...The green light has a many different symbolic meaning that what first comes to thought. Gatsby would often reach towards or look at the light. Also, Gatsby built his house across from Daisy and used the light to feel closer to Daisy. When the green light is first introduced to the book, it seems very miniscule in the grand scheme of things, but when further looked into, the role of the light is revealed as a important symbol to the story. The most obvious symbol of the green light is Gatsby’s desire and hope to be with Daisy once more. In chapter one Gatsby is at his dock looking longingly towards Daisy’s dock with the green light. Then later on in chapter five Gatsby is caught reaching towards the green light as if he expects Daisy’s hand to be next to his. Gatsby has a sense of hope when looking at the light. That hope is carried on throughout the book. He believes that it is his way of staying connected to Daisy and hope to be reunited once again with her. He hopes that Daisy will learn to love him like she once did, and things would go back to like they were before. Daisy, of course, can’t bring herself to leave Tom for Gatsby. Gatsby continues in his hopeful fantasy of the past. He becomes overly consumed by his fantasies that his thought process in the present is manipulated into thinking that are just simply not reality. Its a dream that Gatsby strives for, and will go to any lengths to get it. When Gatsby realizes at the hotel that Daisy also shares love for Tom...

...ʘ In the Pacific Ocean there is an island composed by two mountains. It is as if someone had placed together two big handfuls of earth and stones in the heart of the sea. The bigger one is called Sadness and the smaller one Joy. ʘ Mythology tells us that many centuries ago Joy was larger and higher than Sadness, but, due to an earthquake, part of it fell in the sea, shaping the mountain the way we find it today. No one knows if that is really the truth. ʘ ʘ The fact is that where those two geological accidents meet live a girl named Aletheia and her grandmother. Aletheia and her grandma are like the mountains: two persons who are always together. ʘ Today the girl is shorter and smaller than her grandmother; but some day, nobody knows when, Aletheia will wake and she will be taller than her grandma. Aletheia is going to grow up and I think that when this day comes, they will still be together, just like the mountains of the island. One day this girl asked: “Grandma, who made the world?”. To what her grandmother replied, “God”. - “All of it?”. - “Yes, all of it”. - “By himself?”. - “Yes”. ʘ Aletheia left the room with that conversation on her mind. She was not convinced. She thought about this for a few days. In order to digest her thoughts she went for a walk through the island. Alone she thought. Aloud she though and she began to share her thoughts with whatever crossed her way: leaves, trees, stones, ants, crickets, etc. Had God created the...

...stand like respected, insightful persons. Looking upward from the streambed where I stand, I see dark green leaves of August, loaded with life, stretching out from treetops and branches toward little fixes of blue sky. Nothing is more meriting commendation than a tree that has persevered. Excellence drawing closer godlikeness. Not a thing is absent. Flawlessness. Its trunk, gigantic. Its bark, thick. In Japanese it is called mizunara- - water oak. Its name gets from the expansive measure of water it stores. These trees develop to 100 feet in tallness; I am informed that their normal age is around 300 years. As I look upward, the consistent mumble of the mountain stream purifies my ears, punctuated every now and then with the peeping of fowls. Could there be a winged animal that does not sing? Could there be a tree that does not reach toward the sky? The tree stakes its exceptionally presence on only one thing. It needs just to completely show the force it has covered up inside. "I will carry on with my life! I will completely develop and idealize my life!" Without perplexity or faltering, glad, superb, the tree lives as it may be, consistent with itself. What's more, in the place where there is Oirase, such respectable trees line the streambeds in "green forests." And the name Aomori, the prefecture in which Oirase is found, signifies "green forests." It was my first visit to Aomori in 15 years. Summer, 1994. I had flown from Sapporo on Japan's...

...I chose for my observation subject a California strawberry. The strawberries were already in my refrigerator just waiting to be made part of my morning smoothie. I chose to sacrifice this fruit because of the observation potential I thought it might have. The size, shape, color, flavor, and other appealing characteristics made me think that it would be a good subject that could keep my interest. I know that I need to slow down enough to be able to observe fully so I wanted something that could capture and hopefully keep my attention. I took two strawberries out of the 1lb. package and placed them on a small square cutting board on the dining room table. I took two berries because I had already put some thought into the observation process I wanted to follow and this would allow me to cut open each strawberry in a different direction. I also had other supplies I thought I would need; a small knife, my paper, and pencil and a stop watch for keeping track of time. First I held the strawberry; it was about 1 ¼” tall and ¾” at its widest and it was cold from being in the refrigerator. The shape of the berry is much like that of a heart, not the human organ but the one you would draw to show love. It was wider at the top and tapered down to a rounded bottom. It was red in color but with various tones of red, not a solid one color red. The outer skin was a rubber–like consistency; there was some resistance when I rubbed my fingers all around it. The skin was indented with...

...Traffic Control System Performance measure against which our proposed policy to be tested is green time utilization. This performance measure is estimated by measuring the green time during which vehicles are served for an instance of a given phase and then dividing by the total length of the green time instance (i.e. minimum and maximum green time) The supporting data for green time utilization are as follows: * Allocated minimum and maximum green time * vehicle departure times * Saturation headway These data can be retrieved from the Signal control data and stop line detector. Our objective is to maintain ideal state as long as possible if control system deviates from this ideal state to (over-utilization) or (under-utilization) then by using adaptive control strategy system will take actions by changing existing policy. Objective: max.8≤Ugfk<1 Subject to constraints: g minfk≤gfk≤g maxfk (1) f=AFgfk≤C (2) Here, Ugf= Average time taken by vehiclesAvailable time Ugf=number of departures in phase f× hsat{gmin, gmax} Ugminf= number of departures in phase f× hsat{gmin}, Ugmaxf= number of departures in phase f× hsat{gmax} So, theoretically the green time utilization should follow following condition to be remain in ideal state (i.e. state)...

After shredding was complete the pile of cabbage was placed into a stainless steel cook pot. 2. In order to attempt to get the most accurate results I used my fish tank ph test to identify the ph level of my tap water. The result was my tap water is about a 7.8 (slightly higher than the 7.0 that is considered neutral). 3. I then measured out 750ml of tap water and added it to the pot where my cabbage was. 4. I then started boiling the cabbage while I assembled the 7 different substances including the coke and antacid as per the special instructions for this lab. 5. After 5 minutes I removed the cabbage from the stove and carefully drained the broth into a new glass bowl. 6. I...

...Mark Rothko American artist, Mark Rothko, is one of the major abstract expressionists painter. His works are more than just paintings, as they represent pure and complex internal meaning. Rothko’s paintings each have some sort of underlying meaning. His uses of colors were meant to get attention of the audience. The Rothko room at the Phillips collection museum is comprised of four paintings of his. The room is small but the paintings are quite large and almost fill most of the wall. Being in the room gives a sensation of closeness with the artist. To understand his work, each painting should be looked at individually with some knowledge of the artist’s intentions. Each color, shade, layer, composition brings his paintings to life. Color is the main component in Rothko’s paintings and it is what he is known for. Certain colors of each individual painting represent some kind of an emotion. Dark colors give a sensation of negative emotions such as anger, sadness, and sorrow. In contrast to dark colors, bright colors have a feeling of positive emotions such as happiness. Some of Rothko paintings have both colors, which makes the painting even more complex and difficult to comprehend. The way his paintings are painted, it is easy to tell that there is a message that it is trying to convey. Rothko uses more than just simple colors but layers of them. Each layer is painted on so eloquently that it is visibly calling for attention. Layers of colors give his painting more depth...

...The Death of Marat Painting The Death of Marat is created by French artist Jacques-Louis David in 1973, in the size of 6550”(1.65 1.27”m), oil on canvas. Marat was a doctor, scientist and journalist. He fought for the freedom and democracy in France so that strongly supported by the middle class and lower class people, but also made enemies of the aristocracy. The picture depicts an on-going event. Figure lying in the bathtub in the painting is Marat. He was stabbed by Charlotte Corday, a Girondin from a minor aristocratic family against Marat, into the heart with a small blood splattered knife dropping on the ground, bleeding from the wound to the canvas covered on the bathtub. He laid on his side uncomfortably from the posture in the painting, and his right arm hung down the bathtub but holding a quill in the hand while the left hand tightly gripped a letter with blood, says”Please send this five francs to the mother of five children. Her husband gave his life for his country.” The money, the ink, another quill and a piece of paper placed on the khaki counter, which contrast to the dark blue blanket covered on the Marat’s naked body. The light, structure and space of the painting arranged appropriately but ordinary. The spot light plays from left to right, highlighted on Marat’s face, arms and letter in his left hand. Therefore his facial expression in sublime become more easy to see.In the meantime, the direction of the spot light also component of the whole structure...

...family, you shouldn’t just give up because it’s a bit hard. A family is a place where you should feel loved, wanted and respected. The short story by Julia Darling called “The Dress” written in 2006. The story is about the two sisters Rachel and Flora. Rachel has bought a light green dress to wear at the dinner they are going to with their mother to celebrate her fortieth birthday. But when Flora found the dress lying in the kitchen, she takes it because she felt that it was meant for her. She destroys the dress, and it creates a tension between the two girl at the dinner. At home the tension develops when Flora admits taken, destroying and burying the dress. The fight leads to Rachel going to their father’s house and Flora leaving, which leaves the mother alone. We hear about four characters in the short story Rachel, Flora, the mother and Floras friend Alberto. We don’t hear who’s the elder and who’s the younger sister. The mother is a forty year old bereavement counsellor. She’s thinking about quitting her job, and start making jewellery instead. She seems indecisive, she doesn’t do what she wants to do - throughout the story we hear about what she wants, but she doesn’t do anything to get it. She also seems rather childish judged by her behaviour, we see examples of that in page 12, line 182-183 it says: “She stood up, walked to the wide glossy window, and pressed her face against the glass, watching the taxi slide away” - to press her face against the window...

...pleasant, full of life type of background. There were trees, a river, plenty of green plants and one cloud that was going by. To the average reader, they would take this information and see it just as how it was, just the scenery that the author wanted his story to take place in. In this English class and the one I have previously taken, I have learned that there is usually a reason that authors chose the scenery and the other words that they choose. In class we discussed and started explaining how things that were used in the scenery could also be used to show the different views the couple was having on abortion. When Hemingway is saying that the one side of the crossroads was a brown, dry, lifeless looking hillside it could be him showing that that is how life would be without having this child and going through with the abortion. Her life would be just very clean and not have as many things that would be going on. it was not the prettiest of views, especially not exactly what the woman wanted for herself. On the other hand, the other side of the crossroads there was another view. One could say this would be a way of showing how life would be if they were to have this baby. This side showed a side that was full of life and other beautiful things. It had a river, trees, and plenty of green plants. When they use the color green that can stand for something. I have learned that green can be used to symbolize growth. Growth would be a significant part in their lives...

...For the following assignment I have chosen kiwi fruit as my source of concentration and focus. As I started to explore this object, first I have decided to focus on the outer appearance. Just by looking at the kiwi fruit, the shape that I noticed is oval or cylindrical, kind of egg-shaped fruit, a little similar to lemon size, with the two ends on each side. It is also pretty clean and uniform in shape, meaning that it’s not wrinkled or shriveled as I look at it. Skin of the fruit is covered with the thin, short, and fuzzy little hair, almost like it’s wrapped with moss that is of brown color with the dark green layer underneath of it that is evidently flat and plain. The overall color of kiwi is a mixture of brown with dark green. As I grabbed a fruit in order to touch it and hold it, I experienced that the whole fruit is very soft and pleasant due to its hairy texture. I also felt that it is dry and subtle as well, so the fuzz present on the surface of the fruit tends to fall down while touching it. Although it seems pretty soft while holding the kiwi in hands, when I put the fruit closer to my face and touched it with my cheek, I felt a little rough skin of the kiwi fruit. When I held kiwi, I noticed that the fruit itself is massive and heavy; I would say that it was almost like holding an egg. When I squeezed it, it got softer for a moment and automatically came back to its original shape because its stable texture makes that even while pressing on it, the shape stays the...

All the color wheel does is tell you how best to combine colors.There are particular color combinations in the color wheel that are particularly pleasing to the eye, called color harmonies. The basic primary colors of red, yellow, and blue are used to create the secondary colors. Tertiary colors are created by mixing primary and secondary colors together.[1] * There are warm colors and cool colors. Warm colors tend to be orange, red, yellow, etc. and cool colors are greens, blues, and purples.
