...“The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst is about William Armstrong, also known as Doodle, who had a physical and mental condition. When he was born William’s brother was six years old, and when William died his brother was thirteen. The story is called “The Scarlet Ibis” because the family saw a bird dying in their backyard which was far away from its native land, and William died away from his home. Mr. Hurst was born in North Carolina at a farm by the sea. He studied singing and in Italy and he became a banker. During his thirty four years as a banker he also published a few short stories including “The Scarlet Ibis”. I personally did not like how the story went but I do like how Mr. Hurst wrote it. I also like how he referred the scarlet ibis...

...that. She thinks that doodling can have a profound impact on the why that we process information and the way that we deal with problems. The reasons why doodling is not accepted in today’s society: * No flattering definition. * Powerful cultural norm against doodling. * Press reinforce this norm by using ‘caught’, ‘found out’. * Psychological aversion against doodling, because Freud told us all that you can analyse people’s psyches based on their doodles. (Not accurate) Sunni Brown thinks our society is blinded to the value of visual communication because our culture is to focused on verbal communication. This believe should be burst by telling the truth about doodling. Doodling is an incredible powerful tool and we need to relearn this. This is Sunni’s new definition of doodling: “To make spontaneous marks to help yourself think”. And doodling should be used in classrooms, boardrooms or even the war room. And this is why she thinks this should be the definition: * People who doodle when exposed to verbal information retain more of that information than their non-doodling counterparts. Doodling stops you from losing focus. * Doodling has a profound effect on creative problem solving and deep information processing. Because people have four ways of in taking information: visual, auditory, reading/writing and kinaesthetic. When you really want to learn something, two of those four should be engaged or one of those coupled with an emotional experience...

...How Representation of James Bond characters has changed since October 5th 1962 ‘007 licenced to kill, HM Secret Service agent’ ‘The description or portrayal of someone or something in a particular way.’ (Wikipedia descriptions) The above description defines the word ‘representation’ in a way in which can be understood by anyone. The term has a whole new level of meanings that would take more than twelve words to describe and that which I plan to go into in-depth detail about. This case study will map out why the term ‘representation’ is so prominent in the ongoing fifty-year old thriller sequel, James Bond, how influential it can be on a persons opinion, and the way in which it shapes a whole film. Representation may or may not have shaped not only the way we see the characters but the way in which we look at features after the film has been made, for example, do we view stockbrokers on Wall Street the same now as we did before the Oscar winning film ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ was produced? Or do we assume that every secret agent is just like James Bond? Michael Wilson, producer of Skyfall and screenwriter of many of the 007 films, says: ‘the film character of James Bond is always dependent on the actor who plays him and the time at which the film is made because Bond always lives in the contemporary time the films are made.’ The representation of characters in films is vital to how we view a film and whether we take an instant like or dislike to the character....

...Star ... JetStar Bond ... James Bond. Anything sounds cool when you say it like Sean Connery. Right? For example, say this out loud in a semi-Scottish accent, "Cards ... Playing Cards." It's even cooler when you see James Bond actually playing with cards. It's as if Bond confirms something we all know. Pasteboards are hip and in style. And while Q hasn't invented anything subversive with fifty-two pieces of paper and two jokers, we can only continue to hope. For now though, let's just relish in the fact that James Bond has featured several different types of cards throughout the illustrious franchise. The aim of this piece isn't to catalog every deck the MI6 agent has ever played with. While that would make for a wonderful article, I'd like to discuss one deck in particular that was supposedly seen in the 1964 box-office smash hit GOLDFINGER. Before your read any further though, close your eyes and think of all the types of decks used in the academy award winning Bond flick. For those of you who immediately conjure up the thought of a cheating Auric Goldfinger (Gert Fröbe) and his unaware opponent playing a game of Gin using a red deck of Aristocrat 727 Banknote playing cards poolside in Miami at the Fontainebleau Hotel, then you have a great memory! However, the cards in question are not the famous High Finished Aristocrats. What? There's another deck in this movie? Apparently. A deck of cards is supposedly shown in a scene on a Lockheed JetStar airplane that's piloted...

...Dr. Seuss Autobiography The date was March 2nd, 1904. And the frost was finally falling off the trees when I came into the world in Springfield, Massachusetts. Growing up in my family was always a fun and imaginative experience for me. Whenever my family did something new, or went on a trip, I loved to doodle the things I saw, or what I thought I could've seen. My imagination was so large as a child, and still is to this day, but I used to love to make up silly stories and tell them to my parents, I now wonder if they could’ve ever made since of them. When I was older and a tad more mature to better understand the world around me, this fancy thing called the 18th amendment rolled around in 1919, which meant that people could no longer sell alcohol. But the part that mattered to me was that my family's brewery shop was shut down and we no longer could make money from it. But shortly after that, I went off to college and became an independent man. I attended a college called Dartmouth college in 1921 but years to come, I transferred to Oxford college. My goal then was to become an English professor, but after graduating and returning to the US I was still illustrating and I successfully published my first cartoon. Just months after returning to the US and publishing my first cartoon, I...

...9-502-040 OCTOBER 5, 2001 DOUGLAS B. HOLT Mountain Dew: Selecting New Creative Standing at the front of a PepsiCo conference room, Bill Bruce gestured enthusiastically, pointing to the sketches at his side. Bruce, a copywriter and Executive Creative Director, headed up the creative team on the Mountain Dew account for PepsiCo’s advertising agency, BBDO New York. In fact, it was Bruce who devised the famous “Do the Dew” campaign that had catapulted Mountain Dew to the number three position in its category. With his partner, art director Doris Cassar, Bruce had developed ten new creative concepts for Mountain Dew’s 2000 advertising to present to PepsiCo management. Gathered in the room to support Bruce and Cassar were BBDO senior executives Jeff Mordos (Chief Operating Officer), Cathy Israelevitz (Senior Account Director), and Ted Sann (Chief Creative Officer). Each of the three executives had over a decade of experience working on Mountain Dew. Representing PepsiCo were Scott Moffitt (Marketing Director, Mountain Dew), Dawn Hudson (Chief Marketing Officer, and a former senior ad agency executive), and Gary Rodkin (Chief Executive Officer, Pepsi Cola North America). Scott Moffitt scribbled notes as he listened to Bruce speak. Moffitt and the brand managers under him were charged with day-to-day oversight of Mountain Dew marketing. These responsibilities included brand strategy, consumer and sales promotions, packaging, line extensions, product changes, and sponsorships....

...the corporations of the world. In fact, the Santa Claus we know today was shaped by the multi-billion dollar corporation, Coca-Cola (Staff, 2012). As we all know, when Dr. Seuss wrote his books, he most often included a theme, or ‘moral of the story’ as a guide for young children to help them learn important values. In his work, “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas”, Dr. Seuss openly protested the commercialization of Christmas. Seuss’s work is very obviously Marxist-based, as it spoke clearly on issues of discrimination, ostracism and misplaced values. Marxism is different than ‘other progressive movements because Marxists always struggle to overcome the manifold forms of domination and exploitation in and through the self-emancipation of the working class’ (Marxists.org). Dr. Seuss could be interpreted as protesting against this exploitation of the public by the capitalists and corporations, by creating a work that states that ““Maybe Christmas,” he thought, “doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas…perhaps…means a little bit more!”” (Geisel, 1957). Seuss, it seems, was of the opinion that the version of Christmas we know now, based on giving and receiving expensive purchases, was little more than an incredibly clever marketing gimmick by major corporations, which is essentially the upper class. In his work, Dr. Seuss outlined the difference between the upper class (the Whos) and the lower class (the Grinch). I think that Seuss’s characterization of the Grinch and the Whos is more...

...Anthonee Butler Essay 1, Draft 1 9/25/2013 I was exposed to reading at a young age. My earliest reading memory was my mother reading Dr. Seuss books to me when I was four or five. I used to enjoy seeing the pictures in the books more then I liked being read too. I also use to enjoy watching the characters in the books on television. As a kid I was in love with talking animals. I thought that was the coolest thing in the world. The Arthur series was a big influence growing up. I remember one Christmas I got a stack of Arthur books and I was the happiest kid in the world. That whole week my mother would help me read the books and then I would watch the show on television right after. As I grew older, I started to enjoy reading horror books. I also liked horror films and I think that influenced what I liked to read. I really liked the Goosebumps series and could read them all day. I prefer to read about things that interest me. It’s hard for me to read something that doesn’t have my interest. In high school, I rarely read about something that interested me. At a young age, my grandmother would tell me stories about how she grew up in the south and how different the country was as a kid. She would tell me about how segregated it was and all about the civil rights movement and how it was a big part of her childhood. Hearing these stories that my grandmother would tell me made me want to learn more about the civil rights era in the south. A lot of things influenced me to read...

...VCDD 290 Unit 1: Forms of Art Discussion Board Lisa McAlpine Art, much like beauty, is in the eyes of the beholder. Whether or not a piece may be considered “art” depends on how the viewer interprets the piece. For example, many do not find architecture or illustration to be “art”, because they are not traditional forms of art. They are perhaps the most unorthodox forms of art available. However, some find nontraditional forms of art more appealing due to the nonconventional nature of such pieces. Architecture is the most controversial art form, because many see it more as a science than an art form. However, there is a certain viewpoint that makes architecture artistic. Architecture is a visual art in the form of building, an art form that is larger than life, larger than the biggest sculpture. Architecture is not only art, but art that is not only visually appealing, but also has a useful purpose, unlike many other forms of art (ArchiteacherTM – Architecture and Aesthetics, 2002). There are a few timeless architectural pieces that have inspired the public for generations, and will continue for lifetimes to come. One such architectural masterpiece is the Roman Pantheon. The Roman Pantheon was constructed as a temple to the Romanian pagan gods, such as Diana (goddess of the Moon) and Apollo (God of the Sun) (Edkins, 1999). Though no one is completely sure when the Pantheon was built, brick stamps upon the side of the building suggest that the Pantheon was built between...
