the characters to search for meaning in their lives. The main hindrance to their own personal discoveries is materialism. Materialism prevents the characters from flying by "weigh[ing] [them] down" the way a peacock with "all th[e] jewelry" on its tail "weighs it down" (Morrison 179). The only way for the peacock to "soar" is to relieve itself of its "jewelry" much like Milkman, Hagar, and Pilate are only able to find purpose in their lives after shedding materialism (283,179). Milkman is in…

Similar to how theater works, the setting sets the scene for a book. Authors use setting to let the reader picture what is happening; the more intricate a setting is the more a reader can visualize it. Authors also use setting to help the reader connect to the characters. JD Salinger and F Scott Fitzgerald both used detailed setting so the readers can picture where Franny and Zooey, and Gatsby and Nick are during the story. The setting plays an important role in how characters interact with each…
back. I learned some people’s stories, and they told me how they really were interested in a relationship with God. I don’t think I had ever felt a better feeling knowing I was able to influence that. As the sun began to set, the group made their way back into the hotel. Alexandra and I both laid on our beds in silence, staring up at the ceiling. I looked over at her and she seemed to be deep in thought. Finally, she spoke…
Figure C- Honeycomb As brought out earlier, mathematical patterns are present here on earth, but they also appear in outer space too. The Milky Way Galaxy, for example, contains a near perfect mirror image of itself. This is prevalent since it has two major arms, Perseus and Scutum-Centaurus. In addition to mirror symmetry, the Milky Way Galaxy also contains logarithmic spirals similar in design to nautilus shells and sunflowers. These logarithmic spirals are present from the center of…

They are shown with slanted eyes and buckteeth, while speaking with poor grammar and accents. This portrayal is one of many ways in the film that stereotypes are exaggerated. More examples include the melodramatic, romantic, and pudgy Italian chef and the overly Scottish terrier. Studies show that stereotypes often arise in children’s lives from the media. Disney films…
Uranus: Uranus was discovered in 1781 by a British Astronomer named William Herschel, using a 6 inch telescope. At first he thought that it might be a nebulous star or even a comet, but after continued observation, he realized that it appeared to be a disk in the sky that moved relative to the stars. The movement was far too slow to be a comet and soon enough he realized that he had discovered the 7th planet at the time. At first, he wanted to name it Georgium Sidus which translates to…
