to the characters, theme, and plot of Carver’s original work. In the film adaptation of the short story, “Why Don’t You Dance?” by Raymond Carver, Rush, while veering away from the original storyline and shedding a new light on the prominent theme of alcoholism, manages to successfully show just how this disease has the capability of ruining someone’s entire life.

A War Waging Within In the writing of a short story, especially regarding Ernest Hemingway’s writings, every word has meaning and purpose, creating a world inside a world deep beneath what the eye can see. Taking the story, Hills Like White Elephants, symbolism is used to thread this deep meaning from beginning to end, painting a grand image of the war within human nature in the midst of life altering decisions. Although it is a short story, the vastness of unseen truths is imminent. Through this
message is clear—buy these shoes. Whether or not that message is being conveyed in the most appropriate or effective ways is less to be desired for. The shoes are not even in the center of the picture, and in my opinion, the shoes are not the main focal point in the ad. Instead, the focus is on a woman leaning backwards on some sort of board with a very skimpy bikini bottom and loose top. She is holding a purse and has on several large bracelets, and is spraying a hose of some sort. But even all of

At the point where two or more reflections of the rays meet is where the image is created. A real image is one that is
message across that this was a dark time. The colors are very dark giving a sense, to me, of dread and death. The greys, black, and fleshy browns are very harmonious. Goya kept from using light colors expect for the focal points. In my opinion, there is more than one focal point or that the focal point is large, from Saturn’s face to the lifeless body. The corpse is hanging in Saturn’s tight grip is deathly white and has bright blood red where the head and arm had been. I think that is a symbol, the body
the back of the photograph. Emphasis can be placed on a certain subject by obscuring the foreground or background. There are three main features that can affect depth of field. Lens aperture (f-stop), distance from the camera to the subject, and the focal length of the lens (Heart 100). In order to understand depth of field one must first understand how light works. We can view objects because of light rays reflecting off their surfaces. These light rays are reflected in innumerable directions. In

Photography What is photography and how has it evolved? Photography has been around since 1000 A.D. The first camera was called a Pinhole Camera, invented by Alhazen in the 1500’s. “The exposure time on taking the photo was fifteen to twenty seconds in a sunny scene.” (Hawshaw 1) Photography was and is used to take family portraits and even for studies. Today with the power of digital photography any one can take one picture or one hundred. It’s only a click of a button away with today's cameras

Although the modern McDonald’s ad and the vintage McDonalds ad are both superior advertisements for McDonald’s, the vintage ad is better because it has a better focal point, theme, prominent element, artistic choices, and feeling or mood. In comparison to the new ad, the focal point is much better in the 1965 ad because it shows a clearer focal point. The first thing the viewers see in the old ad is the large McDonald’s sign and the classic car sitting in the parking lot. This could bring back memories
