Mountains of the Moon: A Re-inscription of the Colonial Master Narrative If Richard Burton and John Hanning Speke were alive in 1989 to see the release of Bob Rafelson’s Mountains of the Moon, what would their response to the film be?

people have written stories, poems, and drawn pictures to represent the world around them. However, the question occurs: Is art a form of nature? One possibility, as suggested through symbolism in Wallace Steven’s “The Poem That Took the Place of a Mountain” is that mankind can recreate nature through art. An alternative, as suggested through personification in “The World is too much With Us“ by Williams Wordsworth is that humans cannot recreate nature through art, and mankind is disconnected from the
“High, high from the summit of the peak, / Whatever way I look, no limit in sight!” and “High on the mountain top / I can see to every horizon” begin the poem by Watson and the Wandering Poet respectively (1-2). Watson’s use of repetition of the word “high” can be interpreted by a reader as having the feeling of a larger mountain or peak. Conversely, the Wandering Poet’s translation may make this mountain seem smaller and less important. The Wandering Poet’s translation also gives the reader less room
physical characteristics, the Composition and structure, and the moons of Mars. Mars is full of mysteries as well as it’s physical characteristics. Planet Mars is known for the rust color which is due to the iron-rich minerals in the planets regolith. A regolith is a layer of unconsolidated rocky material covering the bedrock.

exactly how the moon was formed. There are many theories, but that is all that they are. Two of the biggest, most supported theories are that of the planet Theia and the theory that the moon was formed from loose debris, from Earth's formation, gathered together by gravity. Although, no matter how the moon was formed, all life on Earth benefits from having it. Not only does it affect living animals, humans, and plants, but non-living things too! There are many facts about the moon, and with those
Apollo 11 landed safely on the moon on July 20, 1969. Neil Armstrong stated that this was, “One small step for man; but one giant leap for mankind. Conspiracy theorists claim that there was no actual moon landing and it was all faked. The reader will conclude that these are merely just theories and that there was in fact a moon landing. Apparently a colossal 25% of Americans believe that the moon landing is a hoax and not fact. Motivation for this large hoax was to beat Russia in the Space Race,

It leads audience follows the lines and sharp points of the dead tree at the front and the church in the town. Then, the sight will follow the swirls and stars of the night sky.

know as the Land of the Golden Mountain. One challenge that the immigrants face in this story is that they are thought of as inferior by Americans, or "demons" as they have begun to refer to them. Demons are not accepting of differences; therefore the Chinese are looked down upon, and don't get equal rights and privileges. For example, Moon Shadow's grandmother tells him that his father traveled to America to work as a laundryman before he was born. She tells Moon Shadow that gold, in the Land

live life wisely through the use of archetypes, imagery, and diction. Archetypes of mountains are used in both When You Are Old and Eldorado to convey the importance of a sagacious way of life. In When You Are Old, William Butler Yeats uses the archetype of a mountain to represent a spiritual journey of “Love”, which he personifies. Yeats writes “…Love fled/ And paced upon the mountains overhead.” The speaker is saying how his love is out of the women’s reach because it left and placed

Mercury - surface geology Mercury is a very gray planet, which houses no living creatures or any ‘life’ in General. Mercury's surface is covered in impact craters, basaltic rock and smooth plains, many of them caused by what they believe is flood volcanism. Other features include vents which seem to be the cause of magma-carved valleys, often-grouped irregular-shaped, termed "hollows" that are believed to be the cause of collapsed magma chambers throughout the planet.

The moon is a wondrous thing. Every night it's outside, up high in the sky, giving light to the world. Most people take advantage of the moon's light, because they don't know why or how the moon shines. Scientists today are busy proving theories and studying the moon, which will hopefully help society to understand the moon more. They know a lot about the moon, but there is still much more to learn. ?The Eagle has landed.? Many people use this phrase without knowing where it came from. On
