caller for her, but doesn’t work because she’s fragile like glass. Because each symbol in the story shows what they represent, it includes the feelings and their actions. Furthermore, the glass menagerie symbolizes Laura as a transparent glass. When light is shined on the glass,…
but they share a common purpose, and it’s important to know how they work. Light passes through the cornea of the eye, which has the job of protecting the eye and refracting the light so some of it can enter the pupil. The pupil is surrounded by the iris, which may come in different colors, has the ability how much light can enter the pupil through the process of shrinking or dilating itself, acting like camera. Once light enters the…
The photo I decided to write about is one of the still life photo I call “Oranges and Orange Things”. I specifically chose this picture based on objects in the picture and how they all compile together based on their shape and mass. In this photo, I will be talking about three elements of composition: form/shape, color, and space. Within this photo, each item has a series of geometric shapes—mostly comprising of rectangles in the soaps and dryer sheets as well as circular in the tide…
Abstract This experiment investigates the effect that acid rain (simulated by altering the pH of the water using 0.5 molar Hydrochloric acid) has on the photosynthetic rate of the aquatic plant Egeria densa. For this experiment I used a dissolved oxygen probe to measure the dissolved oxygen content of the water with an altered pH. By tracking the dissolved oxygen content of the water I was able to monitor the photosynthetic rates of the plants with the knowledge that high levels of dissolved…
darkness around him, he sees her as a light. When he talks to her on the steps, he remembers it like this, "The light from the lamp opposite our door caught the white curve of her neck, lit up her hair that rested there and, falling, lit up the hand upon the railing". This light is his childhood thought about love. He has now moved passed this into a darker realty of realistic expectations. The narrator who is recalling this childhood memory as an adult uses light and dark elements to show a…
1. What is this play about? Consider textual, subtextual and contextual layers of the dramatic text. Consider all of the elements of drama. Textual: Both Marion, an eighty-year old women, and a young girl also named Marion, sit in a park as they both do every morning. Through conversation, it becomes apparent that they are in fact the same person at the opposite ends of one shared life cycle. The younger Marion, simply referenced as ‘girl’ in the playtext, represents the beginning of their…
In the piece, “Pool Players,” George Rose paints in a style that at first glance appears to be almost abstract. But quickly, figures appear that give a sense of very intense movement. People are surrounding a pool table, leaning in for a shot, reaching out over the table, resting along the side, or straining over to see the result of pool balls colliding with one another. The view of the table is seen not at eye level or from above the pool table, but somewhere in between. For me, an entry…
creation of artificial photoreceptors as well that could connect to neurons in the brain to create the image for the blind person to see. The key component in the blind person gaining sight is the creation of artificial photoreceptors because they detect light. Photoreceptors convert information into chemical signals that stimulate neurons that process movement, color, and details that the brain can interpret. With the photoreceptor doing these tasks the information then passes the optic nerve…
matter or space. Waves are caused by vibrations. There are two types of waves, transverse, and longitudinal waves. The moving particles in transverse waves travel at right angles to the direction of transverse. Some examples of transverse waves are light waves and radio waves. A longitudinal wave is also known as a compression wave. The moving particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave. An example of this is a wave moving through a stretched out slinky. Image 1: There are…
3 Ways To Boost Furnace Effectiveness When the warm air inside your house leaks out quickly, your furnace will have to work harder than normal to keep your home warm. Having walls, ceilings, and floors that are properly insulated will go a long way with keeping the hot air in, but they are not enough. Windows are one area where air tends to leak out the most, and if you ignore them, your furnace won’t be operating at optimal efficiency. Double-Pane Windows If your home is older and still has…
