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.
