The Red Pony

Have you heard about all of the muscle cars from 1960 their great? I chose the Lamborghini, Mustang, and the SuperAmerica. All of these sports cars have strong engines that have a ton of horsepower. Some of them were used to race and some of them are just street cars. They usually have v8, v10, v12 engines and the “v” is for the cylinders. These days the cars on the street only usually have a v6 engine. The first car I am going to talk about is the Lamborghini Miura. This car has the v12 engine…

Through the ages the travel of mail has greatly changed, from the great Pony Express to today's mailman travels. The first form of long distance mail delivery in America was created in April, 1860.

It became a place to escape reality. The main attraction of the circus was the American…

Standardizing the visual language has always proved to be a challenge amongst all kinds of artists especially filmmakers. This, in turn, has spawned a collection of individualistic visual expressions in respect to every different director and filmmaker. Through the visualisation of elements within both our daily lives and those of imaginative scapes, the audience are subsequently exposed to an array of overt influences that minutely alter their subconscious mindsets. These messages and symbols,…

The first thing in the morning is to prepare an outfit for the day. Generally when I am getting dressed I think about the weather, what classes I have to attend, and how I am feeling in general. If I am a bit down and just want to be left alone, I will wear black so I don’t stick out, but I still look like I tried to get dressed and look presentable. If I am in a good, happy mood, then I will go with a lighter color such as blue or orange. When getting dressed in the morning, have you ever…
