Looking at landscape art, especially when painted by one of the masters, many have undoubtedly pondered: what would it be like to live there? Shapes and attention to detail are, of course, important in a painting. However, it is color that draws the eye and inspires the heart. Oscar Wilde, an Irish poet and dramatist, spoke well of this when he noted that, “Mere color, unspoiled by meaning, and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways. (qtd in “color”)”. Vincent
American Violet is an American film that depicts the institutionalized racism African Americans face at the hands of the judicial system. Based on a true story, this movie was set during the election of 2000 and after the election. A young single mother of four, Dee Roberts, is wrongful accused of selling drugs in Melody, Texas. The powerful district attorney in Melody authorizes a police raid of Dee’s project apartments due to a single informant information. While drugs were never found in her apartment
universal topics into my poetry, particularly Father & Child and the Violets, to transcend time and provide meaning to a range of different contexts, whilst reflecting my own context and values. In “The Violets” I entwine the past and present, the reoccurring flower motif of ‘spring violets’ sprout in both memory and reality to reflect the persona’s age and perceptions “I kneel to pick frail melancholy flowers among ashes and loam”. The violets portray the persona as an adult, whose gained knowledge and lacking
The first major theme is depression. An example of this is when Violet Markey’s sister dies. When she dies Violet doesn’t want to do anything, she never wants to ride in a car. She stops doing everything she used to do and stops hanging out with who she used to. One example of this is when she goes to a party, she says that she’s never been to a party ever since Eleanor died, she then shows up with pajamas and a pillow. When she’s walking to the party she states that she’s drifted from her old friend

I choose to represent A Series of Unfortunate Events because I found it interesting. I have seen the movie but never read the book before so I wanted to see what is it about, and I was completely amazed because the book is different from any other book I have read. It is written in easy-to-read language and almost every potentially new word is explained through the conversations. Events are weird and sometimes confusing, and everything is different and hard to explain but that is why people like
History of the African Violet: The African Violet is a very common houseplant. African Violets, are also known as, Saintpaulia Ionantha. The African Violet was founded in 1892 in Northeast Tanga and German East Africa. The man who found the plants was named, Saint Paul. Once Saint Paul found them, he gave some to his father who lived in Germany. Once people began to see these plants, it quickly became a trend. The African Violet plants stayed in the Europe area for about two years, before eventually
The Story begins on a beach with three young children playing. Violet, 14, inventor; Klaus, 12, amateur researcher; and Sunny, baby, professional biter who has not totally developed speech. When they arrive to the beach it is a cloudy foggy overcast day. Violet is spending her time here skipping rocks, Klaus is studying tide pools and Sunny is just enjoying her time being at the beach with her older siblings. Even though it is not the greatest day in the world, the children are enjoying their time
handle an unhappy ending. He did just that in his novel, The Bad Beginning, the first novel in The Series of Unfortunate Events. The writing style unmistakably sets a gloomy and dire world for his characters. It starts off with the three siblings Violet, Klaus and Sunny experiencing the great grief of their parents’ sudden death. The children, now orphans, have to go live with their distant relative, Count Olaf, who have no intention of treating them well. The readers soon learn that the children
huge submarine just for a sugar bowl. You also know this because many characters, such as Captain Widdershins, Count Olaf and Quigley Quagmire say that this object is too important and secretive to reveal its purpose. The climax of this book is when Violet Klaus and Sunny are walking to the taxi parting with Mr. Poe. This is the climax of the book because this was the highest point of interest and appeal. The author, Lemony Snicket, uses details and delays the end to an extent where you become very
series of unfortunate events, violet is constructed to be an emotionally strong inventor, Klaus is constructed to be a bookish intelligent teenager with intelligence well beyond his age, sunny is constructed to be a baby who loves to bite things whose name shows her intelligence and count Olaf is constructed to be a self-centred, evil man that is a very bad actor. Each of these characters are constructed using a mixture of symbolism, written, audio and technical codes. Violet is the eldest of the three
A Series Of Unfortunate Events The series of Unfortunate Events originally written by Daniel Handler and narrated by Lemony Snickett’s. Shows the story of 3 orphans Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire who face many obstacles and tragic events throughout the series while trying to unleash and solve their family secrets. The orphans parents died in a mysterious fire, and now the orphans are being passed around from guardian to guardian. They are passed on to a distant relative named Count Olaf, who
Snow White jumped off the cliff, and plunged into the waters below, trying to escape the evil queen's huntsmen once again. That is one example of one that would do unspeakable things in order to survive. Everyone knows the classic tale of Snow White, but Once Upon A Time puts twists on every tale you thought you knew. In the tv show Once Upon A Time, all fairy tales are twisted into a new form, and one of the strongest relationships between the show's most famous villain, and the one fairy tale
In Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, Roald Dalh use’s the 7 deadly sins to symbolize the main characters from the 1964 book. Willy Wonka holds a contest where five kids find a golden ticket in a candy bar can come into his factory, take a tour, and win a prize at the end. The seven deadly sins represent seven of main characters. The seven deadly sins are lust, gluttony, greed, pride, anger, sloth, and envy throughout my paper you will see how each one is represented. Willy Wonka is the leading
message pointed out a place, somewhere near Lake Lachrymose, and it was possibly where Aunt Josephine was. The children immediately went down the hill towards the dock. There, they realized that there was no way they could reach Aunt Josephine. Then, Violet remembered Captain Sham's business, sailboat rentals. They decided to steal one and they took off. Another problem arose- Aunt Josephine did not want to go back to Damocles Dock with them. She was afraid of the leeches that inhibit the lake. But she
crystal violet using spectroscopy. Graphical methods will be used to determine the kinetic rate law, rate constant and activation energy for the reaction. General Discussion: The order of hydroxide was determined by the varying the initial concentration of hydroxide in runs 1 and 2. We used the isolation method, which calls for having much higher concentrations of one reactant then the other, in this case the concentration of NaOH being much higher than the concentration of Crystal Violet. This method
Summary of The Austere Academy Mr. Poe drives the Baudelaire children to Prufrock Preparatory School. When they get there they meet Vice Principal Nero. Supposedly, they have an advanced computer system that will keep Count Olaf away. When they get there they hear about this wonderful place to live where you get fresh bowls of fruit every day, there is a library, and a game and social room. Only if you have your guardian sign a permission slip. Since the Baudelaire children did not have a guardian
The Guiding question of this investigation is “ How Fast Does the Crystal Violet Decolorize?” The goal of the study was to find out which rate law matched the decolorization of crystal violet. The rate laws that are used during the experiment are zero order, first order, and second order. The zero order reaction, is graphed in a linear line with a negative slope. Reflecting concentration over time. The first order action, is the linear line with a negative slope reflects Ln of concentration over
The world has people that come in many different shapes and sizes. We have a variety of ethnicities, religions, and statuses. Rich people, poor people... what do they all have in common? They have a life, plain and simple. A life full of loved ones, loved things, loved places. But are they happy? Are most people satisfied with what they have in life? In this world there is pain and happiness, and you do not always get to choose what your lot is going to become. In The Rescue Artist by Edward Dolnick
