Bill Lansford's The Rapidity Of Sleep

Bly’s underlying theme of “Waking from Sleep” is that memories are often left behind after a traumatic life event. Bly often writes about the world that is going on around him. In his work he is often persuaded by the events going on in the world around him. “Robert Bly has written poetry that is nonacademic, based in the natural world, the visionary, and the realm of

Red appears to dominate the painting and serves as an eye-catching color. The use of intensely saturated colors draws the attention to the front couple. Additionally, the red color plays with the mind of the onlooker without them thinking about it. It suggests deep passion, anger, and struggle. The artist intends to relay his feelings about the event to the viewer. His outlook consists of disgust towards the great depression that leaves many taken advantage of due to desperation.

I know that every art studio has its moments of being too messy, it’s just that all of the figures in the painting based on its mass, ended up being pushed into the right side of the painting which also caused the weight of the painting to be focused on the right side which in turn caused a lot of asymmetrical balance since both sides of the painting were never alike. Plus the movement of the right curtain in the piece made my eyes move diagonally towards the mask and other objects. The left curtain only pointed downward to the bottom left of the painting. What I did not understand however, was why the color red was the main color that was expressed in his artwork along with its different color values. Does it represent his anger by having an inner battle with himself or anger at his peers and critics for not supporting his new art

Insomnia is a common sleep disorder which makes falling asleep very hard, or cause you to stay up or wake up, or make you unable to get back to sleep. In addition, insomnia can deplete your energy and reduce disturb your mood. Moreover, it can spoil your work performance, health, and quality of life. Also, you may still suffer feeling tired and ruin your temper. when you wake up.

The use of poetic devices such as metaphor and personification are a distinctive feature of "sleep".

When comparing the two paintings ' style there are many similarities as Interrupted Sleep of the Rococo period came after the tail end of the Baroque period in which Merrymakers at Shrovetide was completed. Hals ' painting show 's well indulged and plump figures with fairly muted colors with some use of reds. It is a centrally planned composition with no landscape - only an endless crowd of merry men. The painting is also quite dark overall with nice value and shading, as the setting is in a tavern during the evening with little natural light. Although with Hals ' technique of using dashing brushstrokes, the painting appears as if it could come to life with its realistic rendering of the tavern scene. This technique goes unnoticed until one closes in upon the painting to view his actually brush strokes which could possibly even be counted.

Almost immediately, he apostrophizes sleep, personifying it, and proceeds to ask a number of questions to the newly-conceived entity; his inquiries, which are rhetorical in nature, question sleep’s reasoning behind his insomnia. These show up numerously and in quick succession, indicating that he does not understand his sleeplessness, and is pleading for answers out of desperation; however, he maintains a formal, non-accusatory tone when inquiring. This reserve, however, gradually deteriorates, and the strength of his hysteria takes control of his language at line 15, manifesting itself in the form of a breathless periodic sentence. The tension increases throughout the sentence, and breakless structure indicates that the King’s attitude is approaching emotional hysteria. He ends his monologue with a synecdoche, noting that “uneasy lies the head that wears a crown;” he himself is completely vexed by his current state. Ultimately, the syntax suggests that the attitude of the King is that of desperation; he pleads for answers, and his frustration mounts as any type of concrete explanation goes

his is a book of many virtues. It gives us an insider look at the birth of the sleep medicine specialty. It provides, in clear entertaining, first person-prose a first rate primer on the latest {"indings in sleep science. It speaks with the voice of a mature, humane, sane, and brilliant clinician. Most impressively it lays out in convincing detail the argument for the theory of the 24 mind. That theory, as I understand it, suggests that selected regions of the mind/brain are active and functional 24 hours a day. The

I did not sleep well as a child. When I closed my eyes, I was not inundated with calming thoughts, nor fantastical images, but rather assaulted by existential anxieties which coaxed me into undesired ruminations about my being. I believed falling asleep was tantamount to relinquishing control over my ephemeral existence, as there was no guarantee of awakening. I found myself clinging to the present to the detriment of the future, desperately eschewing its hastened arrival for fear that it would not include me in its progression. And yet, every night, hour by hour, I would find myself succumbing to the physical and mental manifestations of sleep deprivation. I would come to plead for the very loss of control that I so viscerally feared, as

This particular device was used to provoke interest and stimulate the audience through the process. Used to position the listener, the question does not intend an answer, but was rather used to emphasise the importance of sleep. To create interest for adolescents, I used a simile in the introduction: ‘busy as a bee’. This particular figure of speech was used to compare the busy life of a bee with the busy life of adolescents, in an entertaining context. To evoke interest on the audience, inclusive language such as ‘you’ll’ was incorporated to include personal interest. To engage the audience, I used the power of three: ‘restoring, repairing and revitalising’. This technique enticed the listener, creating strong connections to therefore position the listener to remember and recall the information obtained. Through the use of a hyperbole, I was able to achieve the intended purpose of exaggeration. For instance, ‘digging yourself an early grave’, enabled the piece to extract vivid exaggeration throughout the sentences used to create a stronger argument. This expository used the repetition of the word ‘death’ as this word is not usually associated with sleep, supporting an interesting and convincing

This chapter introduces us, first, to the dual-processing, which means that our brain works on two levels: conscious and unconscious. I have always believed that our unconscious kind of controls all our actions, so going through the information saying that our senses receives about 11000000 bits per second and our conscious only deals with 40bits, confirmed my beliefs one more time. This information is also a proof of our selection attention/inattention: how the mind chooses to focus on one thing and ignores the rest. Second, we step into sleep and dreams section. I discovered that jet-lag is caused by our circadian clock which get reset by the sunlight. Additionally, I enjoyed how I related to myself while reading about sleep’s stages or

The feel of the picture lends to emotions of unease and recognition of sexual innuendo. The colors of the painting are vibrant, but for the most part are dark. The heavy tones and shades of the colors are well balanced throughout the piece. It can be noted that the brightest shades of color are found on areas depicting the actual woman. In areas that are understood as landscape, the colors are more dreary and create a sense of instability. Even Hess observes that the

shows the concept of time as anything but persistent. The painting is presented in what can be assumed to be the landscape of a dream. In the middle of the landscape is a figure that resembles a person who is sleeping, further showing that the painting’s setting is within a dream. As he falls asleep, time has, (quite literally) melted away, as shown by the clock within the paintings that have melted away. On the left hand corner, we’re shown what seems to have been another clock that has turned into a pile of ants, which shows Dalí’s definitive surrealist style. These clocks show that time isn’t of any significance. Within this land, time slips away, and life moves forward. Dalí depicts time here as limitless. While we allow ourselves to be ruled by time, he shows that once we let that guard down (as we do when we are asleep), time becomes nothing but an illusion.

Our dreams are objects of endless enchantment and mystery for mankind as far back as the beginning of time. The nocturnal

The use color holds a lot of meaning in this painting, and the use of color reveals very important symbolism itself. The values of hues were used to symbolize the vast wealth of the two subjects, from the rich tones of the room to their clothing, but they also mean more than that. The use of intense green on the woman represents that she was from a family of merchants or high business. Since the woman was deceased when this paining was done, her bright and rich blue and
