Film Review: 'Plastic Bag'

Charles Demouth painted "I Saw the Figure Five in Gold" about this same topic, but expressed it in a much different way. He challenges the viewer to place himself inside the mind of a person watching that speeding truck, showing what image would be left imprinted in the viewer's mind. Similarly, a Modernist approach to art does not focus on large, over-used emotions, but rather reinvents ways to see the world. This shocks the viewer into reexamining how he sees the world. This shocks the viewer into reexamining the world.

Right near the beginning of the story, the instance of imagery is found. One example, an unbroken front of snarled and ragged jungle fringed the shore (Connell 20), is a phenomenal use of imagery, as it creates a vivid image in the reader’s mind. Richard Connell does an adequate job of conjuring thoughts of a thick, wild, and scary jungle just beckoning for someone to come in. The river of glaring gold light that poured out (Connell 20) is a powerful use of imagery, as it uses descriptors such as glaring, gold, and poured. Connell almost makes it seem like the light materialized as it came out of the door, which makes it very interesting to read and picture. The author was very efficient in his use of imagery because the descriptors painted a very clear picture. Imagery is just the icing on the cake because it adds so much quality and description to the

Attention Getter: Art can be used to express our innermost feelings and to convey ideas about anything such as society, economics, education, religion, and politics.

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, but maybe they are worth far more than that. Pictures, although seemingly simple in nature, are extremely complex. Far too often, people overlook what a picture truly is. When a person looks at an image, they most likely see only the image, nothing else. Many people do not look deep enough into an image to fully comprehend the true meaning of it. However, when an individual begins to truly study an image in an attempt to understand the true complexity of it, they will be surprised at what they overlooked before. As stated by French Realist Painter, Gustave Courbet, “Fine art is knowledge made visible.”

As the scientific worldview grew prominent, the mathematical visual subculture also gradually became the ‘natural’ way of seeing. Jay relates this back to Norman Bryson’s logic of the Gaze, and “thus producing a visual take that was eternalized, reduced to one ‘point of view’”. Where the viewer, the artist, and God himself all experience the same ‘view’ and receive the same visual information from the painting. As a result, the meaning behind the painting is ‘eternal’ because no individual interpretation is possible nor needed. Those were also one of the reasons why Cartesian Perspectivalism was criticized; the lack of emotion and substance meant that the painting could not hold any meaning beyond its

According to Mandel, art reminds us that we’re human. It is a subconscious human instinct, even “in the midst of catastrophe” (Knopf).

The thought of art is more than what you see it is what you feel and what you learn from looking at it. Art can heal the soul and create and new outlook on images we may see every day. Sadly, we may not always see the art in things, pieces, or, humans.

Embracing plastic bags and shouting at a loss that cannot be compensated are the melancholies experiences in life. Lots of mothers pray and wait anxiously at the door to take in their heroes. Afterward suddenly, they lose their hope when seeing the green plastic bags along the floor. The poem “Homecoming” symbolized the young soldiers who have died on the battlefield and subsequently brought home in body bags. The soldiers intensify the sadness in this poem as they perish in a terrible way instead of supplementing their lives while getting old day yet day. In this poem, Dawe explores repetition in “all day, day after day” to emphasize the arrival of a nameless body which is hence different from the heartfelt joy extended to a loved one. The

A piece of artwork in this case is created and invented in manner that the viewer is lost away from the world of reality. The Invention and Fantasy theme of art uses the concept of imagery as most of this type of art work usually drifts the viewer from the state of reality into the dream world.

In my opinion, this short story was metaphorical and open for interpretation. The author touches on personal identity and how we define who we are through tangible objects. He connects this idea of identity to people’s trash, by explaining a hypothetical series of events. What would happen if poor people and rich people’s trash was switched around? This would make people realize that the items they throw away are what defines their life, their past, and who they are. This raises the question as to what should we throw away and what can we live without. People would have a hard time letting go of materialistic things, and yet they still wouldn’t remember family members birthdays or other abstract ideas. Everyone would soon forget

Different forms of art are evident throughout the novel and are used as a way to help characters take their minds off of the world around them. The most apparent example of this is the

When you go to an art show do you understand the symbolic interpretation of the pieces? Don’t feel bad, most people don’t. What’s so upsetting about that is that you really miss out on the experience. When I think about interpretation of art I think of Andy Warhol. Andy Warhol’s use of iconography changed not only the art world but the people who came into contact with his art. Once you understand his life and art, you will understand his art as a symbolic representation.

All over the world, art is used to represent many things, especially the artist's imagination

Religious imagery is something that can be found in artwork all through the centuries. An anonymous world-renowned graffiti artist who goes by ‘Banksy’ places traditional paintings in public places altered to send an iconoclastic message about society and government. In this image he depicts a traditional figure of Jesus dying on the cross, but in his hands can be found shopping bags full of presents and candy. Jesus, an iconic figure in religious history, has been turned into a puppet to fit the mold of our consumer driven society. The rhetor presents an iconoclastic view that the integral commemoration of Jesus’ death and the religious aspects

The use of geometric shapes in this painting allows the subject to be viewed in both a recognizable and unrecognizable state at the same time. Overall, geometric shapes and patterns play an essential role in what the viewer sees, which is further supported by a powerful color palate.
