Light Years

the corner of my eye, amongst the beautiful fall scenery and warm houses was a guy, creeping out the back mill door. I couldn't make out his face, but it looked very suspicious, all dressed in blue, walking out of the mill which had been closed for years now. His blue covering was stained as he ripped it off, flinging it into the deck of his red pickup truck. Then,…

The first image I will be analyzing is a cover of The Handmaid’s Tale, Bloomsbury Edition. The combination of white and rouge creates a simple contrast between the background and the content. This contract draws the reader’s attention to the title of the book. However, the slightly grey vines also distracts the reader’s eyes by leading them away from the text. I believe this design would work better if the vines were drawn in an even darker grey. The repeated usage of the vine design above and…

He was lost. There was no question about it. At first, the jungle had seemed a nice enough place, full of peculiar yet interesting birds and animals, and strange species of smoke expelling plants which grew in all random corners of the sharp rigid landscape. But now as the day began to grow darker and darker, his senses became more and more alert, and he began to play tricks on himself wondering whether it was just the ruffling of giant leaves which grew on the odd, violet coloured plants that…

Voyage 35050 Thunder crackles in the middle of the night as I try to fall asleep. I roll in hopes of finding comfort on the hard floor. No luck as usual. I then sit on the floor and stair at the darkness that fills this ship. A thought suddenly rushes to my head. “Dad, dad, dad I have a an idea stop just open your eyes and listen.” I whisper. “Can’t you see I'm sleeping?” dad responds. “No one can sleep with all the coughing, crying and thunder. Just please listen.” I reply. “Nadim, can’t you…

7.09 am, I was awake. Greeted by the blinding light of the morning sun shining through my bedroom window and welcomed into the chaos by the erratic beating of my own. It had taken exactly 10 hours for Sudbury to die away. I sat there thinking, something I often do. I had large gaps of memory. I thought back to day that marked the end of humanity, or I thought so. A journalist’s voice droned on from by bedroom radio, but I wasn’t listening. Tony Blair has said remarkable progress is being…

The rough dark storm arising from the clouds only made it seem more like fate. After all, Adrius only awoke from the eerily loud sounds outside. He creaked downstairs to his parent’s bedroom, like any 6-year-old would do when they woke up at midnight, but the fear from the noises was only the start of it all. He creaked open the door to where he thought his parents were, but where were they? Looking around the room, he saw nothing but an empty bed, a cupboard and all the other furniture found in…

The dress was perfect to see my idol: Abigail Adams. The dress cost me a $25, I don’t even know how I’m gonna pay this back to Abel; but it’s perfect. The bottom portion is crimson at the ends bordered in gold lines, loops, and flowers. The top is a white blouse that complements the gold and crimson. I squeeze into the dress trying not to wrinkle it. Thank God it fits. I look out the window of my small bedroom. I see Abel’s hazelnut hair an absolute mess, like always. He was chopping wood for…

Light is an electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by humans. Electromagnetic radiation happens in an extremely large range of wavelengths from gamma rays to radio waves. Within that spectrum the wavelengths visible to humans are few. Light is very difficult to define, in the sense that scientist have been arguing weather light is a particle or a wave. Many experiments have been done to proof weather light is a particle or a wave. The truth is that light sometimes acts as a wave and…

If I could meet a person, living or deceased, I would want it to be Alexis René. She is an 18-year-old model who is always looking at life through an optimistic lens. Although it seems superficial, the reason why I would want to meet her goes far beyond her looks. Alexis René has been through loss, yet she continuously strives to live a happy, healthy life. She has been a very inspirational and influential figure to me because she has what my generation lacks—a passion to live. Even as a child,…

Why do different elements display different patterns of lines in the spectra? (Pages 44 – 49) a. Each element can display a different pattern of lines in the spectra because the atoms can absorb “very specific wavelengths from white light.” (Slater) 9. What is the Doppler Effect? Why is it important to astronomers? (Page 49 – 50) a. The Doppler Effect is the “apparent change in the wavelength of radiation due to the relative motion between the source and the observer along the…
