Granite

After reading “The Raven” by Edgar Allen Poe I noticed that the poem had a very depressed mood to it. The main point was that the main character was sitting is his chair and something knocking on his door grabs his attention. The character acts if it’s nothing, but that situation is reminding him of a lady whom he had feelings for called, Lenore. He would use uncommon language to express a situation but in a harsh way. For example, in line 6 he used “in the bleak December”, this basically…

now appreciate the art programs and focus on art in my education growing up. I always had art at least twice a week in elementary school and I had a class every year in high school. It is simple to take something so accessible to me, like art, for granite. Because of my exposure to this subject, I fell in love with it. I realize that with art comes expression and that can be so powerful in a society that is influential. This project helped me grasp the idea that art lessons outside of a school…

Electromagnetic waves are a type of radiation that is produced from electrons (negatively charged particles) and x-rays is a type of electromagnetic wave. The shorter the wavelength of a wave, the more energy the wave emits. Gamma radiation has the shortest wavelength amongst all the other electromagnetic waves and has the most energy. It cannot be seen or felt and can pass through almost anything. X-rays have slightly longer wavelengths than Gamma rays and has the second most energy emission.…

Valley glacier that melted and created a shallow lake, which is Lake Yosemite. Lake Yosemite eventually filled in with silt, leaving today's level Valley floor.” Rocks also make up a lot of Yosemite, as it is mostly made up of plutonic igneous rocks. Granite, granodiorite, tonalite, Yosemite Valley first started forming Eighty to twenty-five million years ago. The causes that contributed to this great formation of this place in our own backyard, was uplift and erosion that stripped away most…

went to the kitchen and detected that the counter was still blocked by that over glorified fishbowl. The true boss battle had begun. I scaled the side of the counter to make my way to the countertop and I dragged myself down what seems to be a cold granite tunnel. After a long journey I finally reached the cupboard. I saw that small red jar of my favorite snack and checked inside. Nothing. Not even a morsel was left. I silently mourned the loss of my beloved food. I make my way back down the…

Australia was officially explored by Captain James Cook in 1770 while he explored the east coast, he claimed it for Britain and called it New South Wales. Australia was then considered a pearl colony because the first settlers were criminals (Ducksters.com 1). In 1803 Matthew Flinders sails around Australia and proves its an island. In 1824 Australia is named from “New Holland” to “Australia.” “In 1829 The…

“Workmen would use a number of different tools to cut the blocks, including copper pickaxes and chisels, granite hammers, dolerite and other hard stone tools…. white limestone, had to be found further from the building site.” (Crystal). The materials used to make the blocks were simple, not being difficult to make made them easy to produce. The blocks themselves…

Komunyakaa states, “My black face fades, / hiding inside the black granite.” (line 1-2), stating his origin. However, this is more than an expression of race. In these lines, Komunyakaa suggests he is imprisoned in history he helped create. His involvement with the war carries haunting memories that will continue to resurface…
