the story “The Rose Tree” the little girl was scared and upset about not being able to bring home the candles. The stepmother “pretended not to mind the loss” so that the little girl will calm down. Most parents would try to calm their kids down because their kids would usually mean more to them then some material object. Grethel was so relieved that she was not in trouble about that the candle that she did whatever the stepmom asked of her without second guessing it. If Grethel would have…
spelled two different ways. The candelabra lighting is the main part of the festival. The candelabra holds nine candles. However one of the candles is the shamash, also known as the consequent, which is used to light all the other candles. Each night a candle is lite by the shamash. That process is continued for eight nights when all the candles are lite. Each night, right after the candles are lite, the people that celebrate Hanukkah eat fried food and sing traditional…
In flame and filament, Nicholas Carr expresses the importance and significance that the candles and old ways of lighting had and still have on our society today. He talks about how back in the day families used the candle light and light from the fireplaces to bring them all together, thus inadvertently creating a family bond. He goes on to show us how in today's society with all of the technological advancements families don’t spend as much time together because of the ease and availability of…
was always topped off with smelly kerosene. Though we didn’t need it very often it was always there waiting for those power outages. We also had flashlights and batteries back stocked. Along with that there were the candles that I was infatuated with. I must have had 30-50 candles around. With all of those things we were more then prepared. We always had a bic lying around some where around the house so…

Ghost Light is a play written and performed by Shawn Wright and directed by Thomas Morgan Jones. I attended the performance at Theater New Brunswick’s Open Space theater in Fredericton, New Brunswick on Friday November 25th 2016. The one-man show told the story of a boy native from Saint John, New Brunswick. That boy was in fact the actor himself, you were transported in his world through a heartfelt and authentic performance. The play as inspirational as it could be told the audience that it is…
According to one of Judaism’s central texts, called the Talmud, Judah Maccabee and the others who were involved in the rededication of the Second Temple thought they saw a miracle. There was only supposed to be enough oil to keep the menorah’s candles burning for one day, but, the flames stayed lit for eight nights, giving them enough time more oil. Time of Year and Length Hanukkah falls on December 2th and ends on December 10th this year.…
Artemisia Gentileschi was an Italian Baroque painter working in the first half of the 17th century. She is one of the more known female Baroque painters of today, though for a while her work was attributed to that of her father, Orazio Gentileschi. While she had trained under her father, she far surpassed his skills (Simons). Artemisia Gentileschi took advantage of her position as a woman to paint other women, something many of the male artists of the time would not have had access to (Simons).…
For example, when a candle burns it gives off phlogiston. The phlogiston keeps on building up inside the jar and there comes a time when there is no room left for phlogiston. So, the candle flame will go out. If noxious air is present in the jar then the candle flame will go out faster. Same will happen if a mouse is trapped inside the jar. The mouse will release off phlogiston as he breathers…
As I peered down at the candle in my hand, I knew God was calling me to go forward. The more I thought about it, the more my hands began to shake. At the age of 12, this was not a calling I was ready or prepared for. Looking around at the candles in kid’s hands around the chapel, the feeling became more and more prominent. The pastor had just finished a profound message about sharing the light of Jesus in your heart, and the whole time he was speaking, I felt that he was speaking directly to me.…
