Color coordinated like a candy cane at Christmas, I look through my window that I considered my real life television; I watched Mother Nature’s realistic display of true art. Coconut trees sway left to right and breaks the vicious slap from the ocean breeze that manifest into a gently blow on my face. The branches move rapidly and create the sound of an audience from a distance cheering. The glare from the early morning sun displays the silhouette of the hills on the horizon; It glistens on the ocean’s turquoise surface like a brilliantly cut princess diamond when light reflects from its surface. The sense of tranquility takes over when the sound of chirping birds flood your ears and a swarm of butterflies kiss every hibiscus on the flower bed. …show more content…
The missing louvers from the closet doors were from the many fights that brother and I had. The markings on the chest of drawers were from the moments I tried to express my creativity.
As I exited the room, I began to hear intense whispers. Walking cautiously to the staircase that leads directly to the master suite, the whispers were more defined and I now I hear mother and father arguing and using sharp words like two knights fighting with a sword. It was then I realized how powerful a tongue could be. As the arguing intensified, my heart began the sprint like a cheetah chasing its prey in the Sahara desert. My eyes burst with water and continued to flow and I began to feel pain as if my heart was being ripped out of my chest and my lungs were being tied into a knot gasping for

Brown's Illustration Program

We all have stories to tell. Academically and artistically speaking, the narratives that simmer inside me are largely fueled by my passion for the study of history. For me, the vehicles for expressing these narratives are pencil and paper, brush and canvas. Now, I look to Brown’s REMS Program to stoke the fire beneath my narrative cauldron and to RISD’s Illustration Program to help me perfect the skill set needed to best harness the creative energy that boils over. Farther down the road, I hope to…

Final Project Essay

organize my thoughts and ideas. My note taking was helpful but not enough. After submitting the first draft of my narrative essay in Module Three, I learned a couple things about writing. First, I could phrase a thesis statement and place it in the introductory paragraph without giving away the whole gist of my narrative right off. Professor Stocklos very eloquently guided me to rephrase what I had written about playing with my mom’s shoes as a child and use that as a metaphor for stepping into…

Film Analysis: Citizen Kane

demonstrate the different film forms like Mise-en-scène, sound, narrative, and editing. All of these were huge parts in this movie. First, the Mise-en-scène and visual elements were the most significant to me. Throughout the movie the director would make the lighting really dim to correlate a bad event with that scene. Or, he would put a bright spot light on a specific person if he wanted to bring attention to that character. Also, the narrative was non-chronological, making the movie overlap and have flashbacks…

Essay on Media Music Video Report

analyse cd covers, music videos and generic conventions within the genre. First of all I studied music videos by John Newman and Sam Smith as they use similar narratives and generic conventions.

Comparing Poe's 'Hop Frog And Tell Tale Heart'

In Poe’s “Hop Frog” and “Tell Tale Heart,” Poe develops a unique style of writing specifically in narrative point of view. He does so by giving personality and depth in narrators from both stories by using imagery, syntax, and irony. Firstly, Poe develops the third person point of view in both “Hop Frog” and “Tell Tale Heart” by using imagery to characterize the narrator. For example, in “Tell Tale Heart,” the narrator says, “Above all the sense of hearing was acute. I heard all things in the heaven…

The Dogs Could Teach Me Analysis

Descriptive Writing The narrative Flowers, written by Alice Walker had the most amount of description when compared to The Dogs Could Teach Me (Gary Paulsen) and The Sniper (Liam O’Flaherty). First of all, a sentence that was packed full of information and details caught my attention. Alice Walker uses description to appeal to all of our senses, which creates an atmosphere for the reader to feel as if they are actually there. For example, in the third paragraph she writes “She found, in addition…

Two Examples Of Alienation In Frankenstein

individuals in opposition¬—whether voluntary or involuntary—to conventional norms, illustrating, through narrative, the superficiality of our condemnation of the unalike. Furthermore, through her detailed parallel development of Frankenstein and his monster, Shelley scrutinizes the tendency to alienate, on the basis of physical deformity, in order to show the exaggerated importance of the visual aspect in the obfuscation of morality. Even Frankenstein cannot accept the being he animates and is driven…
