or that something exists.” Gatsby believed truly in the green light, a representation of the perfect ideal that the human race can never quite reach, an ideal of a perfect life that eludes humans even still. Upon Gatsby’s death, however, this belief seems to die with him, leaving Nick with nothing but a disillusionment with his surroundings and a cynical view of human nature and the American Dream itself as nothing more than a green light; a seemingly obtainable future that is in actuality so…

A Visible Sign of an Intangible Hope The green light at the end of the dock in The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald symbolizes a false dream not able to be attained by material means, but only when remembering where one came from can the true dream be found.

Throughout the story it is reiterated that Nick has a Midwest type of…

7.09 am, I was awake. Greeted by the blinding light of the morning sun shining through my bedroom window and welcomed into the chaos by the erratic beating of my own. It had taken exactly 10 hours for Sudbury to die away. I sat there thinking, something I often do. I had large gaps of memory. I thought back to day that marked the end of humanity, or I thought so. A journalist’s voice droned on from by bedroom radio, but I wasn’t listening. Tony Blair has said remarkable progress is being…

The light is so much more than mere illumination. As I experienced, being in the presence of the Light was healing, loving, and fostered a sense of belonging, of home. This is because the Light is Christ, Himself. Also, according to His words, to know Christ is to know His Father. Christ is the way, the bridge to have a relationship with God. To know Christ is to know God. As there are many religions, beliefs, ways of believing in a deity or higher power, all are missing God’s divine truth…

modern day traditions, the origin of the jack-o’-lantern is found in the lore of a specific subculture. During the 17th century, the term “jack-o’-lantern” was used to describe the mysterious lights that could sometimes be seen over bogs, marshes, and swamps in Europe. Often blue and purple in color, these lights occurred randomly and would always recede when approached for closer scrutiny. The technical name for the phenomena is ignis fatuus, (Medieval Latin for “foolish fire”), but is more…

How Eyesight Works When light reflects off an object, it scatters in all directions. Even the reflected light from a single point on the object scatters in the same way. If this scattered light hit a photographic film, you wouldn't see a photograph of the object because the light from every point on the object's surface is spread out and "smeared" across the film. However, if you place a lens at the right distance between the object and the photographic film, scattered light from each point of…

Marie Curie A glowing particle of radium sat in the dark with all of its pitchblende dirt particle buddies. A sliver of light was let in by the almost shut door, and as the sliver grew bigger, the shadow of a woman appeared on the ground. Marie Curie stepped into her lab, and began to gather the tools she needed. She picked up the little jar of pitchblende and brought it to a workstation and began sifting through it. The footsteps that had been working their way to the door finally reached it…

The shade of our sky is created by the transaction of blue-light scrambling via air atoms and white-light-dispersing by water drops and tidy. A splendid red nightfall blurring into a wounded purple luminosity invokes pictures of tropical heaven and sentiment, while the blue sky on a sunny day can put a bob in our progression. Truth be told, both are brought on by light dissipating through particles noticeable all around. The huge variety in the shades of night falls relies on upon the grouping…
