I thought it was a costume party,” stammered Terence. Terence was a very absent minded, forgetful boy. People say he is so forgetful that it’s freaky. “ No Terence, I said it was a pajama party,” Sally chuckled, laughing at his Batman costume. “ Oh… okay I’ll be right back,” Terence sprinted his cape whooshing in the wind as the Dark Knight vanished down the street. Terence was always a good kid, but due to his memory that is extremely bad, his academics fell short. Since his academics fell…

object and others are absorbed by it. Our eyes see colors that are bounced off or reflected. Color is an important aspect of any production. Color adds a descriptive element to a movie. Although there has been several successful movies in black and white, color gives the viewer a better understanding to what they are watching. When watching a movie in black you may not get the full effect of the movie as you would with a movie with color. Directors put time and effort in creating films to turn…

“I thought maybe you weren’t going to make it on time.” “Collin.” She says, recognizing his voice. “We don’t use names here,” Donovan says, in a hushed tone. “In fact, you probably shouldn’t talk at all. And keep that mask on.” Alex looks past Collin into a sea of tuxedos and evening gowns. Then turns looking over the room. There are three large rooms. You can see into each as they are only separated by glass walls. Large iron chandeliers hang from high stone ceilings. Comfortable looking…

For this piece of artwork I used pencil and a smudger. I made this in my 9th grade year for my art and design class. The title of this work is "Kitchen Drawer Drawing". My first impression when viewing the artwork is the background drowns out the objects, the objects are not dark enough while the background is too dark. Most of the objects can be recognized. Some of them the shading make the objects seem more like a blur than any kitchen item, so it makes it somewhat unrecognizable. The…

Many Americans assume that jeans have always been a fashion statement. However, in the book Signs of Life in the USA written by Sonia Massik and Jack Solomon, the progression of how jeans originated as clothing for blue collar workers and gradually evolved into a fashion statement in the 1980’s. For example, ripped jeans in the 1960’s expressed defiance of the establishment and dissatisfaction with the Vietnam War. At this point in time, consumer culture leads us to believe that jeans no longer…

White supremacist movements in the South during the end of the Civil war affected African Americans immensely – black people were treated unfairly and received major backlash from majority of white southerners with violence, intimidation and legislation that inhibited black southerners for the majority of the early twentieth century. A lot of this backlash from white southerners was due to the rejection of the idea white supremacy; white supremacy proved to be insufficient to sustain order,…

In order to realistically portray this time period and those events, it would have been necessary to include the Hispanic workers who were a part of those strikes. Therefore, one must ask why Steinbeck seems to avoid making the minorities who were affected another face of the time period. To envision a novel where the white proletariat would represent an entire nation and not address the minority members of the proletariat would make the novel less realist because it would…

color, acting, directing, and script help further the narrative of racial tension via the use of socioeconomic status. There is a subtle use of the colors blue and white throughout Get Out as a representation of the dichotomy of the two races: blue symbolizes African Americans and their plight with racism, while white symbolizes control over another person or race. Blue is seen throughout the movie as clothes on the protagonist, Chris Washington (Daniel Kaluuya), throughout his…

To Kill a Mockingbird (TKAM) is a phenomenal book that teaches life lessons that will resonate with any reader for the rest of their life. It’s a book that has two main themes supported by almost every character that was worth noting. One main theme was walking in somebodies shoes, because of the poor times of the depression, it was hard to understand the ways somebody lived. The other main theme was Innocence, which a mockingbird represented. The main characters, Jem, Scout, and Dill, all have…

In general, Fritz Scholder used people to show ethnic subject matter. This does not coincide with what I have learned about earlier painters such as those in the Oklahoma School. The most artwork from earlier painters are traditional portraits and pictures of recording the ceremony. Fritz Scholder combined Indian culture with American culture to show the Indian with a beer can, the Indian with a American flag, and a portrait of himself with a cat. He also drew abstract in which expressed…
