Sunset

Do colors and emotions have a connection? In our everyday lives, colors impact the way we feel without even noticing the connection. Color is an inseparable part of our lives that we tend to perceive things through. It has a deep impact on our emotions and feelings. We learn as we grow, especially in school, to associate colors with emotions. For instance, children in school learn that the color green is associated with being glad and red being associated with anger. Yet do they know that the…

The Trip of a Lifetime Ever since I was little, I loved the idea of going all over the world. My family never had the money to travel anywhere exciting, but the summer of 2016 was different. My uncle Terry lives in Spokane, which is in Washington. My mom decided it was time to go on vacation and visit, so we hopped on a train and went to visit him. My mom, my uncle Cory, my four cousins and I all went together, so they could also see Terry. In my opinion, the most exciting part was the train…

Often times when reading translations of Shakespeare’s sonnets, the true essence of the poem is lost, which can be seen particularly in sonnet 73. When reading the original sonnet, the reader feels the raw emotion described in the fight with aging, which is described through the seasons and colors. These descriptions cannot simply be converted without losing the central metaphors of the poem. While the paraphrase misses the complexity of the poem it also diminishes its sound pattern, which is…

Illustration from the 7 Jewish Feasts Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and Ending, the First and the Last. God knows the end from the beginning, He alone traverses time (both past and future) into eternity. God cannot be boxed into time (like humans), He is greater than time – He has no beginning of days or the end of life, He is from everlasting to everlasting. He alone knows the exact day when the kingdoms of this world would end and a new heaven and earth will take their place.…

the burger joint to swarm like moths to a light. Robert slouched, bit by bit, button by button, as the bar slowly filled with the jeering of teenagers sipping on cheap beer and watching whatever sports match happened to be relevant that night. The sunset hid behind a forest of ripped jeans, sweaty tee-shirts, and baseball…

agencies, abolish old ones, and even completely redefine the responsibilities of existing agencies. The arm of the legislative branch responsible for such decisions is called the Sunset Advisory Commission. This agency was created in 1977 and is composed of 12 members, ten legislators and two citizens. Since its creation, the Sunset Advisory Commission has abolished 79 state agencies. Thirty-seven of which were completely removed, and the remaining 42 had their responsibilities reassigned to…

The beginnings can be less intimidating, more pleasant, if we forget the magical perfection and the guaranteed success of the first step. There are a few things that I must discard because I do not have enough space: old bicycles, damaged furniture, books, letters, photographs; unpleasant memories. I have discovered, through books, through the humility and decent living of their characters, life lessons that do not stop to amaze me. So, if that can be caused by some inanimate beings, the…

from NASA's astronauts. In space, their bodies have to go without the normal cues that we don't seem to notice on a regular basis, which keeps the body in check. In fact, they are worse off when they are in orbit, exposed to numerous sunrises and sunsets which confuse their circadian rhythm. NASA has conducted plenty of research to make sure their astronauts are safe, sound and well-rested. What NASA Has Learned About Sleep: Your body is ruled by external cues: You need both light and darkness…

of the waves crashing onto the shore, the feel of the bright sun shining down onto my skin, the seagulls cawing in the distance, the smell of the salty water in the air, and the feel of the sand on my bare feet. Have you ever had piña colada in the sunset? Well, it’s unforgettable. Ever since I was six months old, I have been fortunate enough to visit the place that I love with all of my heart. I have made many great memories here with my family. Throughout my life I have returned to the…

She was talking how they felt out of place from everyone else. About how Ponyboy loved sunsets and reading, while most greasers like rumbles and getting in trouble. Ponyboy felt he did not belong with the other outsiders. How Johnny felt too weak to be a greaser. How Darry could’ve grown up to be a soc if it wasn’t for Pony and Soda. He felt…
