It consists of both rectilinear and organic designs when taking the ring as a circle, and the designed frame as a rectangle into consideration. The Ring is completely symmetrical, showcasing expert craftsmanship in the arrangement of the balanced pearls all around the ring and symmetric angles of the box proportions. Even the small figure in the ring is symmetrical, possessing realistic qualities and life-like body proportions. Additionally, the circlet of the ring itself is also unique. The goldsmith displayed his incredible craftsmanship of the ring by designing the piece with two rounded indentations towards the back of the ring. This technique presents the incredible handiwork that went into the creation of this ring. This Franco-Netherlandish item depicts a realistic image as the subject of the work. Engraved in gold, a small male figure is depicted. He is wearing a small hat, clasping his hands in a very satisfied way. His stance is very casual with his left knee bent forward almost in an excited or anxious way. He is dressed in what seems to be lavish attire, and most definitely does not represent a poor man. A long, rectangular box frames the figure, outlined in gold and filled in with rich, glossy, red-enamel. Surrounding the frame as well as the rest of the setting of the ring are large, dazzling pearls. Above and below the rectangular frame, a large

Literature enlightens human beings about profound life lessons and the complexities of human interactions. In the fictional novel, "The Outsiders," by S.E. Hinton, the protagonist, Ponyboy Curtis, undergoes a multitude of traumatic experiences that change his life forever. Through elaborate direct and indirect characterization and symbolism, S.E.

The value of friendship and gang loyalty, staying true to oneself, and closing the gap between the rich (Socs) and poor (greasers) are among the most significant themes that the author wants readers to learn from and apply in life.
As a young adult, it is difficult to grow up without parents and still be tough and brave. In addition, teens can be emotional and overreact at times.

S.E. Hinton’s realistic fiction novel, The Outsiders, takes place in Tulsa, Oklahoma-where social divisions is the cause of all their problems. Ponyboy, a Greaser, lives in a society where you’re either socially accepted or not. He isn’t as privileged or lucky as the Socs and isn’t socially accepted. Ponyboy and his gang have to endure rude treatment, beatings, and being outcasted. One lesson the story suggests is to stay gold. While some readers believe this means to be who you are and not let others hurt you, I argue that this means to preserve your childhood innocence and not grow up to become a mature, cranky old man, but stay pure and innocent. This is indicated by Hinton’s use of characterization, dialogue, and conflict.

Inside Out is a Disney-Pixar film in which a girl, Riley Anderson has her entire world flipped upside down when her father’s job forces them to relocate from Minnesota to San Francisco. Disney worked with scientists to make this as realistic as possible, it is still readerly. There is no room for interpretation of the movie, even if someone noticed something new about it each time they watched, it would still be the same. Regardless of it’s readerly nature, I enjoyed this movie more compared to other Disney movies that are the run of the mill love story.

This dented, imperfect circle fits loosely, and comfortably which allows for the constant usage and handling. It has a unique, and undefined shape that compliments the small circles within the accessory. There is a band of a perfect line of small circles that runs infinite in the exact middle of the accessory. The thirteen small circles sit in the small seats of metal all in unison and order. Sharp, pointed tips that look like the top of a vintage castle, pull the pendants on the outsides of the line, up and back down. If you cut the jewel in half, the sides are
