3. I stood in the boxcar for a couple of seconds, and I looked at the scuffed floor, where the paint was worn down to the wood, and I could really picture all of those people being crammed into the boxcar and sent to their deaths.

A “survivor car” is what the newspapers called it, did not stop such notice; gathering from the darkness a moment of miracle, and then disappear for the next bend. Michaelist wasn’t even sure of the facts – he told the press about the incident. The yellow car the one going toward new york, approximating beyond, hurried back to myrtle’s location, and abruptly change target to the nearest obstacle in the road, colliding in a big speed and intensity, surrounding the road with metallic parts of a wrecked car.

America’s automobile corporations aim to satisfy the luxury, desire, and needs of the American consumers. They can accomplish this by demonstrating American traits resembling those of the typical American spirit or with relations to the concept of the frontier. In order to do this, an advertisement published by The Courtesy Way Auto dealership in Phoenix Arizona, showcased a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado LTZ. The advertisement illustrates a trail surrounded by green pine trees, bushes, rocks, grasses that convey the wilderness in the image. In the distance there is a humbled rustic cabin lying at the peak of hill. Centered between two large rocks, stands the red and chrome pick-up truck. Right above the product is the words “2014 Chevrolet Silverado”,

That the car is “bright with nickel” and contains “hatboxes,” “supper-boxes,” and “tool-boxes” suggests that its owner is familiar with all walks of life.

The advertisement begins with four inept friends escaping a bank that they had just robbed. Once they get outside the building, they soon learn that their original getaway car had been towed. They quickly slipped past the cops and came across a Prius. With no hesitation they take the car and leave behind a pile of cash for the owner. They soon realize that the Prius has enough speed and power for them to outrun the cops. Soon enough, the scary police chase turns into a joy ride. The friends narrowly escape the cops more than once. As

This movie opens with the setting in the depression era. A fleet of old cars traveling down a dirt road passing families as they watch the car caravan with sorrowful eyes. Inside the fleet of old cars is the company of the renowned Butterfly Circus on their way to the next town to lift the spirits of their audiences. As they pass a sign for a carnival sideshow, the little boy asks the driver if they can go. The driver answers reluctantly so the little boy ask Mr. Mendez, the famous showman, and he says, “why not”. Among the carousel, the fortune teller, and the games they find the show that everyone has come to see. There sits a small tent that is known as “the best freak show in town”. In this company of “freaks” there is the Bearded lady, Siamese Twins, Fat

Automobiles are a quintessential indicator of wealth and demolition in the novel. The rich people boughtbuy cars despite the fact that they did not

Each model is performing a separate task, in which everyone seems to be dominant. And who would be the most dominant in the picture but the owner of the truck? The red color chosen for the words "I bring the party" seems to portray a fiery, dominating statement made by whomever owns the truck. Also, the coffee cups have three cups lying down and three cups standing up – with one standing taller than the rest. This could be taken to mean that, if someone buys a truck of this model, he would stand a little taller than the rest of his friends or co-workers. The Ford Motor Company advertising cliché for their truck division is located at the bottom right hand of the ad. It emphatically states, "Built Ford Tough." In other words, it seems to imply that whoever buys this model of truck will be just a little bit tougher than those who don't. The color scheme of the photographs is deliberately chosen to be lighter than normal in order for the words to stand out in a more dominating fashion. All of these qualities are hoped to appeal to that dominant, masculine nature that men tend to want to portray to their peers.

One of the pieces in the “Going Places” collection is “Allan Phillips, Mercury Carnival, 1952,” designed by A.G. Spear Jr. The illustration was created using airbrush techniques and gouache and has an active energy with both an automobile and the back part of an airplane shown, as a man leaves on form of transportation and enters

A detail that can be seen is the skeleton with the black robe, holding and hour glass showing the sand of time almost running out. A second detail is the tarot card on the upper right corner having four cups on it. The four cups mean that there’s some type of emotional and dissatisfaction in one’s life, and can only be resolved with change (The Cups). The third detail is the cavemen, dinosaurs, and other extinct animals that no longer live on planet Earth. Fourth, is the gas container that say “In Oil We Trust” on it, relating to our oil companies. It is also what looked to be on a coffin with a volcano and a tyrannosaurus rex on it, which the woman is sitting on. And the fifth detail are all the cars in the background, who are all heading to one destination, hinting to death.

Crash. One, two, no, three plates hit the floor. I could for all intents and purposes feel my spirit drain from my body as that sound rung throughout the restaurant. I paused for a moment to recollect my thoughts, looking up to see a collection of dirty plates, bowls, and pans stacked nearly a foot high on the shelf and beginning to collect around my feet as there was nowhere else to put them. With a stack of plates so tall, the grease had allowed a plate to slip and take several others with it to crash onto the stone floor. Ah yes, this was dinner hour, the busiest hour of the night, on Friday, the busiest day of the week in general, and it was my first week on the job. Straightaway came the manager, Rachel, as well as a few of my coworkers. She looked to see glass scattered

An analysis of how cinematography, editing and mise en scene creates meaning and response in the Blood Bath scene of Taxi Driver (d. Scorsese 1976) Taxi Driver was directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Paul Schrader, in the film the director explores the journey of Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) and his slow descent into madness and eventually to murder. In the final scene of the film Travis goes to a brothel to murder the people inside and save the young prostitute, Iris (Jodie Foster). Meaning and response is provoked by lighting, shots, editing and costume and I will discuss how this relates to the context of the time. The scene opens with Travis parking the taxi, the colours in the scene are muted and desaturated creating a dismal atmosphere.

The same old truck is exhibited in a room next to the video installation and named “Bottari Truck” which was loaded full of bottaries. The artist had sourced clothing from Vancouver community and the truck from the Pacific Northwest.

In Hollywood you're not considered a prominent figure, until you drive a Range Rover. For this reason, the Range Rover is the perfect commodity to exemplify a Hollywood myth. A myth as Roland Barthes describes in Mythologies, is a kind of speech, in which the history of an object is distorted to signify a new modern history that feels completely natural to modern society. The Range Rover has been appropriated into Hollywood by celebrities and is predominantly owned by upper class celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Jay-Z and David Beckham. This vehicle, which was was originally used in the military and for off roading terrain has had it’s history drained and filled with a new history that signifies a much different myth than it used to. In this essay, I will argue that the myth of the Range Rover signifies a prestigious and powerful vehicle, designed with royalty and privilege as it is made specifically for the celebrities and the famous upper class personalities of Hollywood.
