Half of a Yellow Sun

Overthinking causes many effects on people, from going crazy to even feeling free. “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Stetson is on how the narrator of the story gets carried away in her mind by a yellow wallpaper. Through the story, the narrator finds herself both trapped and set free due to the wallpaper, which has an odd peculiar pattern and a woman, with also the writing that helps her through the story with both factors helping her gain control in her being able to break and feel…

Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun and the second largest planet in the solar system. Saturn is the farthest planet from Earth and not visible to the naked human eye, but it is through a telescope that the planet’s most outstanding features can be seen: Saturn’s rings. Although the other gas giants in the solar system, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune, also have rings, those of Saturn are without a doubt the most extraordinary. Saturn is a gas giant made up of mostly hydrogen and helium gas,…

“Are you sure Ali?” asked Grace hesitantly, squinting her eyes in disbelief. “I don’t see anything.” But sure enough, after another half-hour of cycling the oars endlessly through the water, and propelling the lifeboat through the waves, Grace and Chris could make out the distant green strip of land jutting into the relatively calm waters of the evening. As the sun set and the sky changed from blue, to purple, to pink, and then back to blue again, Chris and the two sisters never stopped rowing,…

As I walk along lazily, I dig my feet into the sun-warmed golden sands, still damp from the retreating tide, as to fend off the blistering rays from the furnace of the day. The pulsing heart of the sea allows my ears to adjust and calibrate to the rhythmic percussion of the waves, which were harmonious with the calls of the gulls. As they encircle me, it becomes clear that they are interested in the violet-bed of mussels that are burrowed within the grey stones above the tide line. The salt…

resulted in the ant moving in arbitrary directions. We know from earlier on that the sun is a source of unpolarized light and also the point in the sky where it is maximally unpolarized, Thus, by completely depolarizing the entire sky, the suns unpolarized light/position gets drowned with the other unpolarised light. The fact that the ant loses orientation, in this case, proves that the reference point the ants use is the sun. It also makes sense because bees and ants seldom roam out of their…

Museum Visual Analysis The artwork that I chose to write about was a piece that was at the Arlington Museum of Art. The artist and title to this piece are unknown. I chose this particular piece because it was one of the first pieces of art that drew my attention. The colors were so vivid, bright, and full of life. Though there is no mention to the artist I believe that he or she were creating this piece to bring some kind of joy or happiness, a sense of peace for one to just be able to empty the…

and wakes us up. There is no better excitement than waking up early for a road trip. The road is dark but we’re not going to let anything stop us. After about an hour on the road the sun is finally starting to show itself painting the sky with all sorts of beautiful colors. There were the perfect shades of blues, yellows, reds, and oranges, all mixed perfectly like someone had took a paintbrush to a canvas and took long, graceful strokes back and forth. Now it’s mid-day, we’re halfway there, the…

moulded, fired at 1,300 degrees, hand painted, and fired again in the Chinese city of Jingdezhen, (a town whose only activity has been making porcelain ware for over 1,000 years), over a two year period by more than 1,600 artisans. It took two and a half years to manufacture this huge pile of ceramic husks out of the fine, white, soft clay from local mountains.…

Passionate pinks and oranges would come just out of that finally resting upon a vibrant yellow source. I caught myself thinking once, “This looks exactly like a painting.” Yet, I was quick to remember that such a painting could only be based on what was right in front of me since Earth is the original artist. The lower the sun slipped, the more intense the colors became until the horizon swallowed the sun and yellow turned to orange. Slowly, the pink and purple would disappear and you were left…

development of The Penny Press. In 1833 the New York Sun was launched by a man named Benjamin Day. Other big city daily newspapers were currently selling for six cents a copy, so his idea was to sell his for only a penny. Containing local news including, violence, sex, and human interest stories, The Sun attracted a mass amount of readers and in turn, The Penny Press began. The New York Herald launched soon after in 1835 and had even more success than The Sun. The New York Herald contained a…
