In the heat of summer, I was running down the street as if running from the heat was; but it wasn’t from the scorching sun, no, it was from a couple of big, tough looking boys. Who are they? Well, the one with umber-brown hair that reaches past his chin and periwinkle eyes, is Damian Cobaltite; the slightly taller young man with olive green hair and eyes is his right hand-hand man, Oliver Flint; the one with short amber hair and brown eyes on the left is Peter Amber. I had already passed more than three blocks and ended up going through a filthy alleyway only to end up at a dead end, wish I hadn’t taken that turn. Three, three dangerous boys, they were about 16 to17, around my age except a lot taller than me. I was pinned to a corner and I didn’t know what to do, all I could do was get up to face them face-to-face, but even so I did not get up. Damian Cobaltite, leader of the little gang had told me with a smirk, “Get up you freak, before I beat you to a pulp!” I had replied, “As much as I want to get up your still going to beat me up.” His smirk had been turned upside down. “Your still making witty remarks in this situation.” he said. He then pulled me up by the collar and sneered, “I’m going to wipe the floor with your face.” Just when he was about to punch me, his cronies had then exclaimed, “Someone’s coming!” A girl with long black hair, with two red clips attached to her left fringe, passed by; she seemed to have taken notice, because she had then came back. When I saw her I noticed she was very pale and had rosy cheeks. Even so, I felt chills running down my back as soon as I looked into her eyes, they were as red as blood. Damian was still holding me by the collar, he had then tried to explain what he was doing, “It looks ...
... middle of paper ...
...saw Lilith.
She was breathing heavily, her cheeks were red, and her hair was out of control. It looked as if she had ran here, but maybe it’s just my idea. At that moment, she took a deep breath in and then out. She had then mumbled something to herself that I could not understand; so I asked her what did she say, and she had, with cheeks that turned a very deep red rapidly in embarrassment, replied, “I SAID, THIS IS A WASTE OF MY TIME!” Just then, I had realized that she was worried about me. We had never even talked and yet she was worried about me just like how I was about her. She had then slumped onto the chair next to my bedside and sighed. I took a quick glance at her face, but I couldn’t tell what she was thinking about because it seems as though she is off on her own world. All I could tell was that she had very long eyelashes and beautiful pink glossy lips.
DEFINITION “Isola te gain is the transfer of heat into the space to be heated from a collector that is thermally isolated from the space to be heated by physical separation or insulation (such as an attached sunspace with an insulated commd on wall)” Sunspaces Sunspaces or Sunrooms which are similar to solar greenhouses work with the elements of direct gain and indirect gain system features. Sunlight entering the sunroom is kept in the thermal mass and air of the room. Sunlight is brought into the
colder than the land the same areas. In the summer months this is totally reversed. Land and sea differ in their ability to absorb, transfer and radiate heat energy. The sea is more transparent than the land, and is capable of absorbing heat down to a depth of 10 metres. It can then transfer this heat to greater depths through movements of waves and currents. The sea also has a greater specific heat capacity than that of land. Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy required to
development of society, scientists invent new efficient and effective technologies for humanity to live with comfort, and thermal insulation system is one of these to serve people by reducing undesirable heat loss or gain and decreasing the energy demands of heating and cooling systems. In summer, the amount of heat entering through walls and ceilings is reduced, keeping the home cooler. In winter, insulation helps to keep warmth inside the home. This article will explain three principles of thermal insulation
On a sweltering summer day, rooftop and asphalt surface temperatures can be 27– 50°C hotter than the air, while the temperatures of shaded surfaces, more common in rural environments, stay near air temperatures. As rapid development and urbanization takes hold, several distinctive negative effects such as environmental pollution and production of waste heat takes place. This drives changes in physical and chemical properties in the environment. One of these changes, specifically the rise in temperatures
A Passive solar system collects heat as the sun shines through the windows and is stored on thermal mass. It uses the sun’s energy for heating or cooling buildings. Future homes should be constructed with this system because its advantages outweigh its drawbacks with low emissions of CO2 or other pollutant, consists of little maintenance, and has positive long term effects such as low electric bills. This system releases low emissions of CO2 or any other pollutant because it takes advantage of a

Condition Spring and summer often bring rain showers. Your gutters need to be in good condition to handle the falling water. Start by removing leaves and debris. As you are working along the gutter, make note of any repairs needed. The gutter may have pulled away from the house or it may be leaking around the joints. Once the leaves and debris are gone, make the repairs. Run water into the gutters via a garden
Martin Luther King Junior’s “I have a dream speech” is an important and famous speech in history, and even still a today a wonderful speech. What makes kings speech so grate? It’s his knowledge of figurative language. By using figurative language, he made people know how bad segregation was. King’s use of figurative language makes excellent examples on the effective use of metaphors. King met society with the civil rights movement and with his famous I have dream speech. King showed “the greatest
In poems like “Pear Tree”, “Heat”, and “The River Merchant's Wife”, Ezra Pound and H.D. Create images of the changing seasons. “Pear Tree” a story of changing seasons, and “Heat” the personification of a heatwave both use these details and aspects of well written poetry. In “Heat” “The River Merchant's Wife” and “Pear Tree” Pound and H.D. all use language, diction, and details to deliver images of changing seasons and simple meaning. Ezra Pound and H.D. write “Heat” and “Pear Tree” with simple
say, “We are loosing that. It’s not just that polar bears might go extinct, or the native communities might have to adapt, which we’re already seeing –there are larger climate effects”. Scientist now believes that the Arctic Ocean could be free of summer ice in 2020.This is a serious prediction, but the U.S is treating this information as if it is something that could never happen, they have not taken steps to limit the use of greenhouse –gas emission with any urgency. The United States is more
hate create a dialogue and a dialectic, a dynamic tension which powers the action and generates heat. Hot Enough for You? When I noticed that two of the plays this season had settings in Verona, I decided to find out a thing or two about the place. Reading the section on "climate" in Harold Rose's rather chatty book Your Guide to Northern Italy, I noted that "Italy is very hot in summer" and that Rose recommends that the smart traveler should "avoid August if you can" because it is
As the southwest United States experiences an unseasonable heat wave this week, Phoenix Arizona vascular surgeon Mitchell Giangobbe, MD is taking the opportunity to offer his advice on surviving the hot summer season and avoiding a trip to the emergency room for heat exposure. “Heat strokes and heat exhaustion are serious problems that can be sometimes be deadly,” said Giangobbe. “However, most heat related deaths and illness could be prevented by following some simple steps.” While seniors, children

generates a mood of tension and extreme pressure that exists in stark contrast to the happy and carefree attitude that permeates the majority of the novel. During the beginning paragraph, Bradbury compares aspects of the summer night to natural disasters, characterizing the heat that overwhelms the environment as uncontrollable and sinister. In the opening sentence, wind is personified as the creator of “dust ghosts” that haunt the sidewalks, suggesting that it is the natural elements that have the
