Sunlight

An allegory can use a situation or event in order to reveal a deeper meaning or lesson. Allegories can act as analogies that point out logical inconsistencies and cause one to reflect and even question their own way of life. In Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave,” Plato intends to point out the prison-like obedience that humans who are “in the cave” have to their lifestyle, and the difficult choice of giving up this lifestyle in search of something more. This allegory displays the confining nature of…

Precipitation reaction, or otherwise known as double-replacement reaction, is one of the three common types of chemical reactions along with decomposition and combustion. A simple definition for the precipitation reaction would be “atoms from two different compounds switch places” (Lew 40). This means that one of the reactant’s molecule “trades” places with another from another compound to form products, like a precipitate, hence the term double-replacement. A precipitate is usually a solid…

first want to pick than prepare a plot of land and finally plant and harvest your crop. When choosing a plot of land, there are some factors to consider. First, the land should be flat; as a result your crops will receive the maximum amount of sunlight during a day without obstructions, such as trees. In an addition to that water drains and disperses evenly to all of your plants on flat ground. Next you want your garden to be close to your water supply. If you can’t reach your garden with a…

the floor would have been labeled B1, instead of F1. During winter season, the basement would become cold easily. When summer emerged, the sunlight would withdraw from our house because of the high stairs in front of our door, blocking the sunlight. My father who served as a pastor, made a prayer hoping for me to live in a warm place as I grow, where sunlights would freely shine upon me. Then, named me “Shine”as my first English name. How fortunate was I, moving to Hawaii with both my parents…

The ecosystem that has more area than all of Earth’s land masses combined is the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Ocean is an oceanic biome that is located between the Americas, Asian and Australian continents. It is the largest of the world’s five oceans ocean and is approximately 63.8 million square miles full of saltwater, ecosystems, and organisms. The ocean is an average of 13,000 feet deep and covers more than 30 percent of the Earth’s surface. These are just a few defining characteristics of…

conjunctival hyperemia, chalazion. Symptoms of ocular rosacea include dryness, stinging, burning, pruritus, photosensitivity and blurred vision. Almost 50% of patients with rosacea will experience ocular symptoms. External triggers for rosacea are: sunlight, heat, how beverages, spicy foods, vinegar, alcohol, medications (applying topical steroid on the face, ACEI, niacin), astringents, and stress. Rosacea does not improve on its own, and it will worsen if it is left…

language. When Peter entered the 7-eleven shop, “Sunlight filtered through the wide shop windows, the warm cocoa odor of the coffee machine wafted through the air, and the low humming of the hot dog machine snored in the background.”(1). The use “sunlight”, “warm”, and “snore” create an idyllic atmosphere as they convey a feeling similar to waking up early in the morning to the songs of birds and warm sunlight on your face. This is because the word sunlight has a positive connotation, it makes…

tall and surrounded by 10,600 mirrors reflecting sunlight toward the solar receiving tower. Although this is not the biggest solar power plant in the world, it is the first in South America. Chile’s geographic advantages have made it a perfect location for the beginning of South America’s move toward solar energy due to its vast wilderness, intense sunlight, and access to salt deposits to drive turbines through the night. With both the salt and sunlight coming from Chile, the plant is not…

part of the ocean, rocks and even air. Earth is a dynamic place so the carbon does not stay. It is moving in the atmosphere where the carbon is attached to some oxygen in a gas called carbon dioxide. We all know that plants use carbon dioxide and sunlight to make their own food and grow. The carbon becomes part of the plant. Plants that die and buried will turn into fossil fuels made of carbon dioxide like oil and coal over millions of years and when humans burn the fossil fuels, most of the…

AUSSIE SOLDIER IN KHE SANH WAR A deafening rumble of an explosion rose above their heads. The frightening whistling of artilleries and the terrible cries of wounded soldiers filled the air. A dense, misty fog floated through the trenches, adding to the sense of misery that already filled the deep, dark and gloomy jungle of Vietnam that was the “Khe Sanh War”. Jimmy stared at his rifle hopelessly; his spirit was gradually being chipped away by the humid, muddy and mosquito infected environment.…
