...Brownsburg Going Green The place I call home is Brownsburg, Indiana. I have lived and grown up there my entire life as well have my parents. Brownsburg is located in Hendricks County, which is about 20 minutes west of Indianapolis. It has a growing population of 22,000. Brownsburg has a total of six elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school. In 2009, Brownsburg was ranked number one in the state and number thirty three in the nation for top places to live. This was because Brownsburg’s low crime rate, excellent school system, and strong economy. These are all of the reasons why I love my hometown and why I chose it for this paper. I believe by making simple changes in the community, transitioning to a post-carbon community will be a lot easier. If I had to envision myself living the “good life,” it would have to start with having a family with 3 kids and a wife. We would be living in a two story house in a neighborhood that it close to the schools. My wife and I would both have successful jobs, together making over 125,000 a year. I want to be a nice, well known, sociable guy around the community. I see myself being involved in as many community activities possible and hope that everyone else in Brownsburg will too. In a perfect life, I see Brownsburg as a place where the whole community can be a happy place where everyone has an important purpose. A lofty goal, but a good goal would be to have everyone in the community know each other. Another goal would be...

...write, it takes a little practice but soon your roses will look great. I drawed the painting by oil painting , i choose two colors with it shades . i choose natural colors it make it beautiful and shine. My color scheme: Green is an emotionally positive color, giving us the ability to love and nurture ourselves and others unconditionally. A natural peacemaker, it must avoid the tendency to become a martyr. Being a combination of yellow and blue, green encompasses the mental clarity and optimism of yellow with the emotional calm and insight of blue, inspiring hope and a generosity of spirit not available from other colors. Green promotes a love of nature, and a love of family, friends, pets and the home. It is the color of the garden lover, the home lover and the good host. This color relates to stability and endurance, giving us persistence and the strength to cope with adversity. Green is the color of prosperity and abundance, of finance and material wealth. It relates to the business world, to real estate and property. Prosperity gives a feeling of safety to green. Red is the color at the end of the spectrum of visible light next to orange and opposite violet. Red is one of the additive primary colors of light, along with green and blue.

...certain character. The most important color in this book is green, more specifically the green light, shows Gatsby’s hope and ambition to achieve his American dream in the beginning to how he eventually fail to attain it with money. The color green reminds us of hope and renew. In the book, Gatsby himself views the green light as a sign of he should go for his dream. He always believes Daisy will leave Tom and choose to marry him again. In real life, when the traffic light turns green, it is a sign tells us it is safe to go. Gatsby interprets this as he is right with everything he is doing right now and he will soon achieve his goals. When he says “I’m going to fix everything just the way it was before,” he said, nodding determinedly. “She’ll see.”(Fitzgerald, 110.), it shows he has the confidence that he is on the right track. However, the narrator Nick...

...Gallery Critique On October 30, 2013, I went to UWL gallery to see amazing works of art. I had a deep impression on a picture named No One Will Ever Know that is made by Izel Vargas. 1. Firstly, I would like to discuss the use of color in this picture. Wearing a dark green T-shirt, with two broken and bloody arms, holding a dark black gun, a policeman whose head is an arguing man and woman is in the picture. The hues of this artwork are red, green, orange and yellow, and each hue has a value. The artist uses a dark value of pure red, green and yellow, a light value of pure orange. Similarly, the tint of this picture is light orange, and shades of this picture are dark red, green and yellow. For example, the skin of the arms are light orange; the bloody arms are dark red; the T-shirt is dark green; the logos of the shirt are dark yellow. The artist also uses the neutral colors which are white, black, dark black and dull brown. For example, the gun and leather belt are dark black; the background of the arguing man and woman is white; the background of the whole picture is black. The artist used the color temperature. The dark red of the bloody arms and dark green of T-shirt are warm, because the background is black that is the cooler color. 2. Secondly, I want to describe the use of line in this picture. The processes used in this particular work are contour line, hatching and cross-hatching. The artist uses the contour line to draw the outer edge of the man, woman and house...

...The short story "Red from Green" was written by Maile Meloy in 2009. The story is about a fifteen year old girl called Sam. Sam is from Montana, which is also where the setting is played. The narrator - Maile Maloy - is born and raised in Montana. This might be why she chose to set the setting here. Sam's mother is dead, so Sam lives alone with her father. Sam and her father's relationship seem very good. Sam's a near-future sophomore, but has recently been offered a scholarship to a boarding school back east - she hasn't accepted the offer yet. Originally the "going to boarder school thing" was the father idea, but every time the subject came up, he looked very dismayed. (P. 8 L. 6-7). She is very insecure in herself and her choices, which we can see by her way of doubting a lot when having to take choices throughout the story - "She had a sense that she wasn't equipped for it (boarding school). And she was wondering if she really had perfect teeth (she was told that she had perfect teeth earlier in the story)". (P. 9 L. 62-63). For as long as Sam can remember, she has always been down the river every summer with her father. No matter how the weather was - "in dozen rainstorms, and in hot sun that burned the print of swimsuit straps into her shoulders."(P. 8 L. 10-12). But in the story we experience their last float trip down the river. Sam and her father went down the river with her uncle - Harry - and her uncle's client - Layton. At a time in the story Sam and Layton are...

...The Great Gatsby, F Scott Fitzgerald Chapter 6 Color Analysis May 24, 2011 Jay Gatsby | -“torn green jersey” (104): The color green symbolizes wealth and money. At this time in the book, Gatsby is working for Dan Cody, the guy who greatly supplies his wealth. The fact that the jersey is torn signifies the hard work that Gatsby demonstrates which then leads to him reaping the benefits of hard work. This section furthers to talk about his parents and how they were “unsuccessful farm people” also that Gatsby “was a son of God.” This is to say that although Gatsby’s parents were hard workers, they were unsuccessful in reaching their ideal “American dream”. Gatsby is currently making those dreams happen. He was helping to complete his father’s business, and is therefore relatively “a son of God.”---- The green jersey also symbolizes the new life that he yearns for that is full of wealth. Right at this stage in the book, Gatsby is called different names: Gatsby, James Gats, Jay Gatsby, young Gats: Each name recognizes a different stages of growth towards the Wealthy life.-“His brown, hardened body lived naturally through the half fierce, half lazy work of the bracing days.” (104): Brown is the color of earth, and of “getting down and dirty”. It further symbolizes the humility Gatsby underwent while with Dan Cody. Because the idea of wealth plagued Gatsby (“his heart was in a constant turbulent riot.”), he reaped the fruit of his labor as discussed with the color change discussed...

...Brighten Your Home It is true that one’s home reflects one’s mood. Do you think that your house doesn’t have the right voice to reflect your personality? Do you think that your house lacks the right shades that energize you? That is right time when your house needs a makeover. Here are some simple decorating tips and recommendations can go a long way to give you that cozy cute home. PLANTS They are nature’s beauty in abundance. Plants can add a refreshing feeling when kept in your room or living room. Surrounded by so many materials and artificial things around can make you feel plastic. Plants allow better flow of air in your room. This inexpensive tip does not only brightens up your room but also give you an healthy air to breathe. ADD NEW PILLOWS TO YOUR SOFA Buy new fabric to stitch your pillow cover. Do not stick to a single fabric design or the same colour. Instead buy colors that will contrast with each other (like yellow and light green). Mix different fabrics together to get that funky design especially if you have youngsters and kids at home (because their visitors will love it). The patterns in vogue now are floral and block prints. Make sure to add a zip to your pillows as it will make it easy for you to wash it and use it again. PURPLE RUG You’ve given a complete makeover to your room but still feel that something is missing. Well a purple rug to your floor can give that exact finishing touch to your perfect beautiful home.

...Assignment B Red from Green is a short story written by Maile Meloy (from 2006). The personnel consist of just four people: Sam, her father, her uncle named Harry and his client, Layton. Sam is the main character – a girl. Although the name itself is for both sexes (e.g. short form for Samantha or Samuel) it is clear from the third word in the beginning that in this story Sam is a girl’s name. The story takes place in Montana at a river where the four characters are on a float trip down a river. Montana is the author’s home and one oft he most sparsely populated areas in the United States. The narrator stays close to Sam. Sam has just turned fifteen and has been offered a scholarship to a boarding school. In the beginning of the story she is yet unsure whether to accept it or not. But her personality changes within the story – and so does the decision pro or con boarding school: when we meet Sam in the beginning she is still a girl. Sam takes the same trip like every childhood years before. She and her father had been there before „as long as she can remember“. Obviously the trip is a sacred summer family routine, Father and daughter go into the wilderness to spend time together. But this year things do turn differently: Sam wasn’t the little girl she was many years before. She is more and more grown up and experiences the trip in a completely different way than all the previous years. Already in the first sentence the narrator tells that this was going to be her „last...

...kindergarten and they are ranked for their behavior of the day using a color system. When he comes home with pink, it means he had a great day, green means a good day, yellow means a day in which they struggled to follow orders or behave, and red meaning they were sent to the principals office. My son immediately replied that he earned green, I congratulated him and that was that for that particular conversation. The conversation was later picked up at home after dinner when he was doing his homework. The setting of this conversation took place at our kitchen table when I was looking over my son’s folder so that I could initial it on the square that has the graded color for the day. His teacher requires the parents to initial the folder everyday, that way she knows that we are actually looking at our kid’s folders. The first thing I noticed when I opened my son’s folder was that the color green was marked in pretty dark for that day, it seemed as if he put a lot of pressure on the green marker. Next to his color there was a note from the teacher that read, “Xavier had a rough day at school today because he cut Rosaura’s hair with a pair of scissors.” I immediately turned to my son and asked him if he had cut a classmates hair with scissors. The expression on his face changed from a smile to a frown before I even finished my question. He knew that he did something wrong before he even came home that day. The goal of the upcoming conversation was not to make him feel guilty for what...

...1 Student Sample Symbolism in the Golden Movie Beauty and the Beast When one thinks of Beauty and the Beast, pictures may appear of a golden dress, a pink rose, or a Beast outfitted in blue. This brightly colored movie is a favorite for many Disney loving children and adults. In Beauty and the Beast, “the tale as old as time” is depicted through the symbolism of the carefully selected colors as Belle finds her way to the Beast. The town’s people’s attire is dull: bleak browns, greens, and reds; this shows the conformity of the people and the simple mindedness of the town. Belle’s Papa’s green attire shows conformity as well. No matter how hard he tries to break out and be different, he is always sucked back and consumed by the poor provincial town. Then when Belle becomes happier in the castle, she is depicted in the same green because she is conforming to the castle life and ceasing to push back and long to be free. After connecting with Belle, the Beast changes into the same green. This wardrobe change represents the Beast’s desire to be what Belle wants and what he needs to be to break the spell. Gaston, the manly-man antagonist, is shown wearing a bright red shirt with a mustard collar. The mustard is a mock gold; this shows his need to be first, to be royal. He craves the attention he rakes in. The red signifies hostility. The combination of these colors displays his selfish appetite for power. In the Beast’s introduction and throughout the beginning of the movie, he wears...
