Shadow (Rough Draft) Behind me, in front of me, besides me, and even under me. My dog Tucker is my very own shadow. From when I get home to when I go to bed he is my little brown and black shadow. Even when the sun isn’t shining, he sticks to my side like glue. My shadow follows me to the couch, the kitchen, and also my bed. I have to tell me shadow “NO” when he tries to follow me into the bathroom. Even tho having a real life shadow can get annoying, I wouldn’t trade his warming eyes and soft…

The Great Wave Off Kanagawa and The Inlet of Nobuto are visually very different, contrasting drastically in the conveyed emotional expressiveness. Both paintings clearly portray a great interconnection between men and nature, as to point out an important theme fundamental to Japanese art. However, in The Great Wave the nature seems to rebel against men, while in The Inlet of Nobuto it embraces them inserenity and harmony. Perhaps, this change in dynamics reveals various life circumstances the…

It all started on the morning of September 2nd. The thick, foggy air gave off a somewhat mystifying feel to it. Not in a bad way, but in an adventurous, thrill-seeking way. As I was on top of my neighborhood hill in Oklahoma, I watched the sun gracefully rise as the golden rays cut through the immense blue sky. The spectacular view instantly made me smile. As school was coming around the corner, I knew I had to do one last stunt. Sitting next to me was a brand new solar-powered jet pack that I…

there are more people on one side of the painting than the other which also makes it asymmetric. There are more cool colors used in this painting then there is warm. I see a couple things that are red and a few that are a light yellow color, but besides that, there are all cool colors being used. The red is in two scarfs and the yellow is in the man’s scarf and the boats in the background. In this painting, they use several different textures and cool colors. The water seems to be very even in…

In order to find the answer to this question, it must be broken down. What are photons? How does gravity affect light? What is a black hole? A photon is typically seen as a particle or wave representing a quantum of light or other electromagnetic radiation. A photon carries energy proportional to the radiation frequency but has zero rest mass. Photons are currently best explained by quantum mechanics. However, it is important to know that photons have both the qualities of waves and particles…

Flamestreak padded on the bank looking out over the water pondering life, she stopped and sat down hearing the crunch of the rocks and sand against her paws. It was a warm day and the sand felt warm against her freezing toes, it was a harsh leaf-bare and everyone was glad that new Leaf came at last. There was more prey and the flowers started to bloom, even the cat mint field was fresh and new; the kittens would play with their mothers in the field as the fathers would look on smiling and gladly…

The sun suddenly appeared in the sky. My fingers were numb, and every single bone in my body was shaking, even though I had six blankets on. I was sitting on a cliff, and if I moved any more than a foot I would plummet to my death. That’s right, I risked death to see the most “exhilarating sunrise of my life”, which is what everyone with me said. They also said the clouds would go away. So to pass the time, I envisioned a beautiful horizon with orange and pink cotton candy-like colors. And the…

Today is going to be just like any other day, I sketched in my morning journal. The morning Baltimore sun shone past the skyscrapers of downtown, and light protruded through the silk blinds that covered half of the picture window in my room. I rose up from my queen bed. The sheets had become untucked and the comforter lay halfway off the edge. My back rested against the mahogany headboard with my head fitting perfectly between two of the wooden posts. I felt my knotted hair falling out of the…

following observations; Euglena is a unicellular organism in the kingdom of Protista, the cells are both autotrophic and heterotrophic which means if there is no food source but there is a light source they will fall on their autotroph tendencies through photosynthesis while if there is a food source but no true light source they will fall on their heterotroph tendencies. Euglenas show positive photo-taxis due to their ability to preform photosynthesis; this unicellular flagellate uses its “eye”…

He woke up with a start. Breathing heavily, he looked over at the empty dog bed beside him. "Miss ya, bud.." He'd sigh, closing his eyes as he flopped back onto his bed. It had been a year; no, it had been two years since he had lost his friend to the incident. Now, his life, his motivation; lost to the overwhelming darkness that consumed him, day by day. It wouldn't take much now for Odyssey to fly into a blinding rage at the next stupid thing he'd encounter.…
