Individuals are often faced with many situations in their life where self-interest forces them to pursue their happiness when nobody empathizes with them when they need it. In the picture, by David S. Waltz, a girl is standing alone and she is separating herself from the crowd in order to pursue her self-interests and happiness. The girls in the back are laughing at her and they don’t empathize with her because they don’t know her past. Furthermore, it can be inferred that the future of the girl (standing alone) is about change and happiness is about to arrive into her life. David S. Waltz develops the idea that when people don’t empathize with the individuals, they pursue their self-interests in order to achieve success and happiness.

The girl is from a poor background where she didn’t have enough resources to succeed in life and she made efforts to in order to succeed in life. It is evident as the girls in the background are laughing at her and they aren’t known to her background. So, they aren’t empathizing with her, but they are mocking. In the picture, the girls in the background have all the resources such as bags, nice clothes, jewelry, however, the girl in the front has nothing but some old clothes. This describes her background. The girls are mocking her because she doesn’t have those luxury items, and as a result they are not sympathizing with them. It is visible that the girl standing in the front is not content with her current life as her face expressions make it apparent. She doesn’t have a smile on her face; moreover, her eyes are expressive as they are dark and moody which helps in emphasizing her feelings about her current life. Furthermore, the climate highlights the current and the past circumstances as well since the climate is dry in the background, which is a symbol of rough patch in life. In dry climates, water is scarce and it is …show more content…
They have squinted eyes and they are judging her. Wanting to make a name for herself, the girl is moving forward in her life and as seen in the image, there are two images of her and one of them in front of the other. It is demonstrated that the girl has decided to let go of her past and pursue her self-interests. The girl has a bright future ahead of her, which is apparent by the image of the sun rising in the background and the sunlight is slowly coming towards her. In addition, the branches in the tree behind the girl are also rising a bit thus adding to idea that the girl’s time to shine is about to arrive. She must overcome the challenges imposed by the people and life upon her and it is conveyed through the climate in the background. In order to survive in the desert, one must have hope and the sun in the background highlights the hope. The rising sun explains that there is hope for the girl and she can achieve happiness. She doesn’t have to worry about the girls in the background and other people in life; she must pursue her self-interests because Spring, the season of rebirth and joy, comes after Autumn. She has been through a lot in her life and even the nature (sun) wants her to achieve a better life. Because she has separated herself from the crowd, she is pursuing her self-interests to succeed in
Do traffic signals make a difference when drivers are conducting their vehicles? In U.K. the roads have less signs and are smaller roads than in the United States. The United States has great amounts of traffic signals and symbols all over the road to make the driver more aware. In the U.K. accidents do occur but not that often has in the United States. In the Unites States every second there is huge amounts of accidents going on over the nation. John Staddon in his magazine article “Distracting Miss Daisy” tries to persuade that traffic control is making traffic more dangerous because we do not pay attention to the road, but to the signals.
In their article, Students Step up to Lead Tech Implementation at Their Elementary School, Taryn Handlon and Tiffany Costa write about how TechXpert all started with an idea for prominent engagement. The Roosevelt Elementary School in Park Ridge, Illinois, had begun implementing new tools such as Chromebooks, Spheros, Dash and Dots, Cubelets, Snap Circuits, Osmos, Marble Mazes and a 3D printer to the classrooms, which highlighted the schools desire to collaborate technology with learning. This would not only transform the whole classroom environment, but also open the door for young students to explore computer science and technical engineering. The only issue seemed to be that teachers had no time to educate themselves on the tools and how
Everyone that is living in the world we live in today are all making their best efforts to obtain that which we all want the most, happiness. Many individuals will pursue that happiness, while others manage to compromise that happiness. Everyone has their own methods at trying to achieve happiness, but sometimes they just cannot pursue it and when they realize that what they want, they cannot have. Their happiness will become compromised. When at the same time some individuals can pursue that happiness and achieve what they truly want in life. Other times those who pursue their happiness, end up compromising their happiness in the process. The image “New York, ca. 1962” can be shown to prove what an
When you see a solider in his or her uniform, you are proud that they are serving this country to protect our freedom, securing our country, and defending democracy worldwide. The solider can come from different branches of the Military. The one you might be familiar with is the U.S. Army. These soldiers are well respected and prepared to serve our country whenever and wherever needed, combat-ready at all times, and trained to counter any threat, anywhere. In 2007, the United States Army department published a recruitment ad for U.S.
The situation being emphasized by Mr. Smith is from his own experiences as a child. He tells us not how to raise a black child or how not to even, he was criticizing the situations he grew up in which made his parents and every other parent of a black family raise their children the way they did. The fear that the society doesn’t accept the life of their children and will try and crush it out of them is so high that, all of them eventually end up raising their children in a protective environment by constantly warning them of the dangers of the world, which may make the children realize that the world may not accept them the way they are.
Week three’s devotional really touched me. Many people think they can do everything on their own, that they do not need God in their life. I feel that we all need God to help us get through the challenges in our lives, so we can grow and learn from those challenges. John 14:26 says, “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you” (NASB). John 14:26 supports my feelings when it comes to needing God, as He will teach us.
After the calibration process, along with juxtaposing the current timed write to my prior rhetorical analysis response, I now further comprehend my strengths and weaknesses as a writer. My introduction paragraph has grown immensely in terms of my ability to fully express the topic which I will address in response to the prompt. In my timed write, I open with a strong thesis statement in which I expeditiously identify the main theme of the following speech as “the severe lack of labor laws.” Although this is the paramount topic, I failed to address the underlying theme of women's rights used by Florence Kelley to justify her view on labor laws while serving to strategically juxtapose the violation of women's rights and the infringement faced
In the online article found on the CNN website titled, “U.S gun violence: The story in charts and graphs” the article provides the readers with multiple graphs from bar graphs to pie charts. The graph I will be looking at critically is titled “Firearm background checks by months since 2012.” It’s important to note that this article was written in December of 2015. For this reason, the graph stops on December 2015. Before providing the graph to its readers the author states that the year of 2015 was “was a record year for background checks on guns. Some have pointed out the requests for background checks have gone up after mass shootings, the idea being that shootings cause people to worry about their safety and buy a gun to protect themselves.”
The art of quoting and summarizing an argument is one of the main skills to acquire when it comes to writing a successful piece of work. In the book, They Say I Say the art of inserting quotations is mentioned to be one of the highest mistakes made by writers. Many insert a quote that has no frame of introduction or background information which is considered a “hit and run quote.” Readers need to be able to comprehend not only the writings, but the background information and quotes from another author writing in order to have the whole work cohesive. Dire necessity for the writer is to go back to the initial text and truly understand the background from which they are quoting to make sure their audience understands the quote and why
Nat Turner: Mr. Garrison I do wish I could agree, but few of these men (looking down at Fitzhugh and calhoun) have shown no respect for god.
In “Bring Back Flogging”, Jeff Jacoby addresses the problems within America 's criminal justice system. He gives many reasons why imprisonment simply does not work, and suggests that corporal punishment should be used as an alternative. Published in the Boston Globe, a newspaper well known for being liberal, Jacoby provides a conservative view and directs his argument towards those who strongly support imprisonment and view corporal punishment to be highly barbaric and inhumane. However, in order to shed light on our current situation, Jacoby discusses the dangers that we face though our criminal justice system a nd shows concern that imprisonment is doing more harm than good. In effect, Jacoby looks to the past for solutions, and
This photograph encapsulates the theme 'coming of age' through the identification of it's visual techniques. The use of contrast, light and darkness give an eerie and mysterious atmosphere revolving around the stages of youth. The main focus is the lady, her gaze and position is towards the playground as she is in deep thought. The expression in her eyes are full of wonder and appears as if she's asking herself questions. Maybe about her past, current time or her future. Her stance looks relaxed and her emotion is calm, like she is reflecting. You look at the child and compare the differences between both subjects; their clothes, appearance and personalities. You see the change. The graffiti on playground is like a symbol of rebelliousness,
In response to Geoffrey Shepherd's article “It’s clear the US should not have bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki”. Shepard tries to pull us into his claim by using pathos, logos, and ethos. He uses estimates of 500,000 Japanese soldiers died from the atomic bomb. Then Geoffrey begins to state that we had an alternative spot to drop the bombs, the alternate spot we could’ve dropped the bomb would have been Tokyo Bay. It was idle and estimated that less lives would’ve been taken and would showed more of a threat to the Japanese leaders.
The middle of the image drawn between oval mirror and the girl act like a barrier between a woman's desire and her limitations portraying woman as lover, and the face painted in pale white, and dark yellow color used for the head describes the power of a woman sometime called as the energy circles. The belly between the reflection in the oval mirror and the girl
But logic and experience remind us that life doesn't really work that way. Happiness and depression are still pretty much a mystery. I know that this is not supposed to be a philosophical paper or a place to expressed an existential crisis, but I have started my essay this way with a goal in mind: to introduce to you the topic I have focused
