Candles Essay

What exactly is light? Is it a wave? Is it a particle? Is it a mythical being? This question has been debated on for many centuries. Some claimed it was a wave. Others claimed it was a particle. In the early nineteenth century, Isaac Newton proposed that light was made up of particles, but the answer was not agreed on until an experiment performed by Thomas Young. Young’s basic experiment consisted of a coherent light source such as a laser beam being shot through and illuminating a plate containing two parallel slits and being observed on a screen located behind the plate. What exactly were the results of this historical experiment?

Candles have been used all the way back to 3000 B.C., when Egyptians used torches to see in the dark. The Romans would cover papyrus in beeswax or tallow to see in the church, when traveling and at their residence. In the Colonial times, women found out that they could make candles from bayberry bushes that produced wax. “In 1834, inventor Joseph Morgan helped further the modern day candle industry by developing a machine that allowed for continuous production of molded candles by using a cylinder with a movable piston to eject candles as they solidified” (National Candle Association). In the mid 1850’s, Paraffin wax, which is the main ingredient in most candles today, was invented. It was made with petroleum or oil. It was popular because

Based on this experiment, the rate at which a birthday candle burns is 0.1368 grams per minute. Observation showed the decrease in mass through the melting of the wax. The evidence was shown in the beaker with cold water, in which the melted was collected. The data collected supported the observation in the decrease of mass. As the time the candle was burned increased, the mass of the candle decreased. The graph demonstrates this relationship through the negative slope. Using the graph, the time at which the candle would completely burn off would be eight minutes, because that is the x-intercept in this graph. The equation of the graph can also be used to calculate the mass of the candle after singing “Happy Birthday”. In order to calculate

When a person's faith is also an alternative for their culture and morals, it proves challenging to take that sense of security in that faith away from them. In Night, Elie Wiesel, a Jewish student living in Sighet, Transylvania during the war of 1942, uses his studies in Talmud and the Kabbalah as not only a religious practice but a lifestyle. Elie and his fellow civilians are warned, however, by his Kabbalah teacher who says that during the war, German aggressors are aggregately imprisoning, deporting, and annihilating millions of Jews. When Elie and his family are victim of this aggression, Elie realizes how crucial his faith in God is if he is to survive the Holocaust. He vows after being separated from his mother and sisters that he will protect he and his father from death, even though as death nears, Elie gradually becomes closer to losing his faith. In the end, to Elie's devastation, Elie makes it out of the Holocaust alone after his father dies from the intense seclusion to malnutrition and deprivation. Elie survives the Holocaust through a battle of conscience--first by believing in God, then resisting his faith in God, and ultimately replacing his faith with obligation to his father.

“All I had to do was to close my eyes for a second to see a whole world passing by, to dream a whole lifetime.”(83) Elie Wiesel chose a unique way to write his novel Night in order to draw attention to what was happening. Wiesel attempts to engage his readers by using diction, imagery, and organization.

After reading the directions and topic for this paper, I was extremely eager to get started. Adolescence is a stage of life that is very critical for a person. Speaking from my own experience, I know that the teenage years are a difficult part of life and during these years, one experiences a rollercoaster of different emotions, obstacles, and decision-making. Aside from the topic of Adolescence, I was glad that I could choose which movie I wanted to watch, and that was an easy decision. I decided to watch Sixteen Candles. The last time I watched this movie was when I received the DVD as a gift, which was when I turned sixteen. Watching the movie then, I obviously did not realize that most of the problems and events that occurred in the movie
