Price first addresses what exactly it is about the flamingos that makes them popular. Cleary, she sees no reason for this fad when she describes its “two major claims to boldness.” One, because it was a “flamingo,” and two, because it was “pink.” In her use of sarcasm, she acts as if simply being pink and being a flamingo makes it a legitimate fad; it doesn’t. In fact what she is getting at is that the pink flamingos stand for nothing. There is...
Since the 20th century, bright pink flamingos have captivated the hearts of Americans as a representation of leisure and vacation. From decorative lawn ornaments to various themed decorations, the pink plastic flamingo has been idolized in American culture for decades. In her essay, “The Plastic Pink Flamingo: A Natural History”, Jennifer Price examines the history of the plastic pink flamingo in American culture, and how it became to be the symbol we see today. Through the appeal to authority of notable writers, ironic understatement of the previous views on flamingos, and repetition to convey the significance of the flamingo in other cultures, Price lightheartedly criticizes the materialistic, flamboyant nature of American culture.
In 1886, author Sarah Orne Jewett wrote a short story “A White Heron.” The premise of the story revolves around a young girl, Sylvia, who is uprooted from her home in the city and taken by her grandmother, Mrs. Tilley, to live out in the middle of a forested, country culture. Sylvia, a nine year old girl, is quiet and shy but goes about business of caring for the family cow where life was so different from the “crowded, manufacturing town”(p.1598) she came from. For the first time in her short life Sylvia understood what it truly felt like to be alive. It is important to understand Sylvia’s character to truly understand the significance of the tree and Sylvia climbing to the top. Personal growth and maturity is an expectation of living but getting the opportunity to experience it in the country, on a farm, is paramount to the changes Sylvia experiences.
Pit Bulls are not the aggressive breed that everybody makes them out to be. I can understand why there are some people who think that pit-bulls are just mean, but if you get past the looks, they are just big babies.
In The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister tells how a beautiful, extraordinary, yet, self-centered blue fish learns that being beautiful isn’t the key to happiness. The blue fish came to find this lesson when he lost his friends. Pfister takes a simple ocean setting and explores the consequences of an individual’s arrogance toward their peers, the process of humbling of oneself, and the tremendous reward one feels when they learn to share. The story achieves these morals by the author’s use of detailed imager and also, the influence of minor characters on the antihero in order to reveal to the audience the true thematic message; selfish actions bring true happiness.
Culture is the beliefs and arts of different groups. Knowing that the American Culture is very different and many are confused within this culture. So many different beliefs within the culture it’s hard for it to combine to be what its truly supposed to be. In “The Plastic Pink Flamingo: A Natural History” Price illustrates the love of flamingos in the 1950s but talks about how they almost kill off the flamingos in the early 1800s almost as a use to mock the Americans. In “The Future of Life” critics argue over the environment. Wilson summarizes the two sides and what they like and feel about environment. Also in the speech from Florence Kelley she spoke about the labor trials that children go through and how it seems unfair to her.
“It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony.” –Benjamin Britten music is powerful to all; it affects everyone differently, whether that is positively or negatively. We reminisce on past events through melodies and lyrics. Music has the ability to intensify pleasure and plaster despondency. All musicians have had the ability to impact the history of music and the future implications of music through a personalized method. Not only did the Yardbirds, as a whole, change musical history but also the individual members created an enormous impact on other musicians of their time period, and the way future generations view music in general.
Jennifer Price, in her essay "The Plastic Pink Flamingo: A Natural History," highlights the American culture's ridiculous obsession with displaying wealth through her use of diction, tone, and simile/metaphor. She depicts American culture as nonsensical, and thus ridiculous, because of its disposal of normal standards or logic in order to fulfill its materialistic desires which is shown through the popularity of the pink plastic flamingo in the 1950s.
