Water Is Life Observation Project

Improved Essays
My Observing Project is on the show “Water is Life” from the Samuel Oschin Planetarium at The Griffith Observatory. My expectations for this show are everywhere, I am not one hundred percent sure what to expect but just looking at the title and the illustration, I expect to be based under the sea. I am also guessing it is going to show us how life is composed by water just using some context clues. One thing I want to learn more about, and maybe a little confused about, how is water related to “Astronomy” since Astronomy is the study of the Universe.

My last example was that Salva accepted fifteen hundred boys to walk with him to the refugee camp in Kenya.…

In Walter's stories, through relatable characters in stories with hidden connections in often unrelatable ways, he presents themes relating to minorities that are important to all of society. The first of many relatable characters is Wayne “Bit” Bittinger. Bit is a homeless man who at the opening of the story had just recently been kicked out of the catholic shelter he had been staying in due to “drunkenness, fighting, and sacrilege” the former being fictitiously (6).…
