Caroline and I gazed up from her iphone at each other in shock. Our mouths agape, our eyes wide, and our heads shaking slowly in disbelief. Slowly proceeding into the school, I leaned into her and asked how we should react, but she only responded saying she did not know. Standing silently and stock- still for the better part of five minutes, it was impossible for us to comprehend why she had taken the picture. Eventually, snapping out of the daze, I recommended that we tell Mrs. Truesdale, our…

Again. You and Murphy were just heading back from a date at the waterfall you two found. It was kinda like your secret spot with him. A getaway. After what seemed like hours when in reality, a few minutes, you see something from the corner of your eye. “Murphy, look! Is that a…door?” He stops to catch his breath and gasps when he sees where you’re pointing at. “Come, Y/N!” You run over to where the door is, not daring to look back.

We just kept eye contact until my phone buzzed. I never thought that I would be falling in love with a guy who is childish. Starting freshman year, everything has changed. I did not know we would have classes together so…

The medication is prescribed according to the individual’s weight and height and will impact individuals in different ways. Cunha (n.d) also explains that if the medication is taken for long periods of time, it will occasionally cause very serious eye damage. Karmel (2011) agrees that taking Plaquenil for a long period of time will result in vision damage. How can Plaquenil and the side effects of long term use affect those using the drug and the visual system? The side effects of the frequent…

am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses--not destroyed-- not dulled them.” This story tells of a narrator struggling with mental illness and perverseness, leading to a great deal of guilt and fear. He also conflicts against the old man with an “eye of a vulture” that causes the climax. In “The Tell-Tale Heart,” Edgar Allen Poe uses three literary devices to mainly express the narrator’s conflict throughout the story. The three literary devices are symbolism, simile, and conflict. One can see…

Refraction In physics, "refraction" is the mechanism that bends the path of light through the eye. Refractive error is an optical abnormality in which the shape of the eye fails to bring light into sharp focus on the retina, resulting in blurred or distorted vision. Examples of refractive error are myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. In optometry, a "refraction" procedure is the measurement of refractive error by an eye care professional, usually for the purpose of correcting the error with…

and point of view to construct and develop the characterization of madness and insanity possessed by the narrator. The vulture eye is animagery that Poe includes to portray the anger. As the narrator gaze upon the vulture eye, “he [grows] furious”, and claims that it keeps his heart beat “[grow] louder, louder... [like] the heart must burst” (94). Though the vulture eye that caused nervousness which created anger and anxiety, the narrator still “loves the old man” (92). This leads to the thought…

The retina is a layer of tissue in the back of the eyeball that contains photoreceptors. These photoreceptors are called rods and cones. They are both sensitive to light and convert the light into signals that the brain can read. Rods interpret low intensity light, while high intensity light is interpreted by cones. Rods cannot convey color, but cones can. Rods are located around the outside of the retina. Rods come into affect with periphery vision. Therefore, when light is dim, rods are the…
