Star of Bethlehem

The documentary of The Star of Bethlehem was very impactful. As a whole, the documentary was excellent in many ways. To begin with, the message wanting to be showed was very successfully delivered. Mr. Larson had strong supporting evidence to his side, and he also avoided being bias by including other sides of the argument. Also, the content of this documentary was very interesting. I was quite impressed with the findings about the star. Lastly, the journey this guy went through to find out what he needed to know was a very neat story. Overall, the documentary was quite interesting to me, and the guy did a very good job explaining his side of this argument. Throughout this documentary Mr. Larson uses ethos in order to get his points across. Using ethos he appeals to the morals of people. The way he does this is through religion. The morals of a Christian would be to believe what the bible says. Personally, I think he uses ethos as a hook to get people on his side. If you…

This final lab also allowed me to analyze how I will use my Spanish and…

I look up to the sky and see millions of stars, and I wonder to myself. What makes them light up so bright, and what makes them a star? What does it take to create a star; they just don’t pop out and shine bright. I want to know the process, and how long it takes for a star to be born. I am also curious to know if the star can die. I plan on finding the answer. I believe that they are created by gases and that they die when they use up all of their gases. Stars have had an impact in our…

There are many theories for how life started on earth. After reading many theories, I found the Lighting and Panspermia theory the most interesting. These two theories made the most sense to me even though they don’t have much in common. The Lighting theory is the idea of chemicals from earth’s early atmosphere working together with chemicals and lighting from erupting volcanoes in order to create the first life on earth. The second theory is the Panspermia theory, the idea that earth’s first…

And throughout the observable universe, there are million of stars out there just like our sun. These stars could be different however, with either more mass, volume, heat, etc. In our high school career, we learn a lot about astronomy, such as the order of the planets in our solar system. We also learn about gravity, rotation of planets, and how long it takes…

his use of stars throughout his poetry to signify a light in the dark. Neruda uses a star motif to indicate a positive feeling or outlook surrounded by the harsh darkness of negativity. Neruda suggests that there can only be light if there is also darkness and the emotional highs and lows in life must ultimately balance out. In his poems, Neruda uses the motif of stars to portray positive emotions in contrast to the negative emotions represented by night, showing the reader that people cannot…
