i chose my image because it gives a good representation of the setting you have the car crashed that represents the chaos that has occurred while the sky is completely black the only light eminating from the broken cars and the burning tree that can represent the burning of the trees to create light for the humans

I chose this image because it seems to be the embodiment of the dark ages. A time of literal, figurative, and intellectual darkness. People fought for scraps and chaos was praised while order was preeched. To me this is true darkness.

I chose this for the fact that even in our darkest hours, there is light. Most of us may despise darkness for it may just seem negative but it keeps us balanced. Without darkness, how will we know what light is, we need darkness. Yet the darkness needs us, it invites us in but know there is a way out, making it not as evil as many may presume

I wanted to use this picture because you dont know whats around you when your walking down the woods in total darkness... Having the feeling you not knowing is scary and might nake you freak out to the point you dont know what to do anymore. You always just want to walk to the light but do we really know if thats the best for us?..

This picture shows the theme of darkness, and the mood it creates. This picture shows the effect of darkness. Darkness creates an erie atmosphere as seen in the picture, and if that picture was taken during the day, it would not have the same effect

The ideas expressed in darkness greatly coorilate with the story line of Harry Potter and the deathly hollows. The characters are searching for vuldamorts remaining three horcruxes in their effort to destroy the dark lord. They have to go through a serious of obstacles to achieve their goal. Darkness elaborates on individuals praying for enlightenment while dealing with adversity. Both stories dealt with mad disquietude while working for their accomplishments while dealing with adversity. Also both bring about negative connotations with them.

This quote explains darkness because darkness will never disappear. When you close your eyes at night versus when you close them at night, the darkness is the same. Without darkness you wouldn't have time out of your day to focus and relax. Darkness is awaiting you every moment of the day. Like the quote "there's always light at the end of the tunnel," you have to travel through darknessdarkness in order to get to that light.

I think "Control" by Halsey fits perfectly with this unit. The song is about having darkness inside of you and not being able to stop it from coming out. Everyone has darkness inside of them, some people are just better at hiding it. For this unit, the lines "My mind's like a deadly disease", "I'm meaner than my demons", and "I couldn't stand the person inside me" fit really well. The third verse also fits: "I've grown familiar / With villains that live in my head / They beg me to write them / So I'll never die when I'm dead."

The poem darkness was about the apocalyptic earth and the destruction of it. everything went into chaos as the sun disappeared. The true terror of just plunging into darkness. That is why I chose this picture because it shows the true darkness of death and watching the light fade as you're dying.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this picture because it makes me think of someone or something lost in the dark. The light in this picture represents that in the mist of darkness there is always a way out. This picture draws my attention because it shows that someone is lost and is looking down or up for some answers that they might not be getting. This picture represents the definition to me of darkness.

# data[].attributes.body
This picture reminds me of the unit darkness because nothing is as dark as when you are in the woods away from city lights and only star light and moon light is available. Many people love this for the reason when you are away from the city you can see more stars than usual but to me it reminds me of true darkness. Its soo dark that lights to dull to normally be seen are now your only light souses. So to conclude my thoughts of true darkness, it can be scary or not depending how you choose to look at it. Also a common saying in the city is, "Don't be afraid of the dark, be afraid of those who come out in the dark." Which to me could also refer to Grendel who only came out to terrorize the town in darkness.

I chose lyrics from the song Rewind, by Devlin featuring Diane Birch. Devlin is a loud-and-in-your-face producer from London, who primarily makes grime, or rap at 140BPM. In this song he tells about the darkness that is inside him. He says that he is in the darkness hurt, looking for light and help. When this track dropped, people looked at Devlin as a different person, some accused him of being a sellout. This illustrates that even with what we show people through how we act, we never really know how they feel on the inside or what demons they face.

# data[].attributes.body
I choose this picture of Punished "Venom" Snake from Metal Gear Solid V, because I feel his character perfectly symbolises the effect of darkness on a human being. Snake's motive is for revenge, vengance at all costs. This leads him to doing less heroic deeds of his norm and instead partaking in some questionable actions. He even has a chunck of shrapnel protruding from his forehead symbolizing his desent into a demon. By the end of his story he's a man whose angry and curses his monsterous fate.

I chose this image because it shows the darkness that lies in nature. The trees and undergrowth give it a dark and spooky look. The wooden walkway also leads to more darkness. The tunnel at the end is mysterious and dark. The darkness is not just the way it looks its also that you never know whats coming

# data[].attributes.body
When I think about darkness I think about spooky woods. Anything could be hiding in there. What makes it so scary is the only light you have is the moonlight. Other than that its pitch black and you can trip and fall and somebody scary can come after you and kill you. Of course this is typically from a scary movie scene but thats what I think about when I hear darkness.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this image because it depicts the way I imagine the situation in darkness would appear today. There is no sun outside. The skies are dark and gloomy. There doesn't appear to be any life stirring around. The image has a cold feel to it just by looking at it. It looks like the end of the world. All of the building appear to have been torn apart to the best of people's ability in order to burn what they could for a watchfire. It is scary to think of how it would be every man for himself and there would be no rules

# data[].attributes.body
I chose the music video for the song Demons by Imagine Dragons because it displays the metaphorical meaning of "darkness". Darkness is not only something literal, but also exists within us as humans. To me, darkness represents the struggles that each of us face. Escaping the darkness of our struggles is a cycle which occurs throughout everyone's lives-- even on a daily basis. This video clearly represents those dark times from many different perspectives, as well as the lyrics.

# data[].attributes.body
When I think of the word "darkness," I think of the emotional feelings running through our head. Who to trust; society, or yourself? The more you build up these emotions, the more it drags you back into your personal hell.

This picture represents darkness as I see it... Or rather as I don't. This picture shows very little other than darkness, but just like our unit, the most important part is what we can't see. Anything and everything imaginable could possibly be hidden in it, and it encourages both fear and curiosity in us. Also, I feel that the small light demonstrates the common literary contrast of darkness vs light. To me it says "even in the darkest times, light still manages to shine through, however minuscule it may be".

# data[].attributes.body
This picture represents the uncertainty and terror of darkness. The eyes at the bottom of the stairs could be a demon, monster, etc. or they could just belong to a friendly dog. However, the possibility that it could be something dangerous or scary would cause someone to have reservations about going down those stairs. Darkness conceals everything it touches and makes it impossible to tell the good from the bad, and in turn provokes fear of the unknown.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe this image represents the fear of the unknown of what you can't see in front of you. When darkness has over taken it causes a lot of fear in some people because when you cannot see is what is most people's worst fear

This picture comes from a video game called Epic Mickey. The enemy shown in the picture is known as the Shadow Blot or sometimes Darkness Blot. He is a looming blob of ink that destroys an entire world by covering it in dark ink. An image similar to this comes to mind when i think of darkness. I imagine a large fluid like creature with glowing eyes and mouth. It doesn't have much of a physical form besides the one described. It's sort of a representation of anything dark and looming or any situation that I feel scared in

# data[].attributes.body
This picture reminds me of our unit of darkness. This unit has made me feel lonely or lost. This picture displays this feeling of mine very well. It seems as though the person in the picture is lonely or lost. The man is sitting alone in a room, which may mean he is upset or doesn't have anyone in his life. This is also a good example of our unit because it shows a small light shining through and entirely dark room. The picture shows that darkness consumes a majority of the space and the man does not have much light in his life.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this image because when I think of darkness I think of being lost.darkness is the unknown and not knowing what is around you or going on. In this picture I see people hiding from the darkness out of fear of what might lurk in it. We can overcome fear and darkness by keeping our eyes open and becoming aware of what lurks around us

I chose this picture because it reminded me of a quote from the poem "Darkness" by Lord Byron. "The wild birds shriek'd and, terrified, did flutter on the ground, and flap their useless wings." The birds in the picture look as if their in a panic sort of like how the quote describes. Just like the poem this picture has a sinister mood.

This painting of the Great London fe of 1666 is in my opinion an almost perfect description to what things would have been like in the beginning of darkness. The city, which was what all most people at the time knew as their entire world, was burning to the ground. The flames created a cloud of sm

oke so thick that even in the middle of the day it was pitch black. The only possible way to see was from the flames of everyone's dwellings and belongings being burnt away.

When thinking of darkness what comes to mind is the song One by Metallica. The song it's self has a very heavy and powerful tone. the lyrics describe the anguish of a man who has been through war and the mental and physical disabilities he now must live with. As the song goes on the man describes how he is imprisoned by darkness and all he sees is absolute horror within his mind.

# data[].attributes.body
This picture reminded me of our topic of darkness because it can be anything. Darkness makes me think of our weaknesses and fears. It also reminds me of being alone. When you are alone at night and it's dark is when the demons inside you come out to mess with you and turn everything against you. When you think of darkness you and put monsters in there. The true monsters are the ones that your imagination make up or even yourself.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this image because I believe that this image best illustrates my concept of darkness. In this image the people are wondering about with a blindfold over their eyes; the only thing that they are able to see is darkness. This darkness is causing them to stumble and is keeping them from reaching their full potential. However, if they were to remove the blindfold, then they would be able to walk around freely in the light and they will be able to reach their full potential. I think that as a species we humans have a series of blindfolds over our collective eyes in the form of ignorance, intolerance, and other things that keep us from reaching our full potential. But I think that we have been progressively removing those blindfolds throughout our history, like it is not okay to go pillage cities anymore like it was in the Middle Ages. And I think that as we remove these blindfolds we will begin to see the light more and more clearly and will realize our collective potential.

"Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it." -Terry Pratchett

I chose this quote for our theme of darkness because I think it really represents the whole idea we have been talking about in class. Darkness, no matter how small of an amount, will always overpower the light. Like in the poem Darkness, everything has just been engulfed in the black and fogginess of the dark. The quote also says "darkness is waiting for it" which means to me that no matter how great things seem to be, darkness and bad luck are always just right around the corner.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this picture because it shows the darkness in space. After reading the poem "Darkness" i can relate it to space, because a lot of space is desolate and dark. Much like the poem where the sun had been blocked out and earth was in an eternal slumber, some places in space lack light of any sort. Black holes absorb all light and let none escape, this is a terrifying phenomenon just like the lack of light in "darkness".

I chose this picture because it shows that there is darkness all around and " she was the universe." in this picture " the pall of a past world" is covering the moon which represents the light and making darkness everywhere.

After reading, annotating, and discussing the further in depth meaning of Darkness, i quote the line about darkness being a female it captured my attention but further explained alot of things and even their cultural beliefs

Reading the poem darkness, it brought a epiphany up for me. It showed me that during this time period, nothin was safe. We were all scared, and it brought out our strongest sides. Darkness, the unknown, yet we have to surive. Yet trying to was like trying to survive an extreme erth quake. You did not known if you would survive

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that our fears and weaknesses are our own darkness, and darkness is the absence of strength. I truly believe that each one of us have our own darkness that we fear others might learn about. Such darkness leads to more fear making us separate ourselves from the others like a man locked in a room having little to no light or strength left to face his darkness or fears and weaknesses. However, our darkness isn't something we should fear and be ashamed of, since it shows what and who we truly are. Our darkness defines our individuality and uniqueness.

When I read the poem "Darkness," this picture is what comes to mind. The city is in complete destruction and the air is consumed with smoke. There is absolutely no light or signs of life in the picture. This picture accurately depicts the sense of nothingness in the world that is described in the poem.

# data[].attributes.body
I have selected this picture to represent our class theme of darkness. to me darkness is a concept we use to describe the unknown. Its a place void of light, a place we are not familiar with, therefore we are uncomfortable. Pictured below is a forest with creatures in the distance. Had there been no light shining through the trees, you would never know what was lurking in the dark

# data[].attributes.body
To me, darkness comes from within. I chose this picture because it reflects a time where somehow a society's heart become filled with evilness, and most of all greed. The people participating in the practice of slavery did not look like the typical "monster" but in many cases ordinary people who attended church regularly. Slavery was a very dark time in history for the United States and even though it has been over for well over 100 years, the impact of this darkness will last for many generations to come.

I chose this photo because when I think of darkness I think of being lost mentally and emotionally. There have been times when I go through hard times and I spend most of the time crying and it seems like no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to find a solution to my problems. During those times I feel like I am in the dark because I feel like I have been shut out emotionally from happiness and light. Also, durning these times I feel like I have only mylsef and I feel socially shut out. Also, When I feel sad and alone I feel the need to walk outside and walk around in the middle of the night because for some reason, everything is brighter at night and walking for hours at night is more comforting.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this photo because to me, darkness is more then just the absense of light. Darkness can mean evil, or it can mean greatness. Darkness could be a starting point that you build off of to get to the light or it could be where you end up if you choose the wrong path. When most people see darkness, they always think negatively. But darkness could be the start of something great. Just because darkness surrounds the tree below, it doesnt mean that the tree is dark too. Eventually, that tree will see the light.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this photo because to me darkness is like the fear of the unknown. When you're in the dark you don't ever know what's around the corner. There could be anything standing in the dark waiting for you. Just like our discussion the other day in class about the fear of not being able to see where the scary noise is coming from or something like that because the darkness is the fear of the unknown. When I think about darkness I think of dark eerie woods or a room with everything scary you can think of but not being able to know what you're really scared of because you can't see it.

# data[].attributes.body
Whenever I think of darkness, I think of things about to jump out and scare you. I chose this photo because in it there is no other light except for the tiny amount given off by the candle. This means that everywhere else around it could be things lurking, the unknown. This could apply to life. The light that the candle gives off is what has happened and what is currently happening in life. The darkness around the candle is the future. No one knows what the future holds, we kinda just have to go with it.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this image because it reminds me of the poem Darkness we are reading in class. This image makes me think of isolation. Being isolated is a very sad,depressing, and dark thing. The light in this image reminds me of the beacon of hope the people have in the poem darkness.

When I hear the word "darkness," I immediately think of the unknown. The unknown of what lies in the dark, is something going to jump out at me? is there a million dollars waiting for me at the end of the tunnel? No one really knows until you travel into the unknown. I chose this picture because it has a path leading into a dark tunnel, symbolizing life's obstacles. I see it as in life you travel down a path not knowing where it is going to take you, like the tunnel in the picture. In this tunnel you have to face challenges in order to make it to the other side. You have to experience darkness in order to know what light is, bad things happen so you can realize the good in life. Not knowing what is going to happen next is a scary thought. Although we overcome the unknown and travel into the darkness of life and hope for the best.

I chose my image because in Darkness I pictured the apocalypse. My mind instantly went to one of my favorite PC games to play, DayZ. It is a game that is post-apocalyptic, multiplayer, and all about survival. In the poem, the people begin to burn everything just for light. They become like animals, doing whatever they can for light, for food, for survival. In DayZ, meeting other players is often more dangerous than the environment and the zombies that are also featured in the game. People are very ruthless and will often kill you once they see you. In this game, you loot places you come across and once you die, you restart with nothing. In the poem, I felt like when people were looking for more things to burn and more things to use to survive, that was like looting in DayZ. When scarcity is in everything, people become very selfish and very hostile towards anyone or anything that threatens them even in the slightest. In Darkness, "famine makes a fiend" and I find the same thing is true in DayZ.

I chose my image, because when people say or think of monsters often everything but there self comes to mind. I know that when people speak of monsters horrible ugly creatures or serial killers is the first image that pops into your brain. No one thinks about the monsters that are within a being. You constantly deal with monsters internally daily whether thats attitude or gambling problems we all have our personal monsters that we rather call bad habits than what they really are. Monsters.

This picture is from "The Shining". If you've ever seen the movie you know Jack Nicholson loses his mind and tries to kill his family. This makes me think of darkness because Jack is both types of monsters, the ones you can see and the ones you can't. Throughout the movie is the build up of Jack going insane which we can see, but his family can't. At one point his family finally sees the monster he's become, but it's too late.

I chose this picture for my Padlet post because it reminded me of a part in the poem "Darkness" by Lord Byron. In the poem, the author says "the bright sun was extinguished, and the stars did wander darkling in the eternal space, rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth swung blind in the moonless air." This picture connected to that poem for me because of the dark landscape and the aimless direction of the figure that walks in the image. I can almost see this person wandering around in the poem, looking for a way out of the disaster and into the light, which we can see in the shot. I also like the way the shadow falls on the pavement because it reminds me that we all have a bit of inner darkness that we have to battle everyday, and that some of us feel like we can't find the way out. I see a lot of that in this picture.

WARNING!... THE GIF I CHOSE IS A LITTLE FRIGHTENING. I chose this particular image because when i think of our theme of darkness i think of what may lurk inside the darkness. This image is in my opinion one of the worst horror movies ever but it is extremely creepy. The movie Mama is about a couple of children who survive a car crash and then live for years after with a character known as Mama. Mama at first is only seen by the two children at night before bed or in the dark while they sleep. This is what i think of when i think about our theme darkness.

This quote really embodies everything that we talked about in the unit. Edgar Allen Poe's work has a very dark connotation to it, and that is why I thought this quote was appropriate because everything about it represents darkness, from the words to the man who actually wrote it. During the entire unit I always thought of the fear that can be associated with darkness, and how it can consume some one. Darkness really can change people, just by filling them with fear of what they can't see, which makes them wonder and doubt. These thoughts that go through a persons head can take that person over and have a huge impact on them, all because of darkness.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this image because it reminded me of the poem Darkness that we have been analyzing in class. The scene in the image is similar to the one my mind creates while reading the poem. The eerie gloom of the photo is similar to the pall that was hanging over the city in the poem. Also, the creepy feeling the picture gives me is similar to the feeling the poem gives me.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this picture because it shows what people may classify as a monster. However, it says that monsters are actually inside your head. This reminded me of the discussion we had in which the majority of the class said that the ones we cant see are the scariest. This is because the human automatically thinks and prepares for the worst possible danger it can think of. This releases adrenaline and causes the fear that we feel towards the unknown.

# data[].attributes.body
For me this picture relates to the poem darkness because even when your surroundings are dark, there can still be good parts of the darkness. Like in the poem the people in the volcanos knew they were surrounded by darkness but they learned to appreciate the little bit of light they still had.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this picture because it shows that you never truly know what lurks in the darkness. Although you can see somewhat you don't know what is behind a tree, behind you,etc. The scariest this is not being able to see the thing or monster that is making the strange noises. This to me is truly the meaning of darkness and monsters. The fear and images that your imagination puts into your head.

# data[].attributes.body
I picked this image to go along with our darkness theme because when its so dark, the feeling of fear can get the best of you. Combined with an uncanny sound can make you wonder whats going on out there. I feel that this picture gives a good mental understanding, but it may be a better example if there were more monsters and they were looking much more menacing.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this picture because the poem "DARKNESS" made me think of the darkness that envelopes a person when they don't feel good enough for everyone around them. Nowadays, no one can ever be good enough, nothing is enough for people. Girls have to be a certain weight; they have to act a certain way and dress a certain way. It's not only the girls, though, men suffer from this too. Guys find themselves not feeling worthy of a girl's attention because "she's out of their league." What is a league? With all the profiling, labeling, and judgement that happens in the world today people fall into darkness. It envelopes them as if in a tight embrace and you pay no mind to it until you start to doubt yourself, and your self-esteem plummets. People expect perfection, but to me those people are hypocrites because one can't demand something they don't have themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
It comes everyday for some of us. Darkness is something we all hold. Letting go, we shatter our bodies. In mind, we all have a fiend of dark feelings. We all have moments of wanting to let go of life, but why be selfish? Emotions under pressure, we walk away from the light. Because sometimes it's to much for the human eye. You can't stare at the sun, but you can gaze at the moon... That's surrounded by darkness. It's that moment when pain constricts us of our smiles and brings us out of our norm. We do bad things. Sin. We all go there...to the dark...because that's where we have to find ourselves some days. Get out of the shadows of your struggles. Follow your scars, they lead to strength.

"Even while we sleep
We will find you

Acting on your best behaviour
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world"

this quote defiantly helps me create the image of darkness. "turn your back on mother nature" gives me chills because in away your going against the "norm" turning on something that a great amount of people rely on. in a way i also do believe everyone wants to the rule in some sort of way. if you were given the power to rule to country, you would want to change everything to help fit your standards on what you believe the world should be.

I choose this image after reading the "DARKNESS" poem. This photo is a photo of Maleficent who rises up to become a fiercest protector. She has a dark side to her once she has been betrayed by her kingdom. She then begins to have her evil moments and do things out of anger and take people powers away because hers was taken away from her.

The poem darkness to me is telling a story about how the world gets desolate and is overpowered with darkness; which to me represents fear. In today's society there is a lot of fear or darkness. One example of this darkness is war. A much more example that we all experience are arguments. These can be scary because nobody wants to get hurt physically or mentally. So it's almost as if darkness is already all around us and we don't even realize it

When I think of darkness, two general ideas come to mind. One idea is night when there is absolutely no light. The other is a metaphorical darkness within oneself, possibly by being alone. This picture captures both, the night-time darkness and being alone. To me, the small street lights are a symbol of hope, much like what the humans in the poem were looking for. No matter how dark something or someone is, there will always be a light at the end of the tunnel.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this image because it relates to our darkness theme. Darkness is scary for me because it's the unknown that is so creepy. You cant see whats coming after you or what could be behind you. In this image the boy is standing against the wall, and he cant see the shadows of the arms and hands reaching out after him. The unexpected is so scary beacuse you dont know what to expect and it catches you off guard.

I chose this post because it reminded me of the talk we had about monsters in class. It made me realize that monsters really could be in our heads. We talked about a monster is something you're afraid of, wether you could physically see it or not. We said a monster could also be the future, since that's something people are afraid of. When you hear the word monster you automatically get the image of something creepy. When you hear a stranger noise, you automatically think it's something horrible.

Darkness for me carries a negative connotation. I associate darkness with the cold and unknown. In this photo that I have chosen there is frost and a seemingly endless road that carries on into the fog. The setting is dark and empty of everything but the road, snow, and trees that swallow the surrounding area fully. No escape is what I see in this photo. Just as in the poem "Darkness," there was no escape. It consumed the kingdoms, left the world empty, and deprived everything of light. This is why I chose this photo to represent our theme and idea of darkness.

Reading "Darkness" I'm reminded about the Fallout series, where the only "happy" people are the one effected by the radiation. The people in this world lived normal lives one day, into joining bandits or even being mutated. When the world drops into a siguation like that your status in society no longer matters, it might in fact make you a higher target. Numbers rule in that world

I decided to go with this picture to relate me back to darkness because this reminds me of what the face of the humans might look like in a world like this. When thinking about these citizens of the world In this predicament I feel for them. In order to survive this world its probably like survival of the fittest, this young man look like he have been through a lot due to the redness around his eyes and sweat which in the poem some just sit an weeped, it look to me as if this young man have been in a battle to survive, this just goes to show you that everyone was affected by the darkness.

Time takes it all whether you want it to or not, time takes it all. Time bares it away, and in the end there is only darkness.

This quote by Stephen King exemplifies the hopelessness of the dark ages. People were just waiting for their time to run out. The theme of unit 2 is darkness, and that's what everything becomes in the end. Whether you want it to or not.

I decided to use this picture for the poem "Darkness" because it reminded me of the people who were looking for the light of the end of the tunnel (hope). The people in the poem literally burned their homes and belongings to see light because their world was so dark. And as you can see in the picture, the window is shining light into the room which represents that hope those people were looking for, yet never found

I choose this picture because it reminded me of the poem "Darkness". How building are falling apart and everything is being destroyed. Also there is a little ray of sunshine in the top left hand corner and that reminds me of the people in the poem who are happy. Those are the ones who know what's going to happen and have accepted it. There is nothing left in this world(picture) but destruction and darkness.

I chose this picture to represent darkness, because when I think of darkness I think of being alone. In society we feel alone in a dark shadow of lies and pressure. This picture represents the fear in society as well. The birds swarming into this room where the girl stands are representative of the way we are pestered by the darkness of society.

When I think about darkness my mind always wonders into the wood where the only light is the glow of the moon. In the woods there are so many things that can scare you, your mind being number one. When your in the woods you think about all the creatures that can be lurking in there. I'll admit depending on how dark it is I might not even go into the woods alone in the dark.

The image I got in my head while reading darkness was people standing around looking up to the blank sky in fear of what was coming. I chose this picture because I felt it best represented the image in my head. In the picture a man is looking into the sky kind of curious of what is happening. That is how i pictured the people in the poem but a little more like scared.

I chose this photo to represent darkness because space is a vast expanse of dark nothingness, the only light coming from the stars. In the poem, the worlds becomes a vast expanse of nothingness, the only light coming from fires that people built. As the poem comes to an end, the fires go out and only darkness is left. Stars in space also eventually die and go out, being replaced by darkness. There is no life in space, just as in the end of the poem, there is no life remaining on earth.

I decided to post this picture because it shows a fearful emotion which was shown throughout the poem darkness. In this photo it seems like the person is hiding. It also looks like they are afraid from what ever they are hiding from. Many people in the darkness poem were afraid because of what was going on around them.

When think of darkness I think of the evils in the world. I think of all the negative things and the evil of man. Darkness can be a lot of things from destruction, evil spirits, or negative out the has a evil effect.

i chose this picture because i think it explains the poem darkness in multiple ways. I think we as human sometimes forget that we are human beings, and believe we are invisible. But at the end of the day, we have emotions and thoughts that sometimes put us in dark places. We eventually conquer those thoughts, and sometimes we may not. And we stay in that dark place for months or years until we reach our breaking point

When I think of darkness I think of the destruction of the world. In my head I visualize there being a dark sky with no moon, no stars, and no sun. I see buildings gradually falling and there being nothing left, no animal, human or nature. I chose this picture because it shows a world that's being destroyed and will eventually be nothing.

The figurative language in darkness brought this image to mind when I was reading. "The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars Did wander darkling in the eternal space, Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air;Morn came and went—and came, and brought no day" I believe this excerpt exemplifies a dark, cold world where death is always lingering. When I view the picture, It represents something that was considered a great accomplishment by humanity (The Golden Gate Bridge.) It now lays forgotten, corroded, and looked past in the dark world where pleasure no longer exists.

I think that this picture relates to our theme of darkness very well. I chose this picture because it shows a different form of darkness than the typical person experiencing a period of time with no light. This picture shows how the darkness is all within oneself, and even in a completely lit and safe room somehow the darkness is still able to escape and take over the person. I think that this picture is fascinating and very inspiring because it allows the viewer to see how one can have so much darkness trapped inside of them and once they finally get it out it is a huge relief, but still a terrible thing that they cannot face in the eyes. Sometimes we fear the darkness that is inside of us more than the fear we feel when we are presented in an area with no light. I believe that, because our inner darkness can haunt you and stay with you for ages, until it beats you down enough and then you finally get it out like in the picture below.

When I think of darkness, I think of the cover to Avenged Sevenfold's album "Nightmare", which was released following the death of the band's long time drummer, Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan. The cover to the album pays homage to the late drummer with the word "foREVer" inscribed on the gravestone above the child's bed. The child is Sullivan's daughter, and Sullivan's inner demons are exposed and explained through each and every track on "Nightmare." Sullivan was led astray by a fury of negative influences, and those negative influences are exposed in the album's title track as the lyrics exclaim to Sullivan's enemies that led him to commit suicide the price that they must pay. The song's chorus goes: "You should have known, the price of evil, and it hurts to know that you belong here. No one to call, everybody to fear. Your tragic fate is looking so clear." The album cover is a perfect representation of the darkness the band was in following the death of their best friend and drummer, and shows the darkness that results from being desensitized by the lies of evil souls.

I chose this photo because I think it represents the poem darkness pretty well. They had nice pretty things in the poem i'm sure before the whole world destruction happend. This flower was once a nice pretty growing part of nature, but now its dead and sad looking. The black and white color scheme is how I imagine the arthur is seeing the world. Also there are things in the background we don't know what it is, maybe bushes maybe a pile of dead things we don't know.

Darkness is the absence of light. We don't know what's beyond what we can see. But is that a bad thing? How do we know whether or not we're missing something amazing?

That's why I chose this image. The lamp only shows so much. What does it hide

When I think of Darkness, I think of a void. This song's overall purpose is to describe travel in a deep, dark, empty void. This all makes sense in the scheme of things, because when you see nothing but pitch black, how do we know if there is truly something in front of us, or if there is just a black void

This picture gives off the same vibe the poem darkness gives me . It's a very dark and ugly picture , a very terrifying poem deserves a picture like this. I imagine the world coming to an end exactly the way it was described dark and well .. Deadly , . Not a good sight .. This picture seem unrealistic In a way. No sun was shown just dark clouds " we're chilld into a selfish prayer for light " and a bad atmosphere . Perfect that's why I chose this picture

I chose this image to represent the idea of "Darkness." In this image, "the bright sun was extinguish'd" just like it is in the poem. It looks as if there is no sun, and everything has either been burnt or rotted. The quote that I found in the poem, "Darkness", that described this picture was "habitations...were burnt for beacons; cities were consum'd." The earth appears "icy" and "rayless."

I chose this photo because it reminds me of the events of the text. The darkened and still ocean, the dark sky, and the flames in the distance all attribute to elements in the poem Darkness. The flames reference the burning of the cities in the poem, as well as the dying sun. The darkened waters reference the still and dead ocean that the text mentions.

I chose my imagine because whenever I think about darkness I think about sleeping and a dark figure or shadow watching you. You get that dark feeling of someone or something watching you something you can't see because it's dark. You almost get that feeling of hopelessness not being able to do anything about it. Darkness is a scary thing not being able to see what's going on only hear.

I chose this photo because in the poem they would say they would set buildings on fire. With this image it kind of gave me an idea of the dark skies and how they would set the buildings on fire and just gather around for temporary light. To me this shows in relation to the poem at how desperate they were for light and wouldn't really care to set buildings on fire to just huddle around for warmth or to just have a reminder of how the light looked. We take light for granted and don't really seem to realize the importance of it and the second it goes away everyone goes into panic and see the effect it really has towards society.

I chose this photo because it reminded me of the civilians hunger for fire. They were all looking for heat and light when it was scarce. The tiny light in the photo I chose was strong in my opinion because to these people it would mean everything, but to a high school student it wold mean immedate detention. The photo is more powerful with the poem than without.

i chose this image because it reminds of the poem the part that talks about the civilians burning everything down. " All hearts were chilled into a selfish prayer for light: and they did live by watchfires- and the thrones, the palaces of crowned kings- the huts, the habitations of all things which dwell, were burnt for beacons; cities were consumed, and men were gather'd round their blazing homes to look once more into each other's face; happy were those dwelt within the eye of the volcanos, and thier mountin-torch".

I chose this photo, showing U.S Marines engaged in a firefight in Afghanistan. When we first read Darkness, it made me think of the times I know will face me during my time in the Marine Corps. Darkness to me shows a time of unhappiness or engaging in an activity that has deathly consequences, but larger rewards. Some may say that my definition of it makes no sense, but I say it does in many ways. From the mind of a future soldier, no one wants to engage in killing enemies, but its our job. Its a time of Darkness when troops are deployed to a foreign county and away from family, and not knowing whether they will return home. That is Darkness to me.

I chose this image because when I first read Darkness I was instantly reminded of the movie, The Book Of Eli. Denzel Washington plays a blind man who lives in a post-apocalyptic word where survival is key. The remaining survivors have become like animals and have no sympathy for anyone. The antagonist of the movie is looking for a bible and somehow all of them have been burned except one and Eli has it. Eli Is also on a journey himself but he faces many obstacles along his path that come close to taking his life.

When I hear the word darkeness, this image comes to mind. This Is based off someone who is broken, someone who people think is happy all the time when they aren't. You don't know how people really are or what they think, someone could be depressed or suicidal but you will never know. People are scared of what is not "right" and a dark soul is one of them.

The image I chose is based off depression. When I hear darkness one of the first things I think of is somebody being depressed. A person in this state of mind sees no light. They literally feel as if they are in a gloomy world.

I chose this image because it represents destruction and darkness. After reading the "Darkness" poem i picture a disaster-ed world. A black world with no good intentions. People's life's were ruined and taken with nothing left in the world but darkness.

"Every one is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody."

I chose this quote because the poem "Darkness" is about the worst side of man coming out. This quote says that man normally tries to hide his dark side. The destruction of earth is the result of man's failure to do that. Men playing off of each other's flaws is why the world ends.

# data[].attributes.body
i chose this image because the poem "darkness" reminds me of storms and a big dark cloud over the earth that will soon end. To me the story explains how the universe was ending and that no one had any hope. i feel like a dark clouds set the mood to this story and how there will never be any light. there is also no positive to this story, the world was famish'd by degrees: but two of an enormous city did survive, and they were enemies". that quote meant to me that the word was ending and only the strong survived/

I chose this image called Moon, Darkness,Moonlight,Night,Mystical,because in the poem "Darkness" we read in class, the image was described as dark, nothing but dark. To me, this picture I chose represents what the outside looked like in the poem "Darkness." As I was reading the poem, this image kept on appearing in my head. It represents the darkness that covered the world like a blanket. All the people were useless in the poem

I chose the song, "Dark Secret" by Matthew Sweet. It talks about "a dark secret" that someone has. In the song, it says, "you are sickened by a weakness / of a heart that's filled with fear / and if the world won't understand you/ you can make it disappear." It makes me think about how many people walk around everyday with secret and terrible things, a thought or feeling that, as the song says, "on the outside doesn't show." The inherent darkness that all of humanity carries ... how our potential for good cannot actually exist without its antithesis- evil.
