The sun reflects a white color line that is a mixture of many different colors,the colors can be separated by a prism. The white color of the sun goes through the prism and when it comes out the prism reflects all the different colors that are able to create the sunlight. Everyday the sky is reflecting a light blue color and the cause of this is, the wavelength that each of the colors tend to have and how long it takes for them to travel,light energy travels in waves and in a straight line,but some of them have shorter wavelength than others making it easier for them to reflect their color while the others are traveling and being broken down by the air.
The atmosphere is thicker when its closer to the earth but when its escalating to the space it starts getting thinner. Light travels in a straight line until something destroys it or it bumps into something like the gas molecule or even a little bit of dust,and what will happen after depends on the wavelength of the colors or the size of the element being hit,when it hits a big particle then it will bounce all around, reflect all i...
Each author has their own style that is reflected in their poetry. Emily Bronte, author of the poem “Ah! Why, Because the Dazzling Sun,” is known for her whimsical style (Emily). Some authors stick to one common pattern in the style of their poems; on the other hand, Bronte utilizes many different elements to make her writings unique. Bronte takes words and tells a story through her poetry, and that ultimately is why her name has gone down in literary history. From Wuthering Heights to her many other poems, and even under the pseudonym of “Ellis Bell,” Bronte includes a multitude of writing styles to make her works memorable. The poem contains a rich source of figurative
Nikita Mikhalkov's Burnt by the Sun was released in 1994, a year in which over seven decades of communism were undoubtedly still a vivid memory in the eyes of the Russian people. The transition from dictatorship to democracy left them with no choice but to try and disregard their past in order to better accept the many changes that the future would bring. In Burnt by the Sun, however, the director focuses on the characters' human emotions rather than condemn their ideology or their motivations. He thus brings us close to these individuals who are clutching the remnants of the ideals they originally fought for, and who, with the return of an old friend, are suddenly forced to simultaneously confront their future and search through their past. Throughout the whole movie this is the main theme the viewer is given to reflect on: the clash between the sweet, safe, nostalgic past and the forthcoming of a bitter, dangerous, uncertain future. This theme is particularly alive in the sequence 'Arrival of Summer Santa'. By analyzing the opening segment of this sequence, we realize that it is the editing which renders the conflict so palpable. From one cut to the next, we learn Nadia and Mitia's implicit memories and desires; during their conversation, the cutting alone makes us realize what will happen; near the end of the sequence, one simple cut says more than a minute-long scene ever could have done. Thanks to the editing, we become involved with the characters, and grow fully aware of the symbolic opposition between Nadia and Mitia, between past and future.
A seed is planted to begin a new, yet sometimes on the way to becoming a bright, beautiful plant, the plant lacks minerals or sunlight or water and is misshapen, much like that of a family? the Younger family, to be exact. Few gardeners will spend their precious time to help a sickly plant, knowing it will never bloom, to grow into nothing more than it already is. Yet, there are those exceptional ones? ?Mama? is, indeed, the most tender of hearts to care for this sickly family that, I have no doubt, she knows will never fully blossom into a big, strong, and powerful family. The physical plant she cares for is a symbol for her family in every way. The mother waters the plant every chance she has, as illustrated on page 52. The ability for the mother to ignore all else and cater to this plant can be said, too, about her family. The money, which comes in from her dead husband?s insurance is to be put towards what her family needs, not what she would like to have, what she would wish to have, no, the money is put towards her family?s future. She even tries to protect their pure hearts when she mentions, ?Now don?t act silly? We ain?t never been no people to act silly ?bout no money (68).? Protecting the family from greed, the root of all evil, is the main focus for this gardener of life, just as she would protect the ravished plant from an overwhelming beam of sunlight. Placing a rod behind a plant is sometimes the best way to straighten a plant?s stem, yet the gnarled plant she cares for is still disfigured, as to is Walter. Mama tells Walter, ? [It?s dangerous] When a man goes outside his home to look for peace (73),? in order to straighten his mind out, even though it doesn?t work out all fine and dandy, the effort is made. Without this gardener?s protection, the plant would have been evaporated, long ago, by the insanity that comes with the struggles of everyday life. Checking to see that the soil still has water, Mama makes sure that the family is not in danger of losing their love for each other, their power source for striving in the retched world, as if checking the soil on page 39 and then replenishing it by saying, ?
When watching movies relating to the same topic that were produced in an overall large time span, it is clear that the social connotations associated with this topic are subject to change, whether it is positively or negatively. The depiction of Africa and its inhabitants are no different. Without a doubt, one can say that movies based on Africa and Africans have changed, but only to a certain amount. Many of these films still portray three different kinds of Africa (Thiong’o 1993), all of them being a “dream and nightmare” (Dunn 1996) and Africans as being seen as inferior barbarians (Walker and Rasamimanana 1993). Specifically dealing with the their inferiority, the amount and worth of the speech or dialogue Africans are assigned within
I’ll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson is about two twins, Noah and Jude, who have a close relationship but 3 years later, they don’t even talk. Each of them shares their story about love and sacrifice. However, the twins do not realize that each of them only has half the story. In the book, the twins had to reunite in order to clear up their past. The theme in I’ll Give You The Sun is to stay true to yourself. Jandy Nelson expresses this theme through characterization, symbolism, and plot.
Color plays an important role in 2001: A Space Odyssey, there are many points in the film that use color as a catalyst for events to come, or to foreshadow a point in the film. Specifically, each appearance of the large black monolith, the “eye” of the H.A.L. 9000 computer, and the sequence of lights David Bowman experienced after entering the monolith orbiting Jupiter. In the opening scenes with the apes, after the monolith appears and they investigate it the camera shifts upwards pointing up its face as the sun crests over the top of the monolith. This creates a clash between light and dark and an emphasis on the sky, and more specifically the sun which bursts over the top of the monolith with an intense bright color as opposed to the dark
Changes in the magnetic field of the sun affect us here on earth in a number of interesting ways. This magnetic field is caused by the flow of electrically charged ions and electrons on the sun, and if it didn't exist, the sun would be a much more boring star. The 11-year cycle of the sun's magnetic field accounts for many of the cool features of the sun: sunspots, solar flares, and aurora borealis. At the beginning of the cycle, the magnetic field is weak and there are very few sunspots; later, at the peak of the cycle, the magnetic field is strong, and there are many sunspots. Sunspots are relatively cool areas that appear as dark patches on the face of the sun. They occur where magnetic field lines are twisted below the surface. The period of time when the magnetic field is strong and there are many sunspots is called a solar maximum. The sun approached one of its solar maximums in the year 2000, and this maximum affected the conditions on earth.
Our Sun continuously converts hydrogen into helium and with this process it provides the essentials for life processes. In doing this it controls “our climate, provides light, raises tides, and drives the food chain” (Schaefer 34). Our Sun also has influenced many beliefs now and in the past. History has documented Sun worshipping religions while many current societies use solar calendars (Schaefer 34).
Long ago, the goddess of life and death, Erius, watched over the humans and gave them light. She shined her light for centuries, but the humans were not grateful. She grew tired, and knew the humans were taking her for granted. So one day, she created the Sun, which shone light upon the world. The humans liked the Sun, but they wondered why the Sun was moving. They watched the sun set over the horizon, and as the sun set, it grew dark.
I just read a story called “The White Umbrella” written by Gish Jen. The question I am answering is this: Why did Asia throw her white umbrella down the sewer at the end of this story? Here are some of the reasons I think Asia threw her umbrella down the sewer.
In light of our class discussion about the light skin, dark skin dichotomy I decided to write about my perspective on the issue. Growing up I quickly found out the color of my skin impacted my life in a foremost way. In my childhood years I traveled a lot, but I spent the majority of my life in Jacksonville, Florida. Jacksonville is mildly diverse, especially in the area where my family and I lived. Moreover, the school I attended was predominantly white. With that being said, I was immersed into a setting where I could not culturally or ethnically relate to anymore. Furthermore, I found myself struggling with my identity. In school my peers and classmates would ask: “are you white?” Of course inside I knew who I was— I knew I was black; however, I began to lose sight of my ethnic background and ethnic identity. Furthermore, I found that it was harder for me to connect with people of my own race and ethnicity. Most of my friends where white; yet, I noticed that I was always stigmatized as the odd ball out with my “friends” and it was almost as if I was not good enough to be their f...
To go to war is to engage in a fight with another Nation. Many view war as being an appropriate action that can only solve problems. Others believe that war is a violent action that leads to nothing but casualties. In the article, “Regarding the Torture of Others” Susan Sontag writes about the torture soldiers are inflicting on prisoners. Some torture was done so brutally that the some of the soldiers deem that acts as correct and in the process seem to try to dehumanize the victims. The bush administration considered torture as being mistreatment not evil. The Blog “Military Blog” by Zachary Scott-Singley deals with the day by day life and thoughts of a solider at war. Zachary Scott-Singley is a soldier struggling with the wrong of his actions. At one point, he believes that the killing of Iraqis is okay, but he then believes it is not. He was torn between he believes is right and not. The story “Half of a Yellow Sun” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche is a story about a young girl and her families struggles during the Nigerian civil war of the 1960’s. Her family has pride like much of the people of Biafra. That all changed when her younger brother Obi died, and the family realizes at that point the war was lost. While Sontag still maintained that war was not bad, she still believed that it was the torture of others that made war such a brutal action. On the other hand, Zachery from military blog was lost trying to find out if War was correct or not. The characters from “Half of a Yellow Sun” share a belief that war is necessary to defend their nations honor and pride but as the war progresses and it began to affect them they begin to see that the war was not as productive as they hoped it would be. Looking at pictures of war is like l...
Most of the light energy from the sun is emitted in wavelengths shorter than 4,000
It was a beautiful Saturday morning on January 6. The winter air was crisp and the view was amazing. The soft salty scent from the ocean filled the air. Off the balcony on the second story of the Long Beach Yacht Club I could see the light swells of the Pacific Ocean. The small crashing of waves added to the peaceful instrumental background sounds as the ceremony was about to begin. January 6, my wedding date, was a day that changed the rest of my life.
