...THE PURSUIT OF “GREEN CARD HAPPINESS” Starting into the New Year is a great opportunity to reflect the past year, to make plans for the future, personal goals and dreams and to ask ourselves one very important question: “What really makes me happy?”. If the answer to this question is: “America”, then you’re in best hands with The American Dream because we can help making your dream come true. The „pursuit of Happiness“ is a solid term in the United States Declaration of Independence. The American Dream has already helped many people to live their dream and counts 18,000 lucky Green Card winners so far. Winning a Green Card is the admission ticket into the land of the free with endless opportunity. LIFE, LIBERTY AND GREEN CARD LUCK The United States Declaration of Independence, announced on July 4th, 1776, claims: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness…“ With this announcement, the United States declared their independence from the British Empire and became a free nation. This significant change has had a tremendous influence on American society and encouraged many people from other countries to immigrate to the United States. This was a revolutionary idea, as back then, European countries were still reigned by kings. THE MEANING OF „THE AMERICAN DREAM“ There is no general definition of The American...

...A poem that is at bottom of The Statue of Liberty reads: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door” (Lazarus)! In the past, America was welcoming to all who wanted to be here. Today, America does not want “your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free” (Lazarus). This is because of the threat that possible immigrants could create. However, it is in the best interests of immigrants to come to America when there are unsafe situations in their former countries. One of the ways that prospective immigrants gain their visas to the United States is the Green Card Lottery....

...The Great Gatsby, F Scott Fitzgerald Chapter 6 Color Analysis May 24, 2011 Jay Gatsby | -“torn green jersey” (104): The color green symbolizes wealth and money. At this time in the book, Gatsby is working for Dan Cody, the guy who greatly supplies his wealth. The fact that the jersey is torn signifies the hard work that Gatsby demonstrates which then leads to him reaping the benefits of hard work. This section furthers to talk about his parents and how they were “unsuccessful farm people” also that Gatsby “was a son of God.” This is to say that although Gatsby’s parents were hard workers, they were unsuccessful in reaching their ideal “American dream”. Gatsby is currently making those dreams happen. He was helping to complete his father’s business, and is therefore relatively “a son of God.”---- The green jersey also symbolizes the new life that he yearns for that is full of wealth. Right at this stage in the book, Gatsby is called different names: Gatsby, James Gats, Jay Gatsby, young Gats: Each name recognizes a different stages of growth towards the Wealthy life.-“His brown, hardened body lived naturally through the half fierce, half lazy work of the bracing days.” (104): Brown is the color of earth, and of “getting down and dirty”. It further symbolizes the humility Gatsby underwent while with Dan Cody. Because the idea of wealth plagued Gatsby (“his heart was in a constant turbulent riot.”), he reaped the fruit of his labor as discussed with the color change discussed...

The lid takes up less space than a regular lid would usually take, and the mediocre size and shape of the box allow it to be stored on any shelf because it isn't too big. Slide 3 - The brand name of the Product is Nike and it signed by the famous footballer Lionel Messi. The ingredients that I chose to use inside of the packaging are sponges that I have decorated in green and orange on the bottom of the package as well as the top of the surrounding the egg, bubble wrap that is near the middle surrounding the egg as well as cotton balls directly beneath the egg also covered in green and orange. The unique features of the packaging are an easy to use lid (just open from one side) as well as a flap on the inside of the lid for the Messi Trading Card. I decided to use the colours green and orange in the packaging because first and foremost, Green represents the colour of the field that the stars plays on, and it represents what he does and orange represents his team colour. Furthermore, Green because it represents how much Messi has grown throughout his career and because it is associated with generosity and good luck and throughout his Career Messi has donated to...

...Others also believe that freedom, relationships, and fulfillment play a role in the American dream. Critics often suggest that not everyone has the same opportunities of being able to “live the dream” because of class, race, religion, and ethnicity. In the story, The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald symbolizes the hope and opportunity that can be found in the new land, what comes to be known as the American Dream in the quote, “a fresh, green breast of the new world(Chapter 9).” The color green symbolizes the hope and opportunity that can be found in the new land, what comes to be known as the American Dream. An example of a metaphor in the story is Gatsby’s house. This image serves as a key symbol of aspiration, reflecting on both Gatsby's success as an American self-made man and the mirage of an identity he has created to win Daisy's love. Gatsby follows his American Dream as he buys the house to be across the bay from Daisy, and has parties to gain wide-spread recognition in order to impress her. Yet, Owl Eyes compares Gatsby's mansion to a house of cards, muttering "that if one brick was removed the whole library was liable to collapse(Chapter 3)." Ultimately, the inevitable collapse occurs, as Gatsby loses Daisy and dies absolutely friendless, prompting Nick to refer to Gatsby's mansion...

Here we had try to use the right hemisphere of our brain to recognise the color of the word and the occipital lobe to see the colors to begin with and tempral lobe to help with the speech in saying it. There was also the fact that we had to use our hippocampus because we had to remember that that dark color over there is called green and that really light color is yellow. Test 1 was fairly easy because when the color was blue the word was blue, and test 2 was harder because the left side of the brain was trying to read the word blue despite the color being orange making that test a lot harder.

...hummingbirds prefer bright colors opposed to darker colors. The hummingbird has a red throat so considering that I would think they prefer red or something similar to red when it comes to picking flowers to visit. Research Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are primarily in the United States. These small birds are hard to find in the sky because they are only 2-3 in and can flap their wings 53 times in one second. That’s kind of hard to believe or even imagine. When it comes to the type of feeder a hummingbird feeds on doesn’t really matter. They tend to eat from any kind of feeder. When it comes to flowers they prefer, red and yellow are their preference. Experiment Materials: Hummingbirds, red flowers, blue flowers, yellow flowers, green flowers. Instructions: Place flowers 10 feet apart, release the hummingbirds from their cages and see which flowers they’re attracted to. Make a chart with tally’s for how many times to hummingbirds chose each flower. By doing this you’ll be able to tell which color they prefer more. Analysis...

...The Color Red In Director Sam Mendes’ American Beauty, Cinematographer Conrad Hall utilizes great lengths of visual silence to signify the enveloping, jarring presence of Lester Burnham’s own, imaginary world. Conrad Hall also creates startling visual silence when intensely focusing upon each character of American Beauty, and consistently morphs the lack of apparent objects into an inconspicuous focus on the striking color of Red. Through this enigmatic color, Conrad incessantly portrays the goal and lifelong desire of every character in the movie, starting with Lester Burnham. Each character is faced with a dream that is not recognized starting from the opening scene, but becomes gradually apparent through the blatant indication of Conrad’s color choice on various objects in each subsequent plot point. There are numerous shades of red as well; contrasting between each character’s superficial appearance, such as Jane’s distinct albeit crude lipstick, and the essential, authentic item of desire, such as Angela Haye’s falling rose petals in Lester’s fantasies. With the brilliant amalgamation of red and specified isolation of Lester, Jane, Carolyn and Ricky, along with the enveloping shades of gray in between, Conrad imparts a language of film unique to his own perspective: telling a story not through the conversations of character, but through the stark contrasts of color and use of varied visual silence. Lester Burnham first sights the color red through the lovely, soft rose...

...paramount, but is red light cameras the most effective way to proceed? Once the data is analyzed it is clear that there are far safer alternatives that will also save taxpayers a great deal of money over red light cameras. In a September 2004 study by the Texas Transportation Institute conducted by James Benneson, P.E., many aspects of the way red light cameras operate were broken down by the researchers. It was discovered that in most instances the red light cameras issued citations within the first second of the light turning red. Almost all incidents of people being cited for running the red light occurred when the light turned red while the vehicle was already in the intersection. Due to the delay between the light turning from red to green in the opposite flow of traffic there was little risk of a right-angle collision, which is the most common type of collision caused by people running red lights. In all cases of right-angle collisions but one the accident occurred five or more seconds after the light had changed. Furthermore many infractions were issued...

...Colour research Our emotions influence our perception of colour and vice versa. Colour’s meaning can change over time with fashion changing social attitudes and also familiarity. Colour’s most important function is to produce information both visually and psychologically. It is important to note however, that it can also create opposing reactions. The artist or designer much try their best to control what the viewer perceives. This influence allows the designer or artist to impart their message effectively. It is important to remember that majority of the time colour is seen by the viewer before the actual image. This information allowed me to think in a more critical way and also made me think about how I can use significant colours to evoke a certain response. Red Red is one of my favourite colours as I feel l gain the most emotional impact from. I find it interesting how I am affected in a physical way for example when I feel warmer wrapped up in a red blanket rather than another colour. The possible double meaning and strength is also appealing to me. Being the lowest wavelength, red is a powerful colour. It has the property of appearing to be nearer to be closer than it actually is therefore grabbing your attention. For this reason, it is the most used colour for traffic lights and signs around the world. It’s affects are actually physical and it has been proven in research to raise the pulse rate in people, giving the impression that time is passing...

...Aaron Kinowski 2-D Design Andy Goldworthy Response Throughout the video of Andy Goldworthy, it was apparent that line was a major part of his art and life. In almost every piece that was presented, Goldworthy used different types of line to present his feelings and emotion. From aggression to peaceful, Goldworthy presented an array of emotions. I noted some of the examples of how Andy uses line to present emotion. One emotion that I detected was freedom. He talked about how water was so unpredictable and free and in one of his pieces; he connected dozens of green leaves and formed a line with them. He then put those leaves in a river. The leaves’ movement was not predictable and showed freedom. Goldworthy also depicted peacefulness in one of his pieces. Andy woke up early one morning before sunrise and worked on an ice sculpture. Ice is peaceful to me because it his frozen and never moving, depicting stillness and peace. The sculpture was finished just as the sun rose and gleamed perfectly on the piece, which depicted peace in my eyes. Andy Goldworthy was also passionate about the color red. Red in my eyes shows aggression, anger, and power. In one of his pieces, he would grab different rocks from riverbeds that would produce a deep red color. He would then put that color in several places around the river, which in my eyes depicted aggression. Goldworthy is very passionate about the emotion that he puts in his work and it was clear from the...
