Paola Palaguachi Professor Philbert ENWR 1101 7 November 2016 Snooping Meeting new people can be a pleasant or disastrous experience. Every person is unique because of the traits they hold and the way they carry themselves. Getting to know a new person is intriguing since people have various means of communicating. In his book Snoop, Sam Gosling, a social psychologist takes his readers through his journey of finding the science of snooping. He claims that he does “more than passively observe the surroundings when you enter someone’s living space for the first time. I find it hard not to look around and collect, filter, and process information about the occupant” (Gosling 528). As a psychologist that specializes in the study of personality …show more content…
Gosling’s snooping has inspired others to become snoopers as well. Entering room 507B is going into two distinct worlds. It is almost as if the room were split into 2 hemispheres; two distinct personalities perhaps. At first, it seems like a tornado hit, but entering the room more depth, the other side is mess free. Yvannies’ side is the first side of the room that everyone sees upon entering; Odalys has the right side of the room. Gosling expressed his goal of being “able to guide the contestants away from common errors of judgment such as jumping to conclusions on the basis of only one clue or being misled by the things that tend to grab your attention” (Gosling 530). Keeping his words in mind, a reconsideration had to be made whether Yvannie was just a disorganized, sloppy girl. Surprisingly in the mess on the left side of the room, a case could be spotted. It was …show more content…
In Gosling’s perspective, “‘comfort’ extends well beyond physical conditions” (Gosling 533). Both girls in their given space, have accommodated to their comfort. Yvannie’s side indicates that she is a lively girl that is on the go and is outspoken. Odalys is a reserved person, into fashion, and someone with an unpredictable temper. Yvannie values her appearance and her makeup utensils make it possible for her to crate her look of the day. She puts in effort to keep her case organized because she must use it often. She tries to keep her self organized but it has not worked out for her because of the way she set her priorities. Odalys could be Yvannie’s opposite; less social and possible a person that may have a bad temper from time to time. She may love feeling thrill and she may be thrilled by things that may be odd to others. The joker is a character that represents evil and a disturbed mind, but along with his dark side he is humorous and looks for thrill in all he does. Her black color scheme may be to demonstrate her fascination with the ‘dark
?Black on Black? sounds as though it may be an unimaginative concept, however, on the contrary it is truly subtle work, as a matte finish black surface is balanced and blended with a shiner, polychrome black. Could it be that the juxtaposition of the finishes serves as a metaphor for light in the darkness compared to flat darkness? Only Maria truly knows. It is almost as though a soft black is shadowed next to a bright one and the combination of both, create a piece visually greater that is the two finishes were to stand alone on two separate pieces. Therefore, what Maria has created in what at first seems to be a simple piece of ceramics, is actually a representation of her own views on spirituality and beauty (Peterson 37).
-A person’s behavior can be influenced by observing others within the context of social interactions, experiences, and outside media influence.
I was very suspicious of people’s intentions. I had come to believe that people befriended only to exploit one another” (153)
Where the darkness is represented in the place where black is stated and the lightness is represented by the things that are white. In this novel, shades of black can be seen in objects or emotions that are associated with the night, shadows, burned, and evil. On page 3 it states, “It was a pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed” (Bradbury). There was also a black cobra mentioned in the beginning of the book which was a "suction snake" that pumped Mildred's stomach . It could have been any colored cobra but the significance of it being black kind of gives us that thought of something dangerous.
The black costuming highlights the savagery within Mama Elena’s soul and illustrates the constant dark shadow she casts over Tita’s world. The movie adaptation accentuates Mama Elena’s harsh characteristics through her dark costumes, while also using specific camera angles to display her cruel nature through the eyes of
Daniel Holtzclaw is a former Oklahoma City Police Department police officer. When he was a police officer, Holtzclaw sexually abused thirteen black women. He targeted women from poor, African American communities. Holtzclaw ran background checks on women with warrants or other criminal records and targeted those victims. The majority of Holtzclaw 's victims had criminal histories such as drug arrests. Holtzclaw 's crimes were unlikely to be discovered because rape is a highly underreported crime. Only one of the women filed a report. At least 68 percent of rapes are unreported. For every 100 rapes, only 7 will lead to an arrest and only 2 will spend a single day in jail. Men know that and they know it is very unlikely they will be arrested, a police officer like Holtzlaw knows this all too well. Holtzclaw used his power to rape women and he knew that the public would support him because he is a white heterozexual man, he is an exemplar man for the rape culture. Not only did he have the advantage of being a man, but also the advantage of being white and a police officer.
that black is symbolic of evil and darkness. The first black cat was the victim of the narrator’s evil and violent heart.
"The seventh apartment was closely shrouded in black velvet tapestries that hung all over the ceiling and down the walls, falling in heavy folds upon the carpet of the same material and hue. ... The panes were scarlet—a deep blood color.... There was no light of any kind... but in the western or black chamber the effect of the firelight that streamed upon the dark hangings through the blood-tinted panes, was ghastly in the extreme,” (“The Masque” 342). Poe brilliantly uses color to achieve the desired mood. The color black often represents melancholy or death. Scarlet, of course, exhibits the color of blood. Poe exploits the use of these two colors, black and scarlet, to create a feeling of macabre.
The lady in black is likely an old widow who is now living out the end of her life in the expected way. She wears the color of mourning and serves as a visible picture of
“When a rule is enforced, the person who is supposed to have broken it may be seen as a special kind of person, one who cannot be trusted to live by the rules agreed on by the group. He is regarded as an outsider.
In order to have a personal theory regarding human behavior one must understand the different behaviors through the principals of psychology. Similar to a fingerprint, people are unique and their behaviors/personalities are all different. A person’s personality can have emotional impact in reference to the way they act, speak, react to different situations and the lives of people that they are involved with. Relationships can also be influenced by the way a person behaves and the personality they portray.
Leroux uses this imagery to bring out the dark side of the opera. Black suggests the thought of darkness where daylight cannot reach. Erik’s layer is a perfect example of this impenetrable darkness. The black mask that the phantom wears suggests a sinister concealment. White is normally considered as light, purity, and innocence.
Black shading significance in Gothic literature– Black, then again, is utilized as a part of Gothic writing to symbolize malicious, demise, power, custom, class, secret and apprehension. Dark likewise has negative implications particularly in verse, and when consolidated with red or orange can make a very forceful shading plan.
Since, darkness and the color black serve as a symbol for death and portray the acceptance of a character’s fate. For instance, following the conversation about the “big black hat,” Dr. Rank’s request for “one of the dark Havanas” exhibits his understanding and own acceptance towards his inevitable death (217). Dr. Rank’s understanding towards his own fate creates a tranquil and serene atmosphere, since he no longer fears death. Thus, shortly after Nora “strikes a match” and “holds the match to light the cigar” for Dr. Rank, the light interrupts the darkness in the room to bring understanding towards the acceptance of death (217). Nora understands and accepts Dr. Rank’s death, hence Nora lighting Dr. Rank’s cigar. Thus, the acceptance of death for both Nora and Dr. Rank creates a sense of liberation, hence their farewells on their journeys for sleeping well. Therefore, darkness portrays the acceptance and understanding of death by forming a liberating
“When an individual enters the presence of others, they commonly seek to acquire information about him or to bring into play information about him already possessed. They will be interested in his general socio-economic status, his conception of self, his attitude towards them, his competence, his trustworthiness, etc. Although some of this information is sought as an end in itself, there are usually quite practical reasons for acquiring it. Information about the individual helps to define the situation, enabling others to know in advance what he will expect of them and what they may expect of him. Informed in these ways, the others will know
