The Day the Sun Appeared on Venus Hi I'm Taylor Heffron and I'm here at a school on Venus with Margot, William, their teacher, and the other children that have been waiting for seven years to finally see the sun in person. No one knows why the sun never shows and why it always rains. I have been sent here to experience the sun in the sky with these innocent children. I am inside the school right now waiting for the rain to clear out. For now, let's ask a student named Margot what she thinks about what the sun will look like. “ I think the sun is a flower. That just blooms for just one hour.”she responds very quietly in front of her still classroom. People are now shouting at her thinking she is just making this stuff up. Oh my goodness!

    The tasks Venus require Psyche to perform are to separate the grains, get the precious wool from the fleeces, and to return with the box of beauty from Proserpina. As stated in the story, Venus said, “Take and separate all these grains into their proper parcels, and see that you get it done before evening.” The first task Venus ordered Psyche to do was to separate the wheat, barley, millet, beans, and lentils used to feed her pigeons. In addition, after Psyche performed this task with the help of the ants, Venus wanted Psyche to get the fleeces from the sheep. On page 1135, it said, “Venus ordered Psyche to be called and said to her, ‘Behold yonder grove which stretches along the margin of the water. There you will find sheep feeding without a shepherd, with

    Would you be able to live in a world with no sun? In the short story “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury a group of scientists and their kids live on Venus, where the sun shines an hour every seven years. The text follows a nine-year-old Earth girl, Margot, who recently moved to Venus from Earth. Consequently, the kids from Venus don’t seem so friendly towards Margot for having had the luxury of the sun. It appears that the jealousy of the children of Venus causes them to treat Margot poorly by oppressing, harassing, and isolating her.

    The Birth of Venus, by Sandro Botticelli, after 1482, was the choice for my writing assignment. It can be found on page 401, in our textbook, The Humanistic Tradition, by Gloria K. Fiero. The painting is a tempera on canvas and is 5ft x 9ft ½ in. Canvas was often used because it was less expensive and easier to transport. The Birth of Venus was one of the first non-biblical female nude paintings. Many of the earlier artwork of nude females were of Eve. As I was doing research, I found many different opinions and interpretations of the work. Often nude female artwork enhances a demeaning image of the female.

    The planet we know as Venus is the second planet from the Sun in our solar system. The Planet is also the brightest if we were looking at it from earth. According to a some information I have found it “is the third brightest celestial object in the sky (after the Sun and Moon)…[And] is also one of the few bodies in our Solar System that rotates east to west (retrograde) (http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Hanger/9188/venu.html).” It takes Venus around two hundred and twenty-four days on Earth for it to complete one full rotation. This makes Venus the planet with the slowest rotation in our Solar System. Venus’s year is shorter than its day being only two hundred and twenty-five days on Earth. Venus is also the Planet that comes the closest to our planet Earth. Venus comes about twenty-five million miles or fifteen million kilometers from the Earth’s surface. “Venus has a thick atmosphere and extreme atmospheric pressure, 92 times the Earth’s pressure. The clouds are composed primarily of sulfur compounds, most notably sulfuric acid (Http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Hanger/9188/venu.html).”

That’s how all the characters in Ray Bradbury's, “All Summer In a Day,” feel. The Main character, Margot, moved from Earth to Venus, where the sun only comes out every seven years. The other children are jealous of Margot because she was used to seeing the sun everyday, and the other children in her class don’t even remember seeing the sun. As a result, on the day that the sun was coming out for the first time in 7 years, Margot was being a bit rude and the children locked her in a closet. Margot ended up missing the sun and has to wait another 7 years to see it. In the story, “All Summer In a Day,” one theme is, jealousy

  • Analysis Of Venus And Adonis

    1906 Words  | 4 Pages

    Venus and Adonis is a famous and twisted love story between a goddess, and the most handsome mortal on earth. It is part of the Greek mythological culture that is not only known for being the basis of the existence of most people in ancient history, but it has still continued to be a phenomenon for those who enjoy the myth’s and stories of these ancient characters. Although this religion and belief system has almost faded to nothing, there are still many people who study its stories and artwork to completely understand what the artist was trying to portray through these characters and their artwork. Artists throughout history have used these mythological beings or characters as a way to tell a story, convey a message of their current society, and carry on the beautiful religion that once was. One of the artworks that has been continuously assessed, is the heart-wrenching painting by Titian “Venus and Adonis” based off of the mythological story of Venus and Adonis in Ovid’s Metamorphoses. This painting was created during the Renaissance Era which is one of the most influential time periods in history as it contributed to the advancement in intellectual thought in not only science and politics, but in art as well. “Venus and Adonis”’ existence on the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s walls is of importance because of the beautiful talent and composition of Titian work conveying “an allegory of the perils of life guided by fate rather than reason” (Gentili 1980), and also because of the heavy influence of its time. Titian’s “Venus and Adonis” was a fantastic window to the art and views of the Renaissance era. It shows the growing interest in Greek Mythology but also a growing interest in the education of art using proportions and linear ...

  • Venus And Earth Similarities

    546 Words  | 2 Pages

    Venus was formed 4.6 billion years ago along with the Sun and the solar system. Large amounts of dust and gases accumulated over many years to form the planet. Venus is thought to be the result of a large collision. This is due to the fact that Venus rotates differently than the other planets in our solar system. Venus is commonly referred to as Earth's "sister planet" because of their similarity in size as well as a similar gravitational force. Although Venus and Earth share some similarities, it has shown to be very different from Earth in many other aspects. It has the most dense atmosphere out of the four terrestrial planets. Venus consists of more than 96% carbon dioxide. The surface shows evidence of extreme volcanism, and the sulfur in the atmosphere may mean that there have been some recent eruptions. Venus is covered by a thick atmosphere, creating a blazing environment with temperatures reaching high enough to melt lead. Much of Venus's surface appears to have been shaped by volcanic activity. Venus is home to about 167 large volcanoes. Some stretching over 100 km long. Ven...

    Ray Bradbury’s “All Summer in a Day” takes place on the fictional dystopian planet known as Venus. On Venus, it is always raining, but once every seven years, the thunder clouds fade away and the warm sun shines brightly. Margot is a young girl that came to the planet from earth, only a short five years ago. Because of this, she still remembers the sun, unlike the other children who were only two. They become jealous and resentful of her because of the way she talks about the sun as an old friend that she knows she will see again; whereas the children don't remember loving feeling the warmth of the golden rays. One lesson that was taught throughout the story was that jealousy can muddle one's conscience to the point where they can't tell right from wrong.
