Hawthorne, author of The Scarlet Letter use the color white to characterize Daisy Buchanan as that of a pure woman of society and the act of Holy matrimony in Puritan society, the effect of which is to relate to themes such as the values of Godly Puritan Society and impossible love. In The Great Gatsby, Daisy, is characterised in multiple chapters as wearing white clothes, being of a pale white complexion and owning white possessions such as a white car and house.

Marissa Woo Ms. Barwise ENG 111 12 October 2016 The Red Effect You scroll through the emoji list on your phone for the salsa dancing lady in a red dress. Why are you using this emoji? Do you like red dresses? Does the dancing lady symbolize how you see yourself? Does she represent how you’re feeling? Perhaps she represents how you wish to see yourself, or how you hope others perceive you. In her poem “What Do Women Want,” Kim Addonizio uses a red dress to symbolically communicate her desire…

The pale skinned girl walked with the sound of her heels clicking the midnight concrete. Her breath visible in the cold air, she tugged her yellow raincoat closer to her small body. She turned left on the road, coming upon a deserted farmhouse, she was frightened. As she strolled past, there sat a motorcycle, it seemed older, and out of shape. As the streetlamp and lights of the night lit up the old deserted house, she glanced over towards it. There was a dead tree sitting tall in the yard,…

In Glenn legion’s painting “I do not always feel colored” created in 1990, he uses black oil sticks to paint black letters onto a white background. I chose Glenn Legion because he beautifully demonstrates how we as a species should stand up against societal stigmas of different cultures and instead embrace each other’s originality to create a better world together. In this piece, Legion succeeds in promoting a visual dialogue of how separated he feels our society has become based on our skin…

We all want what we don't have. Everyone would like to be living someone's else's life at some point of their lives. I wonder if that was what it was like for the half-bloods we always hear about. You know, the half-bloods like Percy and Annabeth, all those ones that we always hear stories about. You spend your time dazing off thinking did they spend their entire lives wishing they could be like regular kids, with no intensity and adventure in their lives? But here's the main question and…

“The possibility of Evil” a short story written by Shirley Jackson contains many examples of symbolism. Miss Strangeworth chose the colours pink, green, and blue because each colour is truly symbolic and has its own story. Pink is a delicate colour that is often associated with love, babies, and princesses. It is a happy colour that has a soft touch to it. Miss Strangeworth's biggest concern was that the “little girl is going to grow up expecting luxury all her life” (251). Sending a pink…

1.“The weeping woman” has art elements line, colour, texture, and shape. The first element that I found was lines. There are different lines in the face and the background. Some of the lines are wavy (which are in the hair) and straight (the yellow lines in the background). However, the most significant amount of lines in this portrait are in the woman’s face and the background. The second art element that I found was colour. The colour I noticed in this artwork are primary and secondary colours…

a chair by himself facing the background and the only figure without a shadow? I wondered if maybe all of the figures behind him were possibly representations of the man’s most inner and suppressed thoughts. Were they convey through the black and white images and if so what did the abstract images like the hairy fish and the transparent face mean? The bird could possibly mean freedom. Maybe the photo of the child is actually the man and the man walking with the child is possibly hims and his…

A painting by Rhonda Nyberg titled, "Grace" mainly focuses on an older gentleman who is seen in the painting. The man appears to be higher in age perhaps around seventy years old.

The man 's skin looks weathered from time and is slightly pale, while his cheeks are rosy. His shirt is a forest green and navy blue plaid patterned…
