Marie Curie A glowing particle of radium sat in the dark with all of its pitchblende dirt particle buddies. A sliver of light was let in by the almost shut door, and as the sliver grew bigger, the shadow of a woman appeared on the ground. Marie Curie stepped into her lab, and began to gather the tools she needed. She picked up the little jar of pitchblende and brought it to a workstation and began sifting through it. The footsteps that had been working their way to the door finally reached it…

wasting light and diminishing the darkness. In this article, Bogard is suggesting that we should be more conservative when it comes down to light usage and light pollution. To support this argument, Bogard composed and used three techniques, which are quotes, empathy, and questions to lure his reader into complete persuasion.

I notice that there’s already a considerable amount of light reflecting off the blanched walls. With the experience of a 9 year old, I can tell it’s already well into the morning.

Why am I sitting here in a library, attempting to put my time towards this essay? Why did I work hard in high school so I could make it to a new level? Why am I working hard now to make it to an even higher level? Surprisingly enough Plato 's 500 year old allegory holds the answer and sets up the perfect metaphor for those previous questions.
