Illuminated Text

This illuminated text, based off of The End of Something by Ernest Hemmingway, portrays the story of Nick leaving his childhood behind. Since it was written in third person limited through Nick’s perspective, the viewer is exposed to his leap to adulthood as he breaks up with his childhood girlfriend. The different colors explain their emotions as they take another step in their lives. We used the color red to represent Marjorie’s optimism and continuous love for Nick. In contrast, we used blue to show Nick’s lack of emotion.

This Illuminated Text seeks to show the relationship between the son and his Old Man. With time and races, they become close, but too late, and much too suddenly for the son to feel that he still had a connection. His old man's friends took away what little feelings he had left. He was alone in a world where it used to be only him and his father.

Our main goal in making this illuminated text was to be able to bring Shakespeare's words to life in the dagger scene from Act 2 Scene 1. Terry and I both agreed to do this soliloquy because we felt that this scene was a great representation of the beginning of Macbeth's downfall, as well as his upcoming mental instability. We decided to use a dull color scheme in our presentation because this scene took place at night, and also to portray the dark and twisted thoughts of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.

This illuminated text portrays some of the most popular quotes from All Quiet on the Western Front. It focuses on the "Silent Youth" and their altered lives because of the war. They are lost in their minds and their innocence has been taken by the war. Can relate to modern times

This Illuminated Text is a transition of Paul's thoughts from the beginning of the war to when he died.Paul started to allow his thoughts consume him. He began to think the army was wrong. He started to realize that the people he was fighting were just like him. After this realization Paul started having trouble separating the front from his home and eventually his home became the front. I made the illuminated text end with how he felt at the end of the book. He felt that he was nothing and only the job of a soldier could for fill his needs.

This illuminated text shows the feelings and thoughts of Paul Baumer and his comrades when they are at war. After some new experiences, they have developed a set of rules for the front that is vastly different than the rules for home. They have lost their emotions and only care about what is necessary. Their view of the war and their idea of authority has been changed. As the war progresses, Paul’s connection with home is weakened and the front increasingly feels like home. Even when Paul returns home, a sense of strangeness lingers. The experience of war has forever changed him.

Throughout All Quiet on the Western Front, we see the effects that trench warfare has on soldiers like Paul. Such effects are dramatic, powerful enough to change his entire state of mind instantaneously. At the silence of enemy artillery, he and his comrades become animals, willing to kill their kin should they charge alongside the enemy. Though men, they become animals, not unlike a character we know all too well...

This illuminated text is of the soliloquy from Macbeth Act I, Scene 5. This soliloquy is the first glimpse we have of Lady Macbeth’s thirst for power. We not only see this desire, but we see the beginning of her role as the driving force behind Macbeth’s actions in asserting power. She doubts her husband’s ruthlessness and foresees her role in fulfilling the witches‘ prophecies as a dominant one. Her words illustrate this and evoke a sense of malevolence, which is why certain words, such as “spirits,” have been shown in red (to represent evil and bloodthirstiness) .
