material that wouldn’t burn out quickly” (“Thomas Alva Edison”). He didn’t want to give up until he had invented something special. Thomas showed great determination during the invention process. “‘Edison never let failure stop him,’ Israel told TFK. ‘He knew he had to struggle to find answers and create something new’” (“Thomas Alva Edison”). Quitting never appealed to the inventor. Trying new perspectives and pursuing his goal, even when most people would have given up and moved on with their lives is a quality that Edison possessed. However, Thomas didn’t stop there. After he invented the lightbulb, he continued to make new and innovative creations. “Edison held over 1,300 US and foreign patents, and his workshops at Menlo Park (1876) and West Orange, NJ (1887), were significant as forerunners of the modern industrial research laboratory in which teams of workers, rather than a lone inventor, systematically investigate a given subject” (Iasevoli). Some of his most well-known inventions are the phonograph, motion picture, electrographic vote recorder, the iron ore separator, and of course the famous light bulb. Thomas Edison used his determination to go and get what he wanted and worked to create something that would make life a little easier. Carrie Underwood is another person that knew what she wanted so she decided to follow her dream. Even as a young child, singing was her passion. “She started singing at a young age, initially at church and later in school and…

An orange, a round sphere filled with vitamin C. Everyone has eaten one and knows its distinct flavor. Oranges probably do not have much meaning to you; they are just a fruit that tastes good. In “Ode to an Orange” Larry Woiwode describes how an orange brings him to a warm and sunny world when he is stuck in the frozen winters of North Dakota.

Light blues fill in the sky, doorways, and many other components of the set. Mia and Conor’s clothing, though not exuberant, always feature components made up of light colors…

Emotions in Hues Other than being painted all over the earth and giving beauty to all objects, color can hold a deeper meaning than what many people acknowledge. Recurring color represents a repeating emotion or meaning. In the novel Life of Pi by Yann Martel, there are several colors representing feelings that accompany Pi and his journey in the lifeboat. He does so with only the company of a tiger and his own thoughts. Whenever the color orange is brought up, there is a feeling of hope, a…
