The room was cold and damp. The only light I had was a small candle that flickered from the chilling breeze that swept the building. The chair I rested on was frigid, and stiff. My body craved heat, and my eyes long for light. This room, this job they have left me tired, and frozen. My dirt covered hands grasped the captive’s small meal. Previously I had meticulously sorted out the powdered sleeping agent, that I was to bake into all the prisoners’ meals. The white substance smelt slightly of…

The purpose of this spectroscopy experiment was to determine if the spectra matched the electronic transitions that occur in the hydrogen atom among several other atoms. We used the Bohr model of atomic structure to determine the orbit numbers that correspond with the spectrum emitted by the hydrogen atom. The Bohr model states that electrons will never be found in between states, but rather completely in one state or the other. We used this model to determine the initial n value at which the…

Chapter 4 -Emily- When I opened my eyes, I immediatly shut them again. This is much too bright.. I opened them to slits and sat up. I was lying in white bed with a very thin matress. Two large glass windows were on the right side of the room and right next to me a machine was peeping. That was when I realized that I had a needle stuck into each of my arms. Probably against the shock, I thought warily running through my hair. I felt filthy. My hair was definatly greasy and I could still smell the…

I pulled myself out of the bed, then had a strange feeling. I glanced down, and saw I wore nothing but a night dress, made of a thin black lace just above the knee. Where had my clothes gone? Feeling all at once naked, I rushed to the wardrobe, hoping there would anything, anything inside. I swung the door open to reveal a row of dresses and, under them, ridiculously…

I awoke on a grim and foggy morning. Ten inches of snow laid on the ground, and snow still drifted delicately down. My tribe, the Amorites, were all still sleeping. The visibility was but a few feet, and the atmosphere seemed strange. Something was brewing, but even I did not for-see what would happen on that dreadful day. As I stood outside breathing in the misty air, a piercing scream suddenly broke the silence. I sprinted indoors to grab my shield and sword and took off in the direction of…

the wind. It’s so weird. I never realized how detailed the ceiling was. Blinking, I instantly regret it as a headache hammers through my brain. I moan, trying to move. My entire body is similar to that of stone, cold and unresponsive. Only one light shines down and it’s as if someone switched it out with the noonday sun. Doesn’t make sense. This room has always been horribly lit. I try to sit up when two hands stop my shoulders. I squint. “Flich?” “Hey, kiddo,” he says with a weak smile. He…

shadows, only illuminated by the distant lights. This lack of direct artificial light seems to contribute to the overall aesthetic of the mural. Rather than artificial light, the luminous colors in the mural serve as its own source of light. Athena, one of the murals main sources of light, stands erect in the center, unremarkably poised, and beautifully clothed in a rich yet calming ivory white drapery that is lined with Columbia…

illumination within every chapter. The motif is indicative of Meursault’s character as a person. The ways that dark and light respectively affect Meursault speak for his personality where the words do not explicitly say them. The theme of contrasting light and dark being as prevalent as it is entails that the motif was meant to be noticed -- and is occasionally difficult for a reader to ignore. Light is commonly associated with aspects that are typically benevolent in nature -- such as hope,…

Symbolism of The Glass Menagerie In Tennessee Williams’ play The Glass Menagerie, there is an abundance of symbolism that can be identified through careful analysis of the play write. The story is based around the Wingfield family. The daughter in the story is the central point of most of the symbolism. Laura, the daughter, has a collection of glass figurines in which the title of the play was named after. Within the glass collection there is a glass unicorn which holds a lot of symbolism…
