...most importantly our feelings on topics. How can I tell you what I feel for you and Beautiful eyes,Beautiful face written by Nicholas Gordon both share their feelings about their crush. Both poems use their own distinct tone to help develop the theme, poetic devices to help the reader understand the narrator’s feelings and rhyme scheme. Gordon uses a very similar tone in both of the poems to help with developing the theme. Two lines from the poem, How can I tell you what I feel for you that help establish the tone is “You won't believe it! Better I stay mute” and “And yet I wish to tell you of my love”. The tone used in that poem is shy, the narrator is scared to tell their crush how they feel for them. The tone helps develop the theme, because even though the narrator loves this person to death, he is still scared and shy to tell the person that they love them. Similarly, in the poem, Beautiful eyes,Beautiful the...

...Definition Essay Being truly beautiful is not just what you look like; true beauty lies in the way people act and think, rather than the way they look. True beauty cannot only be found in people, but also in places. Beauty is a very broad term. People as well as places can be beautiful. Everyone is unique in his or her own way, and I for one believe that that is simply beautiful. Beauty is defined by a combination of qualities present in a person that pleases aesthetic senses or brings about deep satisfaction. True beauty is an amazing characteristic to have. Unfortunately, the definition of true beauty can sometimes be shaken and distorted by society. Society often deems celebrities as perfect and beautiful. Society’s expectations of beauty are all wrong. In society’s eyes, you are only beautiful if you have an amazing body and your hair and makeup always look perfect, but they have it all wrong. Beauty does not have to mean the outside appearance. True beauty is what is on the inside. For instance, someone who is genuine, friendly, and giving can be very beautiful even if she or he does not have the perfect body. Appearance is only part of the definition of beauty. For example, Taylor Swift is an all around beautiful celebrity. On the other hand, Kim Kardashian does not really fit the beautiful term. This is because Taylor is beautiful on the inside and outside while Kim Kardashian was only made famous because of her appearance and wrong doings, not her talents or personality...

...The Psychology In A Beautiful Mind ________________________________________ The psychology in A Beautiful Mind (the movie) provides a valuable lesson for the practice of self awareness by ordinary people. Artistically differing from the actual events, it is a film, which convincingly uses the visual medium to portray stress and mental illness within one person's mind. The storyline supplants auditory symptoms with visual delusions to narrate the story of the paranoid schizophrenia developed by John Forbes Nash, a Nobel Laureate in Economics. It was an illness, which had been intensified by the anxiety felt by Nash, about the pain suffered by his wife and friends due to his mental condition. Even as he took medication to suppress the symptoms, Nash is shown returning to normal life by becoming self aware. The visually presented psychological symptoms in the movie effectively convey the barriers to distinguishing subconscious patterns within the mind. Click Here To Listen/Download This Page As An MP3 Podcast Psychology In A Beautiful Mind – Competition & Conflict The primary problem for Nash was his inability to distinguish between reality and his delusions. Even normal people fail to distinguish the concrete emotional changes in their viewpoints during the course of an average day. You may be fuming with resentment one moment and joyful, the next. These hidden shifts in moods and attitudes have a clear cause. They happen, because the control of your mind shifts...

...Films such as Schindler’s List and The Pianist take a serious historical approach to the Holocaust, while films like Life is Beautiful take a different approach to it. It is the combination of romance, comedy, and tragedy that triggered many viewers into criticizing Life is beautiful as being oblivious to the Holocaust’s reality, therefore making it inappropriate. However, A filmmaker is not a historian, and is not responsible for Depicting the holocaust as accurate as possible, the film does in fact present the dichotomy of life before and after the holocaust, without leaving out the fact that thousands of people were murdered and battered in the duration of the holocaust. it is the honest presentation of human relations, the main focus between the love of a father and son and the artistic form presented in the film that make the film appropriate. It’s appropriate because filmamkers who portray the holocaust are not obligated to depict the horrors of the events. Holocaust filmmakers are not necessaraly historians who seek to portray historic events as they actually happen. It IS appropriate because the film presents, the dicotamy of Life before the holocaust and after. It is apporpiate becausebinigni was never oblivious to the holocaust in his film, because there are scenes that actually show the raw heartlessness of the holocaust. “Life is Beautiful” is a movie about the holocaust famous for the perspective the director chose to portray it. The movie isn’t about the brutality...

... A man is different from a beast only for his brain that makes him learn to differentiate between good and evil. Physical beauty is an added quality. Life is enlightened for brains and not for beauty. A beautiful appearance with dull brains is of no use. On the other hand, a bugle appearance having a powerful brain can produce something for human welfare. So, brains have got prominence over beauty. Beauty and brains are two vital factors foe humans. Someone would prefer having beautiful and good looking appearance and feel they are very lucky. On the other hand, someone would prefer having brains. I would prefer having brains than beauty. Beauty is a comparative idea. Someone may be exceptionally beautiful wouldn’t last for life-time. One’s physical beauty can easily be abated. So the stability of physical attraction is not getting guarantee for life-time. If a beautiful women or a handsome man loses physical attraction, she or he would fail getting response from other people. It is sometimes said that brain or talent is god-gifted thing. If it is such a thing, it requires nourishment properly. If one’s brain is not is not used, he or she is surely to be a worthless creature.

A man of brains can easily win the heart of common people through his invaluable services to the mankind. It is...

...In The Odyssey and The Siren Song, both Homer and Margaret Atwood depict women as beautiful yet manipulative creatures. The Sirens are mythical beings that are half human half bird whom are defined as dangerous yet beautiful creatures that no man could resist, except for Odysseus. Odysseus and his men approach the island of the Sirens, and Odysseus, as instructed by Circe, plugs his men's ears with beeswax and has them bind him to the mast of the ship. Although Homer’s The Odyssey connotes the Sirens as vicious and eerie, Margaret Atwood’s Siren Song depicts the creatures as mysterious yet beautiful creatures, which is conveyed through each author’s use of figurative language and diction. In The Odyssey, the Sirens are characterized as irresistible yet evil creatures. No man can resist them, except for Odysseus. He was able to resist the temptation by tying himself down and putting beeswax in his shipmates’ ears, so that they can avoid the women as well. Homer proves how inevitable the Sirens voices are by...

...How do you want to die? “Do Not Go Gentle Into The Night” and “When You Are Old” are both beautiful poems about death. Even though they are both about death they are different because they tell us different ways to deal with death. Whether to fight against against death because someone doesn't want to see you go or to remember your life before death, remembering everyone you loved and how beautiful it was. These poems are the same but they are also very different. “Do Not Go Gentle Into The Night” is a son talking to his father while his father is on his death bed. He tells him to rage rage against the dying of the light, he is telling him to fight fight against death. He explains to his father how different men decide to die. Good men die thinking about how their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay. Wild men will grieve their death before they die and grave men will see a blinding sight. He goes on to beg his father to fight against death, he tells him that he prays that he will fight against death. He doesn't want his father to die so he is begging him to fight against death. This poem is all about fighting against death....

...temples lie Open unto the fields, and to the sky, All bright and glittering in the smokeless air. Never did the sun more beautifully steep In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill; 10 Ne’er saw I, never felt a calm so deep! The river glideth at his own sweet will: Dear God! the very houses seem asleep; And all that mighty heart is lying still! Earth has not anything to show more fair: * While crossing over the Westminster Bridge, the speaker makes a bold statement: he has found the most beautiful scene on the planet. * Of course, though, he's exaggerating. He really means something like, "At this particular moment, I can't imagine anywhere being more beautiful than the place I'm standing." It's almost more a reflection of his mood than of the outside world. Dull would he be of soul who could pass by A sight so touching in its majesty: * He says that anyone who didn't stop, who just passed by with a glance, would be "dull...of soul." * The person who could just pass by has been jaded and worn down by experience to the point of dullness. He's also boring, which is another meaning of the word "dull." * The sight from the bridge is "touching in its majesty," an intriguing phrase that suggests both intimacy and grandeur. "Touching" scenes are often small and intimate, like a kid giving flowers to his sick grandmother. "Majestic" scenes are often large and public, like a snow-covered mountain or a king entering a throne room. The view from Westminster...

...Women are beautiful By Maria Batrakova Group 21 D Free and beautiful, that was how one of the greatest innovators of photography, Garry Winogrand, pictured women. (Here you can see a photo of him: http://imgur.com/AjnXCe6) Due to Art Blart (Art Blart, 2011) he was considered as one of the most distinguished photographers of the twenties-century in America. Winogrand's amazing exhibition includes 85 spontaneous photographs taken between 1960 and 1975 in and around New-York city. (Series of his photographs provided with the following links: http://imgur.com/jNApIzk, http://imgur.com/fY51U1d, http://imgur.com/aTd0ImL, http://imgur.com/R1Jd7J7, http://imgur.com/K1cJdwO, http://imgur.com/MNQWicg) During the 60's the attitude to women totally changed. Inner and outer freedom were explicit, in some ways, sexually explicit. “Prince of the streets” depicted this social transformation better that someone else. Lola Garrido called famous photographer “the maestro of the moment”: “In short, Winogrand catches with his camera every detail by composing and giving natural meaning to the representation.” (Garrido, 2014). But the gifted photograther found the way in which beautiful creatures express their sexuality through their gestures, hairstyles, clothes and some other interesting features, he avoided naked pictures. Richard Woodward writes in his article the following: “Winogrand didn't dress these women in tight sweaters or pant suits, or apply their hair and make-up. Their clothing...

The excerpts from each text that best show this central idea are “Letter One” from Letters to a Young Poet, and the chapters “Hangman” and “Solarium” from Black Swan Green. The chapters “Hangman” and “Solarium” are about a 13 year old boy named Jason Taylor who lives in England. “Hangman” is about his struggles with his stutter which he nicknames “Hangman.” “Solarium” is about him submitting poems to a local magazine and going to visit the “vicar” to discuss...

...The Beautiful and Brutal Beauty and Brutality can co-exist, and this is something that is very present in The Book Thief. Imagery is used to convey the beauty and brutality. Zuzak uses sight, touch, and sound most often to show what is happening, and help make the beauty and brutality visible. Everything has beauty and brutality, and this is portrayed many times throughout the book. Beauty and Brutality is shown to co-exist when bombings would happen, Hans slapped Liesel, and the bombing of Himmel street happened. Beauty and Brutality was very prominent during some of the bombings that happened. Michael was a character and he was trying to get his mother to a bomb shelter. He cried to Rosa, Liesel’s step mother, “‘Tell me, Rosa, how can she sit there ready to die while I still want to live?’ The blood thickened. ‘Why do I want to live? I shouldn’t want to, but I do.’ (Zusak 487). He was trying everything to get her to move. He had a desire for life, something his mother lacked. Zuzak was using imagery, by hearing his voice, seeing his mother, and trying to pull her to the shelter. Even though this was brutal, beautiful moments were still happening. On Page 488, we learn of the event of the bomb shelter. “The night was long with bombs and reading. Her mouth was drying, but the book thief worked through fifty-four pages. The majority of children slept and didn’t hear the sirens of renewed safety. (Zusak 488)” In the midst of chaos, there was beauty in the...

...to feel that this egg is you…held by another persons’ hand. Be careful please, it’s the only visual aid I have tonight. What do you feel? Tonight as we are gathered together like sheep upon a smooth shelter, please allow this humble speaker to illustrate the brokenness that tainted our hearts and minds with fear, discontentment and loneliness. The brokenness that gives me hesitation with my speech…the brokenness that makes you lose your interest… The brokenness that gives us all rejections… I am not to discuss on how to bring them back into pieces. But at least to inspire us to live a life of meaning despite the brokenness of the world… We were at first created whole and intact. A young fetus in the mother’s womb was at first innocent and unbroken. Not until, the very first pain from bumping and shaking inflicted its innocence. It started to break him forever. The very day he was deprived of the umbilical chord, which develops him, his brokenness grows on. That very day, he cried out for help. The weather was peculiar…the sounds were different…the air in his nostrils was his first time. And from that day onwards, his innocence was slowly replaced by experiences. These experiences are breaking him everyday of his life. Everyone in the world is broken. All of us in this room are broken. Every time we are hurt, we are broken. A drunken husband shouted to his wife. “Bullshit. I told you I was just drinking with...

... This poem is written in beginning modern English. Edmund Spenser uses some dutch words in his poem, like strand (now: beach). Here we have somebody who writes the name of the person he loves on the beach, because he wants the world to know he's in love. It's not clever because when the tide comes, the waves will wash it away. In poetry they use metaphor. An example : “you are like a red rose”, a red rose is a metaphor for beauty. Line 1-2: ‘’One day I wrote her name upon the strand, but came the waves and washed it away.’’ The speaker and his love are at the beach (strand) and the speaker is in a romantic mood, because he writes her name in the sand. The waves wash the name away. Line 3: “Again I wrote it with a second hand,” The speaker writes the name again. Second hand is the same as again. The line needs to be complete and he had already used “again”. Line 4 : “But came the tide, and made my pains his prey.” Tides: the periodic variation in the surface level of oceans. The tides are a metaphor for life and death, often used by poets, because it´s one of the cententies of life. The tide is presented as a predator. His pains (efforts) are the prey of the waves. Death is also a predator, the tides are life and death. Line 5-6: ‘’Vain man, said she, that doest in vain assay, a mortel thing so to immortalize.’’ Vain has two meanings here, Vain (man) = you think too highly of yourself. Vain (assay) = useless (try). It´s useless to try and make her...
