“Laika” and “Flotsam” “Laika,” by Sarah Batkie, and “Flotsam,” by Jeremy Allan Hawkins both deal with the idea of being lost. While “Laika” uses space and Laika the dog as a parallel to the narrator’s sense of isolation in the world, “Flotsam” approaches the idea of being lost through the description of a ship floating astray in space. Where they differ, however, is in the use of space in the pieces; while “Laika” uses space as an accessory to the fiction narrative being told, “Flotsam” is…
History and Prehistory are somewhat homologous in some aspect. For instance, both of them are within the timeframe of the past. But the certain edge that somehow detached history from prehistory is the certainty that there are already written events in the past to clarify history and this is still nonexistent during prehistory. Thus we can conclude that prehistory is the span of time before the era of recorded history. History can be explained as a record of the events that happened in the past.…
According to Abrahamic religion belief there is Being, God, who is the sole creator of the universe, and every single thing occurs the way he wants it. God (Allah) has no gender, because of that I will use both pronoun He/She to refer to God. There are three major attributes about God; omnipotent, omniscient and omnibenevolent. Now, we need to find out what each of the three terms mean? Omnipotent means a being, God, who has unlimited power. For example, She can make something appear just out of…
“Fearis, the festering God. Birth into the vast and dark aether, alone and empty. Confused Fearis was the total opposite of the darkness, wild, spirited and curious. Anything that might wake the chaotic vastness was used including violence, diplomacy, and all tricks that she could think of were put in place. Alas, nothing worked, cold and empty from lack of anything but the dishearten goddess, took to slumber. At the time… well, existence didn’t exist so records of the length of slumber can't…
In the plot of the story, the rising action was when the river has been born or created as it says “I came from the edge of the sky. I descended from the sky and now I creep on the surface of the earth” (Kargar 33). It grabs the reader’s attention that something has been happening. For example, the extended clouds, nothing was visible, rain was pouring down, the drops were gathered, and tears began to flow, are the action words which develop a conflict or rising action in the story. After that…
appropriate with the laws of physics. And all of it is technically possible and even though it is only a bit fraction of a second scale. Wormhole is the theoretical passage in space-time that may create shortcuts for a long journey through the universe. These are the predictions of the theory of relativity. But wormholes also bring the danger of sudden collapse, high radiation and dangerous contact to an exotic matter. We can travel forward or in the future but we can never go back…
With the knowledge that we possess today it is almost insane to think that there were those who used to believe that the earth was flat. It almost seems understandable that before the first voyages around the world that the belief of the earth being flat was plausible because if you do not know the solid facts then what information or theories that are provided are the only form of knowledge on that subject and those are the choices to choose from. It maybe an educated guess but it is just that,…
things caught my attention was Center in the Universe show, the planets, and Moon Phases. First, I saw the Center in the Universe. It was an unforgettable experience because the place is arranged with comfortable and recumbent chairs. The dome shows a beautiful blue sky with clouds around. I felt literality as I was in the sky. The show started with all the lights turned off giving the impression that nobody was there. A lady appeared talking about our universe and turned light on with like a…
Fried, poached, scrambled, boiled, deviled-these are all methods one can cook an egg. In the end, one will still be left with an egg, regardless of how it was prepared or looked. The myths related to the creation of the world are very similar to the concept the various preparations of an egg. The basic components are similar; however the specific way that it is attained differs. Specific differences are found in the creation myths of the Iroquois, the Igbo, and the Christian faith; however the…
Origins The “colonial period” of America is characterized by the influx of settlers from many different places around the world. Whether the inhabitants of the New World are descendants of Spanish conquistadors, poor Irish potato farmers, African slaves, or even Native Americans, their origin in America is crucial to their cultural identity. For the Native Americans, there is no story about the voyage across the Atlantic; however, their creation stories play a crucial role in their identity and…
