A Disillusioned Moon within Reach. On that day when “the enormous lunar disk no longer seemed the same as before: it had become much smaller, it kept contracting”(P. 12), and “the night poured a river of emptiness”(P. 12), Qfwfq then drowned “in dizziness and alarm”(P. 12). Into this landscape of sensual incandescence and out of a close community rife with steamy intrigue, Qfwfq cleverly arranged for Mrs. Vhd Vhd and himself to be left on the moon for a month. When crying out his wish: “I’ll be the
Reading Poetry by the Morning Moon Wind sweeps a stray cloud across the sky, exposing half of a gray-mottled moon. It’s nine-thirty in the morning, and the moon looks like an island in a pellucid sea. Sitting in the mossy crook of a hickory tree, my legs dangle above the creek. A walnut leaf drifts past, on its way through the valley, destined for the river and finally the bay. For a moment, I think of taking off my sneakers and socks, rolling up my jeans, and dipping my toes into the soft silt

The third myth Lao Tzu: From the Tao Te Ching emphasized that the creation of the universe is nameless because it has “no form itself but also because it is the source of all other forms,” (Sproul, 202). Although there were a couple more myths mentioned after, the first three The first myth was called
Viewed from the earth's surface, our moon and sun seem similar in size and shape. One a rock composite, the other a star composite. Both serve two different purposes for our solar system, life on earth, and one's belief as they may dictate our solar/ lunar symbolisms. Some say that the sun represents our heart, while the moon represents our mind. Both being beneficial to human life, and life on earth in general, there are some opposing factors that separate them. If you think about our zodiac signs

Scott Fitzgerald’s book, and it ties back into the abstraction of the role of God. “The wind had blown off, leaving a loud bright night with wings beating in he trees and a persistent organ sound as the full bellows of the earth blew the frogs full of life. The silhouette of a moving cat wavered across the moonlight and turning my head to watch it I saw that I was not alone” (Fitzgerald 33). The moon is used to demonstrate to the reader
images I will describe. According to Eric Jaffe, the moon is a symbol for a middle ground between dark and light. I chose to interpret this symbol as a categorization of a neutral good person, as I see myself, which means that I try to do the best for everyone. It is also a good kind of metaphor for how I feel like life is lived, with periods of bright light and darkness, quite like the phases of the moon. Quite like my other interpretation of the moon is the reason I chose the night sky full of stars
Dream Big Again America went to the moon in the 1960’s, during a time of war, a time that was so far behind in technology compared to now, but yet human beings went to the moon .

Without an atmosphere, the sky is black at midday and the temperatures swing by hundreds of degrees from day to night.

earliest Maya settlers followed rivers into the lowlands and discovered the land was fertile and could sustain them, so they planted crops such as seeds, squash, avocado, manioc, pineapple and various tropical fruits. The most important crop the Maya planted was maize. Maize first appeared around 3,000 B.C.E and was developed from teosinte, a type of seeded grass. Remnants of domesticated maize have been found, causing speculation that maize originated in valley and river regions of Mexico. The Maya
