Art Gallery

(Before I start, I'm letting all know that I'm terrible at short essays)

As we wandered the art gallery, many pieces caught my eye. Although they were all wonderful, "The Kolob Section of Zion Park" by Gary Max Collins is a memory because of the location, style, and color of the piece.
I love this location. It is easily accessible to most, and close to home. While staring at the painting, I remembered places within this area, including a cave. As one is in the bottom of the canyon, they must strain their neck to view the top. Sometimes, after rain, a small pond appears near the entrance of the canyon: muddy, small. Usually it is a warm area. Rains come rarely, but they can have a fantastic show! Waterfalls come from the tops of the canyons and smother the canyon floor. Within the cave people watch the water shoot over the hole. Several artists attempt to capture this area. One would have to paint a 3D replica to have a chance at capturing the area. Alas, as far as I know, this has yet to be done. My next closest thing to it is Google Earth.
All artists have their own take on the world about them. Some attempt to capture their world as it is, and others as they see it. Collins did an excellent job at his attempt to catch the beauty of the real thing. In his attempt, Collins didn't do anything to try to distort the image or outline anything specific, he only attempted to catch what was already there. Upon viewing other artists, I found their styles distracting: heavily defined lines, a network of once thin lines made thick. A clean painting is the best painting.
Color in a painting reveals most every aspect. In Collins' painting, it is the bold rust against the sky. A contrast that is hard to get anywhere else. He chose to paint it while it was bright outside, so he must have been in an excellent mood. Greens lightly speckle the hillside, thus showing life within a scarce area. Many believe that the beauty he paints only exists in one's mind, but only to be cut short when they behold. Rare combo indeed, yet it was captured on canvas.
I still believe that Gary Max Collins painting, "The Kolob Section of Zion Park" to be a beautiful memory from his choice in location, style, and color.

A Twixy question

I tried to find out some other information on Twix, but the internet isn't my friend tonight. So what I could find out was that Twix has a pretty good sized ingredient list. I would type it, but I'm lazy and will copy and past for now. The ingredients are:
Milk Chocolate (Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Milk Ingredients, Cocoa Mass, Lactose, Soy Lecithin, Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate, Artificial Flavour), Enriched Flour (Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Sugar, Hydrolyzed Palm and Palm Kernel Oil, Corn Syrup, Milk Ingredients, Dextrose, Salt, Cocoa Mass, Sodium Bicarbonate, Soy Lecithin, Soybean Oil, Artificial Flavour.

And there you have it. I did find out something interesting that I bet few know: Twix used to be called Raider.

Dashes

Dashes have several uses in English. When used, they can replace commas, semicolons, parentheses, or a few other items. Sometimes, they are used because there is a bit bigger of an explanation than what one would use commas for.
The BMRD- the big mother rubber duck entered into a French art contest- is bigger than an elephant.

Maintaining Focus

Focus, in writing, is basically staying on course and greatly limiting the amount of extra material within a paper. Basically, focus = thesis. As a writer, you will wish to mention only the things in your paper that will be mentioned in your thesis. If a subject is taken out of your paper, that subject needs to be removed from the thesis. Also, if a subject is added to your paper, then it needs to be added to your thesis. Remember, one can always edit their thesis.
To maintain focus while writing, the writer can set their own deadlines for each step of their paper. An example of this is to have all of your research gathered one day, perhaps a few days later be able to summarize what is in each source, a few days later finish the rough draft, and finally, have the final due at least two days before it is due. Individuals can prevent procrastination and frustration by following a similar deadline schedule.

Elements of Gaians

Gaians, or users of gaiaonline, are usually people who are in the college years, and younger teens. The Gaians can create avatars with which they interact with their fellow Gaians.

Profiles are used by Gaians to get a better idea of the person's personality behind the avatar. Most Gaians do use profiles. An almost infinate number of profiles are available, and even those are very customizable.

Gaians have a MMORPG available for them to play on the website. Many kill a lot of time here and are admired on the main site for their accomplishments within the game. In the game they battle animated objects, the animated, with rings that give them "super powers". The rings can be taken off and switched with new ones they encounter in the game.

Phrasal verbs

Phrasal verbs are verbs that have their meaning changed just by the addition of a preposition or adverb. The verb "cut" can easily be defined as a separation of an object (i.e. marshmallow, group).
However, when we say "cut in" we can be saying interrupt, turning on a device, or even when a car slips right in front of another vehicle causing a disruption in the flow of traffic.

The lover cut in on the dance of the couple.

A huge list and a short definition is found on the example.
