In life it is nice to have things that mean something. It is nice to be able to look at something and know that it is more than a physical object, that its meaning makes it more valuable. It’s meaning expands its physical boundaries and makes it into something more, because things cease to be just things when they have meaning. They become the physical embodiment of idealized thoughts. They capture what is in the mind and provide a real and tangible representation. Something with meaning by definition is something that has value, significance or purpose. However, in some instances such as mine, the meaning of an object doesn’t exist in such literal terms but rather lies in the created spaces of the mind. When I look down at this tattered piece of cloth, I can feel a sense of meaning. It is a type of meaning that stems from a lot of different places. Which leads us to the beauty of meaning, the fact that it …show more content…
As a Morrissey and The Smiths fan I understand how meaningful Morrissey’s shirts can be. I know how some of his fans are reduced to fighting with the aggression and determination of an ape just to catch the shirt. It is unreal. However, it is more unreal to think of a time when this won’t happen anymore. Looking at the tattered piece of cloth makes me think of a future where Morrissey won’t tour anymore and the experience of a Morrissey show will end. Younger fans will never get to experience the insanity of the encore, and they will never know what it feels like to partake in the strange adventure of capturing an older man’s shirt. My piece of his shirt grants me the opportunity to think of endless possibilities. I can image a future where my piece of cloth will be more cherished and valuable because it will be impossible to go to one of his shows. Anything is possible in the future and it is beautiful that I have something that helps me sculpt and project meaning toward that
forefront while mentioning one such complete cognitive experience is ‘cherishing’. Cherishing according to dictionary meaning refers to holding and nurturing something dear to us. The content of cherishing ranges from tangible object like a favourite childhood toy to intangible construct like hope. The present paper is an attempt to understand what is cherishing and what does it convey in real life and can it be really regarded as a psychological construct.

suspension of disbelief, demonstrates the way that actors and playwrights throughout the ages have honed the power of literature. Speaking directly to the audience as a way to encourage a realistic interpretation, despite physical accuracy or on stage representation, creates a mindset that transforms the play into an objective work of art, and a lens through which the audience can view themselves and the world around them.

Orwell’s Newspeak Appendix as a satirical device that criticizes “media language as a deformation of language, a deviation from ordinary or demotic speech, it becomes an unclear, unanalytical, representation of reality: the compression of headlines, for example, has an inherent potential for ambiguity or double meaning” (Fowler). Fowler states that the Party excuses their use of Newspeak as a way to promote efficiency, but he views Newspeak as the Party’s way “to symbolize speed

mysteries and unanswered questions seem to surround Herman Melville’s story. Literary symbols extend meaning beyond the prosaic representation of realities. Food plays a role symbolically in the story, as it is one of the many things that stand out to the narrator. In a story where materialism plays a significant role, food symbolizes personality, the fulfilments of needs and the representation of compassion. To begin with, Melville uses foods to describe characters based on their consumption. The
and imaginary numbers, real numbers, logarithms, functions, some tangible and others imperceivable. But these abstract numbers, simply symbols that conjure an image, a quantity, in our mind, and complex equations, take on a new meaning with fractals - a concrete one. Fractals go from being very simple equations on a piece of paper to colorful, extraordinary images, and most of all, offer an explanation to things. The importance of fractal geometry is that it provides an answer, a comprehension
and Memory Abstract: This essay reflects on the relationship of photographs, history, and memory based on a found and mutilated photo album. Photographs provide opportunities for disrupting and restructuring history with their attraction to memory; they privilege the subjective, creative power of the personal explanation and provide an emotional and even ideological grounding for memory. Photographs as manifestations of memory assist in the process of understanding the present. As this century
it moves by quickly to the next event if it is not noticed. The Real Time moves to the next event quickly if it is not noticed in time. If one does not take the time to notice the Real Time flowing past them, and to try to understand its significance, then he/she will be left behind it, none-the-wiser. In Ode on a Grecian Urn, Keats states “heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter .” The elements are that tangible and noticeable
distinguishable effect on the urban youth of today. This has led me to constantly wonder the connection between media representation of drug and alcohol consumption by young people and their actual drug and alcohol consumption in two very different cultures that speak the same language. In this document based essay, I will attempt to analyze what academics believe about television’s representation of drug use and its effect on the youth of the current century. Focusing on the television show Skins, produced
the wake of the postcolonial theories and the subaltern studies - the emergence of the Dalit Literature/s provides ample scope for examining the ‘politics of representation’. However, my paper is not concerned as much with the question of the Dalit Literature proper as with the dynamics of the polemical word – ‘dalit’ – and with how, besides a registered manifestation of physical / tangible ‘violence’ or ‘resistance’, not always of course, constant negotiations between narratives and counter-narratives

is the first satirized concept introduced in Heller’s novel. The American military is composed of three universal elements from Heller’s perspective: humanity’s search for meaning, the common bond humans have to communicate through language, and the fate that all humans share, mortality. An American soilder’s search for meaning ultimately stems from trying to break away from the anonymity of the army as a collective. The American military wants to take away the individual aspect from a soldier’s life
profanity has an appropriate role in writing, insofar as it accurately represents how humans truly interact. That standpoint does not approach the argument that “bad” words are sometimes “good,” but rather that sometimes “bad” words are real. With that in mind, Ramifications
