Regardles Red Car Analysis

The first time I heard the song, “Fast Car” by Wyclef Jean, I really liked it because it was catchy. After listening to it a few more times, I realized there was a lot of meaning to it. To me, the main goal of this song is to teach the young listeners a difficult lesson to be careful before they do something that could potentially ruin their lives. Also, Jean is showing his listeners there is help out there and tomorrow is not promised – everybody needs take advantage of their available resources so they do not harm themselves. Basically, Jean wants everyone to be careful with the life that they currently have rather than wasting time here on earth. Jean explains his story by using a type of music that

The red convertible, by Louise Erdrich, is a story about two brothers and their experiences together before one of them goes to war and after one of them goes to war. The central idea of the story is traumatic events can change people permanently. The story takes place in the red convertible, on the reservation, and at the river. The setting relates to the central idea of the story because we can see the effect of the war on the bother before and after, in the red convertible, on the reservation, and at the river.

The building was a marvel of modern engineering. A carbon neutral, solar and geothermal powered monument to the future. The outside of the building a sleek combination of recycled redwood and interlocking solar panels. The inside’s high vaulted ceilings and sleek white pillars formed a cavernous inner space. Three classrooms divided the building into working spaces. The bright L.E.D lighting and modern fixtures completed the buildings futuristic design. This building was the newest in a long line of additions to my middle school's campus.

Being an outsider is a common experience that can be difficult for people to overcome and describe. “The Red Convertible” is a good example of an outsider and can breakdown what it’s like to be in this social status. This short story shows Henry’s transition to becoming an outsider, and all the changes that occur to him differentiates an insider from an outsider. Henry is seen by his younger brother, Lyman, as a best friend at first, then becomes an outsider to him once he returns from the army because of his change in behavior due to the experiences he had in war. Henry begins to depict socially unacceptable behavior and he quickly changes the mood of the

After reading the short story, “The Red Convertible”, by Louise Erdrich, it is evident that the red convertible, in the story, is symbolic of the connection between Henry and Lyman. Their connection was unique in the fact that they were not only brothers, but also connected through the purchase of the red convertible, that they had bought together. While Lyman was away at war, Henry stated, “I wrote him back several times, even though I didn't know if those letters would go through. I kept him informed all about the car” (pg. 3). This quote explains their connection as brothers. The car was almost like a baby to them, as Henry shared with Lyman how he was taking such good care of it while he was away. Much like the stories

In the story “The Red Convertible” Louise Erdrich tells us about a young boy and his brother’s adventure. Lyman pushed the car into the water because it held memories that would only cause him more pain if he were to have kept it. In his getting rid of the things that made grieving even more painful pushing the car into the water dissolved the times it held of happiness he had shared with his brother in a more physical rather than mental way.

The campus in Chicago is superior because of the quality of the buildings. When the college was originally built, the architects used a specific kind of material that aged quickly in order to make the structures appear to be older than they actually were. At Vanderbilt, the outer surfaces of the classrooms look like any other establishments in the area. There is nothing to distinguish the university’s property from private businesses. At the other school, there is also a famous library enclosed by a glass dome, showing the futuristic as well as historic components of the design.

In Laura Kryhoski’s critical analysis of “The Red Convertible,” she points out several elements often overlooked when reading the short story for the first time. At first glance, the story appears “definably tragic” (Kryhoski). Kryhoski claims that if the reader were to investigate author Louise Erdrich’s background, the story would seem less of a tragedy and more of a reflection of her upbringing. As the narrator in “The Red Convertible,” Lyman seems to be recalling the tale from his memories rather than telling the events as they occur. Lyman focuses more on the distinct detail of each moment than he does on the bigger picture. This invokes the image

The sculpture has a rustic quality, and draws one's eye to it because of its large scale.The art brings a purpose and beautifies a long time empty property between two local businesses. It resides next to a sidewalk outside of the local bike shop, brewery, and Laundromat. Next to the “Sphere of Influence” is a sign picketed that states “Art is for admiring, mountains are for climbing,” which mean please do not climb on the sculpture. This is significant because when I stood admiring the statue a little boy ran up and started hanging off the wheels and poking his head into the centre of the sphere. Because the artist used bike wheels as the main medium the “Sphere of Influence” may influence one to enjoy biking.

We are now in the process of relocating it to a much larger room, adding much more equipment, and services around making activities. The makerspace (which will probably be called the Innovation Lab) will support a general education course that will be newly offered in the fall, an education certificate in K-12 Maker Education, as well as maker-type activities in a variety of classes. We will be open regular hours for students, staff, and faculty to make use of the space, offer workshops, and work with faculty on integrating maker activities into their coursework and research. Equipment will include: 3D printers, 3D scanners, CNC mills, Virtual Reality, 3D modeling, electronics (e.g. Arduino), crafts, sewing, vinyl cutters… and more! Much of the initial equipment is being purchased with an NSF (National Science Foundation) grant that the Physics professor got, the space will be staffed by student assistants.

With 10 acres of land to provide enough space for the building to construct and future development, Newman College has a nature advantage of spaciousness. With the Gothic/medieval feature, unlike most building achieving maximum effectiveness by expanding vertically, Griffin took a different approach by expanding horizontally, covering most area of the given site, fully utilize the flatness of the site, showing the sense of spectacular.

The art piece that I chose to critique is the sculpture of a figure kneeling down and getting shocked. It is located on campus near the Morris University Center(muc). When I first saw this sculpture it caught my attention immediately, because of how gruesome the piece was. I feel like I don’t have a good understanding of what the sculpture represents, but it seems like it would raise plenty of controversy, due to its erotic features. It seems like the artist was venting his emotions when he created his idea. The sculpture is fairly large in size, which makes it noticeable, among the other art pieces on campus. The sculpture media consist of wood and concrete, and metal mostly. The individual is keeling down toward the west and is supported

From the observation tower the horizontal building’s three parallel bands can be seen that extend into the lush landscape. The architects’ concept was to immerse the museum in nature by creating a set of three bracketed pavilions under one roof surrounded by gardens. The roof can be seen as

The building labeled B appears to be the main building for courses at Local Community College. Students walk in and out of the building all day and stop only to enter a classroom or buy food from the vending machines which fill one corner of the building’s long hallway. Often, students sit on the chairs that line the walls while waiting for a class to start, but for now the hallway is nearly empty and waiting for the ambush of students.
