much about Brighton as about Heaven and Hell? The choice of Brighton as a setting in the novel 'Brighton Rock' proves to be a well-drawn pitch for the action; for its atmosphere of constant bustle and goings on; for its close alignment with Pinkie and also as a metaphorical device for depicting the eternal realities of heaven and hell. Although the writer goes into detail about place names in the town (he mentions the Palace Pier, Montpellier road, the West Pier and the racetrack) the specific
The Gingerbread Tortilla Since the mid 1900’s, readers have enjoyed the story of The Gingerbread Man in the original as well as its modified forms. The story has been modified to newer versions, and told from perspectives of different cultures. In the original versions, gingerbread was used as the main character with the story beginning with an old European/American lady baking gingerbread. Now, in the 21st century, children have less and less experience with making gingerbread in their homes
James Joyce was an Irish born author whose descriptions of the mundane life in his hometown of Dublin led to a collection of short stories that include some of the most widely read pieces of British literature. This collection known as the “Dubliners” contains 15 short stories that each centers around a different group of characters and reveals a new theme about life in the city. In Joyce's "Araby", part of the “Dubliners” collection, a young and nameless narrator becomes enamored with his friend
As a child, I usually spent the mornings at the house. The house, where I grew up, was big, and it was surrounded with big trees. It had two massive columns on the both sides with a heavy wooden door between them. Above the front door was a big and spacious balcony with a decorative, metal enclosure around it. There were also two smaller balconies on the both sides of the house. The windows were big, too, and they were covered with snow-white lace curtains from the inside. The house looked a
hues of mostly browns, greys, and whites to convey a symbolic sense of mystery and mourning from the woman, the Young Italian Woman uses variations of color to establish a bright ambience and to give vividness to the environment in which the woman exists in. In The Convalescent, the muted brown color of her robe blends directly into the brown background so much that it transforms the tone of the canvas to mainly brown and converts the space into an asymmetrical arrangement- the brown background becomes
restaurant has big clear window outside. Inside the restaurant is different. This McDonalds also has the upgraded colors and infrastructure. The McDonalds is not the biggest, but not the smallest and looks very up to par. The floor consists of a dark brown type of tile with a black lining in between the tiles. The restaurant also has a mixture of tables and booths. The tables are located towards the windows. The tables have a circle shape and have a light beige color. The tables are supported with a
The first work of art I chose was by Willie Birch, American born 1942, and the title of the work is called Sunday’s Child. Based on my analysis, the figure seems to be made of stone of some type, but not something too strong and heavy because there are no way the structure’s two legs will be able to hold the rest of the body standing up. Thus, the figure can stand alone without any other support. Specific material types in this case is difficult to tell without physically touching and feeling the
vibrant colors, light blues and browns, bright greens, and more. The brush strokes that are very visible and can easily be identified as very thick some might even say bold. The furniture, the objects, and the setting are easy to identify and are proportioned to each other. There is so much to see in this piece to attempt to explain in only a few simple sentences. As previously pointed out the piece is full of many vibrant colors, like the floors a dull, muted yet dark brown that is accented with the pale
grandma's house only one word comes to my mind: fun. A red brick house on top of a small hill is where my memories reside. A slightly curved gravel road led to the front of the house. Eight or nine rose brown apple trees randomly covered the plush green lawn. Down the small hill, muddy brown water trickled down a ditch with cattails surrounding it. One enormous willow tree sat in the background, to the right of the house, to complete the picture. It almost seemed like a picture from a postcard
arrangements of Chinese styled meats, rice, and vegetables were scrumptious. The roasted chicken with its dry skin was covered by an orange sauce with green onions glued to the surface of the sauce. The rice, darkened to the color of light brown, housed the pieces of yellow and white scrambled egg, the cubed pieces of salted, cured ham, and shreds of imitation shrimp meat. The stir fried vegetables were made up of carrots, long two inch green string beans, and the head and partial
When I wake up in the morning and see my mother, I find every characteristic of a perfect woman in her. She is a strong willed, confident, and attractive woman. She has wavy, black hair and dark brown eyes. Her face has a slightly rectangular oval, which makes her look both gentle and strong. She has high, arching eyebrows and a slightly turned up nose. Her chin is smooth and luminous. She is not tall, about five feet, but she is slim and graceful. My mother is an outspoken woman. In her tiny appearance
Rhetoric In “Quit Smoking” Ads : There are two types of people in the world, people who smoke and people who do not. Accordingly to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), current smoking has declined from nearly 21 of every 100 adults (20.9%) in 2005 to nearly 18 of every 100 adults (17.8%) in 2013. However, there are many ads to promote companies, whose goal is to end smoking for good. But still remains many people around the world of different ages, still hooked on the addictive
The first time I became aware of what my hair looked like was when I was ten years old in a suburban Applebees. The waitress turned to me and asked “What would you like to drink young man?” I was shocked. No one had ever in my ten years of life ever mistaken me for a boy, including that one time I was covered head to toe in mud. Then again I should have realized shearing off two feet of hair in a fit of my own brilliance would have altered my appearance just a little bit. I thought it was nothing
thinking upon our relationships with one another. There are many types of these bonds whether it be between mother and child or owner and pet. The story of “A Dark Brown Dog”, is one take on how some relationships can leave us with a dark place in our heart. The story begins with a child standing on a street corner in the summer. When a dark brown dog, with a rope tied around his neck approaches him. The author gives no great detail to the setting of this story. Which leads the reader to believe that one
rectangular borders around the artwork. Each border is of different size, color, and texture. As the painting is viewed from the outside a large rectangular border is shown. This border appears to be a page from the album. It is light gold and light brown in color, and it is outlined with a solid gold outline on both ends. On the inside, it is imprinted with rows of small gold plants, each one with a six petal flower, two leafs, and a shot stem. These rows of flowers are shown from a top side view which
The Mountain Vacation My family and I have always loved are camping trips, especially the ones the take us deep into the depths of the Sierra Nevada mountians. There's a very unique and beautiful camp ground near Mammoth Lakes called Devils Postpile. My is it beautiful, two gigantic crystal clear lakes, wildlife sites that could easily be posted in any National Geographic magazine, and trout that have enough meat on their bones to suvive in the deepest of any ocean. One little problem
view, I felt as if I'd made a statement as ordinary as "apples are red" and "leaves are green" and had elicited a thoroughly bewildered response. I didn't know then that seeing such things as yellow P's and orange R's, or green B's, purple 5's, brown Mondays and turquoise Thursdays was unique to the one in two thousand persons like myself who were hosts to a quirky neurological phenomenon called synesthesia. Later in my life, I would read about neuroscientists at NIH and Yale University working
she is in and she makes the stories more interesting and enjoyable to read. Bella is a seventeen year old girl who is from Phoenix, Arizona. She went up to live with her dad though because her parents were divorced in the book. She has dark brown hair, brown eyes, and pale skin. She is normal height and skinny. Bella was always sweet and kind to everyone even if they bugged her a little bit. I think that is sweet because sometimes when we don’t like someone we’re mean to them. She has always

her beautiful face. It was the only thing I looked forward too every day. Her Iris faded from light brown to dark brown. I fell in love with her face. I had inhaled my addiction every moment that I had the chance to. My morning basically consisted of eating at Mrs.Brodkin restaurant. She had amazing food much better than Brachers. Sophie would eat there too and I would just stare at her long brown hair. Occasionally she would look back at me and smile. When she turned around to smile at me, her star
