the story of an hour and the yellow wallpaper analysisAsheigh Johnson
The document summarizes and analyzes two short stories: "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin. Both stories portray women in the 19th century struggling against the social norms and expectations of the time that restricted women's freedom and autonomy. In "The Yellow Wallpaper," a woman is confined by her husband's "rest cure" treatment for postpartum depression and descends into madness. In "The Story of an Hour," a woman feels joyful at believing her husband has died, seeing it as a chance at freedom from her marriage. The document examines themes of gender roles, women's oppression, and the symbolic elements in the two stories.
The document discusses color terminology and color theory. It explains that red, yellow, and blue are the primary colors from which all other colors are derived. The secondary colors of orange, green, and purple are created by mixing two primary colors. Tertiary colors are made from mixing a primary and secondary color adjacent on the color wheel. Color schemes include monochromatic using tones of one color, analogous using neighboring colors, complementary using opposite colors, triadic using three colors equally spaced, split-complementary, and achromatic using black, white and grays. Understanding color properties like hue, value, warmth and coolness is important for successful color combinations.
This summary analyzes Kate Chopin's short story "Désirée's Baby." It provides background on the plot, including that Désirée is adopted as a baby and grows up to marry a plantation owner named Armand. They have a baby, but Armand rejects the child and Désirée when the baby is discovered to have African features, blaming Désirée's heritage. It is later revealed that Armand himself has black ancestry, through a letter from his mother. Désirée leaves Armand and returns to her adopted family.
The transcendental movement was a philosophical movement that emphasized spiritual matters over religious doctrine and institutionalized church. It focused on intuition, inspiration, and spiritual truths that transcend normal human experience. The movement was centered in New England in the 1830s-1840s and was inspired by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Major figures included Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Emerson's works Nature and Self-Reliance were influential texts. Thoreau took transcendental ideals further in works like Walden and Civil Disobedience. Longfellow also incorporated transcendental themes though he was less radical. The movement opened new discussions around spirituality, knowledge, and the American experience
Design principles and color presentationkmcintyre3
This document provides information about design basics, color theory, and color schemes. It discusses the CRAP principles of design - contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity. It then covers color theory, including the color wheel, primary/secondary/tertiary colors, color relationships, warm and cool colors, and how colors evoke feelings. Examples are given of how colors are implemented. Hex values for colors are also explained. The document concludes by discussing tools for selecting color schemes like Adobe Kuler and assigning a project to create color schemes for a website redesign.
George Orwell was an author deeply interested in social problems who believed writers had a responsibility to engage with and respond to what was happening around them. His dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, set in a future totalitarian society in 1984, portrayed a frightening vision of a world without freedom, privacy, or independent thought where even language is controlled and distorted to manipulate people. The protagonist Winston Smith tries to rebel against the oppressive dictatorship through love and memory but is ultimately broken physically and mentally by the overwhelming power of the totalitarian state embodied by Big Brother. Orwell aimed to warn readers about the dangers of dictatorship, lack of freedom, and how power could be used to control thought and distort language.
Simone de Beauvoir was a French philosopher, author, and feminist. She was born in Paris in 1908 and spent most of her life there. She studied philosophy at the Sorbonne and became involved with Jean-Paul Sartre. Her 1949 book The Second Sex established her as a founder of feminist existentialism and challenged patriarchal views of women. It analyzed how women are socially constructed as "other" and subordinate to men. Though initially controversial, it came to be seen as a seminal text of second-wave feminism. De Beauvoir argued that women should strive for equality and have the freedom to define themselves rather than be defined by others.

Langston Hughes was a prominent figure of the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s known for using jazz and black folk rhythms in his poetry depicting the urban African American experience. He wrote over 60 books in many genres including his famous 1925 poem "I, Too" expressing his feelings about racism through vivid imagery. The poem reveals how America covers up racial discrimination problems while Hughes wants to convey the importance of racial equality and serve as a voice for his people. Hughes had a significant influence on the Civil Rights movement through his ability to persevere despite unequal conditions in America as depicted in his works.
This document discusses various techniques used to convey depth perception and motion in visual communications. It describes techniques such as linear perspective, size differences, lighting, and interposition that can create an illusion of depth. It also discusses how motion can be simulated through techniques like sequential images to leverage the persistence of vision, as well as how eye movement and positioning of graphic elements can direct a viewer's eyes. The document explores the history of concepts like stereoscopic images, motion pictures, and how still images can imply motion through techniques like those used in cave drawings.
Long Day's Journey Into Night As A Tragedy NiyatiVyas
This document provides an analysis of Eugene O'Neill's play "Long Day's Journey into Night" as a tragedy. It defines tragedy and notes that the play, about a family's decline, is considered one of the finest American plays of the 20th century. The document argues that while some debate whether it is truly a tragedy, the play's characters and ending, which leave the audience with catharsis, depict a fall from grace, making it a tragedy according to the characteristics of the genre.
The document provides an overview of basic color theory, including:
1) It defines color as the reflection of light wavelengths and describes white as reflecting all wavelengths and black as absorbing all wavelengths.
2) It explains that the color spectrum results from breaking white light into its component wavelengths and describes primary, secondary, and tertiary colors.
3) It outlines properties of color like hue, value, and intensity, and describes how to create and mix colors using pigments.
4) It discusses color schemes and relationships between colors on the color wheel like complementary, analogous, split-complementary, and warm/cool colors.
The document discusses the color wheel and different types of colors. It explains that primary colors cannot be made from any other colors and are equally spaced on the wheel. Secondary colors are made by mixing two primary colors and are found between those colors. Tertiary colors are made from primary and secondary colors. The color wheel also shows complementary color schemes which use colors directly across from each other for high contrast effects, as seen in works by Van Gogh and Monet.
This document discusses how different colors can affect mood. It presents surveys showing most people prefer light colors over dark, and how colors like red, yellow, green and blue make people feel. Red may increase heart rate while yellow enhances concentration. Green is calming and blue is peaceful. Black can feel overpowering or sad. The document hypothesizes that color wavelengths interact with hormones to change mood, and colors evoke memories from past experiences. While reactions vary between individuals, colors generally have subtle effects on human psychology and emotion.
Bleak House is a novel by Charles Dickens that critiques the English legal system and society of the time. It follows two plots around the legal case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce, which highlights the inefficiencies of the Court of Chancery. The novel also depicts the bleak living conditions of the working class through characters like Jo. Through its use of fog, symbols, and multiple narrators, Bleak House comments on the social problems and injustices of mid-19th century England.
This document provides an overview of colour theory, including definitions of primary, secondary, and tertiary colours; complementary colours; saturation and value; warm and cool colours; colour harmonies like monochromatic, analogous, and split complementary; and concepts like simultaneous contrast, tonality, and emotional responses to colour. It also lists several artists and artworks as examples.
The document discusses key concepts in color theory including hue, value, saturation, primary colors, secondary colors, tertiary colors, complementary colors, analogous colors, and warm and cool colors. It defines hue as the name of a color, value as how light or dark a color appears, and saturation as the level of white or black mixed in. Primary colors are those that can't be created by mixing others, while secondary colors result from mixing two primaries and tertiary colors mix a primary and secondary. Complementary colors sit opposite each other on the color wheel, and analogous colors are neighboring hues that share a central color.
This document discusses color theory and lighting in photography. It defines key lighting terms like white balance, golden hour, and diffuser. It explains the color tints of different light sources like daylight, household lamps, and street lights. It describes the Purkinje effect where eye perception of color changes from day to night. Finally, it discusses how different colors like red, blue, yellow, purple, green, and orange can impact moods and emotions in photographs.
Colors can affect us physically and mentally. Red can raise blood pressure while blue has a calming effect. The color of an object is determined by the wavelength of light it reflects. There are various color schemes that can create harmonious combinations, such as monochromatic using different shades of one color, analogous using neighboring colors, complementary pairing opposite colors, triadic using three colors in an equilateral triangle, split complementary combining a color with those adjacent to its complement, rectangle combining two complementary pairs, and square spacing four colors evenly. Proper use of color schemes can produce pleasing visual effects.
The document discusses color theory, including Newton's discovery that white light is made up of the visible light spectrum, and the subtractive and additive color mixing methods. It explains Johannes Itten's color wheel and the qualities of hue, value and saturation. It also defines primary, secondary, complementary, warm, cool colors and different color schemes such as monochromatic, analogous, triadic and tetradic.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote "The Yellow Wallpaper" in 1890 to highlight the lack of autonomy that women faced in 19th century society and the potential damage to their mental and physical health. The story follows a woman confined by her physician husband to a room with yellow wallpaper who descends into madness. She becomes obsessed with the pattern of the wallpaper and believes a woman is trapped within. In the climax, she tears down the wallpaper in a rebellion against her confinement and societal expectations of women.
The document discusses color and how humans perceive it. It explains that 80% of the brain processes visual information and that color affects emotions. It then defines color and describes the primary colors of red, yellow and blue and how secondary and intermediate colors are formed by mixing primaries. The color wheel is introduced along with concepts of hue, saturation, value, tints tones and shades. Complimentary and analogous color schemes are defined with examples provided.
This document discusses color theory and the basics of working with pigments and dyes. It explains that primary colors are those that cannot be created by mixing other colors, and they can be used to make all other colors. Secondary colors are created by mixing equal parts of two primary colors, and tertiary colors are made by mixing a primary and a secondary color. The color wheel is used to visualize the relationships between colors, including complementary colors that are directly across from each other and contrasting versus harmonic color pairs. Other concepts covered include warm and cold colors, color saturation, value, and applying color theory principles to landscapes.
Color theory has been described easily with pictures & related information.The slide contains info about color, color wheel, hue, color scheme, & mixing theory .
The document discusses the principles of design including balance, rhythm, proportion, contrast, unity, and variety. It defines each principle and provides examples. Balance can be formal, with symmetrical halves, or informal with asymmetric but visually balanced elements. Rhythm guides the eye across the page through repeated elements. Proportion concerns the size relationship between elements based on their importance. Contrast creates interest through differences in elements. Unity deals with the harmonious relationship of all elements to effectively communicate the message. Variety adds interest but too much can be chaotic. Good planning and following guidelines for the audience ensures a quality design.
The document discusses various aspects of color including:
1) Warm colors like red and yellow are engaging while cool colors like blue are relaxing. Neutral colors like gray are tranquil but may feel boring.
2) A color wheel organizes primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Hue, value, and intensity describe the characteristics of different colors.
3) Different color schemes can be created including monochromatic, analogous, and complementary combinations. Proper use of color impacts the mood and perception of a space.
