...the most important paragraph is on page 56, “the whole landscape showed design, like man’s noblest sculptures” (Muir 56) shows how the land was so perfect and detailed as how a sculpture is but was created by mother nature hands instead of another man’s work. 2. Most important sentence (CORRECT MLA CITATION REQUIRED) and why? I believe the most important sentence is, “beauty beyond thought everywhere, beneath, above, made and being made forever” (Muir 56). This quote shows how the beauty of the landscape has been created and still continues to grow in an endless beauty. This paragraph is an important sentence that show how important the landscape was to John Muir and how others would see the land if they were standing where John Muir was in the moment. 3. Most important word (CORRECT MLA CITATION REQUIRED) and why? The word that I think was most important is “divine” (Muir 59), because it is a word pertaining to god or devoted to God. This word is used many times and to say something is pertaining to God means it has great value and is very important along with very special. 4. What surprised you the most? What surprised me the most is how John Muir creates visions to my eyes with his choice of sentences and words. 5. What makes the character(s) believable (dress, accent, actions, etc.)? What makes the character believable to me is how he describes the landscape through his vocabulary and the way he gives the reader such...

...This world is full of creation and inspiration. Talented hands and minds create beautiful sceneries and landscapes for all walks of life. These are the hands and minds of landscape architects. Landscape architects create a wide arrange of landscape designs. Most architects get their inspiration from art and personal experiences. I am designing a landscape area for my Aunt Stacy’s grave. She has always been my inspiration for art and design, so she deserves a beautiful grave site and a place for her loved ones to be comfortable visiting. Landscapers are important to our communities. They create nice places for us to visit and live in. Without them, land areas and yards would be boring and run down. Landscape architects have required degrees...

...The Summer Palace (Chinese Pinyin: Yí Hé Yuán), northwest of Beijing, is said to be the best preserved imperial garden in the world, and the largest of its kind still in existence in China. It is only a short drive (15 km) from central Beijing but seems like another world. Most people find they need to spend at least half a day here, there’s so much to see and enjoy in the gardens, buildings, and waterways. You can take a 10 minute boat-ride to see an island temple, sit and watch a traditional Chinese performance in the restored theatre (one of the three great traditional theatres in China), or explore the recreated traditional shopsby the river. The story goes, that former Emperors, or their concubines, used to enjoy 'pretend-shopping', as normally everything was bought for them. Just wandering round enjoying the different buildings and courtyards, or just taking in the views from one of the many vantage points is a pleasure. A visit involves plenty of walking, so wear comfortable shoes and protection from the weather (sun or rain) and be prepared to be enchanted. There are many pleasant spots along the way to pause and enjoy this much-loved summer retreat, as well as places to enjoy cool drinks and snacks. The Summer Palace (Chinese: 颐和园; pinyin: Yíhéyuán), is a vast ensemble of lakes, gardens and palaces in Beijing, China. It serves as a popular tourist destination and recreational park. Mainly dominated by Longevity Hill (万寿山; 萬壽山; Wànshòu Shān) andKunming Lake (昆明湖; Kūnmíng...

...Brooklyn’s city of the dead, Green Wood Cemetery, is also grand public park where many go not just to mourn the dead but also to enjoy the natural landscape. This cemetery was established in 1838 by urban planner Henry Evelyn Pierrport. David Douglass was the designer of the cemetery.

...The representation of Place within artworks throughout our history was caused by the search to understand the world and its roles. Throughout this time, many artists devised landscapes in a much different form to the usual accurate representations. Artists in the Post-Modern era have begun to investigate the relationship of memory, psychology and imagination to place and space. These landscapes differ greatly between artists, especially throughout different time periods. Three artists that take very different approaches to the idea of places and spaces are Joseph Mallord William Turner, Toba Khedoori and Jeffrey Smart. Joseph Mallord William Turner was an English Romanticist landscape painter whose work is often regarded as a Romantic...

...------------------------------------------------- How has the Australian Landscape been used to portray and show the development of Australian Character? Refer to 2 Texts. As a person that calls Australia home, I have seen and heard many criticisms and descriptions of this land that were observed from foreigners. Although there are aspects that create the image of Australia such as the people and the natural fauna, the main and central idea that represents our home are her deadly and awe-inspiring environments and landscape. Australia’s character is built upon first impressions. As most people rely on their sight, their first impressions are from visual perspectives. The environment of which they arrive in or have experienced from media depend largely on what they see, thus making the Australian landscape of vital importance in creating the “Australian Character.” Due to the fact that we rely on sight, this also includes our limitless imagination; and the key to imaginations are words. Description, tone and the feelings portrayed through words are the cause of imaginations and perceptions and because the iconic images of Australia are the landscapes we tend to include them in our portrayals. Written languages have been around for centuries, it is a way of communication and as informed so are images. The comparison for the development of Australia flows easily with words and is therefore usually portrayed in texts, other forms of literature and in songs. It goes into more...

...Name: Kevin (袁云鹏) ID: 1131500067 Major: MHR Due date: 2014.09.22 My Summer Experience From June to September 2014, the three month vocation is the last summer break of my student time. Instead of choosing to take part in the internship, I try my best to travel, and to know this world. The three months summer break is full of surprises and memory. I will never forget this 108 days. In June, I finished my final exam of the second semester of year 3 in UIC. And I also take part in the exam for the Human Resource Management qualification and Customer Service Management. I also pass the College English Test 6, without any preparation which own to the good learning environment in UIC. Then, I join the all-night music party holding by BNUZ students, with whom I play guitar, African drum and sing. I have made a lot of good friend including Lai, the nice man coming from Xinjiang. And Lai invited me to Xinjiang to travel. I had spent the next few days playing band with my new friends who are really good at JAM. Then, I organize the travel to my hometown, inviting my band members to enjoy delicious food. It was quite difficult to arrange the 8 people group by myself but however, I did it quite well. And they had tasted the best food in Shantou, which I believe is the best food in the world. Then, at the end of June, I helped my brother’s business selling wine and being the cashier in his wine store. At the same time, I also prepared for the coming summer program in France. The whole...

...What Lies Beneath Washington Square Park? Washington Square Park is a staple of New York City, and if you've ever visited the Big Apple you probably went to see the famous archway. But the park has gone through many changes and renovations: the first park on the site wasn't built until 1850. And the historic arch was not installed until 1892, replacing a cheap one made of wood and plaster. In fact, the park that is erected there now was finalized when Robert Moses (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Moses) updated the fountain in the center. It Wasn't Part Of The City Until 1797 But before the land of Washington Square Park was bought by New York City, it passed between many hands. It's hard to believe that most of Manhattan and Brooklyn was farm land, or marshes. In fact, a huge network of streams once ran right through modern day Greenwich Village. In the late 1600s, only a fraction of Manhattan island was owned by the city. The land of Washington Square Park was divided by a stream, and before the Dutch muscled their way in, it belonged to local Native Americans. The city finally bought it from the dutch in 1797 for a very specific reason: a public cemetery (then, known as a Potter’s Field). What is a Potter’s Field? In Layman’s Terms, it’s a mass grave. For those who couldn't afford to be buried after death, the public cemetery was where you ended up. Working class, freedmen, criminals, and victims of Yellow Fever were put in the ground that became Washington Square...

...the photographic process to create the impressive vision of the landscape ‘Tempest: After Streeton’. This view is a fictitious creation that has been created by the particular elements and aspects of the work; and it challenges the traditional role of photography as a document of the real world. In addition, Shane Fitzgerald works significant elements together to promote a specific theme that makes spectators feel free to read into the image and to distil from it –an ‘awesomely’ sublime environment and extreme weather. This is in addition to exploring the human perceptions of the environment and telling people what the real art is. This artwork functions like a large ‘mirror’ in which the viewers may identify with a creative expression of the landscape to which it belongs. The ‘mirror’ gives an illusion of sublime weather under the conditions of tempest, which captures the viewers’ mind all the time—the vast realms and luminous coalescences of the grassland and dark clouds. The panoramic landscape at sunset has been manipulated, producing a paint-like effect across a vista of clouds at dusk, with extreme fears and depression sweeping over the horizon. This is the viewer’s first impression regarding the artwork’s composition in terms of evoking a breath-taking natural spectacle so intense it seems to pulse with life-force. In these intense stunning conditions, Fitzgerald seeks a sublime expression of the landscape by standout artwork techniques through composition, line, space...

...Profiles belong to a very “stretchy” and versatile genre. These profiles of Griffith Park differ greatly, but they both describe the same place. A.How do they differ in terms of the details they describe? The first story has a real historic feel. The writer goes into a lot of details about the land and how the land later came to be a national park. The second story tells a story of an adventured through the famed park. b. How do they differ in purpose, angle, audience, and style? The first article is for more of a historic reason, while the second story is there simply to tell a story about a night filled with adventure. c. How do their titles forecast the content, angle, and style of each? The first title is long and detailed. The seco0nd is short and sweet. d. How do their organizations differ? How do they begin and end? The article which tells the history, lists several historic facts about the person whom created the Park. The second article tells a story which happens to take place in the park. One Article is to educate, the other is simply to tell a story. e. Finally, compare the two in a single sen- tence that follows a pattern like this one: “The Recreation and Parks piece makes me feel alive, while Percy’s piece makes me feel kind of bored.
