Analysis Of What The Moon Saw By Laura Resau

PRODUCED by Year 10 Drama Class from Mount Alvernia College, Matt Cameron’s Play Ruby Moon is a cyclical story of Loss and Despair. Ruby Moon explores the unbearable grief and Brokenness of the couple Ray Moon (Portrayed by Imogen Simmons) and Sylvie Moon (Portrayed by Maddie Stewart) Simmons and Stewart effectively portrayed the brokenness and unbearable grief through several dramatic elements such as: Mood and Ambience, Space, Conflict and Climax.

Alvin Lucier used trio-instruments including horn in F, violin and piano in composing his August Moon. Together, these three simple instruments construct a looping echo that repeats and varies as the music progresses, which creates an endless, timeless and dizziness feeling for listeners.

The moon is by far the biggest and most easily recognizable object in earth’s atmosphere that can be perceived by the naked eye on a cloudless night. It is hypothesized that it came into existence nearly 4.5 billion years ago, from residual debris after a planetary body collided with earth. Although, considered the runner-up to the sun as the second brightest object in the sky, its illumination is deceitful, insomuch as the moon is not a source of light, but instead reflects the sun’s illumination from the half of the moon that is in direct alignment with the sun at that time. More readily identified as a satellite of the earth rather than as a planet itself or even a star, it has a diameter a quarter of the size of earth’s size and it

The movie, Under the Same Moon (La Misma Luna), was a story about a hispanic mother named Rosario and her son named Carlitos. Rosario and Carlitos have been separated since he was five years old. Rosario left Mexico four years ago to look for a better life in Los Angeles. Rosario made the difficult decision to leave her son with her mother while she illegally immigrated to the United States to work, sent money to her mother for Carlitos, and called her son every Sunday at 10:00 A.M. on the payphone every week. Life as an illegal immigrant was hard. Money was very difficult to come by with Rosario's background, so she had to work two different jobs just so that she could put a little bit money aside. She sent money back home to keep her son fed, clothed and educated. At the workplace, she was always discriminated and treated as

Charlotte "Lottie" Digges Moon was born in 1840; she was the third child for her parents and had four sisters and two brothers. Her father, Edward Moon was the largest slave holder in Albemarle County; and was also a merchant and a lay preacher in the Baptist church. Her father was the owner of a fifteen-hundred-acre tobacco plantation known as “Viewmont”. As a young girl growing up Lottie was known for her astuteness and mischievous behavior. While living at home she studied with tutors, and in 1857 she went on to further her education at Albermarle Female Institute.

She was described as short, plump, and homely, she had yet to gain the character that would render her face so interesting according to her parents and siblings. Clara’s mother also neglected the child’s thick lustrous dark brown hair which was noted to be her one good feature. Her hair was close cropped which only served to emphasize her broad forehead and sallow complexion. Along with this, Clara had a speech impediment which caused her to lisp and this lead to increasing her bashfulness. Due to all of these difficult things Clara had to deal with on a daily basis, her timidness grew to be excessive. Clara’s mother regarded her daughter as shy and troublesome as well as “difficult to manage” this attitude only reinforced Clara’s own sense of being a burden. As she began to grow older, Clara gained a particular interest in helping others that could not help themselves and directly alleviating sickness or trouble. Her brother David grew extremely ill and sought to his sister for help. She spent large amounts of time trying to nurse her brother back to health. Clara refused to leave his side for nearly two years and acquiescing to his demands that she alone administer his medicine. Despite all of her relief Clara sensed a

When most people hear of New York, they mostly think of the “Big Apple” otherwise known as New York City, but not many think of Buffalo, New York. Moon Over Buffalo was just recently performed in the Gloria Logan Auditorium under the direction of Paul Bird. Moon Over Buffalo is a delightful play taking place the green room of a theater in Buffalo, about Charlotte and George Hay, their daughter Rosalind, her fiance, Howard, ex-fiance, Paul, George’s supporting actress and one-night-stand, Eileen, Rosalind’s nearly deaf grandmother Ethel, and Richard, the theatre company’s lovesick lawyer who is courting Charlotte. The script follows the cast through many twists and turns in show business, that lead up to frantic chaos, but ultimately results in a happy ending that is funny, and enjoyable. I believe that this was a worthwhile production to put on as well as go to see.

One was the journey Sal took with Gram and Gramps throughout the United States to get to Lewiston, Idaho in one week. They traveled to Lexington, Mount Rushmore, and then to Old Faithful. These tourist attractions are some of the few places Sal, Gram, and Gramps visited on their road trip.

I enjoyed the movie; it gave me another perspective on what happens to people who don’t obtain documented papers and will do whatever it takes to persevere just to survive. Before watching this movie, I was not as clueless as I imagined. I just never given it a second thought until I would see something about families, on the local news people getting separated or people dying because of inhuman situations. Under the Same Moon open my eyes about the love a mother has for her child, under critical situations, when the mother must leave her child, to find a better life for the child.

In the book, Moon Over Manifest, by Clare Vanderpool, Abilene faces many emotional conflicts that are tough for her to get through. Despite these obstacles, she overcomes these through great will and an unbreakable spirit. However, some of these stick with her.

Gemma’s journey also has similarities to the children’s book, Unhooking the Moon, (Hughes, 2010). Like Burgess, the author writes with relativity to his own backstory, Hughes opposed authority by stealing and shoplifting. The protagonists also set off on a journey which entails death, violence and survival. The tone of the narration which accompanies the story is another attempt at underplaying opposition of authority through a flippancy of tone to emphasize strong subject matter to the reader. Even though Unhooking the Moon is fictional, Hughes manages to deal with previously forbidden topics, such as paedophilia.

In the The Arogonauts by Maggie Nelson, she does not stick to one memory for too long as she moves on to the next memory quickly as soon as she finish the memory. She does not give the readers a lot of details in her memories. I feel that Nelson has written her memoir in a way that she wants her readers to keep up with memoire as each memoire is short. In her memoir, she talks about sexuality, gender and family. Nelson uses the literary tool of theme (family and hate) in one of her memoire at her disposal as a writer to convey her memoir,In this memoire, Nelson talks about why she resent her stepfather and the stepfather leaving the family. She resent her stepfather for not being her father and leaving the family after marrying her mother for

In the poem ‘Moon’, Kathleen Jamie explores themes of abandonment, loneliness and disconnection. She does this by utilizing a clearly dysfunctional relationship between a mother and child. The child replaces the either mentally or physically absent mother with the presence of the moon. To explore the emotional distance between child and mother, the author uses dark and light imagery to empathize the child’s loneliness and to evoke the scene of a parent visiting they child late at night. Personification of inanimate objects illustrates the detrimental effects the unavailable mother has on the child’s mental wellbeing. The poem ends with dialogue from the protagonist, the child, pointing out that the moon is not her mother, as if to be

Nick Wroblewski has become well known among the printmaking industry throughout the years. His multicolor woodcut prints are fascinating and inspiring. His recent work “Ear to the Moon” is the newest addition to his gallery, which Nick describes his work as a “bold and stylistic imagery”. This print can be created in multiple ways, but Nick used the process called two-block reduction or suicide print. This technique is a combination of two carved woodblocks to print specific areas of imagery. The blocks are carved away throughout the process and used to print additional colors. The carving into the image becomes more bright and apparent and between each color, let the prints dry before adding another color. The block is eventually reduced to

The "Moon Hoax" has been around since 1835, when the New York Sun printed an article about this whole ordeal. The New York Sun used and credited Sir John Herschel, who was a British Astronomer. Herschel claimed that he had tried out a new type of telescope on the Cape of Good Hope in January of 1834. While in Cape Town, he said he'd set up an Observatory. Using this, he claimed to have observed what he thought of as the "Real" Moon. He claimed to have seen vegetation, bodies of water, and living creatures. He also said he had seen "Bat People" who were described as being furry winged men. This took the People at a shock, and the "Evidence" and science astounded them. So many began to believe this is true.
