In Option 2: Window, the message is that despite one’s belief that things will never get better, they always will one day with the artist’s intention of informing people is presented through diction and symbolism.
The author focuses on a bike in the middle of the image which symbolizes freedom and progress. Additionally the creator uses diction by saying “THERE IS HOPE!” underneath the bike. This person has now progressed through time and they know that there is something to live for. They can now be free from their mind. Next, the author states “When I was in the mental ward I would look out the window a lot. Now since I’m out, I ride my bike past the window everyday and SMILE!” They know that someone in their life has made their life better
As the man in the poem continues his journey, he takes time to notice things in detail. This I believe is a way of cherishing what you might not see again. This also shows us that he cares about the community to notice the little things one last time. For example Edward Field describes the "magnolia trees with dying flowers" and the "bright spring day" (qtd. in Schwiebert 41). The man even picked up the local newspaper before he left, this shows that he cares what is going on in the town and feels enough apart of the community to find out what is in the newspaper that day.

The second piece by Max Ehrmann takes on a different approach, but says essentially the same message using a variety of rhetorical devices to show the theme. Max states “And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should” (Ehrmann, 2) What she means is that however life is to the individual, the universe will always have more to offer. She then goes on to say to “be at peace with God whatever you conceive Him to be” (Ehrmann, 2). The rhetorical device used in this line shows the reader that however the world is in there eyes, one should accept the reality that God has put them in (however you perceive God to be). Even though she mentions God, the poem has nothing to do with religion, yet is in relation with self peace and
Similarly, given the vagueness of the objects that the narrator “cant quite place” within the second stanza, amplifies the trouble that she does not seem to remember exactly what she’s talking about. She begins to describe “a photograph of somebody I never knew, but knew the name of” perhaps a celebrity or distant family member. The end stop lines portray that there is not a lot of depth to the memories on the tray, that they’re truncated. She then moves on to depict her dream to the reader, and I interpret it almost as if the “drooping heads of flowers” is metaphor about life. Life is transient and in the end, will all she remembers about her own life be milk teeth and a contraceptive? The use of numbers in parenthesis could similarly echo life’s cyclical nature such as the 7 being a reminder of the seven days in a week that repeat over and
Arnold then appears at Connie’s house and she notes that “the driver’s [Arnold’s] glasses were metallic and mirrored everything in miniature” (980); perhaps this is the allure of freedom that Connie sees in him, but as the story progresses, the sunglasses begin to inhabit an ominous future as opposed to the initial context. She remains under his constant stare and is subsequently controlled by this. Urbanski even touches on this recurring motif in the story, stating that “she [Connie] is unable to make a telephone call for help because he is watching her; she bumps against a piece of furniture in a familiar room; and when he commands her to do what would otherwise seem an irrational act, to place her hand on her heart to understand its flaccidity, she readily obeys” (Urbanski 2). The next recurrence of looking is in the second to last paragraph of the story where the existential allegory comes to fruition: “She watched herself push the door slowly open as if she were back safe somewhere in the other doorway, watching this body and this head of long hair moving out into the sunlight where Arnold Friend waited” (Oates 989). Perhaps it is in this moment that Connie recognizes herself and is able to step outside of the lighthearted story of a teenage girl experiencing the perils of coming-of-age and “not simply surrendering her virginal innocence, but bowing to absolute forces which her youthful coquetry cannot direct—absolute forces over which she has no control” (Urbanski
At this point of the story it is reflective of a teenager. A teenager is at a time in life where boundaries and knowledge is merely a challenging thing to test and in some instances hurdled. Where even though you may realize the responsibilities and resources you have, there is still a longing for the more sunny feelings of youth.
In the opening scenes, as the two protagonists say goodbye to their family, they throw their phones out of the window with triumphant music being accompanied by. This suggests that they are finally escaping their everyday life where it is heavily consumed by the technology that surrounds them. A bird’s angle through a long shot of the protagonists by the shore has been used to create a sense of futility, thus highlighting that there is no time limit constraining them. A series of videos of them building their house out of debris highlights their creative inventions. Their creativity is portrayed with their idea of using plastic water bottles as insulation, thus symbolizing that discovering something for the first time can broaden one’s understanding. This highlights the impact of discoveries to being able to escape from the norm and allowing the human mind to explore without limitation within a limited environment and thus grow through which has been exemplified through the manipulation of photos and camera
Contrasting with the calm around him is the hectic pace shown across the street where people are quickly going about their lives. The blur shows the pace at which everyone moves; they are all lively in the sun of the day. All of the people in the background have different responsibilities and life styles as shown through the captured moment of their busy days. Having expectations in life such as having a family, a job or just seeing the world, makes it a necessity to work and be active through the
It says, “You smoked weed”. You got behind the wheel. And you hit a six-year-old girl on her bike. Weed can make you do stupid things like that.” Like this, the sentences help us to understand and to imagine this picture.
...ld only see their life through a glass ‘half-empty.’ Perhaps if they would have been able to recognize redeeming qualities in the life they had before them, they would not have felt so hopeless and helpless. They poured so much time and effort into focusing selfishly on the negative and undesirable circumstances in their life, they neglected to simply step back and recognize the positive things that could have given them just as much, if not more joy, than the pessimism they seemed so determined to harbor. They were just too trite to fight for it.
The window in the story that Louise kept staring much of the time in the story represents the opportunities and the freedom that stood in the way of her life once her husband was dead. Through the window,Louise can see fluffy clouds, blue skies, and treetops. She smells a coming rainstorm; she can hear people and singing birds through the window. All she goesthrough her renewed life suggests new life and a spring of rebound joy. Indulged in this new...

The gestural and heavy working of the paint and the contrasting colors make the painting appear active yet are arduous to follow. The defining element of Woman and Bicycle is the presence of the black lines that do most of the work in terms of identifying the figure. Through the wild nature of the brushwork, color, and composition of the painting, it can be implied that the artist is making an implication towards the wild nature of even the most proper of women.
It is uncertain what mysteries the Second Coming will entail. Through the use of symbolism and allusion, Yeats has described how one world meets its horrid demise. However, the birth of the new world's fate will also bring dark repression and havoc. In Yeats' eyes, history well repeats itself, which is evident of the looping spires of the gyre. In addition, the "ceremony of innocence is drowned," indicates that faith, like the act of communion, no longer exists. Although life is full of hopes and dreams for a better world, Yeats makes us speculate if that could ever be possible. It is evident that Yeats' pessimistic view on the Second Coming shows that he is fearful of change as well as the uncertainties of the future. However, one must go on believing and living one's dreams, or one too, will see life as Yeats so boldly foretells.
“There is always hope,” stands on the gray background of the concrete of the famous Banksy graffiti art. The art chosen is made of spray paint and stencil, on a concrete background. The image is a black and white portrait of a little girl, wind blowing through her hair and dress, holding out her arm towards a red, heart-shaped balloon. On the side of the image is the statement written in what appears to be the dirt and soot on the wall, “There is always hope.” The artwork stands out on the inner-city concrete walls, with the bold of the black and white image of the little girl and the brightness of the red balloon, certainly catching to the eye of parents and children in these inner-cities that have little to no hope. It portrays the message
