    Moreen’s relationship with Morgan is not common for a mother and her son. She treats him like a mere object and considers him to be worthless as he “fetch[es] her fan”. Readers can also infer that Mrs. Moreen speaks harshly of him because Pemberton is able to note that a “boy of eleven shouldn’t catch” the things she says. Nevertheless, she still has the caring heart of a parent and the reader can assume that she chose Pemberton because he was the most intelligent and wants the finest tutor for son, who must be dealing with a medical condition. Assuring Pemberton that his wage will be “quite regular”, he is able to understand that the definition of “regular” varies between…

    Scattered light from an object goes through the lens of the eye, which focuses the light and forms an image on the back surface of the eye, called the retina. The retina then sends signals of the image to the brain. How does a lens focus light? The light passing through a convex lens, which is thick at the center and thin at the edge, always bends light rays together so that they come together at a focal point. A concave lens (thin at the center and thick at the edge) does the opposite and bends light rays outward.…

    In Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks he talked about the difference that light and dark would make on the human eye. He noticed that human eyes would change in the sun verses the way they would look in the dark, their pupils would dilate, or contract. Since he did art work he wanted to get the pupils correct when he would do a picture so he did an experiment using a candle held above a person when they looked at a star, then slowly the candle was lowered while still watching the star to see what would happen. (I am assuming that he used someone else to do the experiment on, sorry if I am wrong but they were notes to himself so I don't know for sure.) I like learning about him and other artists because I love to do art so like the “google scholar”…

    The cornea, or lens, is a transparent covering of material at the front of the eye, which creates an image of an object by mixing light in a process known as refraction (Klein). During refraction the light rays pass through the cornea and pupil and hit the lens that creates an image on the retina. The retina then sends the image to the optic nerve that makes you able to see. The eye can work like this because it has its own lens that is able to focus on an image that is given to the retina. Since your pupils grow and shrink, depending on how much light is present, the image that is given to the retina may be larger, smaller, or the same size as the object (Roberts).…
