One Of Ours Book Cover Analysis

The font of the text on the front cover, and throughout the book for that matter, is in an untidy scrawl that is both important - in that it is in a bold font and is a demanding colour (either black or white) - and is informal, imperfect, personal and human - in that it is handwritten. These aspects combine to show the picture-book

For this book analysis, I read the book A Piece of Cake by Cupcake brown. It is a memoir told by Cupcake about her life. She starts the book at age 11, when she was living a normal and pleasant life with her mother in San Diego. She was quite close to her along with her step father (who, at the time, she thought was her biological father), and her uncle. Then out of nowhere, she finds her mother dead in her room and her life is shaken into disaster. The court system had to turn both her and her brother over to her biological father whom she never met, instead of giving her to the man she was raised by. Her father then sent her to a foster home where she was raped and beaten constantly. When she

Initially, the cover and title page of the book both play a key role in the layout of the story. On the cover, the artistic style of the illustration looks like a cartoon and a painting. This style is very realistic because of the situation portrayed on the cover; yet playful at the same time because of its comical vibe. The cover also looks three-dimensional and the author seems to be using a straightforward perspective of art. This idea is led be true because the child, wall, and table with the fishbowl are all facing towards the reader. The title is also as large in font as the child and fish bowl are. This shows that the cover is relatively proportional in both text and pictures.

The book talks about the bridge,or connection between things, and, like real monkey bridged, can be broken and hard to navigate. Examples can be found throughout the book like how Mai father, Bihn, first saw Thanh on a monkey bridge, or how Baba Quan came on a monkey bridge to save Uncle Michele. This theme of connection is found throughout the book which is probably why the author designed the cover this way. But it is lacks Mai inter suggeral between tradition and culture, also the conflict between Mai and Thanh. The original cover is one side, for a book where each reader takes a different viewpoint. The current picture is not properly representing the battles Mai fights. In fact it almost gives a sense of tranquillity, which is paradoxical compared to disobedient PTSD quality throughout the book. Plus the cover in not engaging, defeating the main purpose of a cover. Therefore the current cover does not correctly represent the novel Monkey

While reading The New Kids, a couple of things caught my attention: the memoirs the students wrote, the story of Ngawang, and the feeling of being at International High School. I think the author did a great job introducing the school and how the students come from all kinds of countries and backgrounds.

The core pages in the Big Book structure their information in a step by step fashion. It begins with Bill’s Story. The story of how Bill started his own journey through alcoholism and became a founding member of A.A. The following chapters target the alcoholic in different areas of their life. Chapter two and three talk about how, through science, spirituality, and personal experience, the founding authors discovered the solution to their alcoholic illness and the ways they could beat it. Chapter four targets the alcoholic who may shy away from the religious or spiritual talk about “God” and how the program handles the idea of God or a “higher power” as those in the group see it. Chapter five and six are the nuts

A Literary Analysis on Flanner O 'Connor 's “A Good Man is Hard to Find”

The art on the cover produces: a sense of balance, freedom, safety, motion, and activity; happy and scary feelings; and associations between the characters. Notably, the contentment of the children and dogs versus the funk of the parents.

The puzzles in the back represent the visual analysis that the author wants the readers to develop about Meursault’s life. My reasoning behind this is because his life was portrayed as a puzzle and it was hard to understand why he did the things he did and why he acted the way he did. There were specific colors used to represent life and death. The dark lines indicate fear and his nonchalant attitude towards life. I used the color black because it signifies death which was coming Meursault’s way towards the ending of the novel. The green signifies life that was what he came to value after sometime particularly after he was done talking to the chairman. The color yellow represents happiness which was what Meursault felt when he was with Marie and when he went to the beach. The color red represents blood which was there once he had randomly killed one of the Arabs which lead to him having to go to jail. Orange and blue were utilized to represent the sky and the sun that throughout the story we see Meursault talked about often. Overall, the book cover image was created to exhibit and incorporate all the small details of Meursault’s life as described throughout the book for the reader to be able to visualize and

The artist of this painting, Gustave Courbet, was one of the first artist to call himself a “Realist” (1819-1877). This painting is a picture of a young man and an old man crushing rocks to produce the gravel used for the roadbeds. These stonebreakers represent the disenfranchised lower class on whose backs the modern life was being built upon. The young man in the painting is struggling to move the large basket of rocks to the side of the road. He is wearing a ripped shirt and pants, but his working boots are more modern. The older gentleman, is knelt down, tired from the work. He is breaking the rocks, while wearing the outfit of a lower class man. What the older man was wearing is the more traditional style of a peasant with his wooden shoes. The younger man is almost representing a grim of the future, while the older man shows a more out of date, or the rural past. Courbet said when talking about his inspiration for this painting is that “One side is a an old man seventy… On the other side is a young fellow… In labor such as this, one’s life begins that way, and it ends the same way.” (Stokstad 973) Courbet does a great job of signifying the brutality of the modern life with his choices of dull, and dark colors, as well as a more rough painting patters, he uses awkward poses and stilted composition. The painting seem realistically gloomy and

Middle school can be a tumultuous for students, especially in regards to relationships a general social interactions. Students can be quick to make assumptions about the people around them based on nothing more than superficial observations, which can result in unrealistic perceptions of those people. Because of this, the name of this thematic unit is “Don’t Judge a Book by It’s Cover,” and focuses on the importance of not drawing conclusions about people based on appearances or initial observations. The text set for this unit reflects this theme, as the books and resources included deal with characters or stories dealing with prejudice or discrimination. My hope is for middle school students to think deeply about their own prejudices and

Twisted and winding, crisp and crystal blue, yet no one knows what lies below. Lying in wait, seeking out none and accepting only a few. It changes so swiftly, only letting known what lies on the surface. Exceedingly few are allowed to know what the undertow holds.

You may be wondering how my book cover has anything more to do with the book

This album cover resembles the music of this album because of of the dull colors. Theses colors resemble the roughness and the sadness of the songs. The tractor resembles hope in the life of others and love, which has rust, but bright green showing us hope, just like in the song “Green Tractor.” Also the colors of the album is from the western type of culture. The colors of the album cover also show like the artist has a dark past that is haunting him.

How I came across A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara was rather inconsequential: an Instagram post by Yanagihara depicting a variation of #bookfacefriday, where readers pose with a book cover depicting a face—in this case, one of a man grimacing in despair, covering their own. In retrospect, Yanagihara’s endorsement of #bookfacefriday, which might just be the exploitation of a meme by her publishers, is a fitting representation of the grief-transferring effect that the novel has: experiencing the main characters’ suffering evokes the same emotion that the cover depicts. I’m ashamed to admit that the cover itself, which is rather aesthetically pleasing with its garish imagery, attracted me towards the novel--a complete disregard of the saying “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Any author with good artistic sensibility when designing their cover must also be a good writer!
