As I work my way through the multiple layers of my Nonny’s standard overly-taped wrapping job, I catch my first glimpse of the word “Star.” Perfect. I feel a sense of relief engulf my seven year old body. Just as I asked for, that Star Wars Lego set showed up under the tree. As I continue to pry the wrapping paper off the box, it quickly becomes evident that my assumption was false. This is not what I asked for. “Starry Night.” Astronomy software for my PC? Why, Nonny? In my disappointment, I never thought that I’d be thanking her ten years later. Spending hours upon hours exploring the far reaching stars and nebulae, first in the software, and then with my dad’s telescope, I had been quite literally starstruck by our impressive universe.

  • Steve Mccurry Argumentative Essay

    Steve McCurry should not be on a scandal because he does not have responsibility to deliver actual fact, news material, to viewers because he is a story teller not a photojournalist. Mark Twain, William Shakespeare, Leo Tolstoy, Ernest Hemingway, there are tons of great author who touched readers’ heart. Writers can use excellent choice of words, structure, tones, and other elements to sympathize with readers and to express their story.

Spacey was reportedly having a party and invited Rapp. However, after a while, young Rapp got bored and decided to head to the bedroom to watch tv.

  • The Final Frontier

    610 Words  | 2 Pages

    It is in human nature to explore every frontier attainable: from leaving the cradle of civilization in Africa, to the nomadic people crossing the Bering Land Strait to the America’s, and, more recently, the Americans who explored the western part of North America. These acts of exploration have brought new lands to settle, while also producing economic and social benefits to the people or nations that have explored these frontiers. Yet, for millennia, humanity has looked up to the stars in wonder, and it is only now in the past half century that civilization has taken its first steps towards exploring this final frontier. Nevertheless, our species are still far from making deep space travel plausible and reaping the benefits of space exploration. Our universe is astronomical in scale, yet the human race can only see and

    I was going alone. I caroused through all of the planets and solar system finding the ones that interested me most scanned. There I found a solar system. There was a large sun with a few planets circling it. Most of them revolutionizing with the shape of an ellipse though there was one which seemed to have more of one than all the others. That looked interesting. Resisting the urge I swept through the planets and the belts finding one massive star. The next was a small, at least smaller than the next two.
