...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”.

The lid takes up less space than a regular lid would usually take, and the mediocre size and shape of the box allow it to be stored on any shelf because it isn't too big. Slide 3 - The brand name of the Product is Nike and it signed by the famous footballer Lionel Messi. The ingredients that I chose to use inside of the packaging are sponges that I have decorated in green and orange on the bottom of the package as well as the top of the surrounding the egg, bubble wrap that is near the middle surrounding the egg as well as cotton balls directly beneath the egg also covered in green and orange. The unique features of the packaging are an easy to use lid (just open from one side) as well as a flap on the inside of the lid for the Messi Trading Card. I decided to use the colours green and orange in the packaging because first and foremost, Green represents the colour of the field that the stars plays on, and it represents what he does and orange represents his team colour. Furthermore, Green because it represents how much Messi has grown throughout his career and because it is associated with generosity and good luck and throughout his Career Messi has donated to...

...Others also believe that freedom, relationships, and fulfillment play a role in the American dream. Critics often suggest that not everyone has the same opportunities of being able to “live the dream” because of class, race, religion, and ethnicity. In the story, The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald symbolizes the hope and opportunity that can be found in the new land, what comes to be known as the American Dream in the quote, “a fresh, green breast of the new world(Chapter 9).” The color green symbolizes the hope and opportunity that can be found in the new land, what comes to be known as the American Dream. An example of a metaphor in the story is Gatsby’s house. This image serves as a key symbol of aspiration, reflecting on both Gatsby's success as an American self-made man and the mirage of an identity he has created to win Daisy's love. Gatsby follows his American Dream as he buys the house to be across the bay from Daisy, and has parties to gain wide-spread recognition in order to impress her. Yet, Owl Eyes compares Gatsby's mansion to a house of cards, muttering "that if one brick was removed the whole library was liable to collapse(Chapter 3)." Ultimately, the inevitable collapse occurs, as Gatsby loses Daisy and dies absolutely friendless, prompting Nick to refer to Gatsby's mansion...

In most cases, critique has been viewed as the acts of analyzing documents, literary work or pictures with an aim of making judgments that are negative and trying to find some faults in the analysis.

...Sarah Shulman What Dreams May Come The different colors worn and portrayed in What Dreams May Come all have specific meanings. Red, blue, violet, and black make up the different moods and personalities of each character. The patterns that each color portrays, makes each character their unique and own self. The color of Annie, one of the main characters is red. Throughout the film, Annie was changing. She was going through many intense situations, which made her change. When Annie is herself, acting who she really is, her happy self, she is wearing red. For example, the first scene in the film was Annie on a boat, looking happy and content. She was in white, but the sail was red. When she is lying with Chris in the field she is wearing red. The viewer can feel their love and that they are happy. But once Annie’s children died, she never wears red again. On the other hand, the color blue represents Annie’s husband, Chris. Chris was happy a lot of the time. The viewer can recognize his content vibes while he was with Annie or the children. When Chris and Annie were lying in the field together, while Annie was wearing red, Chris was wearing blue. They were happy, in love, and peaceful. The purposes of them wearing “their colors” were to back up the fact that this is who they truly are. The third color that is portrayed in the film is violet. This color represents people, situations and other things that are going through transitions. Take the tragic......

...Color Psychology Paper Research Question: How does color affect one’s mood? Review of Literature: Colors may just seem simple and unimportant, but they affect our daily lives more than we may know. If someone is feeling angry, it could just be because they’re angry, or it could be perhaps that they are surrounded by or looking at the color red. That’s right! People’s moods can change just because they are looking at different colors! There are many theories on how just a simple color can change one’s whole mood. According to Johnson (2007), color does affect mood by producing certain chemicals and stimulating different feelings such as hunger. For example, blue can make one feel calm because it releases calming chemicals, and red can make one hungry because it is an appetite stimulant. Yellow can make one feel irritated, and it is a fact that people lose their temper most in yellow rooms. However, pink is tranquilizing and can make one feel weak. In conclusion, Johnson says that depending on the color, one’s body can do things (like producing chemicals) that cause a certain emotional reaction (mad, sad, etc.). Another idea, by Smith (2007), is that the effect color produces is based on what one’s body does in response. For example, yellow is mentally stimulating, and activates memory, whereas red increases confidence. Also, brown can make a person feel orderly and stable, while a dark blue can make one feel sad. Therefore, Smith says that different colors do in fact......

...Physical Security The devices are highlighted in red and placed in a green box represent the DMZ which is needed to establish secure email and web ingress traffic. The green box around the red devices represents the physical security of the devices in the DMZ. The devices that are highlighted blue and placed in the yellow box represents the devices on the network that controls egress traffic. The yellow box represent the physical security for those devices. Filtering Schema The Ingress traffic will flow through the router where its filter through the firewall then Proxy Server. After its filter by the Proxy Server it will flow to the Web and Email Servers where it makes contact with the switch-first network device. Anti-virus, malware, and intrusion detection software will be implemented to discover any harmful traffic that may have been missed by the firewall or was a product of an end-user inadvertently downloading malicious malware onto the network. It’s critical to close all unused ports on the network to reduce the risk of attack. There will be a policy in place that updates patches for all VPN and remote-access end-users to ensure that the devices security corresponds with the rest of the network. A layered approach would be to also implement account threshold, attempts, and reset authentication policies. The Diagram below is an example of what devices would be in a DMZ and the position that the Ingress traffic would flow to in order to maintain security...

...I don’t know if this rhetoric will fit to be a good prose, Neither am I sure if it will be laden with any literary devices. Not to talk about poetic quality to adorn it like thorns on a rose; But I pray the questions inherent provokes your thought And set your mind and heart on a soul searching spree. It might even help your spirit soar and set your conscience free. But firstly, show me two things and let’s proceed; a sin and a sinner. And the difference between a righteous and a self-righteous spinner. Yes, I binge drink and you occasionally gulp in a couple of spirits. I wear condoms and aid in abortions while you literally kill people. Just like my liking for the color green and you, purple! You also point fingers at me for smoking while you safely harbor in lust; Avariciousness is what you wake up to yet you call me a thief; You spit on my existence and what I stand for, like a dustbin; While calling me names because I don’t indulge in your kind of sin; You call me a sinner while you live your illusive life as a saint. Forgetting that you cannot see through any object with a taint. How about removing the log in your eyes first – objectivity. Before proceeding to quenching my thirst – positivity. You sex two or more people yet call me a prostitute – subjectivity. We both engage in different and varied degrees of vices – relativity. So just allow your good self to live and let’s live – adaptivity. I want to be free; devoid of your labeling......

...Bavarian-style village of Leavenworth. Doug’s paintings have been acknowledged for numerous awards in Northwest art shows that he attends, including the former Arts for the Parks competition, held annually in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Collectors often remark that his paintings are peaceful and serene; they exhibit a depth that “makes you feel like you can escape into the painting.” In this painting, there are pink carnations, with green stems and are hanging in the air or are baseless. The pink color of the flowers is bright while the foreground color is a subdued brown. The background color ranges from a smudgy yellow to a light green. The shape of the painting is asymmetrical, and the texture of the flowers, foreground, and background is rough. There is a bunch of pink carnations with green stems. The landscape of the painting is indoors because there is no source of light, and the bunch has been suspended in the air. The color of the background is light green with some elements of yellow, and it creates an illusion of a light-source. The orange and green colors are very intense. The colors of the carnations contrast with the subdued brown color that is in the foreground and is acting as a "base" to the carnations. The lines of the painting are well defined. Although the flowers are asymmetrical, the artist has tried to create an element of balance by placing them almost at the middle of the painting, and through the mixing of intense and dark colors....
