Representations of Time: Wordsworth and Constable I do not know how without being culpably particular I can give my Reader a more exact notion of the style in which I wished these poems to be written, than by informing him that I have at all times endeavored to look steadily at my subject; consequently, I hope that there is in these Poems little falsehood of description, and my ideas are expressed in language fitted to their respective importance. Something I must have gained by this practice
to get some fresh air; She took a quick glance at me from the ragged couch and just layed back into the couch, so I walked out the brown wooden door. I put my thin hood over my head and started walking down the old, worn down street. There was a cornfield on the right side of the street and the dark creeping woods on the
see that one when it comes out. The fake trailers displayed in the movie poke fun of some movies we have seen in recent years come out and the times we wish were not sitting in a movie theatre watching their trailers.

safety of their own human nature. Besides the human mind Anthony also manipulates the balance of nature in the cornfield; “he liked the thoughts of the little creatures in [the cornfield], and … he could get enough out of them to know what the little creatures liked and wanted, and he spent a lot of time making the grove more like what they wanted it to be.” Anthony used the cornfield as a showcase of his talents and the villagers, seeing what he was capable of, were dealt a greater fear of him
Susie was walking home from school, taking a shortcut through the cornfield that was often used to get to the junior high, when Mr. Harvey surprised her. He said that he did not want to startle her, her response in her head was, “Of course, in a cornfield, in the dark, I was startled.” (page 6) He asked her if she wanted to see something he built back in the corn, reluctantly she agreed. He walked with her a little way into the cornfield then suddenly stopped. He said that

the battlefield they were met by the confederate General, General Mansfield.General Mansfield’s regiment was hiding in a cornfield at around 60 or 70 yards ahead of the 128th regiment.

A Comparison of Two Film Openings to Great Expectations The story "Great Expectations" is based in Victorian times and was written by Charles Dickens in the 1860s. This novel which Charles Dickens wrote has been produced as a film one version by David Lean and another by B.B.C. The B.B.C version is the modern version and the version produced by David Lean is the traditional version. I will be comparing these two versions of the openings to "Great Expectations".

Sebold was a young girl named Susie Salmon. At the age of 14 she was raped and murdered by her neighbor. It happened on a cold snowy afternoon. After school, Susie took a shortcut through a cornfield to her Pennsylvanian home. On that day, Mr. Harvey, (a face she knew but still a stranger) was in the cornfield. He tells Susie about an underground hide-out that he had built, and it really struck Susie’s curiosity. Mr. Harvey lures Susie into the hole, and Susie quickly realizes that that was a big
Constable departed from the traditions of Dutch and English painting by discarding the usual brown under painting and achieving more luminous lighting effects through the use of broken bits of color applied with a palette knife. The Dedham Vale, The Cornfield, The Leaping Horse, and The Hay Wain are great examples of Constable's individual style and how he was a Romantic Painter. One of Constable's first important paintings was Dedham Vale of 1802
The grass is cool on my bare feet and I feel the summer breeze blow past me from the creek and across the cornfields. It travels into the woods and disappears past the dark trees. Each day I walk through my family's country property and connect to the nature around me in a way that is the closest to spirituality that I have ever experienced. I think about how much I appreciate the peacefulness of the birds and wind and how close I once was to losing my small Eden forever. I know now that the fight

The tempo of the music complements the tone of the setting and current situation well. For example, the scene with the cornfield chase of the drone. The music is uplifting and fast paced, complemented by quick cuts to different points of view of the speeding truck through the cornfield. One recurring theme of non-diegetic music in “Interstellar” is where the music overwhelms the dialogue, creating a disorientating feel. The loud music often happens during

Journal Entry #1 I chose Among The Hidden by Margaret Peterson Haddix for a couple of reasons. First of all, I read the book and the summary really did catch my attention because it’s a very interesting and different story as described. I found it interesting because I was curious right away just by reading the summary in the back, I had so many questions like for example, what would Luke and his family ever do if the population police came to detect their home? Will Luke and Jen be able to come
