In a room full of brown haired children and parents stands the bright red hair of Koby Hilton. This is quite unusual for the Hilton family as they are use to the dark brown hair of their children and ancestors. Yet this unique red hair appeared before them. Koby Hilton was born May thirtieth two thousand one with a hair color the Hiltons were not used to seeing and were very confused. Koby’s mother washed his hair a lot after he was born because she could not believe he had red hair. He had red eyebrows and eyelashes and that is how the doctors knew Koby would be the odd ducking the rest of his life with red hair in a brown haired family. In all family photos of the Hiltons there was the chubby little baby Koby Hilton with the brightest red hair and eyes blue as the Florida beaches you see in pictures. Koby’s mother confused as where the red hair came from began to do some research to find it’s origin. Through her research of the Hilton ancestry she found that a great grandparent had the same bright hair as Koby and she was …show more content…
As long as I can remember Kobys hair has amazed me at how thick and just almost unnatural red it is. My older brother and I both with brown hair joked all the time with this red headed little brother of ours that he stole the thickness of his hair from me, I have somewhat thin hair, and that he stole my older brother’s color, my older brother now at twenty eight has plenty of gray hair. More we would joke about him being the red headed step child, a quote from a movie we would often watch. I will never forget the time I asked Koby what he thinks about his red hair and he said “It is awesome I am different from everyone and I like it.” No matter how much different his hair is though people always say that my little brother looks exactly like me except with red hair. He will always be a Hilton no matter his bright red
Annie Turnbo Malone was an entrepreneur and was also a chemist. She became a millionaire by making some hair products for some black women. She gave most of her money away to charity and to promote the African American.

The author also referred to the hair of Zeena and Mattie quite often. Zeena had only “thin strands of hair”, and she wore a “hard perpendicular bonnet” above her head. The sight imprinted in the reader’s mind is not a pleasant one. Zeena appears to be stern and rigid. On the contrary when Mattie’s hair was described, it is more appealing. Ethan remembers her “smoothed hair and a ribbon at her neck”. A ribbon is more appealing to the reader than a “hard, perpendicular bonnet.” Mattie’s hair was also described as looking like a “drift of mist on the moon”. Unlike Zeena’s uninviting hairstyle, Mattie’s hair had a soft and silky quality to it. Mattie seemed to walk about the house with a halo of light surrounding her, almost like an angel. The conflicting hairstyles of the two women represented an overall difference in personalities. Mattie was a feminine young girl, while Zeena was an old hag who made no attempt to better her appearance.
The texture of her hair was somehow both firm and soft, springy, with the clean, fresh scent of almonds. It was a warm black, and sunlight was caught in each kink and crinkle, so that up close there was a lot of purple and blue. I could feel how, miraculously, each lock wove itself into a flat or rounded pattern shortly after it left her scalp- a machine could not have done it with more precision- so that the “matting” I had assumed was characteristics of dreadlocks could be more accurately be described as “knitting”.

Ron has the face that refused to age. No matter how much of his hair he looses, or how much of a beard he grows, he continues to have a boyish charm. For some viewers he is always remembered as Opie Taylor and to others as Richie Cunningham, while the more populated group of the confused he is know as Opie Cunningham. (sitcomsonline)
... the 1860’s, hair was always combed flat on top and parted in the center of the head, with the adornment of the hair done in the back. Some women wore curls or braids in the back of their heads, where others wore it all in a tight bun. Large ringlets were also popular for a time during the sixties although the flat topped center part remained a staple even with ringlets. (Setnik 46).
The year of 1660 was a year which was full of change, the rich people were coming over with new styles from France and Britain. This hair style pulled back most of the hair and coiled it in the back, and then the excess hair was curled and made to cascade around the face. Often time pearls and ribbons were added to the coil in the back.

Upon first impression, one might believe Jay Gatsby is nothing more than a self-satisfied, well-to-do bachelor living in luxury in West Egg. However, as his story unfolds, the reader finds out that he is an industrious man and a hopeless dreamer. The quintessential colors of yellow, green, and blue are used by F. Scott Fitzgerald to describe Gatsby’s characteristics in his magnum opus, The Great Gatsby. Yellow, an incandescent color, stands for his vivacious outward disposition, the shallow people around him, and his seemingly self-indulgent spending habits, for which he has an ulterior motive. Green represents the extreme lifestyle changes Gatsby has made in adulthood and his staunch hopefulness in finding love. Blue is a symbol of the
...holism. Also, the gray streaks in his hair are used to show his aging, possibly caused by his overuse of alcohol to escape the dreariness and stress of academia and his life in general.

The speaker describes the young man by saying he had the look of a mugger, he wore red the same shade as the inside of a body. The reader can with ease imagine this shifty character lurking down an abandoned street in the dark of night. Then the speaker depicts an image of herself as wearing fur, the skin of an animal. Fur is expensive so the reader knows this woman has money. She also mentions how the black man could take the coat and her briefcase so now the reader sees this woman in some cushy job at a business or law firm. The two images are representative of two different worlds that would not normally

For most people, a certain colour may represent something meaningful to them. While in the Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, many of the colours used in the novel are meant to represent something.
