I take a step outside, and I feel a blast of chilly Fall air as it breezes leaves through the wind. I love the Fall outdoors. Once I go outside I escape everything: My older sister, my noisome and demanding dog, and my small mountain of math homework left unfinished. The smell of Autumn invades my nostrils, and it reminds of the time before pre-Algebra, when I had so much free time. Free time to be spent on complaining about how much that I needed, just needed, a new bicycle. I did eventually…

Symbols in The Great Gatsby Throughout the novel, The Great Gatsby, there are many symbols that help the novel portray a greater plot than just a wealthy man who falls in love with a woman. These symbols help the reader divulge into greater thoughts that help the reader better analyze the plot and structure of the novel itself; they keep the reader on the edge of their seat of what is about to happen next. These symbols also help to give the reader better insight into the characters’ thoughts…

A somber scene descended over the granite subterranean chamber. The torches cast a flickering orange light over the entire mausoleum. Incense wafted through the air. Four rows of royal generations lined the crypt’s far wall; the brass name plates and gold edging refracted eerily in the fires’ hue. A few minstrels played doleful laments from their harps and rebecs. In the midst of this environment, a small yet diverse group mourned the deceased royals. Sadly, due to the circumstances and timing…

portrayed to be saying, “He is my minion, she is my minion”. The little did I know buying those shirts would be a cornerstone of our whole relationship. While she decided with her favorite and I feel the most common girl color, pink. I chose the color of I like the best and the color of my favorite college team, crimson. Something that started out as a simple corny gift, ended up being something I will always…

The sky in the background is in a shade that gives it a grey blue color. This serves a couple purposes. First, it lessens the details in the background providing the atmospheric effect. Second, it places more emphasis on other aspects of the painting. When wondering what it draws emphasis to, the crashing wave stands out…

examine the independent variables, which are the colors of light, temperature and pH, the dependent variable of our experiment is the motility of the Euglena cells, the positive control is white light while the negative control is when there is no intentional light shined on the bacteria; we cannot keep all light off of the sample. We hope to be able to observe which direction the Euglena migrates towards by doing this, we will repeat each separate color three times in order to determine if our…

In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald developed many motifs that span the whole book, Since a motif is a recurring image, detail, occurrence, etc. that an author develops to unify an idea and/or explore an idea, I chose the green light found throughout the book. The green light represents Gatsby’s dream to be with Daisy again and the perfect future that he strives for with Daisy. This idea is found throughout the book especially when Nick sees Gatsby alone at the end of chapter one, when Nick…

get outside on such a beautiful day. I sat down on the bridge and looked down at the shining river. The water was twenty feet below me and looked about fifteen to twenty feet deep. The large trees surrounding the river had just changed to their fall colors, and some leaves began to drift down. Fall was my favorite time of year, with football games, the cold weather, Halloween, and Thanksgiving nothing was better. I layed back on the bridge, threw my arms above my head, and sighed. I had many…

I remember waking up early in the morning, even before the sun began its day. I knew it would be cold, but still I couldn't wait to get out on the water in my grandfathers boat. "Come on sleepyhead, don't forget the early bird catches the worm," my grandmother called out. I'd holler back, "I'm awake," even though I never understood what a worm or a bird had to do with anything. I was eleven years old and had so much of life figured out, and it wasn't until I was thirteen that I realized I was…

Picture yourself in a desert. You are alone, left to your own thoughts and the sound of the wind blowing in your ears. I can close my eyes and experience this very feeling of lonesomeness and solidarity. Christina's World by Andrew Wyeth causes me to experience these feelings when I am left to myself to study the painting. Upon first look, one is immediately drawn into the girl, laying almost limp on the ground. One might wonder if she chooses to be this way or if it is due to a medical…
