    Through his book Whiteness of a Different Color, Matthew Frye Jacobson explores the intricacies of what is described as whiteness throughout United States history. Jacobson opens his introductory chapter by describing the roots of race in society. He describes how society has long seen race to be a result of biological differences, but that scholars have recently questioned this notion with classificational conventions of interracial children, along with the idea that some races have either emerged or disappeared entirely from the eyes of the public, whereas their descendents still exist. Jacobson first introduces the idea that race is created, not biological, with an excerpt from Philip Roth’s Counterlife, in which two characters argue over…

    Covalent bonds are the strongest bonds so the dye and the fiber will not easily break apart. The molecules that bond to the fiber carry along with them a chromophore which absorbs different spectrums of light, allowing only specific spectrums to reflect back for you to see. The reaction between the fibers and the dye depend on the pH of the surrounding environment.…

    Different cations when heated produced a different colored flame. The color of this flame was determined by the movement of electrons between the levels in the atom. When the fire heats the atom the elements jump levels because they gain energy, then as they fall back down in the orbitals they release energy which gives off the colored flame (Clark). Magnesium is different than many other elements, while it appears to emit no light it actually produces white light. This is because magnesium reacts with the oxygen in the air to produce magnesium oxide which is very hot and emits all the visible wavelengths at similar frequencies (USCB Science Line).…

William Greider (2001), a national correspondent for The Nation, asks if we are capable of rising above the ugly stereotypes perpetuated by the film industry (p. viii).…

    During stressful times and situations in life, many people have often found comfort in familiar things and routines. The comforts that people had during troublesome times is what kept them from not completely losing the person they were before the harsh experience. In All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr, several characters sought comfort in things or situations familiar to them during their stressful experiences during World War II. Many times that distraction was a memory, a tangible object, a place, or a way of thinking. Focusing on something familiar often provided the character with a distraction, which allowed them to calm their minds, focus, and carry on during difficult times.…
