In Living Color

after the end apartheid in South Africa, there still stands the same Squatter town with tin sheets as roughs and the same living poor living conditions that were established in the early 19 hundrends. These Squatter towns are present throughout South Africa, all known for their different colorful characteristics, and lack of racial diversity. With “63% of black children living in households earning less than 800 rands, compared to only 4% of white children” racial inequality is enormously existent

In Living Color; Glasses providing color to the colorblind Can you tell the difference between ketchup and mustard without reading the bottle first? Many can answer yes to this question but, what about those who would answer “no?” Color vision deficiency, otherwise known as CVD or colorblindness, may soon be obsolete. CVD affects approximately 1 in 12 men (8%) and 1 in 200 women in the world. EnChroma, a company that was developed in Berkeley, California discovered glasses that enable those living

specifically those pertaining to lighting, including color, contrast and shadows in the movie Vertigo to express emotions, the aspect of time and most importantly to further his theme. With the major themes of the film being life, love and death, the director uses the colors green and red to symbolize life, love and death respectively, while additional colors such as blue is used to signify a change in time, specifically from day to night time. Moreover, color is further used to portray emotions through the

character to people. There is racism because everyone is one color, everyone is probably white. There is no color. color is not a thing in Jonas’ world which means there is no individuality and it is boring. When Jonas’ sees color it's like a whole another world to him, it was exciting. People need differences to make life exciting, and sameness limits that for the people in his community, because nobody is different and there is no color.

front of Pablo Picasso’s Woman With Yellow Hair, painted in 1931, my eyes gaze upon the surpenginous movement within the painting. I am able to observe his intimate portrait of Marie Therese Walter, Picasso’s seventeen-year-old muse. Picasso’s playful color pallet uses saturated hues in great contrast with blushing pink tones. This technique demonstrates her surreal, dreamy state. A single, curved line creates the profile of Marie Therese Walter. Her profile is the most outstanding part of Picasso’s

village. There he was called a “neger” and was mocked by the texture of his hair and the color of his skin. What astounds me the most was Baldwin’s response to all of this mocking. He said, “In all of this, in which it must be conceded there was the charm of genuine wonder and in which there was certainly no element of intentional unkindness, there was yet no suggestion that I was human: I was simply a living wonder.” I cannot fathom how Baldwin had the strength and courage to recognize this about

wanted to be an early colonist on Mars, I would accept. Not because the thought of living on a newly inhabitable planet is cool, but because of the creatures that may already claim Mars as their own. Mars would be an interesting place to live, its dirt red and sky pink. The creatures that already inhabit the planet, Mars, would not be something that has been seen before. The creatures would be green. The same color as a newly sprouted plant. A bright green that is unforgettable. The skin of the creature

pain, or color. It's a town with strict rules and completeness, bland and plain, almost nothing. The main character Jonas, receives the power of feeling and seeing these beautiful things. With these abilities he feels the need to share them with his community. Him and his trainer “The Giver” then make a plan to bring life to the community ending in a scene open to interpretation. But the life in community before Jonas was impure, A life without flavor or was choice, a life not worth living. To not

A common idea demonstrated in the 3 dystopian stories, Harrison Bergeron, Examination Day, and Shades, is that citizens in a dystopian society live in a dehumanized state that denies individual rights. From not being able to see color to being killed if someone is too smart, freedom and independent thought being forbidden in Dystopian literature is shown in many different ways. Richard from the story “Examination Day” by Henry Slesar is shown to live in a dehumanized state that

but in reality it’s the social structure, demographics of where I live, and the stereotypes that were instilled in me at a very young age. I’ve recently just caught up on some reading and I found that in “The Other Wes Moore” by Wes Moore, “In Living Color” by Jana King, and last but not least “More Than Skin Deep” by Naomi Zack. All three readings seem to revolve around social structure or race. Depending on the demographic of where you reside or your race, your enclaved into a class made up to
