The imagery that Connell creates in The Most Dangerous Game captivates the audience into a tale that makes one’s heart stop even for a split second. The feelings of suspense are nearly tangible to the reader when the silence of the writing surrounds them. Additionally, the two contradicting moods are easily flowed through together and yet discreetly set apart due to Connell’s use of imagery in various scenes. Despite all the other literary devices used within The Most Dangerous Game, imagery has to be the element that really allows the emotions of the literary piece to connect to its
The decision of the image’s creator to incorporate this global issue into everyday aspects of individual lifestyles is what successfully achieves his emotional appeals. A simple depiction of sushi, which, when analyzed closer, is made of sushi, is a unique choice of art that is both eye-opening and creative. By using this juxtaposition of two

Consequently the disheartening storm threatens to destroy the light in the tower, causing the ships to crash into the rocks.

The stark description of black ruins against a sea of pink flowers serves as a touching testament to the devastation along with the pain and the struggle for civilization. Bounded by the wreckage, beauty perseveres, beckoning us to think about the passing nature of existence and provoking a sense of sadder and introspection. Mandel's skillful inclusion of the sense of smell within imagery further deepens our immersion in the post-apocalyptic landscape. We inhale the scent of decaying remnants and ashy shadows, each whiff suffusing our senses with the visible essence of desolation, submerging us ever deeper into the haunting world of Station
Sakoto Fujikasa featured work of artistry displayed within the Harn Museum is know as “Stream.” This piece in particular demonstrates a medium that has been contorted to displays various ripples and waves to resembled that of flowing water. Hence, the name “stream” best befitting it’s whimsical nature. However, at a deeper interpretation of her piece, it can be seen that there is a hiding meaning.
The Great Wave Poetry is “the art of rhythmical composition, written or spoken, for exciting pleasure by beautiful, imaginative, or elevated thoughts” (Dictionary.com). Painting is “the works of art painted in a particular manner, place, or period” (Dictionary.com). Even though poetry and painting are two different forms of art, when viewed together they can help the viewer visualize much more in their mind. The painting and the poetry interpretation of the painting titled “The Great wave”, when analyzed separately and then together, help the viewer to visualize the turmoil and strife that the painter is going through in his life.
Morgan Pitelka’s, “The Empire of Things: Tokugawa Ieyasu’s Material Legacy and Cultural Profile”, is a sound, bibliographical portrait of the mainly cultural life of the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate, Tokugawa Ieyasu during the Edo period. Through this critical review of Pitelka’s article, I will evaluate the opinions, accuracy and value of this piece as well as discuss the conclusions that I have come to about Ieyasu as a leader and ultimately how his role and influence on the development of Japanese cultural, social and political life was substantial, but also consequential. Pitelka cleverly depicts Ieyasu’s cultural profile through means of discussing the many practices and social networks that he authorized and preserved through the
When an individual reads something historical they cannot fully comprehend the story because they did not live in that time period nor did they experience the event in the character’s shoes. In this story the writer uses imagery to make the reader feel as if they were present during the event. The entire story takes place on a beach where the author is a young child posing for a picture her grandmother is taking. While narrating this event in her life the writer describes the ocean, she says “The sun cuts the rippling Gulf in flashes with each tidal rush” The way in which she described the sunset on the ocean illustrates the event in a descriptive way in which the reader can imagine it and feel as if they were there. She also uses forms of imagery to create nostalgia, for example she states “ I am four in this photograph…
Description The artwork I choose to focus my Feldman’s paper on is a sculpture, crafted by Camille Claudel, known as “The Wave”. With some information from the title provided, I was able to tell the medium Claudel chose to to make this artwork was onyx marble and bronze.

Claudel resided in France and made this sculpture in the time frame of 1893-95.
The Great Wave of Kanagawa by Katsushika Hokusai was published in his book Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji during the Tokugawa period (c. 1823-39). This full-color woodblock print was composed of a limited color palette of browns, greys, and vivid blues and depicts a giant wave that appears as though it is just about to crash down on one of two long boats, which do not appear to have a chance of navigating this tumultuous sea. The sky appears dark and stormy and in the distance a snow peaked mountain peaks out of the trough of the colossal wave. The figures in the boats appear to be rowing fiercely against the giant swells of water. The diagonal lines and curves that the scene is composed of give this piece a sense of energy and the perspective

What makes modernism catch the eye of a reader? Well, within modernism, there are several crucial characteristics. The short story, “A Rose for Emily” is characterized as a modernist piece of literature. Although the story contains the majority of the requirements, there are three that really stick out.

Chapter 2: 1) Smart: to feel a stinging pain. “The afternoon sun slanted in from the other side of the platform and most of the children, feeling too late the smart of sunburn, had put their clothes on” (Golding 32).
