Morgan Busse loves wacky socks, a good cup of tea, and cargo pants (a mother can never have enough pockets ) She is the author of the medieval fantasy novel, Daughter of Light. Learn more about Morgan at www.morganlbusse.com. Before I was a writer, I was an artist. The first thing my grandmother—an oil painter— taught me was to draw what I see. Easier said than done. As an artist, I needed to train myself to see everything, down to the tiniest detail. Lighting, colors, shadows. Where the ears are in proportion to the head? What angle do the shadows fall and how far? Which way does the fur around a cat’s face curve? What colors would I need to mix to create that shade of green? I learned to take apart what I saw with my eyes and reassemble
Before the sun is up, a woman is scrambling around her house, searching for a clean dress to wear. It has not rained the last few days, so she has had to cut her shower to only three minutes and hasn’t been able to do the laundry that has started to pile up. The woman finds the proper outfit — a blue, floor-length dress and a white bonnet that she ties under her chin. She peeks out of her bedroom window, the first burst of sunlight now streaking across the black water.
Looking at the Dakota prisoner of war letters we can see society through a lens that is often hidden in historical records, that being the perspective of Native Indians. The Natives, who occupied the land now known as the Midwestern United States, were treated like animals and savages by the European settlers who were continually moving west. The Dakota POW letters show that much like the European settlers, the Natives were a society with families and values that shouldn’t be treated different because of their heritage. David Faribault Jr. (also known as Four Lighting) argues that the Dakota people deserve to be treated as equals and human, and shouldn’t be prosecuted for “bad deeds” committed by other tribal members.

Anthony Doerr in the shelf-rattling novel All the Light we Cannot See tells the story of World War 2 through the eyes of two characters. Each chapter alternates between a girl named Marie-Laure, a scared and clueless blind girl who is French, and a boy named Werner, who is enlisted in the Nazi forces at the age of 12. By doing this, the author shows two sides of the same war, one of the French and one of the Germans. The way the author writes and portrays the book is unique, and just the idea of telling it from two perspectives is my favorite part of the novel. This writing style leads to unique perspectives of the war, but it also confuses the reader at times.
Something that Cather uses to symbolize nature is light. In My Antonia light symbolizes change. Jim associates Antonia with warmth and vigor. Also he says her eyes are like the sun and describes her with glowing cheeks. A description of light prefaces every major change that occurs in this novel.

He is initially left with an easy decision to either throw the deer off the side of the road or allow people to die trying to avoid the deer.
I have also learnt using thick and thin outline make drawing realistic contrasting various patterns to help the portrait flow for the eyes. I liked the contrast between the thicknesses of outlines in the patterning and around the face. As well as the patterns surrounding my face, as it made the face pop out of the paper as the main feature. Next time I would like to darken out the outline of my eyes, as they are a dominant feature of a face and something that helps determine that it is a portrait of myself. I would have also liked to add detail to my neck, as it looks plain with only a necklace.
I wanted it to be a more textural print, so I used different densities of short lines to form the body, while only applying detail to the facial features. I wanted to make the eyes emotional and almost worried looking by using strong highlights in order to convey a sense of empathy to this animal claimed to be a pest. While planning the repeat, I carefully chose to layer some raccoons, and overlap others until it became a packed pattern. “Compacted Cube of Recycled Cans.” Recycling &Amp; Disposal, Timaru District Council, 2013.

The ear is characterized by the females being more provocative, and sexualized. The perfect example here is Ariel, who moves and sings in a suggestive manner (Stover, 2013; Chrismanna, 2016 ). Her consume is very skimpy, as she only wears seashell, strapless bra. Also, her body is the only thing she has to attract her love, because while meeting Prince Eric, she does not have a voice. She portrays many traditional feminine body features, such as lustrous hair, which never get messy, even in the water; her eyes are very big, and nose is slim.

Discussing Lewis’ style in the Moths in the Arc Light Photography is one of the key inventions of the humanity. The famous saying “A picture is worth a thousand words” shows how much can be conveyed through a single picture. Yet, it can be ambiguous and be perceived differently by people. There are writers who, however, are able to create meticulous descriptions that are on par with photographs in the sense of imagery. Moreover, there are also authors whose style in general resembles a process of creating, or looking at series of snapshots, who can construct a story based on observing, rather than doing.
