Third eye

The tradition of the haunted, isolated structure is a well-established hallmark of gothic literary canon. Shirley Jackson’s classic novel, The Haunting of Hill House is definitely no exception, yet the novel roots its terrors within the perceptions of its audience and characters, rather than through explicit depictions of the supernatural. With that in mind, any attempt at a “definitive” film adaptation should adhere as strictly to this concept as possible. The evil of Hill House should be…

that moment I committed myself to pursuing a career in ophthalmology. I became obsessed with memorizing the anatomy of the eye and learning how to use all of my father’s instruments. I spent hours searching the internet…

One particular symbol he used was the human eye. Fitzgerald used the symbol of the eye to illustrate God watching over the neglected American people, God’s view on the…

I sat appalled, not daring to drop my gaze. His eyes were dark similar to mine when I would become enraged. Deep and hollow, no life in them. After all those years singing to a mirror or my shower head, those harmonic tunes...the owner of the song was just meters in front of me. The frigid water would cascade down my back to the point I knew it was time to leave the shower. I knew I was a terrible singer, just ask my pet goldfish - which died. I shuddered at the remembrance of the funeral I…

optic nerve, which carries visual information from the eye to the brain, becomes inflamed. Most of the damage is done to the protective myelin sheath that surrounds the nerve, which is vital for good vision. A few symptoms that occur to people who have Optic Neuritis are: distorted color vision, blurriness, pain, and even vision loss. During a routine eye exam, a doctor will look for signs of Optic Neuritis by checking the eye pressure. The eye will be measured and the pupils will be dilated in…

Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness for people over 60 years old. It is a group of diseases that occur when aqueous humour is unable to flow out of the eye properly, causing an increase in fluid pressure in the eyes, which cause ocular hypertension and damage the optic nerve over time. The flow of aqueous humour can be disrupted either by a partial or full block of its drainage canal or an excess production of the fluid, and the chronic increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) leads to a…

Imagine breaking a composition into thirds, two lines horizontally and two lines vertically. “With this grid in mind the ‘rule of thirds’ now identifies four important parts of the image that you should consider placing points of interest in as you frame your image,” (Rowse, p. 6). View from Mount Holyoke also uses the rule of thirds. At the top left point of interest, it points to the heavy thunderstorm. At the top right point of interest…

from the radio, my eyes were watching cousin Lynn cook, my nose (olfactory) (cranial nerve 1) was smelling the creamy pasta. I’m pretty sure my hands were on my hips or holding a piece of mozzarella that I was going to…

more than six inches apart. Kasey saw a frenzied green eyes, raven hair pasted in wet, messy strands across her face, and two hands pressed in supplication against the window. The woman’s slim neck was ringed in what looked like a red necklace but was really a deep and violent abrasion, dripping pearls of blood. ‘Help me, oh lord, help me!’” (4). This quote is from the book The Burying Place by Brian Freeman. It is a mystery book written in third person. It is a mystery about a child abduction…

will fail. You always fail.” Scar growled. “Maybe the crystal isn’t a good focus for you after all.” “You saw?” The mardoc shrunk into a ball. It would not kill Scar. Never, please never. “Of course I saw.” Scar tapped a claw between its eyes. “I do not have white-eyes. I am not a shaman. I still have enough of their influence in my head to hear and see what they send to another slave. You did not act on those images, my friend. That is another victory.” Scar purred again. Warmth spread through…
