Big Orange Color Differences
The Big Orange Pride has this tradition, where after the second part of band camp we would have a “bonfire”. It used to be a real bonfire but nowadays they use colorful sand and put it in bottles.This version of the “bonfire” has happened for three years now and I like it much better than the actual bonfire. They give you something to actually keep for the rest of your life.

Each bottle has six colors in it. Each color represents a section in the band. The colors are a mixture of the school colors and out show colors. As the colors are being put into the jar, seniors from those sections get to talk to the band about their experiences and such. Once the colors are in the bottle and everyone has spoken, Mr. VanPatten tells everyone to pick up

    “A peanut-brown boy with curly hair, he seemed to know everything,” (McPherson 9). Comparing the color of a peanut to the skin color of a boy that the main character notes is important in contributing to McPherson’s ongoing connection between lifeless objects and the colors of everyday life. It’s this type of diction that the author uses that develops a childish tone throughout the story. Not only does the author use this connection between two different parts of speech but he also uses adjectives to develop the colorful tone of the story. “These happy children would pull and twist the long arms of billowy crepe paper into wondrous, multicolored plaits,” (McPherson 13). The main character describes his observation of the colors around the Maypole as “wondrous,” which continues to develop the tone of vibrant and youthful colorfulness throughout the story. The adjectives the author uses have a childish ambience to them, including “wondrous,” which creates a visualization of the main character as a young boy staring in awe at the colors of the Maypole. “A deep blue bandanna enclosed her head with the wonder of a summer sky. Black patent leather shoes glistened like half-hidden stars beneath the red and white of her hemline,” (McPherson 18). The author continues to portray the main character as a young man infatuated with the colors around him to amplify and extend the tone of color in the story through a childish…

    First, yellow symbolized the joyful moments in a depressing world. Yellow signifies joy and happiness. "Yellow helps energize people and relieves depression" (Color Symbolism and Culture). Fitzgerald used this color to describe many of the characteristics of Gatsby's parties. "The lights grow brighter as the earth lurches away from the sun and now the orchestra is playing yellow cocktail music and the opera of voices pitches a key higher" (Fitzgerald 40). Describing the music as "yellow" showed that the band was playing upbeat music. It was a party and everyone there was dancing and having…

    As Jeanette, the protagonist of Jeanette Winterson’s Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, states, “time is a great deadener.” (93) Essentially, as time passes, people will inherently forget crucial details of history, allowing for various interpretations and even inaccuracies to be perpetuated. The aforementioned Oranges, Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five, Tom Stoppard’s play Arcadia, and Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart all explore, in some capacity, how certain people or events from the past are “immortalized” in modern societies, and how individuals or groups interact with history in general. Each of these works contends with the idea of the passage of time in some way, and how this passage can change the perceived meaning of one’s situation.…

    My Favorite Movie

    As the movie starts, the storyline captures my attention and glues me to the screen. In the beginning, five high school students with nothing in common face spending a Saturday in detention together in their high school library. Detention starts out kind of rocky at first. The students see each other as different and make judgements based on social statuses. As the movie progresses, the students start to open up to one another. Allison is a compulsive liar and craves attention because she feels invisable. Brian and Claire are ashamed of their virginity. Andrew even tells his classmates the real reason he is in detention. Later, it is also discovered that each person in the group has a strained relationship with at least one of their parents. I think that the storyline shows that Andrew is right, “We’re all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that’s all.”-Andrew (The Jock), The Breakfast Club.…
