Discrimination occurs when a person is treated less favourably because of their racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation. Jane Elliott decided to use role-play a situation portraying the discrimination that a person of different colour would be constantly exposed to in day-to-day life.…
In some parts of the narrative, Night, Wiesel used eyes to display the hope and positive emotion in characters. In the beginning of the story, eyes were used as an indication of Moche the Beadle’s calmness in the following quote. “I loved his great, dreaming eyes, their gaze lost in the distance” (Wiesel 13). The beadle, like his eyes, is peaceful as if he were in a dream. He has no worries and his gaze flows into the distance. Later in the story, after Moche escapes Hungarian police, his joy and peacefulness had disappeared. “Moche had changed. There was no longer any joy in his eyes” (Wiesel 16). This quote shows how Moche is now void of happiness and joy. His eyes, which once held tranquility, now hold nothing. In the following quote, eyes show how the prisoners were suddenly full of hope of being rescued when the camp was bombed. “We filled our lungs with the fire- and smoke-laden air, and our eyes shone with hope” (Wiesel 67-68). At that moment, every prisoner in Buna was completely full of hope of rescue and disregarded the air full of smoke. While eyes showed people’s hope, it also showed their feelings and ambition.…
Flannery O’Connor’s “Revelation” is a short story centered around racism and pride with several recurring images. The most important image pattern, however, is eyes. Even the title shows a relation to eyes, since a revelation is considered a ‘vision’. Mrs. Turpin’s eyes are the source of her arrogance and prejudice. Many other characters, including Mary Grace are defined by their eyes. Eyes are the window to the soul, and are how the reader comes to understand the characters better.…
Lindsay Kite wrote “Beauty Whitewashed” to provide readers with her personal interpretation of the “main stream beauty ideal.” Kite claims that the standard of beauty in America is restricted to Caucasians. Kite also touches on the subjects of skin tone, body weight and hair styles and what woman will do to achieve these aspects of beauty.…
The motif of eyes is first introduced in the opening scene when the viewer sees a person cutting out another’s eyes with a pair of scissors. In relation to the movie, the removal of eyes is the removal of one’s identity. Without their eyes, a person cannot…

Another notable symbol of this book would be the mirror, given to Elphaba as a child by Turtle Heart. Through this mirror, unlike the others, she is able to fully understand what she is seeing through the looking glass. As an adult she loses the ability to see such as she once did, and thinks, “Who do we ever see but ourselves, and that's the curse." (5.11.21)” Elphaba has become “blind” to what she could once see. However, Foster shows us that the…

“Dark They Were, and Golden- Eyed” written by Ray Bradbury is a short-science fiction story about Harry and his family moving to Mars and becoming Martians.

His decision to swim in the cool water of the canal was to reflect back on all the changes that have happened while living in Mars. Wind, sun, soil and water caused Harry to change from human to Martians.…
The photograph is colorful, but with limited types of color because the white color of the quilt occupies most space of the frame. In the form of the image, there are a myriad of dots in the bed heads, and the shape of flowers on the wall is irregular. For the depth, the image also provides the stark contrast between subjects and the background since the light intensity of four adults is stronger than that of the flowery wall. Besides, because the man exposes his nipples without covering with the…
(O.T. 159) The symbol of 3 even pertains to modern day fairytales/ folktales such as The Three Little Pigs, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and The Three Musketeers which can all connect with the reference to “power of three”. Though, to me, the number three represents an extreme sign of supernatural occurrences. Such situations when power of three appears, I believe it is too strong of a mere “coincidence” rather than a sign of fate or danger, part of the reason why I connect three to…
A laptop computer is a small, portable computer that is small enough to sit on a person’s lap. While the personal computer (PC) industry began in the early 1970’s, it was not until 1981that the first commercial portable computer “Osborne 1” -became available. The next big event in the history of laptops came in the summer of 1995, after which Microsoft and Intel became the standard for the software (Windows) and hardware (Intel processors), used in laptops.…

These aspects clearly prove the existence of Allah and exemplify the three basic concepts of Islamic Monotheism (Oneness of Allah), as mentioned earlier, which correlate with one another.…
10. So did (Allah) convey the inspiration to His Servant -- (conveyed) what He (meant) to convey. 11. The (Prophet's) (mind and) heart in no way falsified that which he saw. 12. Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he saw? 13. For indeed he saw him at a second descent. 14. Near the Lote-tree beyond which none may pass: 15. Near it is the Garden of Abode. 16. Behold, the Lote-tree was shrouded (in mystery unspeakable!) 17. (His) sight never swerved, nor did it go wrong! 18. For truly did he see, of the Signs of his Lord, the Greatest! 19. Have ye seen Lat, an Uzza, 20. And another, the third (goddess), Manat? 21. What! for you the male sex, and for Him, the female? 22. Behold, such would be indeed a division most unfair! 23. These are nothing but names which ye have devised -- ye and your fathers -- for which Allah has sent down no authority (whatever). They follow nothing but conjecture and what their own souls desire! -- even though there has already come to them Guidance from their Lord! 24. Nay, shall man have (just) anything he hankers after? 25. But it is to Allah that the End and the Beginning (of all things) belong.…
