    In the essay “Dawn’s Early Light” by Richard Rodriguez, the author demonstrates how the addition of immigrants has changed how Americans view themselves. Since the 20th century, the Mexicans were illegally employed in order to suit the American needs: crop harvesting and cheap laboring. Even if the Mexicans are “disrespectful to American laws,” their presence also indicates the hypocrisy of Americans as well – by illegally employing them. The addition of Mexican immigrants also caused the assimilation of Spanish culture across the United States; that is Spanish being the unofficially, second language of the United States. The Americans are also not in control of the movement at the borders since it is an “aspect of tragedy, of circumstances,”…

    Fusion is when two atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus which results in the release of many photons. The photons released are the light that we see. The light produced in this reaction can have any wavelength. In the case of stars, a reaction of deuterium (basic nuclei) and hydrogen (basic atom) produce a helium atom with a photon which is seen as the main source of the illumination of the star. In the end, we are able to see that stars are made up of atoms through the use of spectral lines and our knowledge of fusion.…
