The Pinchincha is an active stratovolcano, whose capital Quito wraps around its eastern slopes. The highest peaks of the volcano are Wawa Pichincha and Ruku Pinchicha. The active caldera is in Wawa Pichincha which is on the western side. In 1999 the volcano erupted and covered the city with inches of ash. There has been two other major eruptions the first one was in 1553 and the second one was in 1660. On May 24, 1822, General Sucre defeated the Spanish …show more content…

In 1900 the congress of Ecuador established the Coat of Arms. Ecuador 's coat of arms was first introduced in the constitution of the country in 1843.

These symbols effectively foreshadow another death, Doodle’s, caused by his brothers broken carelessness. After his death, which, interestingly enough, is also quite red, the story starts to come together. “Finally I went back and found him huddled beneath a red nightshade bush… his neck and the front of his shirt were stained a brilliant red … He lay very awkwardly … making his vermilion neck appear unusually long and slim… I began to weep, and the tear-blurred vision in red before me looked very familiar … I lay there crying, sheltering my fallen scarlet ibis from the heresy of the rain.” The foreshadowing adds a more complete ending by wrapping it up and rendering the work more finished. Doodle’s death, being more unexpected than Fortunato’s, evokes a more emotional response, since the color red has already been introduced in various other parts of the story. To conclude, the ending has a much more powerful impact by bringing together every single time that color has been used along with the two vines, and demonstrating just how terrible pride can be. These two stories present foreshadowing in different ways, different forms, and for different purposes, yet they both foretell the single truth of
The color red symbolics all of the colors and how each can have numerous emotions coming
This volcano is one of the most active of Mexico and has erupted in fifteen different occasions since the year 1519.

Its vibrant blue color puts the viewer at ease, making the painting appear to be a tranquil and peaceful scene. As the observer’s eyes drift downward, they see the chaos as the Texans slowly lose the battle. At the top of the left building, a Mexican flag flutters in the wind, and to the right, another Mexican flag raises as the Texas flag is tossed to the ground. Through all this, at the bottom of the painting, hope is still shown: the Texans will not give up. Patriotism is shown as although they are outnumbered and their flag is lowered, they are still fighting. On the right side, it shows a man much larger than the others, shooting a man holding a Mexican flag. This figure represents patriotism in the physical form, and the observer can assume this man is an important figure in the battle of the
Volcanoes are one of the most destructive, yet, most beautiful things on Earth. They can make a famous city choke in its own ashes in one day, like Pompeii. Or they can turn a once damaging mountain into a graceful and peaceful home for new life, like Mount St. Helen’s. All volcanoes are unique, and no two are the same. Some erupt differently than others, some look different than others, and all are located in different spots all over the world. I learned this while completing the project and the five volcanoes I researched are examples of my discoveries. The five volcanoes I researched were Mount Hood, Mount Mageik, Long Island, Mount Muria, and Las Pilas.
Red represents passion, strength, violence, and revenge and develops the tone of the novel regarding the Taliban. When Amir returns to Kabul, he and Farid are standing in the street when they “passed several more red pickup trucks with armed, bearded young men crammed into the cabs” (265). The red pickup trucks are loaded with people in the Taliban. Hosseini uses the shade of red to represent the Talib men inside the trucks. The men in the Taliban are strong in the sense that they are feared and there are many of them, violent due to the nature of their rule (public executions and the Hazara massacre),, and passionate about ruling over Afghanistan. Red also happens to symbolize blood. The Taliban issues a public stoning to bring justice to a man and woman who disobeyed the holy word of God. After the stoning, “The man in the hole was now a mangled mess of blood and rags” (271). The Taliban were passionate about bringing justice to the man who disobeyed the Quran. Red symbolises the blood that was shed in the name of the Taliban. When Amir is sitting on the sofa, waiting of the Talib man that happens to be Assef to arrive with Sohrab, he notices that “On the table sat a bowl of red grapes” (275). These red grapes act as foreshadowing for the violence that occurs between Amir and Assef. The grapes also represent passionate revenge. Part of the reason why Assef attacked Amir was due to the fact that when

Due to the fact they are the colors of the national flag.

Finally, the color green represents the hope that Mexico, as a free

What does color mean; is it merely light bouncing off objects, or does it hold some deeper purpose?

A few colors that can claim this attribute include; blue, gray and red/crimson. Blue is a color that represents the sky and the sea. In “Red Badge of Courage” the color represents a few other things than the sky, it also represents the Union army.
In the artist’s palate, the color red is very relevant to the subject of Quetzalcóatl. This color covers the whole plate showing how significant red is to this piece of artwork. Correspondingly this red isn’t a normal bright red, but more of a mahogany red to represent the symbolism of blood within the story of Quetzalcóatl. The Indianapolis Musuem of Art explains, “Quetzalcóatl was an important Mesoamerican hero-god who created humanity from his own blood.”1 The red symbolizes blood because of the connection of the color red, blood is red and also this piece is mostly red, so we can speculate that the artist chose the color red to connect the story of Quetzalcóatl making humanity from his own blood. Similarly the brown on the serpent, even has a reddish tint to it. It is evident
The red horse represents war and
One of the main features of Ecuador ’s economy is its dependence on only a few key export commodities, most importantly oil and bananas. Oil accounts for approximately 40% of the export economy, while bananas are responsible for about 17%, and Ecuador is the largest producer of bananas in the world. The rest of the economy is mostly based on less important agricultural exports, such as shrimp and flowers, which account for 6% and 4% of exports respectively. Ecuador is almost completely reliant on the success of these few industries, particularly oil, and so has suffered through a cycle of boom and bust economies over the past several decades, since oil was discovered in the 1970s.
