The Red Lily Jack Thomson Summary
It is said that flowers represent each person, such as roses, for seductive women and so on, but these reflections are not always good.

The red lily can be interpreted as a simple flower, but beautiful, elegant and scented, but as few know it serves often to invite someone malicious to our lives or to represent the sins of people.

Jack Thomson, a waiter, popular with old ladies and single mothers, hardworking and committed. He started working at age 15, at a local restaurant and where he continues, drooping out of school and devoting himself to what he most likes to feel the pleasure of seeing his customers happy.

One day, while he was serving, he heard news on the radio about a kidnapper, who went by the name of "Buggy Man," abducted children, or more specific teens and killed them in grotesque ways, had been considered to have died, because it has been more than five years that

That day he asked to leave early, running home, sat on the couch and on his pc researched everything he can about this killer and the more he researched, more that feeling manifested, then he thought, how could someone like that murderer, who created those works of art, die like that? Smiling, he tried, in his mind, that had been carried away by that sensation and decided something unthinkable. Everyone who knew this man could never have imagined that anyone, so kind, caring, industrious, would have a mind so degraded and distorted.

"It was impossible for him to die. The best way to get the attention of an artist is becoming a rival of some kind, it's to become someone who shows some kind of existence that might interfere with that of the original." Thinking so, left home going to a florist, bought several types of flowers, mostly red lilies, so returning home again and reflecting again on what to do, to get attention.

    My focus for this final will be mainly on his engraving of the “Knight, Death, and Devil” that was done on copper and then used to make many printings of. The overall design of the piece is very ornate with many lines and curves used to detail the subject in the engraving. There are very many finely cut details, and shapes of all sizes and this gives the original engraving a texture to it. This texture is then transferred over to the paper when it is printed on. There are no real colors to the printed copies other than black with many shades of grey, which I think helps add to the mood of the picture. Also there does not seem to be any great emphasis on any one particular part of the picture but rather the whole piece has a great deal of interest. This not to say there is no definite subject, because the Knight on the horse is obviously that, but the maker did put a great amount of time to each piece of the picture and made it interesting to the viewer.…

    This is seen by attempting to appeal to women that seek a perfume with traditionally feminine traits like beauty, sophistication, elegance, and gentleness. To conclude, I firmly believe that flowering plants are a fundamental component in portraying the characteristics and appeal of the romance fragrance. Images of flowers remind readers of the pleasant scents and the stimulating aesthetics they offer our world and I wouldn’t consider a non-flower image to be as…

    Vincent Van Gogh was one of the greatest artists who involved himself in artwork with full dedication. Born in 1853 in Holland, he rose despite the odds he faced in his life which brought transformations and made him create improvising unique styles. Since his formative years and later in his middle years, Van Gogh maintained immense interest in artwork and did not fail to help others and engage in different forms of art available at the time. Later in his life, Van Gogh’s mental health deteriorated making him unstable and even attempting to take his own life. It was not until Van Gogh died that most of his works were published making him gain the recognition which he had longed for throughout his life. Arguably, Vincent Van…

    The flower’s deceptiveness emerges when its outer seal of beauty is broken at the stem, and the “soul” of the plant is revealed. The liquid from within the plant is powerful enough to kill a lizard with just a single drop. Even though the death of the lizard was the first incident and seen as extraneous, this is only scratching the surface of the damage this flower can inflict. Most deceivingly, when Beatrice is telling…

    One of van Gogh's main beliefs was that art was a direct representation of how the artist feels. Having grown up in a very religious family, van Gogh viewed the heavens as a beautiful, living thing. His heavy brushstrokes and vivid colors portray the night sky as crazy and chaotic and the village below as peaceful and serene. Van Gogh's troubled life, which involved many failures in life, love and business, forced him into madness, which eventually caused him to commit suicide. While the problems of his life may have caused personal trauma, the artistic importance of his insanity is overwhelming. Perhaps if he had not gone crazy, he never would have created the masterpieces that have had such an impact on art and…

    But one can quickly dismiss this as there is a much more informative understanding what the representation of the flower is and what more can be understand from what follows. The beginning of the poem describes the flower as being untouched and unseen from what can be assumed is other plant life, but what sets the poem into deeper comprehension by stating that no foot or hand can harm this plant where it is. In the mention of hand and foot that the human aspect is brought into analyze the real representation of the plant, as Freneau goes on to refer to the flower as she, make the flower a human woman. With a basic understanding of this it goes on to be further understood that the woman goes through her life as represented by the flower, with her birth being protected from the dangers of the world, to the reference of the coming of Autumn as a time when she may wilt and…

    In Elizabethan times, garlands made of flowers were worn on special occasions such as weddings or celebrations, and Queen Elizabeth I was given bouquets of flowers from her admiring subjects. Just as red roses symbolize love, four-leaf clovers mean good luck, and mistletoe suggests holiday romance today, flowers also had meanings in the sixteenth century. In Shakespeare's play Hamlet, Ophelia mentions several kinds of flowers and herbs and their meanings: * Pansies represent "thoughts." The English name "pansy" comes from the French word, "pensées," meanings "thoughts." * Rosemary is for "remembrance." * Rue, a bitter-tasting herb, may symbolize disdain; Ophelia pretends to give rue to herself and her imaginary guests. Rue was also thought…

    Over time, the red rose has developed to become a symbol of love. It is common for people to give them to their loved ones as a token for their affection. A rose communicates that love, much like its appearance is beautiful and delicate. One similar aspect of love is also displayed in its red shades, a color of passion. However, many forget of a rose’s thorns, sharp and painful to the touch. The rose is similar to the love expressed in Romeo and Juliet, a play written by William Shakespeare. The story follows a pair of star-crossed lovers who must deal with the various aspects of love. For Romeo, love produces feelings of pain, joy, and impulsiveness.…

All in all, the daffodil plays a big role in bringing out big things from small beings and contributing it to nature.…

    Van Gogh endured much in his lifetime, and he was unloved in his high social status family. His parents referred to him as a disappointment constantly, and everybody called him peculiar. Van Gogh’s father never loved him which tore apart his self-esteem and feeling of worth. All he wanted was his mother’s love, but he was never able to receive that either. He simply asked for acceptance but was denied of that wherever he went. Van Gogh considered suicide multiple times in his life, and he could barely support himself. Even his paintings appalled many, and people stated that they were made by someone with a ‘sick mind.’ Clearly, Vincent Van Gogh had to deal with very much, but the only aspect of life that kept him breathing was art. When his feelings of depression took over him, Van Gogh put his emotion into his paintings. He states that his painting entitled The Starry Night is a ‘promise of redemption’ because he believed that love shined through the stars. His paintings were where he experienced true love and felt accepted, and they were what consoled Van Gogh when he needed help. By releasing his thoughts into his paintings, art alleviated Van Gogh from his mental illness. Thus, Van Gogh’s quote clearly applies to his own life because he uses art as a form of…

    Have you ever met a flower that was happy? Maybe it looked happy because it was all bright and cheerful, but chances are you were doing a little personifying yourself. As far as we know, flowers don't have emotions, so they can't be happy. But don't feel bad for them; they can't be sad either. The next question becomes, then, what's the point of this personification?…
