Black Holes: A Narrative Fiction

Wright was a talented great singer until she married Mr. Wright. Mrs. Wright was imprisoned in her own home. Mrs. Hale shared, “She used to sing real pretty herself.” (Glaspell) She displayed signed that she was no longer a part of the outside activities in addition to giving up singing. Mrs. Hale stated, “Wright was close. I think maybe that's why she kept so much to herself. She didn't even belong to the Ladies Aid. I suppose she felt she couldn't do her part, and then you don't enjoy things when you feel shabby. She used to wear pretty clothes and be lively, when she was Minnie Foster, one of the town girls singing in the choir. But that--oh, that was thirty years ago. This all you was to take in?” (Glaspell) In addition she also stated, “ I could've come. I stayed away because it weren't cheerful--and that's why I ought to have come. I--I've never liked this place. Maybe because it's down in a hollow and you don't see the road. I dunno what it is, but it's a lonesome place and always was, I wish I had come over to see Minnie Foster sometimes. I can see now” (Glaspell). Mrs. Wright was stripped of who she was after marrying Mr.

As the women walk through the house, they begin to get a feel for what Mrs. Wright’s life is like. They notice things like the limited kitchen space, the broken stove, and the broken jars of fruit and begin to realize the day-to-day struggles that Mrs. Wright endured. The entire house has a solemn, depressing atmosphere. Mrs. Hale regretfully comments that, for this reason and the fact that Mr. Wright is a difficult man to be around, she never came to visit her old friend, Mrs. Wright.

The play begins in Mrs. Wright’s kitchen. The Sheriff, county attorney, and a few neighbors are there because Mrs. Wright’s husband has been murdered. The question is, who murdered him and why? Could Mrs. Wright be a tragic hero? The men are in the process of investigating the murder, but the women are more worried about the appearance of the house. While the women are in kitchen discussing the appearance of the kitchen and the fact that Mrs. Wright was worried about her fruit preserves, the county attorney makes the comment, “I guess before we're through she may have something more serious than preserves to worry about.” (3) Mrs. Hale responds with, “Well, women are used to worrying over trifles.” (3)

Wright explains that someone must have come in, in the middle of the and slipped a rope around her husband’s neck while she was asleep next to him, she states, “I sleep sound.” Mrs. Wright didn’t seem concerned never moving from her rocker, she kept rocking and pleating the apron. The men searched the kitchen which appeared unkept and found only kitchen items, nothing out of the ordinary. Her neighbor Mrs. Hale came in and said that she hadn’t been in the house in years, she states “It hasn’t been a cheerful place” (561). Mrs. Wright is now being accused of murdering her husband and her only concern was her preserves, the county attorney sates, “Held for murder and worryin’ about her preserves” (561). The ladies that was in the Wright house was discussing how Mrs. Wright used to be, dressed up in pretty clothes, was lively and confident, she lost that over the years and now “She didn’t even belong to the Ladies Aid” (562). They guessed she couldn’t do her part and felt shabby, so she kept to herself. The ladies thought she killed her husband and practically convicted her right there in her kitchen. The women are constantly worrying over Trifles, or something that is totally unimportant. After Mrs. Wright is arrested for the murder of her husband the two ladies take Mrs. Wright quilt to the jail to keep her

Response 1 “The widow Douglas, she took me for her son, and allowed she would civilize me; but it was rough living in the house all the time, considering how dismal regular and decent the widow was in all her ways: and so when I couldn’t stand it no longer, I lit out. I got into my old rags and my sugar-hogshead again, and was free and satisfied” “Her sister, Miss Watson, a tolerable slim old maid, with goggles on, had just come to live with her, and took a set at me now with a spelling-book. She worked me middling hard for about an hour, and then the widow made her ease up. I couldn’t stood it much longer. Then for an hour it was deadly dull, and I was fidgety.

Finally, the reader is introduced to the character around whom the story is centered, the accursed murderess, Mrs. Wright. She is depicted to be a person of great life and vitality in her younger years, yet her life as Mrs. Wright is portrayed as one of grim sameness, maintaining a humorless daily grind, devoid of life as one regards it in a normal social sense. Although it is clear to the reader that Mrs. Wright is indeed the culprit, she is portrayed sympathetically because of that very lack of normalcy in her daily routine. Where she was once a girl of fun and laughter, it is clear that over the years she has been forced into a reclusive shell by a marriage to a man who has been singularly oppressive. It is equally clear that she finally was brought to her personal breaking point, dealing with her situation in a manner that was at once final and yet inconclusive, depending on the outcome of the legal investigation. It is notable that regardless of the outcome, Mrs. Wright had finally realized a state of peace within herself, a state which had been denied her for the duration of her relationship with the deceased.

Laurel briefly remembers her parents’ marriage. The reader is able to infer that their marriage was difficult, like any other, but very real. Becky and the Judge used to sit up at night reading aloud just to hear the other’s voice. Welty even added to the reader’s idea of the Judge and Becky’s marriage when she adds parallelism on how they both died. They both die when an illness begins in their eyes, and the Judge goes to see the Becky’s old doctor. On the other hand, the reader infers that the Judge marries fay as a cure to his loneliness, while Fay marries Judge McKelva for his money. The beginning of the novel depicts Fay as more worried about the festivities in New Orleans than her own husband’s heath, and when he dies, she is extremely worried about what he will’s her. Through all of this, the reader can infer that the Judge and Fay did not have a marriage based on

Mrs. Hale is the wife of the farmer Lewis Hale, and is first introduced as walking onto the scene next to the sheriff’s wife, Mrs. Peters. Mrs. Peters is a slighter and wirier woman compared to Mrs. Hale, who would be considered a more ‘comfortable’ woman if not under these somber circumstances. (Trifles, pg. 16) These physical descriptions set out can give readers a small insight on the lifestyles and socio-economic conditions on to which these two women differentiate, one a humble farmers wife, the other an upright sheriff’s wife. As the scene unfolds, there is an immediate sense of resentment conveyed, which is shown by the condescension shown to her by the men in general and in particular because of her gender and domestic occupation of being the neighboring farmers wife.

I walked around cautiously hoping not to get caught. Dang. Walked around three hours before I got that baby. God. I was like a tiger watchin its prey. Ahh I can't get over wutta beauty she was, the switchblade I'd always wanted. All black n silver shiney. I wanted it. So I took it, gally, I didn't care if I was stealing, I wanted her badly, and I got it. Anything I ever want, I get. The workers were staring at me the whole time so I had to be careful. As soon as she was in my hands and I walked out the door I felt like I'd just won a grand prize of some sort.

Mrs. Hale reflects on the marriage of the Wrights, “Not having children makes less work-but it makes a quiet house, and Wright out to work all day, and no company when he did come in”. She then focuses on mean John Wright, “He didn’t drink, and kept his word as well as most, I guess, and paid his debts. But he was a hard man, Mrs. Peters. Just to pass the time of day with him-. Like a raw wind that gets to the bone. I should think she woulda wanted a bird. But what you suppose went wrong with it?”. Ms. Hale compares mean John Wright with sweet and kind Mrs. Wright, “She-come to think of it, she was kind of like a bird herself-real sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and-fluttery.

Without knowing the existence of black holes, we would still be stuck with many unanswered questions concerning physics. The most important one would deal with the correctness of Einstein’s general relativity. When studying cosmology, various equations are used in order to explain the different phenomena that it contains, which are derived from general relativity. With this theory confirmed, all calculations appear more certain and confident. These objects are fairly important as they are one of the least understood by humans because they depict laws of physics that appear completely different from elsewhere in the universe, but, with study, can be more understood. Being completely invisible, it becomes very difficult to observe and study them. However, astronomers continue to develop different methods to do so. The question that remains is: What exactly is a black hole? How do they work and abide to the laws of physics? Simple answer, black holes are regions in space containing gravitational fields so strong that even light cannot escape them. As a result, they absorb anything that comes close and becomes trapped by its grip. Black holes come in various forms and sizes, which work differently depending on their properties. These properties, such as mass, charge and angular momentum, help in defining black holes and it is using this that it is possible to derive the math to understand them.

A black hole is a terrifying thing, it is dark and empty and some would say it is the essence of nothing. If a person desires to understand a black hole, their best bet to finding its meaning would be to first understand the purpose of nothing. In the dictionary nothing is defined in six ways; one is the state of being nothing, two is nonexistence, three is lack of being, four is death, five is utter insignificance, and six is something without value. The primary point of these definitions is to show the complex and numerous ways nothing can be defined. These definitions also show the negative force that surrounds nothing which seems to highlight its hidden evil and reveals the looming cast over it much like a black hole. In this sense it seems that whatever creation, God constructs, nothing much like a black hole is close behind to take the light away from it. Nothing, therefore is the substance that makes up the sins of humans, and the substance responsible for corrupting the soul. It is a remarkable coincidence that two philosophers were able to stumble upon the same conclusion, that nothing and God were central to the spiritual and physical anatomy of the human being. Leibniz and Descartes see nothing as its numerous definitions suggest, except with a twist. To them, nothing represents the faults, sins, and evil nature of human beings. However, even though both Leibniz and Descartes see nothing as a key part to a human’s makeup, they hold different views as to how

“Now, rise Jackson, your sister, Audrey is already awake!” Barbara said audaciously with a start. Jack did his daily routine, take a shower, brush his teeth, and comb his hair in front of his mirror. In the mirror stood a slim young man barely 14 with short hair and dark stormy, gray eyes. A look of disgust on his face with lines of anger across his forehead, Jack was a very ill-tempered boy. But Audrey, she was a year younger than him who was cunning and humorous, a smile was always present on her face and she was full of determination. Jackson and Audrey got dressed to go their uncle, Sir William Everett’s, castle in Manchester for the day. It was a gloomy day in England on October 31st, 1910, it always was in Jack’s perspective. He was after all living in the time of the Great War, everything to him was dark and somber. As they boarded their carriage to go from Liverpool to Manchester, Jack saw the entire town full of costumes,
