Like Platos cave the cinema is dark where we are transfixed by mere images that are removed from reality. Watch images that are projected onto a screen. Images are copies of the real things outside the cinema. Highly realistic images vs the cave shadows. We are prisoners as we are prevented from grasping the true order of things by the limits of everyday experience‚ the limits of out ordinary conception

My Favorite Picture The picture that I am writing about probably the only picture that is my favorite with all my close cousins together‚ has more meaning than it seems. At first‚ it appears to be nothing more than a happy get-together party of all young adults‚ from the ages of eighteen to twenty four. In the background one can see a swimming pool. My cousins who are kneeling on the bottom row are Priyanka (who is affectionately known as Giraffe because she is the tallest girl in our family)

When you are old and gray and full of sleep And nodding by the fire‚ take down this book‚ And slowly read‚ and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once‚ and of their shadows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace‚ And loved your beauty with love false or true; But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you‚ And loved the sorrows of your changing face. And bending down beside the glowing bars‚ Murmur‚ a little sadly‚ how love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead‚ And hid

That’s why we may say that the artist used such a title not only to paint the Black sea‚ or it can not be the Black sea at all‚ but to show us the darkness of the heavy sea. The painting makes an emotional influence on me. The overall mood of the painting is mysteriousness‚ it seems like something will appear from the

everything in just two shades is ludicrous. Baba often sees the world in black and white‚ he does not believe a gray area exists. He tells Amir‚ “there is only one sin‚ only one. And that is theft.
