A Report On The Sun

The Sun is Also A Star tells the story of Natasha and Daniel, two teens in New York City. Natasha is Jamaican and moved to the US illegally when she was eight years old. Daniel is a first generation American citizen but his parents moved to New York from Korea a few years before he was born. They meet in a record store and end up spending the day together wandering the city. They are reserved at first but eventually establish a great connection and learn so much from each other as they discuss their belief (or lack thereof) in god, fate, and destiny. The problem is that Natasha’s family is being deported back to Jamaica that night. Daniel teaches Natasha that sometimes things happen for a reason and Natasha teaches Daniel that sometimes, life is unfair. The book addresses 21st century themes through the characters narratives and issues, including immigration, the American Dream, and modern views on God and fate.

The Five suns is creation story of the Aztec based on the mythological account of space, time, universe, people, animals and the world they lived in, as they understood it. The myth explains life’s unknowable obscurities to the Mesoamerica Mexica and Azteca people and it deeply rooted in their culture. Per the Archaeologist Nicoletta Maestri, “they believed their world had been created and destroyed four times before, and the current age, the fifth sun, would also end in violence at the end of the calendric cycle.” The mythologies claims that human have the responsibility of making sense of their surrounding as well as live by the god’s rule who have made human existence possible by sacrificing their blood and bones. The story begins with the primary maternities couples named Tonacacihuatl and Tonacateuctli known as Ometeotl or the gods of duality. They created the nine level of the universe and instructed their four

The religion detailed and examined throughout Don Talayesva’s “Sun Chief” can be difficult to understand and near impossible to appreciate. At first glance to the casual reader it can appear shallow and ridiculous; a religion created around the wants and needs of the Hopi but not based on any empirical or even supposed sacred evidence. When coupled with The Sacred Canopy however, the reader begins to understand the simplistic beauty of their religion providing necessary guidance and support to the Hopi tribe. The reader also is able to relate to Don’s religion in terms of the love one has for his or her own dogma and the importance it plays in an individual’s life.

In the novel, Copper Sun, Sharon M. Draper quotes a fictional auctioneer: “Do I hear more than ten pounds for this fine example of African womanhood? Hardly a scratch on her. Bright enough to be taught simple commands, like ‘Come here’ and ‘Lie down’” (52). Amari, the terrified teenager the auctioneer was talking about, was recently taken from her home, chained, and crammed into a slave ship set for America. While on the slave ship, people underwent hunger, sickness, thirst, rape, and death. Though Sharon M. Draper wrote these characters as fictional, they correctly portray people that have lived during that time period. Because of this, Copper Sun is historically accurate and correctly depicts the story of an African girl, as well as the

In “Creation of the Sun and Moon”, Jordan Clark describes the deities roles in the birth of the Moon and Sun and how the Earth became inhabited by the human race. I chose this myth because I found the story behind the creation of the Sun and Moon to be compelling as the goddess of water Maguayan and the god of the sky Kaptan, scattered the remains of their grandchildren in remembrance of the life they once possessed, now remembered for the light they shine down onto humanity. “And so it was the golden Liadlao who became the sun and the copper Libulan, the moon, while Lisuga’s pieces of silver were turned into the stars of heaven” (Clark). Even though the three grandchildren were following their power hungry brother; Likalibutan in his plan to gain more power by attacking Kaptan, their grandparents still forgave and wept for their grandchildren. The gods are both vengeful and forgiving as Kaplan punished his grandchildren for their actions, while afterwards, the children’s remains were gifted with a blinding light that continues to be gazed upon with wonder by both the immortals and mortals alike. Another example of how wrathful Kaptan can be upon arrogant and power-mongering mortals is shown in his actions towards the mortal, Pandaguan, who claimed to be able to conquer the gods. “Then Kaptan, hearing this, struck Pandaguan with a small lightning bolt, for he did not wish to kill him but merely to teach him a lesson” (Clark). This quote teaches the lesson that to question

In The Sun Also Rises, during the transition of society from World War I to post-war, values transformed from the “old-fashioned” system of what was morally acceptable to a system that held the basic belief that anything of value, whether tangible or intangible, could be exchanged for something of equal value. This novel specifically pinpoints the transformation of the values of money, alcohol, sex and passion (aficion), friendships and relationships, and even one’s pain.

The Rule of the Sun originates from African Cosmology in the Yowa, Dkenga where it is also referred to as the Kongo Cross. The Kongo Cross works on the symbology of the sun. For example, the human soul rises like the sun rises in the morning, it sets in the evening, and is reborn again to create another dawn (REF 4). In regards to spirituality this is considered as a rise and peak in our awareness. However when we experience problems such as setbacks, dishonour, calamity, African Americans claim it to be a spiritual death due to impurities from living in the physical world of selfishness and fear (REF 4). Early African Americans believed that when someone personally experiences a spiritual death, it was their calling to the spiritual world

“For those wracked by melancholia, writing about it would have meaning only if writing sprang out of that very melancholia.”

Suncoast, Florida is a narrow peninsula with a stretch of 20 barrier islands and over 30 miles of white-sand beaches extending along the Gulf of Mexico. It is also referred to as Florida’s western coast, as well as Florida’s Beach Communities. It is hed that Mayor Samuel G. Johnson of St. Petersburg, Florida is responsible for coining the name Florida’s Suncoast in 1952. It is an enchanting beach haven, with clear blue waters and powdery white sand, and has been described as boasting “more sunshine than Honolulu,” Hawaii. Needless to say, it is a rarity when the sun doesn't shine in Suncoast. The region is one that of filled with cultural richness, evident in the theaters, museums, and music venues inland.

About 22 years ago WWIII began. They say the world population dropped from 7.5 billion to about 2 billion. Then 1 year later The Dark Sun rose. The Dark Sun is a terrorist group lead by Emperor Sivorisk. They rose from the ashes of the world, and they are the only ones in history to ever achieve what any super villain wants… world domination.

In the story “Stop the Sun” by Gary Paulsen the theme is some people have problems that sometimes we can’t understand because it isn’t something that can’t be understood, but the knowledge that we obtain when we ask questions is more beneficial than when we don’t try to seek understanding. The story “Stop the Sun” by Gary Paulsen is about a boy named Terry that has a father and sometimes his father’s “eyes go away,”. This worries Terry and causes him to want to know more about what’s happening to his Father. He looks for answers to his questions everywhere because he justs wants to understand.

One of the major themes of Osamu Dazai’s The Setting Sun is the socioeconomic fall of aristocracy in Japan following World War II. The title itself reflects these core themes: when the Japanese write down the name of their home country in Kanji (one of its three alphabets), it  roughly means “land of the rising sun”. The Setting Sun is an allegory that the glory days of Japan have come to an end, specifically their ancient aristocracy and their old families, as well as Japanese culture. The comfortable bourgeoisie becomes the hard-working proletariat and the historical situation changes as the material circumstances changes. This social and economic change is both subtly and unsubtly shown through the main characters’ flashbacks and stories; Kazuko and her family come from a long line of aristocrats but now face the reality of living without power or status. Following three major events -- the death of Kazuko’s father, Kazuko’s divorce to her wealthy husband, and the nation-wide economic crisis caused by the war -- the family finds themselves out of money and out of luck, challenging the way they formerly viewed the world, themselves, and their class. Through their mother’s incompetence, Kazuko’s difficulty in working, and Naoji’s existential crises, Dazai deconstructs the classist ideals that claim the wealthy gained their status and capital because of hard work, strength, intelligence, and personal superiority while remaining sympathetic toward the upper classes.

Throughout the documentary, Catching the Sun, the links between the economy and the environment were explored through solar power. The connection between two of America’s most pressing political issues, unemployment and energy, was expressed by activist and writer, Van Jones. He further explained this connection in his book, “The Green Collar Economy”, where he explained that green collar jobs are the new blue-collar jobs and these two issues can easily be solved by using solar energy and employing those who are currently out of work. This was exemplified with the company Solar Richmond, which provides job training and opportunities in the field of renewable energy. The film followed a class of individuals as they trained in solar installation

     The sun is the largest object in the solar system. It is a middle-sized star and there are many other stars out in the universe just like it. Even though it is only a middle-sized star it is large enough to hold over 1 million Earth’s inside if it were hollow. The temperature on the sun is far too much for any living thing to bear. On the surface it is 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit and the core is a stunning 27,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit. But don’t worry we are over 90,000 million miles away, the sun could never reach us, at least not yet. The sun is a still a middle aged star and later in its life it will become a Red Giant. In this stage it will get bigger, and closer to us causing a temperature increase and most likely the

The narration of the film In the Heat of the Sun is bathed in masculinity. The story basically follow the male protagonist and narrator, Ma Xiaojun, his gang of male friends, and the masculine world they inhabit. There are only three notable exceptions to a film that consists almost entirely of men and boys: the protagonist 's nameless mother, and two girls his age: Yu Beipei and Mi Lan. Both girls are amongst his cohort, and are therefore the main focus of the whole gang’s adolescent desire. However, the overwhelming masculinity of the movie leaves little room for the exploration of the female characters’ identities and personalities. In fact, perhaps unintentionally, the film In the Heat of the Sun objectifies the women, and reveals how
