but it also demonstrates how nature is unpretentious. This shows that a regular colour can be seen from a different perspective. It also uses juxtaposition because it uses a normal colour in a celestial place. Overall, the fact that the story begins by describing the setting makes
BLOOD SIMPLE’s mise-en-scene starts off with the lighting of the car ride, it is dark, the characters’ are draped in shadows, the outside world is a blur, and the mood is being set for the follow on scenes. BLOOD SIMPLE’s opening composition also establishes a central theme for the audience that this movie will be gloomy, have immoral implications and be filled with betrayal.

Question 1 I have chosen to analyze a passage on page 109 from line 1-10. In this passage Romeo looks up at Juliet's window hoping to catch a glimpse of her. He compares Juliet to the sun and prays that it's not the maid that is the light "through yonder window breaks". Shakespeare uses a mix of both enjambment and caesura (line 3, line 6 & line 9) in this particular passage.
Throughout the story many of the objects and scenery around Rainsford are described using the words black and red. The reader associates those colors to things in our world. This in turn creates suspense, because you know that something awful is going to happen.

The short fiction story of “ The Life You Save May Be Your Own ” written by Flannery O’Connor uses many literary devices.

In The Wizard of Oz, the theme is related to the comforts of home, lies and deceit, courage, explorations and maybe a little politics of 1890s America. While Wicked’s themes seem to be aimed at beauty, racism, acceptance, good and evil, and friendship. The themes for both musicals differ greatly and send a much different message to the viewer. The Wizard of Oz gives off more of a “lets go explore” and friendship kind of feeling whereas Wicked makes you think about society and how we treat others. The biggest factor in that is Elphaba, and how she is treated differently because her skin color is green.
The Wizard is presented to Dorothy as a large green head, The Emerald City was built and occupied by the tyrannus government, and Elphaba is born with green skin. However, elphaba is not wicked. In her young adulthood, elphaba realizes this and decides she wants to live up to this stereotype, simply because it’s hopeless to be seen any other way. In Oz, or really anywhere, people fear the unknown. Elphaba is the unknown.
In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald uses the colour green as a symbol to show how modern America has strayed from the moral code of the country and in doing so, has become obsessed with wealth. He does this by comparing Gatsby to Dutch colonists. This is because for both Gatsby and the Dutch colonists in the 1610’s, green was a representation for what they want most in their lives. In the fifth chapter, Fitzgerald developes this symbolism when he writes, “‘You always have a green light that burns at the end of your dock.’ Daisy put her arm through his abruptly…

In literature, colors are often used to create a deeper meaning of a book. In The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the analysis of color can influence the meaning of the story and help create a deeper understanding of the characters. One color mentioned is the color yellow. One example of the color yellow is its portrayal through two girls wearing yellow dresses at one of Jay Gatsby’s parties. The girls and their yellow dresses are used to predict happiness, yet are also used to predict caution.
Throughout the novel the color green is brought up quite frequently, many of the other colors used often have a much deeper more significant meaning. Fitzgerald
Every color has a deeper meaning, and every person has a color that symbolizes events they have gone through in life. In The Great Gatsby, by Scott Fitzgerald readers examine Jay Gatsby’s struggles of trying to rekindle his lost relationship with a woman named Daisy a cousin of a young bondsman Nick (narrator of novel). Yet also trying to handle Daisy’s already cheating husband Tom and his mistress, Myrtle, and her husband George Wilson. Fitzgerald uses colors to symbolize the scramble to achieve the pretentious and impossible American Dream In Chapter 9 Fitzgerald furthers his analysis of the American dream. Nick Carraway says, “Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us.
Psychoanalysis of the Wizard of Oz Of the many literary theories that have come about over the years, one of the most interesting is the idea of psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis was first introduced in the 1880s by Sigmund Freud, he claimed that unconscious desires were the reasoning behind most behavioral problems. Furthermore, Freud speculated that one’s subconscious desires were influenced by what happened in one’s childhood ("Purdue OWL: Literary Theory and Schools of Criticism", 2018). Freud also said that children go through various stages of development where they focus on one body part or another, such as the oral or anal stage, and that children may fixate on their parent of the opposite sex, known as the Oedipus Complex ("Purdue OWL: Literary Theory and Schools of Criticism", 2018). After reading about psychoanalysis it is easy to apply the theory to one of the most beloved movies of all time, The Wizard of Oz.
The fact that they made the ruby slippers heels, a more grown-up shoe, is also telling. They originally belonged, we assume, to a grown-up witch - but when Dorothy has her black utilitarian flats traded for the very sexy red heels - it makes her seem one step closer to adult-hood. Her hairstyle is also eventually made more grown-up; once she reaches Oz, her braids are traded in for a looser style. On the other hand, the Wicked Witch of the West has a green face which indicates to the audience that she is evil and unfriendly. She is also in all black with a cone-shaped head piece and broomstick to add on to the image of being evil.
