When people think about the color yellow they usually associate it with positive things, such as sunshine and happiness, but in The Great Gatsby it is quite the contrary. (“Color Symbolism and Culture”).Yellow is used to symbolize falseness. It is similar in color to gold, only less shiny and inexpensive. But no matter how hard it tries, yellow can never truly pass for gold. (“Examples of the Symbolism of Colors in “The Great Gatsby”). Characters in the Great Gatsby who are surrounded by yellow…
Chapter Three I was on the plane to London; we had a couple of hours left till we arrived. Goodbye America, Hello London. I laid back; I was in the middle of Liam and Niall. I felt…safe. Niall nudged my arm, I looked at him. “Do you need something Niall?” I yawn. “Yeah actually, I need to take a selfie with you.” I smile at how stupid it sounded. “Sure, why not.” He gets his phone out and takes a picture. I do a peace sign with a face. Niall makes a weird face. I giggle. Niall looked at me…
In the essay the author’s thesis is that the pentangle is directly juxtaposed with the green girdle and that the transition from the pentangle to the girdle represents Gawain’s transition from “the emblematic world of the pentangle into one of opinion and uncertainty” (Ralph 3) so therefore the “pentangle, the emblem of a world where meaning is clear and exemplary, becomes replaced by an object, the girdle, to which meaning must be assigned” (Ralph 2). The author supports her thesis by stating…
I’ll take Grammar Geek. I’ll take Grammar Mistress. Heck, I’ll even accept Grammar Dominatrix if you’re feeling saucy. I’ll be the Sheriff of Grammartown, flashing my badge as a card-carrying member of the Grammar Police. But please, can we possibly stop comparing people who prefer that you choose the correct form of “there”, “their”, or “they’re” with genocidal maniacs who tried to wipe an entire race of people, along with several other groups, off the face of the Earth? Conflating the desire…

What does all of the eagles features symbolize about our nations history. The olive branch suggested by the second committee whose designs had female figures representing Peace…
the color red? For most people, they immediately think of blood.With all of its negative connotation, when it's spilled, or somebody is dead. Blood can be scary, even terrifying. It can also be beautiful though, as we see in "The Scarlet Ibis." There is a lot of association with the color red in this story. The "bleeding tree" makes us automatically think of red.The ibis found in the backyard itself is red, and the bush which Doodle dies beneath is red. When Doodle is born his body is "red." For…
While Fitzgerald uses green to symbolise the character Gatsby and his inner feelings, Hawthorne uses the red and yellow garments that Pearl, Hester Prynne’s daughter must wear, effectively demonstrating that Prynne and Pearl are symbolic of her same sin. An example of this is in Chapter 7, when Hester “in contriving the child’s garb, had allowed the gorgeous tendencies of her imagination their full play; arraying her in crimson velvet tunic, of a peculiar cut, abundantly embroidered with…

Green is proven to be the most calming color in the world. To represent neutrality and agree-ability in a way that just soothes someone down. It’s the color of fresh silk like grass, the outer shell of the most satisfying apple; the color of covetous money. How incredibly ironic that a color that is seen in such an evenhanded way is the color of something that can cause the opposite of an agreeable situation, the almighty dollar. Money does anything but create neutral and calming encounters, it…
