You can see that the sculptures or the main “character” of the painting is usually placed ( or appears to be placed) towards the front more often than the back. He catches your eye to the main idea this way. The figures are distorted. They don’t have a real sense of balance or proportion. They tend to be formed how they want. The body’s on the figures for example are never really accurate to one another or too symmetrical obviously if there’s an arm on one side their tends to be on the other side but they may not always align or be doing the same thing. In my opinion and from my point of view, no. He doesn’t have an equal or a rule book he follows. He does what he feels should be done and he leaves his representation of how it appears or should appear to him. He has his own ideas and isn’t afraid to follow them. The focal point in his painting is the figure sitting. He achieves this focal point by drawing smaller lines around it that draw your eye to the...

...characters in the novel. In The Great Gatsby, the automobile is a symbol of the power and violence of the upper social class. In his novel, Fitzgerald depicts Owl Eyes being accused of driving an automobile into a ditch. Fitzgerald writes: A man in a long duster had dismounted from the wreck and now stood in the middle of the road looking from the car to the tire and from the tire to the observers in a pleasant puzzled way. “See!” he explained. “It went in the ditch.” (58-59) Through this scene, Owl Eyes is depicted as being accused of drunkenly driving a car into a ditch (59). Through Owl Eyes’ drunkenness, Fitzgerald depicts power carelessly used to lead to violence. In The Great Gatsby, the automobile is an invention that only the rich can afford, hence giving them a certain power that not all social classes can obtain. The automobile gives the upper class a certain mobility that allows them to move through American society easily. Hence, the automobile is a tangible symbol of the upper class’ power. When Owl Eyes is accused of crashing the car, Gatsby’s guests become concerned and upset at the mishap (59). The crashing leads to a minor violent situation against Owl Eyes. Hence the crashing of the automobile is a symbol of violence that comes about from being upper class. When Owl Eyes is wrongly accused of crashing the car, the drunk driver claims the steering wheel broke off. Fitzgerald writes, “Half a dozen fingers pointed at the amputated...

Problem: According to a recent study (www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMsa1103053?query=featured_home (Links to an external site.)), warfarin, insulin, oral antiplatelet agents, and oral hypoglycemics accounted for more than two-thirds of the drugs tied to hospitalization for adverse drug events in older adults. Most events were associated with unintentional overdoses at home. Medication errors can occur in clinical settings or at home because humans are not perfect and therefore, they make errors too and so do the man-made machines. The patients are more likely to experience medication errors at home than a hospital because a health professional is not present to double check medications, no standard process to follow like the hospital does, no set schedule take them, and no alerts before taking them. The patients have to be more cautious when taking high-alert drugs such as warfarin, antiplatelet agents, insulin, and oral hypoglycemics because these can lead to serious and even life-threatening situations....

...Introduction, Eye contact, Body Posture & Gestures, Voice, Organization, and Conclusion to give a well thought, organized and performed speech. How to Present a Polished Speech The introduction is the first thing your audience will hear. Many presentations fail in the opening sentences. Take the time to plan your words in the introduction and make it influential. The primary goal of a speech introduction is presenting an idea and your intentions. Make the audience want to hear the rest of your speech. (Peterson, 2005, p. 1) Botch the introduction as well as other fine points of your presentation and you chances of presenting a polished speech becomes much harder. To give a well polished speech I would first start off with an introduction, which will present the purpose of my speech. Then immediately catching the audience attention by giving them a reason to listen, should it be to save money, the subject is vital life/death, or they may need the information for their job. I will also establish my credibility in my introduction by letting the listeners know my credentials on the particular subject I’m speaking on which will also influence my audience’s attention. Though my introduction is key, nonverbal such as eye contact and body language play a huge part as well, The eyes communicate strong messages of inner confidence, credibility, sincerity, and message value and audience empathy. As a speaker, you need to harness the power of eye contact...

...related to eyes. In Freud’s The Uncanny, the fear of losing one’s eyes substitutes for the fear of castration. From my perspective, the castration theory lacks evidence in the literature itself. However it is the fear of losing his eyes that cumulates in and leads to Nathaniel’s madness, as is mentioned when he sees a pair of eyes taken out of Olympia, the automaton. On a deeper level, madness is also linked to his resentment of his fiancée rationality. From the second letter that Nathaniel writes to Lothar, Clara’s brother, it is obvious that he resists the kind of “philosophical response”. And Nathaniel’s reaction to Clara after reading the poem also confirms his resistance for her rational thinking. These two elements combine and push Nathaniel to his madness. Throughout the story, Nathaniel always turns anxious and aggressive at the scene where a pair of eyeballs or something relevant to eyes are in sight. As Freud mentioned in The Uncanny, “so precious an organ as the eye should be guarded by a commensurate anxiety” (140). In Nathaniel’s letter to Lothar, he explains how the bedtime story seeds the fear of losing eyes. And later his encounter with Coppelius, the old barrister, when Coppelius attempts to take Nathaniel’s eyes out, traumatizes him as a child. Losing one’s eyes is mentioned often in the text, and they are mentioned in conjunction with Nathaniel losing his sanity. When Coppola, the Italian salesman, pulls out eyeglasses, Nathaniel feels “a thousand eyes peeped...

...COMMENATRY/ ANALYSIS ON THE POEM “THE PIKE” BY TED HUGHES: The poem begins with a description of a baby pike, and we are given the impression that right from the very moment of birth this creature is in possession of some pretty chilling characteristics. “…Killers from the egg…” In the first three stanzas, the persona sets the scene and describes the voracious, ruthless nature of this fish. In these stanzas, the fish and its environment occupy the center of attention. “Pike, three inches long, perfect Pike in all parts, green tigering the gold. Killers from the egg: the malevolent aged grin. They dance on the surface among the flies. Or move, stunned by their own grandeur, Over a bed of emerald, silhouette Of submarine delicacy and horror. A hundred feet long in their world. In ponds, under the heat-struck lily pads- Gloom of their stillness: Logged on last year's black leaves, watching upwards. Or hung in an amber cavern of weeds…” Further ahead, we see that the persona begins to expand towards the predatory nature of the pike, by vividly describing it as it moves along. At first, there are three fish present, but then suddenly, there are only two. The persona tells us that the pike grows larger in its size, when one of the fish disappears. This illustrates the fact that one of the pike has eaten one of its fellow fish. Then, the fish advances onwards to the next fish, its next prey, and gulps it down too, coldly and heartlessly, without feeling...

...That fair again unsay.” Demetrius loves you fair. O happy fair! Your eyes are lodestars, and your tongue’s sweet air More tunable than lark to shepherd’s ear, When wheat is green, when hawthorn buds appear. Sickness is catching. O were favour so, Yours would I catch, fair Hermia, ere I go. My ear should catch your voice, my eye your eye, My tongue should catch your tongue’s sweet melody. The rest I’d give to be you translated. O, teach me how you look, and with what art You sway the motion of Demetrius’ heart.” (1.1.184-196) The first mistake that is made in the play soon follows this when Hermia and Lysander tell Helena about their plan to run away. Helena’s next act of jealousy is when she plots to tell Demetrius about Hermia and Lysander’s plan to run away. Just after Helena asks Hermia how she stole Demetrius’ heart, Hermia tells her that he will no longer see her face because she and Lysander are leaving. Once the two exit, Helena plots to tell Demetrius. She is delusional and thinks that if she tells him, he will somehow fall in love with her out of gratitude...

...ACADEMIC READING Becoming an Active Reader UNIVERSITY READING TASKS Reading at university is very different from any other type of reading you may have done in the past. This is so because at university you have an enormous amount of material to read in a very short space of time. In addition, the material contains vocabulary and concepts which may be unfamiliar to you. The most effective way of coping with the volume of reading and of understanding and remembering what you read is by adopting active reading strategies. These strategies involve reading selectively, thinking about what you read and making informed choices in the use of reference sources. ACTIVE READING STRATEGIES In order to increase your reading speed, comprehension and retention you can adopt the following active reading strategies: • Read with a purpose in mind • Adjust your reading speed to suit the purpose • Preview the text before close reading • Look for main ideas in each paragraph • Use prior knowledge to understand new concepts • Study new words in context • Choose suitable dictionary sources READ WITH A PURPOSE It is not always necessary to read closely everything in the textbook or other assigned reading when you are completing an assignment. Close reading of academic texts is a slow, time-consuming activity so you need to be selective and read closely only the sections which are relevant to your task. To determine which sections are relevant you need to analyse the assignment question...
