Nervously they both answer, “YES.” They follow her to the back of the Diner where a woman, wearing a gingham housedress, support stockings, orthopedic shoes, and her red dyed hair done in a tight perm, sits in a booth holding a deck of Tarot cards between her hands. As they approach Beth politely says, “Welcome, please, have a

Colors are used around the world to symbolize emotions. In the novel THE GREAT GATSBY F. Scott Fitzgerald uses gray, white, and green to show how the characters feel.

Poison Ivy May 15, 2012 at 10:17pm Poison Ivy by Sydney J. Tanner When I was 19, I was attending Utah State University, in Logan Utah. I lived in a beautiful canyon in the mountains and went hiking and camping a lot. One camping trip, being a bit naive and inexperienced I "wiped" with the nearest green leaf I could find. What followed was an excruciating lesson never to be forgotten. Not being from Utah, I had never seen or been around poison ivy before. Later that fall, I was on a committee

Mattie’s red scarf and red ribbon - the color of the scarf and ribbon represent blood, ruddiness, good health, and vitality, all of which Mattie has in abundance, and all of which Zeena lacks. The color red stands out in the white landscape of Starkfield, just as Mattie stands out in Ethan’s life. Red is also the color of transgression and sin - the trademark color of the devil -especially in New England, where in Puritan times adulterers were forced to wear red A’s on their clothes. The cat and

"Do it trust me." I said. If Patrick said to then we should trust him. They looked at me and I nodded. "Stand your ground. One...." Parker readied her bow. "Two..." My hands started trembling. "Three." The boys stepped away. The door burst open. The two men rushed in. Harry through the salt in the blonde one face. He screamed in agony. His face was melting in a bloody goop down his face. He yelled in rage and pain. He came at Harry. I through one of my knives and it hit his heart. I gasped. I

next lines proceed, “on a red / firetruck / moving / tense / unheeded” (Williams, 36). After the initial shock of the figure 5 jumping out at you, the reader is calmed by the fact that it is on a fire truck, which makes perfect sense because the lettering on official municipal vehicles tend to be somewhat ornate, and gold a lot of the time. Williams mentions color again, even though this time it is a little redundant. He calls attention to the fact that the fire truck is red, but pretty much all fire

Han purple is a 2800 year old pigment, artificially prepared by the Chinese (Link 6-a), which still retains its charm. This pigment was found on the glass-beads worn by the rich and the famous, ceramic utensils, wall paintings and on the statues of famous Terracotta Warriors. It was used most extensively during Han’s Dynasty, hence the name. This pigment requires a combination

The Minions have seemingly taken over the world – or at least every possible facet of advertising known to man. From action figures and comic books to memes and Tic Tacs, you simply can’t hide from the infestation known as the Minion craze. These loveable, jibber-jabbering yellow evildoers have literally run amok, and like so many animated characters do – they’ve won the hearts of millions. But, that doesn’t necessarily mean their heightened popularity will lead to critical success (don’t confuse

The two men wandered towards the highway, as the sun dipped below the rolling hills. A few miles down the road was one of the many taverns in the area. Facing towards the shadow of the setting sun, the tavern had an ominous exterior. Slim and George stepped onto the porch of the tavern, the old oak floors creaking as they stepped closer to the door. Slim led the way through the large cafe-style push doors. The usually packed pub was nearly vacant as the workers in the area couldn't afford the
