In the image of "Going to the Olympics, 1984" by Frank Romero's, he was a noted muralist and pioneering Chicano painter that loves to paint. What I see in the image is a bunch of cars just driving down the streets enjoying the weather. Some of the possible meaning of all of these images is to express how you feel in the paintings. Also the symbols I see in the image is hearts in each car to show that everybody is enjoying the nice weather while they're driving. What Romero might feel about our city's car culture is that he loves it.
I would of thought that it was like "lets go pump some iron" but every symbol has a different meaning. In Romero's mural "Going to the Olympic,1984", he might feel about our cities car culture is that its an important part of our lives in L.A. thats why he made the cars colorful and put hearts on top of them. the artist choice of color sets the mood of the picture in Los Angeles because it was a vibrant image and when people are driving on the freeway they get bored so when you see it i think that people will get in a better mood. the mural makes you think a lot of why he choose those colors and why those shapes.
Symbolism shows up again later on in the book providing context/background information as they cross the Soldier’s Bridge. The symbolism that shows up here isn’t exactly the Soldier’s Bridge, but how people were identified based on if they had a car, what type of car they had, and what color they were. An example of this is the Soldier’s Bridge. “More than once when I had been in the wagon with Mama or Big Ma, we had to back off the bridge when a white family started across after we were already on it.” (pg 138)
The symbols which shape our recognitions and suspend distrust are what make symbols political gadgets. This makes symbols a method for impact and control, despite the fact that it is regularly difficult
What is the reason for all the symbolism in the poem? “Auto headlights” are depicted as more sudden than anyone knew (11). Auto headlights symbolize new chances. New chances always pop up when you least expect it. Due to humans “burrow[ing) backwards” when new prospects come around “nothing begets” (13-14).
Karen, it was brought to my attention on a case I recently had that the property record and evidence sticker for the same container did not match. In this instance, I moved an item from one property record to another (per the drop box on the property record work sheet). When that item was placed onto the other property record, it did not put the items in sequential order with the other items in the item tabs on top of the work sheet. I checked the evidence sticker (it is the first to appear on the print preview) and they were placed in sequential order on the sticker. I later realized the items were not in order on the corresponding property record.

The short story “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” by Joyce Carol Oates contains many symbols that reveal a hidden message. The car symbolizes freedom that mostly men got to enjoy as women sat in the passenger sit. The story does mention one driver who is a woman but she is noted as a “crazy woman driver” as she left a dent in Arnold Friend’s car. The man being the driver had the power which is what Arnold wants when he asks Connie to get in the car so that he can take her “for a ride.” The car and Arnold are both disguised and in some moments their disguise becomes apparent.
Both public and private spaces can be included, and it portrays a mapping and experience that is not additive, linear, or dualistic. According to Keifer-Boyd and Smith, it is an “extension of self in visual narrative form” (2012, p.4). Situated knowledges are how one knows what one knows via a relationship between lived experience and the influence of social location. There is no such thing as ‘neutral space.’ By pairing my experiences with locations and particular spaces, I could navigate
This is a large part of this theory that sticks out, the part of this theory that I think applies the utmost to our society. It’s applied to everything around us, from what car you drive to what kind of earphones or purse you own. These material comforts
In this era, with technology as a part of everyday life, it has become difficult to use a simple Public Service Announcement (PSA) as a way to reduce distracted drivers. This is due, for the most part, to the developed habit of assuming. People believe, since it’s seen in many shows and commercials, that those ‘bad things’ that come as a result of distracted driving are not likely to occur to them. People want to prove that they are able to do multiple tasks at once and every PSA would be a challenge so to speak, to show they are above average at multitasking. Those such assumptions and aspirations to prove oneself have resulted in such growing rates.
In today’s society, distracted driving is a major issue, one we have been struggling with since the invention of cell phones. In 2013 alone, over 3,000 people were killed in accidents caused by distracted driving in the US. While many methods have been used to try and stop distracted driving, people are still in search of the best way to go about it. Many believe that we will get the best results by distributing PSAs, or Public Service Announcements, across the nation through different forms of media. They believe that, by showing people the facts, they will become more educated on the dangers of distracted driving and cease to do so.
“On the Sunny Side of the Street” performed by Esperanza Spalding is a jazz and blues song about letting go of your worries by “walking on the sunny side of the street. The song is excellently performed and watching Esperanza Spalding perform was entrancing. The song was very cool and had a nice bass behind it. The light nature of the song was perfectly complimented by the low bass and free flowing piano notes. Many solos were performed and each one carried the liberating feel of the song forward.
Fashion is my method of self-expression. The clothes we choose to wear gives us control over how others perceive us and affects how we feel about ourselves. From wearing black at the Golden Globes in support of the Time’s Up movement to the traditional Chinese Qi Pao, clothes can show solidarity without words or act as a way for us to connect to our cultural heritage. This is why fashion is important to me, because it allows me to tell a story about who I am and who I aspire to be. I have chosen to further my Management studies at the London College of Fashion because the MA Fashion Design Management covers themes essential for managing a successful fashion brand, which has always been a dream of mine.
