Moon Dialectical Journal

In the book, All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr, Doerr changes the narration of the book by interchanging the two characters’ perspectives. I think that the narration change between the two characters made the book more intriguing to read. One example of when the story was more intriguing was in chapter eight where Marie-Laure was hiding from the German soldiers who had been searching the house for a couple of days. This part was really intense because the soldiers wouldn’t leave until they walked away with what they wanted. The next section went on to tell the story about Werner and his mission in Saint-Malo. Werner’s interruption made the story more suspenseful because I had to wait a couple of chapters before finding

In the novel Alabama Moon a boy named Moon is the main character. Moon is very independent because throughout the story he does a lot of things on his own including living alone. On page 3 I found out that he was ten years old because it said “I was ten years old and he’d taught me everything I needed to know about living out in the forest.” So this showed me that he knew how to live in his own out in the forest and that he was ten years old which was pretty young to be living on his own out in the forest. At first when Moon was scared and lonely without his dad he was aggressive with the other characters. On page 27 Moon really showed his anger toward Mr.Abroscotto

“They were not badly off whilst Morel was in the hospital. There were fourteen shillings a week from the pit, then shillings from the sick club, and five shillings from the Disability Fund.” (pg.87)

November 21 ,2015 I Heard the worst thing, earlier that day I was on face book I scrolled pass a picture that said the world was going to end at 3am in the morning I didn’t know what to expect I panicked, I was nervous I didn’t know what I should do , I didn’t know how to bring it up to an adult, I knew that if I brought it up to my mom she would’ve thought I was silly. I went the whole day reminiscing wondering if I’m going to die or is this just a rumor. All that day I did research about a red moon, I didn’t really get the answers I was looking for I did research on when the world was going to end but It didn’t say, all it said was “No one will ever know” The responses I got from the internet kind of made me realize maybe this is just a rumor although face book was saying different.

Passage: “It was the meanest moment of eternity. A minute before she was just a scared human being fighting for its life. Now she was her sacrificing self with Tea Cake's head in her lap. She had wanted him to live so much and he was dead. No hour is ever eternity, but it has its right to weep. Janie held his head tightly to her breast and wept and thanked him wordlessly for giving her the chance for loving service. She had to hug him tight for soon he would be gone, and she had to tell him for the last time. Then the grief of outer darkness descended”(Hurston 184).

When people visit museums and examine the art of painters, they are able to understand that there is a story or theme behind the painting. Humans have the ability to know the symbolism behind the strokes of paint. They can comprehend the emotional turmoil of Van Gogh while he was painting, or see Salvador Dali’s imagination through his work. Music has the same ability to establish a story or theme. There are countless albums that achieve this. One of which is The Dark Side Of The Moon. Pink Floyds album criticizes the people who place values on worldly objects such as money, wars, and time, as well as trying to show listeners that mental illnesses should be taken seriously and not just cut out parts of their brain immediately.

“I know what will make you feel better. Let’s play the happy game,” called the sound of Freddy’s voice.

Before me loomed the old observatory which would be our home for the next year. Its walls were an expanse of red brick stacked on red brick, contrasting the two white front doors and the white domed tower. It sat atop Henrick Cliff with large fields sloping down from the front of the house. The tower could be seen rising from the back of the house, with the cliffs edge and sea beyond that. The observatory looked like a forgotten castle, waiting for the next rulers to occupy it.

Ela ran in front of the family and planted her sturdy body like a mountain between the hunters and the babies standing in a position of charge. With her ears backward, her long trunk swinging from side to side she aggressively trumpeted. Her small amber eyes filled with undaunted resolution. But the hunters weren't afraid of Ela, they rose their rifles ready to shoot her!

1. A wire service is a shared news story, which smaller papers buy. Since they do not have enough money for their own reporters everywhere, they buy smaller versions of the story. This is going to make an effect in the story because now the whole incident is everywhere, even the small towns that have to pay for wire service. The news account of the story changes when it hits the wire because now there is only a small part of the story and people make wrong assumptions.

In the year 1908, what is today the sprawling suburb of Robinson Township was nothing more than a farming community. Moon Run, a community in the township, was a prosperous mining community that was built by the Pittsburgh Coal Company. Today, nothing except the Interstate 79 exit sign, Moon Run Road, and Moon Run Presbyterian Church acknowledges the name of this small community by the highway interchange. The workers in these mines were Catholic and Presbyterian, and both denominations needed a house of worship.  The Roman Catholic workers were about to establish a parish that has become an icon of Robinson Township for almost one hundred and ten years.

“Where what breathes, breathes / and what drinks, drinks,” the persona says (3,5). Natures relationships depicted in the first stanza are beautiful. At first, something as simple as the “islands” may seem unimportant (1). Once analyzed, its purposed is defined by providing a warm home for life to sustain. Without the “restless wind” and “incoming tide,” the animals could not sustain (4,6). Everything in the universe is interconnected.

On September 27th 2015, a Blood Moon occurred. My mom said the last Blood Moon occurred in the year 1982 when she was in 2nd grade. The moon was full and had a red tint. When the moon reached its perigee or the point when it reached closest to earth, the moon was fourteen percent larger than a normal full moon. Since the moon was behind the earth and in the umbra, the sun gave the moon a rusty color. After that, the moon continued on to the penumbra and concluded the lunar eclipse.

These images and references serve as the first indication that there are forces beyond the ken of mortal humans.
