The advertisements of Chanel’s fragrance “No. 5” and Givenchy’s fragrance “ange ou demon” use different techniques to persuade different interest and age consumers purchasing their products. This perfume advertisement features Chanel’s fragrance “No. 5.” The perfume has been described "the world's most legendary fragrance" in Paris. The perfume bottle was in a square shape and was placed at the bottom right hand corner of the advertisement. The top of right side of the advertisement was the subject ‘’No. 5’’ that the Company of Chanel strongly promotes. The entire background of the advertisement was settling by dark brown wood doors combined together. The golden color surrounded every wood door’s up sides, down sides, handles, and windows. Most background colors represented golden and light brown. A mature woman who wore a black long formal dress and a pair of leather boots was standing on the left side of the advertisement. She was looking outside from inside of the window and raising two of her hands on...

...that ceased as well. The city streets were full of people bustling and hurrying about getting to their destinations. A few teenagers walked along the street. The desolate streets of one particular section of the city were strangely alive tonight. Thin, gunmetal clouds which once blocked out the night sky had now opened up, revealing a large dark blue sky and a sea of glittering stars, which shone brightly, embedded like a thousand tiny diamonds encrusted upon its surface. White string lights were hung up above on a green overpass roof. A tan banner also hung from it, and written in faded letters were "Brooklyn Coal," across it, and five lit street lamps were there as well. There was a small garden store right next to the magazine and vegetable and fruit stand. Tan baskets of...

...observation at 8:06 pm. We were all out to eat dinner where I was engaged to their conversation. Enabling myself to observe closely. The restaurant had died down from the dinner rush, leaving us one of the three people in that section Along with the outside light fading, the lighting indoors was dim, making the dining experience feel more quite and intimate. The background noise was filled with a light roar of the other group’s conversation, and a jazz station played quietly from the speakers overhead. Person A was a male around the age of 22. He was tall and thin with a short dark haircut and a brown eye. The first nonverbal observation I made of person A was the way he was dressed. He had on a blue button down shirt and a pair of dark jeans. His clothing was coordinated with a pair of brown shoes. I think he took his time to match up his all outfit because everything was on point. The verbal Expression I picked up was how he was nervous. He was careful about everything he said. He looked like he was scared he might say the wrong thing and ruin the date. He didn’t have much self confidence at that moment but the more they communicate the less nervous he become and easier to talk to. Person B was a Female around the age of 21. She was pretty tall and thin as well. She had long black hair with big golden hoops. I made the same nonverbal observation about person B as well. She was dressed in a short red dress with a really high black hill, golden wallet and golden hoops. It looked like...

...cardinal’s hat and the bloody stone beat off his chest (due to hallucinations) are represented in the work. The bloody rock is held with his right hand to his chest and a long stick is held in his left; behind the stick on the right of the composition, sits a small but sturdy lion. The cardinal’s hat is positioned to the left hanging off a twig next to the very direct and front centered protagonist. A rocky landscape surrounds St. Jerome with little shrubbery and absent life and color. The dim sky provides little to no light and the golden halo surrounding St. Jerome’s head is the only object with any highlights or reflection. The overall color palette of the piece is dingy and drab. The shadows cast by the lion and the hollowed out stone landscape provide an overall eeriness to the work. The primary color red is used quite vividly to climax the blood surrounding the rock at St.Jeromes’s chest. The bright and dramatic red is a drastic contrast to the dark rock and St. Jerome’s very pale and weathered...

...More than 350 authentic paintings that include the depiction of a great variety subjects, from mythological to historical to religious, have been identified to date as his. Powerful religious and political figures were impressed with his masterful artistic skills. But even more so, these luminaries were attracted to his innovative ability to express religious ideas and implant political meanings into his work that accorded with their ideals. His virtuosity allowed him to paint for the likes of high-ranking men such as popes, bishops and papal legates (cardinals), who actively advanced his career and status and allowed him great success. Praised by Ludovico Carracci as “a prodigy of nature” was Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, who is better known as (Il) Guercino. Guercino’s Samson Captured by the Philistines, 1619, exemplifies the nature of art during the Baroque period because of its ability to engage the viewer both physically and emotionally. One of Italian art's great draftsmen, a largely self-taught artist, Giovanni Francesco Barbieri was born in the town of Cento in Emilia-Romagna (Italy) in 1591. He was known by his nickname, Il Guercino (the Squinter), because of a childhood accident that made him cross-eyed. As a painter Guercino worked in different styles during his long and successful career. Earlier in his career, he combined several disparate influences of Carravaggio, the Carracci who so expertly accomplished the use of chiaroscuro and great 16th-century Venetian...

...“Dark Girls” is a documentary produced by Bill Duke, and Channsin Berry in 2011 in the U.S, and remote countries such as Ghana, Senegal, and South Africa (Duke& Berry, 2011). Duke got the idea for “Dark girls” when an incident occurred with one of his friend’s 10-year old daughter. “In the incident, the 10-year old young girl was in tears because a classmate didn’t care for her chocolate skin tone, and the worst of all, she was called a monkey” (Carter, 2011). After that particular incident, the project for “Dark girls” began. In the documentary, Duke& Berry wanted to explore the deep biased attitudes of skin color, predominantly dark skinned women that are within, and outside of the American culture. Furthermore, they hoped to deliver messages...

...eagle, identification between male and female can be difficult. Immature bald eagles can be even more difficult to identify as they do not have the distinct white head that the adult eagles do. Another factor that can make identification of young eagles challenging in the area of observation is the similarities to the Golden Eagle that, while not as prevalent, also reside in the biome. (Clark, 1983). Mature Adults Mature adult bald eagles have distinct white plumage on their head and tail. The bill, legs and feet are bright yellow while the body and wings are dark brown. Female bald eagles are larger than males, with wider wingspans of 6 ½ to 7 feet versus 6 to 6 ½ feet in males and weigh 10-14 pounds versus 8-10 pounds in males. (Seattle Audubon Society, n.d.). Immature Bald Eagles Immature bald eagles plumage are uniformly medium to dark brown. The bill has not yet turned yellow and is black in color. When observing the underside, the wings have diagonal white lines as well as a white spot where the body and wings meet. The maturation process from immature characteristics to adult characteristics is typically between 4-6 years. (Clark, 1983). Golden Eagles While not as prevalent in the...

...It was just a normal Tuesday. Dad had dropped me off after our usual stop at Donuts & More. Buffy greeted us at the door, where I said my goodbye. They boys wanted to watch E.T.. Again. So, as usual, I went with Buffy to do laundry in her dark, dingy, musty smelling basement. Buffy was my babysitter, and I always loved going over to her house. There was always something to do, and even when there wasn’t she still managed to find something. We were never bored. There was, however, part of going to her house that I always dreaded. The dog. I don’t remember what his name was, but he was a full grown golden retriever, and I hated every second I spent near him. He was the devil in dog form, except I was the only one who could see it....

...Brandon and my Kaylah kept nudging me. “Stop!” I demanded, clearly irritated by them. All of a sudden, the ear-splitting music paused. Still keeping his eyes on the road, he asked us, “Do you kids want to stop to see the Golden Gate Bridge?” “Yeah, we should go. I know a perfect place where the view is stunning!” my mom added, obviously wanting to go. “I don’t know,” Kaylah and Brandon said in unison. I looked to them, but I knew neither of them really wanted to go. I clearly understood their decisions and I agree with them. We all have had a long, exhausting day. Seriously, Kaylah was literally half asleep!...

...India) Poems. Evidence does indicate that the poet W.B. Yeats had a hand in editing and publishing it! GITANJALI 1 Thou hast made me endless, such is thy pleasure. This frail vessel thou emptiest again and again, and fillest it ever with fresh life. This little flute of a reed thou hast carried over hills and dales, and hast breathed through it melodies eternally new. At the immortal touch of thy hands my little heart loses its limits in joy and gives birth to utterance ineffable. Thy infinite gifts come to me only on these very small hands of mine. Ages pass, and still thou pourest, and still there is room to fill. 2 When thou commandest me to sing it seems that my heart would break with pride; and I look to thy face, and tears come to my eyes. All that is harsh and dissonant in my life melts into one sweet harmony---and my adoration spreads wings like a glad bird on its flight across the sea. I know thou takest pleasure in my singing. I know that only as a singer I come before thy presence. I touch by the edge of the far-spreading wing of my song thy feet which I could never aspire to reach. Drunk with the joy of singing I forget myself and call thee friend who art my lord. Page 1 3 I know not how thou singest, my master! I ever listen in silent amazement. The light of thy music illumines the world. The life breath of thy music runs...

...derailed. Finally, he attempts to sacrifice his life for Angela and the world and, because of this, is redeemed. This movie is chock full of scary and creepy looking demons and cold half demons (“half breeds”). It is a horror movie in every sense, but is also a supernatural film. The editing in this film was appropriate to the story that was being told. The types of editing techniques used were specific to the horror genre. There are a few examples that show what type of editing was used. Match cuts, eye-line match cut, and fast cutting are just a few editing techniques that were used in this film. They contribute to the overall feeling of the film. For example, eye-line match cut was used a few times which increase the suspense of the movie. Eye line match cut was used at the beginning of the film to introduce the dagger and the man who found it. Suspense was enhanced because the revealing of the dagger was not constantly shown and the emotions of the man were not constantly shown as well. There was anticipation that begged the question, “what’s he going to find?” and “what is his response?” Eye-line match cut was also used in one of the largest action sequences in the film...

...In the dark ages of the future, there lived Equality 7-2521. Equality, the main character in Anthem, was a 21-year-old man and was six feet tall. It was a burden for a man to become six feet tall because it was rare for someone’s bones to grow as long as his. Having that burden was considered evil. Equality had done many evil deeds. He was born with a curse, unlike other men. Men were wise in the eyes of Equality, but he saw himself differently. Nevertheless, all men were under a law of being one. Things had been that way since the Great Rebirth. Equality 7-2521 wished to be like the other men around him. He was looked upon differently because of the sins that he committed. Not only did other people see him that way, but he saw himself from mankind also. One main event that Equality disliked was his years at the Home of the Students. He was there from the ages 5 to 15. He disliked it because he did not enjoy learning. It was not because learning was too hard for...

...Slade and Mrs. Grace Ansley appear to be old friends, returning to a familiar place to enjoy past times. A deeper look exposes hidden truths about each woman. Wharton uses symbolism in “Roman Fever” to imply the existence of the dark secrets that come between Mrs. Ansley and Mrs. Slade. In life, friendship is known to have its twist and turns, loops and pulls. The art of knitting is used to display the intertwining lives of Mrs. Ansley and Mrs. Slade. “Mrs. Ansley…had reached a delicate part in her knitting. “One, two, three-slip two…” (Whaton 118). Knitting is a precious, delicate, yet tedious task; although it is very familiar to her she must still concentrate and work at it because the wrong “slip” could cause the entire work to be ruined (much like friendships). On the surface, Mrs. Ansley seems to be the weaker, meeker friend but slight clues denote that there is more to her. “Half guiltily she drew from her handsomely mounted black hand-bag a twist of crimson silk run through by two fine knitting needles” (114). Her actions are timid though symbolically she is strong. The color black is significant with death, darkness, and/or ill will. Crimson is equivalent to red which means passion, aggression, love, and/or lust. Ultimately, Mrs. Ansley’s dark, passionate, lustful insides suggest she is not as mild mannered as she is putting off. Wharton also uses the afternoon light, an archetypal symbol, as a reference to the passing of time, both literally and figuratively. The...

...Loud crashes and booms rang all about them, a white fire engulfed them, and still they danced. Sparks began to fly outward spinning around them. The sparks became chaos and they began to chase each other in the most frightening manner. The sparks were alive also; they collided into one another nearly splitting the very fabric of being. If one were to look upon this sight it would have looked as if the only that existed was this fire. Light and Sound looked about themselves in fascination as they danced, the sparks could no longer be called sparks, for they were taking on bodily forms such as Light and Sound. A long arm loomed suddenly at them and a body of the most exquisite beauty followed. The complexion of this body was as pale as our moon, and deathly beautiful. With such beauty and grace she leapt forth to Light and Sound and knelt upon her dainty knees. Light and Sound broke apart and stared with wonder at the beauty before them. They wondered was it them that had created such an angelic being. She smiled up at them and declared herself their daughter that she sprang forth from their joy and was now here to be loyal and true to them. Light and Sound knelt beside their daughter and embraced her. All the while the sparks were still flying As they knelt beside their first...

...Ayn Rand’s Anthem takes place in a society that discourages individual thoughts and actions. The author herself was living in Europe as World War II was breaking out. Most of the people in Europe then were thought of as a whole, not as individuals. Ayn Rand felt as if she were being encouraged not to think individually, and wrote Anthem to warn people about the dangers of not being themselves. The characters in the novel are kept ignorant about any individual ideas by the rulers of their society, the Council. This prevents the people from asking questions and keeping them in the Council’s pocket. They are not allowed to say the word ‘I’, instead using the collective term ‘we’. They make their people repeat the same phrase over and over again...
