The Color And Brightness Of The Sky

Have you ever been motivated to take on a mission? Even if it’s in a sport like when you are motivated to score a goal to win the game. Have you ever asked yourself what motivates us to take on a Mission? If so, what are your ideas? What motivates people to undertake a mission is family, survival, money, achievement, and many other reasons that motivate people to undertake missions. Some stories that back up this claim are “The Other Side Of The Sky” by Farah Ahmedi, “Barrio Boy” by Ernesto Galarza, and “New Directions” by Maya Angelou. These stories are examples of somebody who was motivated to undertake a mission.

In The Other Side of the Sky, Farah, the protagonist and narrator, tells about her life living in Kabul, Afghanistan, escaping to Pakistan as a refugee, and eventually coming to America. The major threat to her and her family’s survival during their time in Afghanistan was the way it was governed. For most of Farah’s early life, Afghanistan was occupied by the Soviet Union. The mujahideen were formed in order to resist them, but they eventually began fighting against themselves, sometimes firing rockets into town facilities. Early on, this wasn’t much of a problem, as Farah’s family lived one of the quieter parts of town, but after Farah came back from Germany after her leg amputation following a mine incident, the rocket incidents became

However, Homer was struggling for a great deal in his pursuit of rocketry, he was even struggling for his life. Born in a coal mining town, son of a foreman, Homer seemed destined to work the mine when he grew up. But in October Sky, Homer has to overcome what the mine represents: isolation and darkness.

When a beam of sunlight passes through a specially shaped glass object called a prism, the rays of different wavelengths are bent at different angles. The bending breaks up the sunlight into a beautiful band of colors. This band contains all the colors of the rainbow and is called the visible spectrum. At one end of the spectrum, the light appears as violet. It consists of the shortest wavelengths of light that we can see. Farther along the spectrum, the light has increasingly longer wavelengths. It appears as blue, green, yellow, orange, and red, each shading into its neighboring colors in the spectrum. The longest wavelengths of light that we can see appear deep red in color. Some descriptions of the spectrum also mention the color indigo, which is closely related to blue, between violet and blue.

The horrible accounts of the holocaust are vividly captured by Elie Wiesel in Night, an award winning work by a Holocaust survivor. It describes his time in the Holocaust and helps the reader fully understand the pain he went through. In the text, Elie continuously mentions how he is losing his faith to god. It is evident that he has nearly, if not completely lost his faith during the events of the holocaust. In the memoir, Night, Elie Wiesel’s faith changes because of the absence of God, the dehumanization of the prisoners, and all of the death that surrounds him.

In Jennifer Donnelly’s A Northern Light hope is portrayed as the guiding light in Mattie Gokey’s life. Hope takes Mattie on a roller coaster of emotions good and bad. Donnelly interpreted this by showing conflict, figurative language, and mood. Even though tragedy hit Gokey household Mattie persevered and held onto the hope of going to New York City to attend Barnard college.

Do you want your child to have a higher risk of skin cancer or other terrible diseases? Do you want your child to never be able to play outside with all their friends? Nobody wants their child to have an unhealthy life or be sad because they have no friends to play with. Everyone wants to hope for their child to have a happy and healthy life. Humans not thinking about how the world’s climate change is dramatically changing does not make the climate not change. There are many scientist that have proven that climate change is happening and it has been happening for many, many years. Understanding what is happening

The reason why both of these stories seem so hard to comprehend is because for people like me to conflicts with reality, relatable, perception, and fact from fiction. Understanding the customs of the Native Americans are different from mines and in “A Tale of The Sky World" is a great example of that. How the Native American's viewed things like the environment, creatures, and Gods. In the book, the girl got pregnant because she faced the east and the breath of the west wind had entered her person causing conception. Or the father laying his down alongside the great tree and dig it up to cure her illness. This is foreign to me. They had their own philosophies and principles about how the realm was formed. I like the fact that learning about

A rainbow is caused by the reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. . It takes the form of a multicolored arc; Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the side of sky directly opposite the sun. A primary rainbow the arc shows red on the outer part and violet on the inner part.

In Race and Ethnicity Class we read two books. We read The Color of Water and Night. I really liked both books. They are informative on two different races. They are interesting and emotional.

Students enjoy reading books that are relatable, interesting, and easy to understand. A Northern Light, by Jennifer Donnelly, should be removed from the tenth grade Summer reading list because it is confusing, unrelatable to teens and not what most students expect it to be.

Beautiful sunsets were a daily occurrence that I took for granted, until a year ago. I am an Arizona native and every night I would look at the sky and see a breathtaking sunset, that filled the sky with a mixture of oranges, yellows, and reds. When I moved to Florida, last year, I started to notice that the sunsets there were not what I was used to. They were simply normal and not picture worthy. This got me wondering; why are some sunsets prettier than others? I put this question in the back of my head and didn’t think about it again until I participated in the Blue Sky lab. Sunsets are created by light rays scattering across the sky. Arizona’s sunsets are unique because of the clouds, dust particles in the air, and dry climate.

When the Sun's light is refracted on passing through tiny rain droplets falling in the air a Rainbow is formed. Rainbows only need light from the sun or the moon and a large amount of spherical raindrops to form in the atmosphere. The rainbows can be compared to mini prisms. The light is refracted ("bending of light as it passes from one medium to another") and it causes different wavelengths (or colors) of the white light to separate. Whether these wavelengths of light will pass through the raindrop or reflect depends on the angle the light strikes the back of the raindrop. If a wavelength of the light strikes the back of the raindrop at an angle less than 48 degree relative to the normal then the light will pass through the raindrop.

One of Vincent Van Gogh’s most world renowned paintings is his landscape oil painting Starry Night. The painting displays a small town underneath an unusual yet still extremely beautiful night sky. In this night sky, Van Gogh utilizes an array of colors that blend well together in order to enhance the sky as a whole. The town is clearly a small one due to the amount of buildings that are present in the painting itself. In this small town most of the buildings have lights on which symbolize life in a community. Another visual in Starry Night is the mountain like figures that appear in the background of the illustrious painting. Several things contribute to the beauty of Van Gogh’s painting which are the painting’s function, context, style, and design. Van Gogh’s utilization of these elements help bring further emphasis to his work in Starry Night.
