Humans are social creatures allowing our brain to attach feelings or ideas to inanimate objects. A study by psychologists Fritz Heider and Mary-Ann Simmel depicts a couple shapes moving about the screen, as humans we personify these shapes and give them feelings yet they are nothing but shapes. This essay is about me and how the colour green and it's personified attributes connect to me. Green is a colour often associated with the mind, like being inventive and analytical. This essay will cover how both those words apply to the very first two things typed onto this page. Being inventive and creative is something I have pride in because being able to create things with my hands is incredibly satisfying, when I finish some art I can look at
One mass killing can change a town, in 1958 a change happened. In January 1958, Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate went on a three-day murder spree, killing ten people. Charles and Caril were dating at the time, he was 19 and she was 14. Caril believes that she was a hostage and did not help Charles kill those people, but the truth is unknown. Charles Starkweather and Caril started a fire, but nobody knows if Caril helped or was a hostage.
When dealing with Non-Fiction and Memoir it is imperative to realize that no two authors will approach telling their story in the same manner. Elie Weisel and Charlotte Delbo, two survivors of Auschwitz, both chose to write their Memoir as testimonials of their experiences. Despite sharing a method of testimonial and similar experiences in their stories, the two finished pieces are nearly entirely different. This paper will focus on Elie Weisel’s method of reporting his experiences to the reader, as opposed to a brief discussion on Delbo who tends to reflect. The scene of focus in the comparison and contrast will be the arrival scene as the authors enter into Auschwitz. This is a universal scene that would have been similar for everyone that entered into the camp, so it is what I call a unique shared experience, as everyone’s experiences will of course vary. But, aside from being a common experience it is also a common primary reflective moment that both authors spend quite a bit of time discussing.
YES: Michael Mortimore and Mary Tiffen, from “Population and Environment in Time Perspective: The Machakos Story,” People and Environment in Africa (1995) To understand why Thomas Conelly and Miriam Chaiken takes an opposite view on the same issue comparing to Mortimore and Mary Tiffen is their educational background. Conelly and Chaiken are professors of anthropology, whereas Mortimore and Tiffen are concentrated on geography and historian respectively. Therefore Mortimore and Tiffen tend to look at the same issue through different angle taking into account historical and sociological perspective; and concentrating on endogenous reasons (how people interacted), rather than from exogenous side (simply analyzing Machakos habitat). They believe
My creativity enables me to see things in a different way, a way that may make things simpler or makes them go smoother. I am also very willing to try new ideas as I like to hear what others have to suggest. For example, something may not be working out the way that it was meant to and I can accept that and try any new ideas brought up to me. Listening is also important because someone may point out something that I never realized, and criticism goes along with that. I can take criticism well, and I even encourage it. I am always looking to better myself and it helped build me into the musician and person I am today. Furthermore, I do not fear making mistakes. Mistakes are how we learn, and we will never get anywhere if mistakes are never made.
Blue is not just a colour, rather, the colour blue is a way of life. In her essay ‘Bluets’ Maggie Nelson digs with her emotions to capture the colour blue through different perspectives of her experiences. Nelson writes 240 fragments of a collection of images to analyze and reflect on the physical colour of blue, and the feeling she encounters when she writes about her search for inspiration. She does a great job giving readers an insight in her journey finding research with colour blue and its impact her experiences. Thus, Nelson finds a relationship with the colour blue using specific details from her observation. She explores her ideas analyzing the way blue is a physical colour in objects and the way blue describes her feelings. Furthermore,
Hugh Marston Hefner was born in Chicago on April , 16, 1926, the first son of Glenn Lucius Hefner and Grace Caroline Hefner. Both of his parents worked as teachers and were from Nebraska. His mother was of Swedish decent, and his father was English and German ancestry. Hefner claimed that through his father’s blood line he was a direct descendent of distinguished Massachusetts Puritan patriarchs William Bradford and John Winthrop. Hugh had a younger brother who was born in 1929, named Keith. Hefner’s family was described as conservative and Protestant, certainly ironic for what Hugh’s life later unfolded into. He went to Sayre Elementary School and then Steinmetz High on the West Side of Chicago, where he was no more than an average
Sharon Olds and Linda Pastan are renowned post-modernistic poets who aptly portray domestic life based on their perceived ideas of women in the home and personal family experiences. Sharon Olds refuses to give details about her personal life, but her poems appear to be autobiographical in nature (Encyclopedia of Women’s Autobiography credoreference.com). In this week’s poems Sharon Olds explores motherhood (herself and her mother), sexuality, and a not so fond memory of her father. Olds’ references to motherhood in the poems, this week would lead the reader to feel that she had a fair relationship with her mother, which translated to her having a meaningful relationship with her children.
Miriam Korber and Alice Ehrmann have many similarities as far as their experiences during the Holocaust. They both see unthinkable horrors in the form of “hunger, cold, illness, filth, death, humiliation, and despair” (Korber 245). Unlike the six million Jews killed by the Holocaust, Alice and Miriam both survive, which led me to examine how their different experiences and personalities help them survive. They both face their emotions directly and use their diaries to vent which may be part of the reason they survive. On the other hand, Anne Frank always has hope and is naive to some of the horrors that others are experiencing. In this horrible time Anne Frank has privilege compared to Miriam and Alice who don’t have a support system or
As we all know, color is the voice for the artist 's sentiment. It makes up the appearance of a picture. Color is the decisive factor in depths of the two-dimensional plane of the artwork, making the viewer feel physically and mentally attracted, or the context of things - the phenomenon the author wants to present. Colors have been around for a long time, but there is not a common definition for colors. And perhaps humans are one of the luckiest creatures that can identify colors. Often, the recipient 's eye knows a myriad of colors and colors that always change based on the relationship between light and perspective. In art, color creates a sense of
Creativity is also something I am great at, including coming up with spectacular ideas to contribute to the school. I’m also responsible and don’t slack off whenever I get the chance.
These are the ways I used colors to develop the feelings that I wanted to
Most people do not see color as simply the way something looks, however. They tend to associate certain colors with specific feelings, emotions and memories. (Dmitrieva) For instance, blue is most commonly associated with “feeling blue” meaning one feels upset or depressed, however, blue is
In May 2015, Walt Disney Pictures released the film Inside Out. The film emphasizes the neuropsychological finding that human emotions affect interpersonal relationships. It shows how emotions work inside a person’s brain and at the same time how these emotions shape a person’s outer life (Keltner & Ekman, 2015). In this film, each character is represented by a colour With is conceptual metaphor theory (Lakoff and Johnson 1980) can be applied. As this representation works with the theory of conceptual metaphors. ‘Conceptual metaphors are metaphors that we have in our mind that allow us to produce and understand abstract concepts’ (Littlemore, 2008). The five main human emotions that are represented as characters inside an 11-year-old girl brain are: Joy represented as a glowing yellow; Anger as red; Disgust as green; and Fear as purple. The film was released all over the world, gaining positive reviews from many different cultures. With these positive reviews, the question is asked are colours-emotion metaphors universal? The purpose of this study is to test whether the cultural experiences of individuals result in different mental representations of colour-emotion metaphors. The colours black, white, red, yellow, and blue were looked at because they are primary colours and have more colour-emotion metaphors associated with them.
We name things and turn them into objects. When we hear an object’s name, we have an immediate picture of what “it” is. We project our thoughts onto the object and force it to be part of our experiences. Objects are given life through the human experience. The personification of these objects allows us to add our thoughts onto it. When we do this, we create a dependant entity. Humans force their lives and experiences onto the items, making them an extension of ourselves. Looking at the couch from an object point of view, most of us can relate to the use of a couch There is an image that pops into your head when you think about “a couch.” The noun “couch” somehow humanizes this object. You can put your own value to it and relate to it. You project your memories onto the couch. The couch in your own living room is given a personality through your thoughts of it. That couch could hold the memory of your first kiss, or it could hold the memory of your third break up. Objects create an engaging world. It makes us want to find out how everything feels. We want to give power to objects so that they can live just as we do. We enjoy give objects power, we make them come alive. We relate to them because we force our preconceived ideas onto them. Humans personify things because we want someone or something to feel the way we do. You give feelings to objects because
