Comparison Of Watson And Winslow Homer Portrayed In The Fog Warning

I think the artist is able to communicate the bad condition of the ship and its crew is in. The mood of the work is scary and gloomy. The design and intensity of the waves, the changing weather, and the ships in the ocean seem to make the scene come alive. It really conveys a since of naturalism in the painting the way it depicts the environment around the ship.

It is a case of the glass being half empty or half full. Or perhaps it is not even that, maybe it is about finding a story behind the glass being half full. Who filled it? Who drank it? Why did he drink only half the water in the glass? Did he even want a glass of water? He probably wanted a glass of wine but settled for water. Maybe it wasn’t a “he” but a “she”. I am rambling on I know and there is a fair chance you think my mind is addled. But the point is, the ocean is not just blue, it has different hues of blues and greens, it reflects the sky above, it sparkles with the rays of the sun, and at high tide it tries to reach the

According to Donald Finkel, describing his own speculations help the observer understand his interpretation of the artwork. In light of this, he shares the correlation between the different parts of nature and color in the first stanza by drawing attention to how “the sea is blue”(1). By starting his poem with this reason, repeated twice with other elements of the painting, it conjures the imagery of a chain reaction within creation. The land, sea, and people are linked as one- a commentary on the inclusiveness of nature. In addition to the color blue, a connection is created with the use of similes between the color of the men’s “white faces”, which was “like the snow on Fuji...and the crest of the wave” (3). It is not by mere coincidence that the three main objects in Hokusai’s work are alike in color. Once again, land, sea, and humanity are linked in a triangle, providing balance. Finally, a yellow neutral tone envelops the people, “an earthcolored sky” that is also “the color of their boats”(8, 4-5). Finkel, and the woodblock, are saying that nature is not the tool of humans, but rather that humans are just one part of a larger world that, as the wave shows, can just as easily overwhelm

“The Sound of the Sea” is a sonnet by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, describing the sounds of the sea and relating it to human inspiration. Through only auditory images of the sea and other powerful natural forces, Longfellow effectively alludes to the nature of human inspiration. Through detailed and sensory imagery, Longfellow communicates the subtle details of the human soul and how inspiration functions.

So waves do a couple things in To the Lighthouse. First, and most importantly, they are the drumbeat of Time for Mrs. Ramsay. They are usually a soothing force, but they take on a more ominous tone when they become synonymous with destruction. For Mr. Ramsay, waves are a destructive power because they are part of the vast sea of human ignorance that eats away at a little spit of land symbolizing human knowledge. We threw out the idea that waves are a negative force, but our trash guy picked it up and threw it back at us. Smart man. How can you attach a value to the rhythm of life itself? The waves represent flux – you know, ups and downs, as well as forcibly reminding Mrs. Ramsay of transience. Life, as well as waves, always goes on, but they’re never the same. So, if you didn’t pick up on it by now, the impermanent waves are a counterpoint to the permanent light from the Lighthouse.

Because of his drunkard father, Huckleberry Finn lived his life with Widow Douglas and Miss Watson. Both women wanted Huck to act civilized, but he always went against their wishes. At one point, Miss Watson asked Huck, “----why don’t you try to behave?” (107) and explained to him about the concept of hell (107). Huck replied to Miss Watson’s lecture with, “I wished I was there” (107). Huck didn’t agree with their perspectives and found civilized society to be strict and harsh.

The passage personifies the ocean by talking of its playful nature of the currents “weaving in and out of one another” and its ability to change, as it has a mind of its own. The last sentence within the passage states “it was not dead but alive” the use of short sentencing emphasised its point and indicates its importance. However this short verse changes the mood of the passage, the reader is confronted by the abrupt word “dead” this single word changes the tone of the sentence and explores that along with the capability to be alive there also is the capability to be dead. This foreshadows the next passage and the future of the ocean.

Winslow Homer created this painting The Fog Warning in 1885 using oil on canvas. The subject of this piece is the fisherman. It is currently a collection in the Museum of Fine Arts. This painting was an anonymous gift with credit to the otis norcross fund.

The artist demonstrates the content of the painting in an exquisite way by creating a sense of fierceness. The feeling is creating with the actions of the waters, clouds and sharks. This is very much human versus nature which when looked into deeply. The sky is very subtle with a somewhat naturalistic setting. The sharks have a fire to them which complements the look of despair in the shark's eyes. Then you have the shark which is swooping in the back which causes a feeling of despair.

The story starts off talking about the fog horn. When I started to read this I had no clue what a fog horn was or what it was used for. A fog horn is a like a siren that goes off every fifteen minutes or so and it warns the ships that around it that there is land near and to watch out. It is normally put on a light house so that if you can’t see the light maybe you can hear the horn. Both the light and the horn are protective barriers for the ship captains. They protect them from running into the shore.

There is also the color white on the tip of the waves giving it is also clear water. The color gray is portrayed in portions of the boats giving it the shadow of the inside of the boats. The color grayed is also in the background of the mountain giving it that a storm is about to arrive. 4.) You must do a

Hokusai shows a threatening wave shadowing over vulnerable fishermen in his artwork Under the Wave off Kanagawa. By using shapes that correspond to those of fingers, the wave gives off shivers of fear, as if it is devouring the men in the boat. The desperate men, backs leaning all the way forward, use all their power to escape the mouth of the wave. Hokusai uses tiny white circles that look like snow. The circles show a resemblance of snow falling onto a mountain to the wave slamming into the boat. These shapes contribute to the overall message of the artwork to symbolize the power of the sea. The size ratio of the wave to the humans depicted in the picture represent the power of the sea compared to the power of a human. In conclusion, the

However, the rose is “caught in the drift,” floating alone in the ocean. A delicate rose would have been torn apart by its harsh currents, but the sea rose is a tough flower that is able to survive, demonstrating its strength. The sea acts as a metaphor to life’s challenges as one never knows what to expect ahead, one just has to be ready for any

The strongest aspect of this piece is line direction. In the water they encircle the action, and in the rocks they lead the viewer down into the water. They also aid in the creation of texture, rhythm, pattern, and framing. The texture created by the lines in the water reflect ripples that would actually occur in the real world.

To answer this question, Stevens suggest that the narrator must investigate and recognize the difference between imagination and reality. Since the sea is an external nature which causes a meaningless “constant cry” and cannot be “formed to mind or voice”, the narrator must distinguish the ocean’s image and counterpart through the singer. Likewise, her ability to utter the sound of the waves “word by word” helps to transform the inhuman song of the sea into the entirely human song of the woman. Moreover, as the singer measures and interprets her song; the ocean similarly analyzes and follows the laws of nature.
