Interesting image can be created by what is called tilt-shift photography. The images are created by actual places but it makes your eyes seem like they are miniature.

"Focus can be restricted to a single, narrow band, with everything else rapidly blurring away. This distorts the appearance and makes the eye think that distances are a lot smaller than they typically are. When applied to a large scene like a city or a museum, everything appears miniature."

You can relate to this in literature because sometimes, you have to focus on some elements to see a whole new perspective of the story. For example, in The Jilting of Granny Weatherall you have to focus on the time line of the story to see what has really happened between Granny Weatherall and George.

Icon

One icon that is particularly memorable to me is McDonald's. McDonald's is in every state and just about everywhere in the world. You can go a mile or two along a highway, and you will see that big yellow M that almost looks as if it were smiling. Now, McDonald's is even sponsoring the Olympics. How ironic is it to have an unhealthy, fast food restaurant sponsoring the world's greatest sporting event, where the best of the best athletes meet?

In my opinion, McDonald's has set this country's fast food chain and elsewhere in the world. Because of it, this nation has become obese and eventually, the world will become obese if this madness does not stop. Don't get me wrong, I love McDonald's, and I think it's very successful financially. Disney toys in one of those happy meals? Kids will keep begging their parents until they get a hand on that new ET-like character. It's just that people can't make the right decisions when they see commercials of people eating so happily, so energetically as if it were their favorite food. With the logo being "I'm Lovin' It", it is surely an icon that dominates the whole world.

Quotes

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. "- Albert Einstein

"Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning. "- Joseph Campbell

I chose the first quote because I'm living in a life where I am curious about many things. I'm curious about how certain things work and many mysteries like how the world got started. I like reading science magazines and find out many things that I didn't know. The second quote shows how I'm living my life. I'm in control of my future and I'm living my life as I want it to.
