A notable point to start with is where the bridges differ. The cable structuring attached to the supports the Brooklyn bridge extends in a spiderweb-esque design from the tops of the bridges arches while the Golden Gate bridge’s cables laterally descend from the top cable that runs the length of the structure.
If we analyze the compositions of the photo’s depicting these structures we can also see a difference in how they are viewed. It seems a favored method for photographers to shoot the internal structure of the bridge taking up the frame with its impressive web of wires. While the view of the Golden gate bridge tends towards the bridges profile, each taking in a distinctive scope of the impressive attributes the structures hold. The Golden Gate Bridges awesome size and the Brooklyn bridges elegant complexity.
It’s also interesting to note the environment of the bridges. The Brooklyn bridge connects city to city, it symbolizes the modern world. The Golden gate bridges strong iron structures jut from the sprawling land into the ocean. the city a distant hint on the landscape, it becomes a thing of nature.
When we talk about the reason for each bridges development I think the Brooklyn bridge is largely influenced by functionality. built in the 1800’s , it says to me that the plethora of wire and stone structuring was used to create a lasting structure that would endure time and the growing population of the city.
The golden gate bridge, built later, to me says an aesthetic view was used in its design. The structure is confident in its durability with reduced amounts of cables. It has an openness that allows it to both blends into the land while remaining modern. The 1930’s , the decade in which the bridge was built saw an influx of technology. cars were gaining popularity with the second wave of immigration on the heels of world war one’s end. I think it was built to illustrate the prosperity of California to arriving individuals, as well as the rest of the country.
The persistence of the bridges continued existence is reinforced by there presence. The of structures strikes a visual symbolism in the minds of those who witness it. It no longer is just a bridge or way of transportation but a landmark of the country it resides in. It is what tourist flock to when snapping pictures of their vacations. It is what locals base directions from and what textbooks imprint on there pages. The bridges become an icon that represents an identity for the places of their origin. which is why I think they are protected from the constant evolution of society.

Prownian Analysis
To begin, the description of the cologne bottle starts with the cap which is a metal rounded object that slides on and off pretty easily. Removing the cap shows a small pressure point of sorts. The liquid inside is a mystery to me. What holds the said liquid in place is a glass coating container in a squarish shape with the cologne’s brand logo, Polo, placed on the front of the bottle. The overall color of the item is a dark navy blue that is somewhat translucent, allowing one to view how much of the remaining cologne is in.
Moving on to the deduction, I can safely assume that this object’s main purpose is to provide a sweet smelling fragrance to one’s odor. This one in particular has subtle smell, less than the others found in my bathroom, which can be liked by most people as it’s not as strong. How the smell is put on to people is through that pressure system that when applied with a little force will spray the cologne substance out, much like a straw pulling up water.
Finally on to the speculation, this object has a clear goal. Men buy products just like this in order to have a type of fragrance when they go out or any other similar occasion. Some men like to honestly have the smell on them and use it as a symbol of attractiveness or power. Other men use it based on advertisement and succumb under the pressure to buy it based on the effects it may bring. Ads might state using this will attract females, which can be true, and use it for the act of sexual drive. What might be the percentage of men that buy it for the sake of themselves vs the act of sexual drive? What brand is most liked my men? By women?

This was a basic run down about why and how perfumes were made. The type of analysis was more heavily based on description and deduction. They described the different types of perfumes use different types of substances. They also described how people use them in order to “make people smell nice, and they are created to elicit reactions from other people.”

This page describes the fragrance in a more classy style of writing in order or attract their customers. This page was an advertisement page that mostly dealt with description of the cologne. As such nothing other than how the product was described as smelling was posted. This “article” was the best i could find for this object in terms of how it was analysed.
Bridges
The Brooklyn Bridge and the Golden Gate both have similar qualities in design. For example, they have cable suspension engineering with two towers acting as support for the cables. They also connect two points of major cities, Brooklyn being New York City, and Golden Gate being San Francisco and Marin County. These two bridges are pretty similar in structure, only their placement and coloring differ, with Brooklyn a grey brick color and Golden Gate a copper rusty color. As for how people take pictures of them, I can see the Brooklyn pictures using a lot of the city as a background. This is mostly due to pretty much all around the bridge is city which in turn adds to its history. As for Golden Gate, I see more beauty in the pictures. Each picture is from an angle that shows how magnificent just the bridge is, some are even taken during that night which shows off its luminous lights.
Since the Brooklyn Bridge was built during the late 1800’s and when fully constructed, became the first steel-wire suspension bridge in the world. The design was by a German immigrant and his son, John and Washington Roebling. Because of their place of culture, it shows a little bit of a European style of architecture with two towers that have almost a Gothic look to them, which is tall arches that show a power stature. Also as an added note, the bridge was built to be six times stronger than it needed to be.
As for the Golden Gate, this bridge was built towards the mid 1900’s and as such was bit different when building. They first of all had safety nets put out for the workers which minimized the death toll to 11 men, rather than the 20 lost building the Brooklyn Bridge. Those who survived the fall by being caught by the net join what was called the “halfway to hell” club. As for the coloring of the bridge, it was suggested to be a black and yellow striped color for ships to see it, but was changed to the orange we see today because the orange was used as a coating for air quality reasons.
Both these bridges are known worldwide and are a big part of cities they reside in. They show the American engineering and prowls to build amazing constructions. Because of this we admire it and use it our culture to be recognized.
