The photo by Elizabeth Switaj is very unique. The contrast of colors makes for a very interesting piece. There are bright shades of gold and green while the backdrop is a dark wall. It seems very dirty and grim around the people being depicted. The people themselves seem to be from a Japanese heritage. The gold trinket suspended above the people seems to be the focal point. It appears to be made of gold or bronze which stands out from the meek colors that surround the piece. The photo creates a sense of beauty while also incorporating the theme of darkness.
Adrian Thompson’s photo of the interior of Notre dame is breathtaking. The cathedral is known for its beauty and attention to detail. The cathedral fully takes advantage of excessive lighting to illuminate the entire building. Shadows are cast off the ominous archways to create a medieval vibe. The center of the picture contains a large window compromised of stained glass set high in the cathedral. The size and beauty of the glass fits perfectly with the theme of the cathedral. Chandeliers hang giving off a soft warm glow on the hard stone walls. The picture is explained by the bystander’s expressions on their faces. Each one is either standing in awe or quickly snapping multiple pictures to document the sight.
This is personally my favorite photo that I have seen on this site. The picture seems to hold my attention with its eeriness. The use of sepia shrouds the picture in a creepy tone. It makes me think of times that have passed. This is exactly the type of scene you see in horror movies and ghost stories. The trees seem open up a lane for the wooden cross to stand. The rock and cross seem to be the only things breaking the monotony of the forest that encloses it. The picture is a sad one, but one that I take as a peaceful end. A quiet end in a beautiful surrounding.

This poem raises the universal and forever sought question of religion. Joseph Harker takes a more personal approach to religion. I think his take on religion is very unique. He focuses on why put emphasis in our religion on small things. He talks about how we interest ourselves in such minute things as the luck we adhere to when the year a penny is compared to when you were born. He makes it seem like such acts are futile and useless. He doesn’t believe significance comes from objects that are so small and ordinary. The piece opened my mind up to my thoughts on religion and how I personally feel. I was very impressed with the message of the poem and how the poem was composed. The use of two lines then a gap emphasizes each line and places more importance on them.

M.G. Stephens seems to be giving advice in this wonderful poem he wrote. The poem is trying to send a message of what you should make a habit in your life. Such good things as be kind and ask how others are. It tells you to take time out of your day for what he deems as important. Stop to look at the stars and moon, take in everything around you. The poem tells you to read for at least two hours every day and to write down random thoughts or ideas. It then tells you to love yourself and others; to take care and be well. The poem gives a light air to the thought of making this world a better place. The piece is saying these steps will help to improve our life on earth. The poem outlines how to be a good samaritan. I enjoyed reading this poem and interpreting the message within. The poem also uses soft words to put a positive connotation on all the suggestions.
