First off, I will explain why I have chosen the pictures on my collage. One of the most important pictures is of the maze, or the labyrinth, which represents the line, “How will we ever get out of this labyrinth of suffering?” that Alaska Young often uses. As the labyrinth is a symbol for life, we see her escape the labyrinth when she dies in a car accident. Another very meaningful symbol is the question mark on my collage that represents “the Great Perhaps”, or a defining moment in life,…
And, they also help the viewer grasp the intended message easier. Without the pictures, the video would be bland. Each of the pictures correspond to the words written across the scene. Notably, the picture of the dandelion being blown apart relates to Finny’s dreams being torn apart after breaking his leg. And, gears only turn if another gear is attached to it, therefore that scene is used to show Finny’s codependency on Gene. Also, to display identity crisis, a man with a question mark and a face with a finger print is used. The intent for the illustrations is for viewers to connect them to the…
THESIS: The two short stories, "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson and "The Rocking Horse Winner" by D. H. Lawrence both use symbols to help the reader understand the theme of the story; however the themes of both stories were completely different, one about love the other the lack of love.…
Using imagery is a smart way to engage an audience and keep someone on their seat to keep reading. Tim O'Brien uses imagery to connect and entertain his audience in an effective way. “..not love letters, but Lieutenant Cross was hoping, so he kept them folded in plastic... after a day's march, he would dig his foxhole, wash his hands under a canteen, unwrap the letters, hold them with the tips of his fingers, and spend the last hour of light pretending.. He wanted Martha to love him as he loved her” (1). This quote gives the reader evidence that imagery can create a new picture and really help you understand a story in a deeper level. This is more suitable than using facts because using facts can not create a vivid, lasting picture in the reader’s mind.…
Despite the bleak illustrations, at the heart of the story is the message that hope springs eternal. Hope is characterized throughout by the shining beacon of a red leaf, that often flutters in the margins of Tan's austere landscapes.…
Many artists apply rhetorical devices to their paintings in order to portray an important message. In this painting by Frances Stephenson Orr, she depicts her life through surrealistic symbolism and imagery to make the viewer understand her struggle and pain as well as her faith.…
Good morning/afternoon class and maim, I am here today to demonstrate my understanding of the concept of distinctively visual, through an analysis of the relationship between Henry Lawson’s short story ‘The Drover’s Wife’ , with a strong, courageous and determined woman that deals with the severe, unmerciful Australian outback. The painting ‘Battling Bushfires by the Alan J. Benge in 2007 illustrates a woman, face to face fighting against a bushfire encroaching on her land. Another Henry Lawson short story “The Loaded Dog” is about a dog that innocently takes a stick of dynamite, sparking it as he runs past the camp fire, then tries to play with it and in fear, everyone that runs away, and thirdly, James Reeves “The Sea”, a poem that creates an extended metaphor of a dog, which illustrates the change of behaviour of both a dog and the sea.…
What images are juxtaposed? Give examples and explain how this is effective in emphasizing the theme of the poem.…
Donald Justice does a very good job of using imagery to portray events in his poems. In “First Death” he describes the death and wake of his grandmother. One quote that really affected me was “Powder mixed with a drying paste” as I remember the makeup that my late great-grandmother wore. In “Absences” he describes the emptiness of a snow-stricken day. This poem is rather gloomy in tone, as it…

Poetry can be a healing process, putting down on paper all the profound expanses locked up inside ones head, a way of remembering and a way of re-living. It has many forms from free verse, to sonnet, but all poems tell a story, a story of words, words wrapped around each other in such a way that they flow together, locked in meaning, creating a mystical world full of images, images that provoke emotion and connections that cannot be created in any other way; it is “anything and everything that affect’s ones emotions” (Nadain, 2002. P.31). In this anthology, I have carefully selected poems that give examples of how poets use images…
