The Purpose of Time Is to Prevent Everything from Happening at Once by X.J. Kennedy

The Thirty Meter Telescope was a project finally certified designed in the year of 2012 with intentions for it to be the world’s largest telescope as well as the largest telescope amongst all the existing telescopes on Mauna Kea, Hilo. This concept for a social action paper was selected because the subject alone caused arguments and controversies between the Board of Land and Natural Resources and the Native Hawaiians

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” Even we live in the moment. It’s also a scene of crossings, bridging past and present. People struggle ahead but often obsess themselves with the past and present.

Eiseley beautifully presents the time by making reader feel themselves as a character. He shows the time keeps on changing which has been reflected through urbanization. He means that with the flow of time everybody gets old and dies by giving an example of the wasp and the old man. Similarly, White also supports the same attitude after he saw the same lake. He realized that time has been passed when he feels transposition to son and his father who is dead now. Then he felt the irony of life. Both believe that the time keeps on moving by leaving memory and the place where we are.

New ideas derived from self-reflection enable us to develop in ways that are spiritually linked to the future. The inexorable passage of adulthood is established by the motif of time, indicating that life is continuously moving forward. The personification of time “guiltless minute hand” suggest that time is not responsible for our future, but we are. Additionally, the dysphemistic personification of “time was killed” foreshadows the cessation of childhood. Eventually, the

The second stanza tells about a “glorious lamp of heaven”, the sun, running a race from sunup to sundown (Herrick 385). In the third stanza it talks about when people are youthful they think they have all the time to accomplish their goals but “times still succeed the former”, which simply means time

The daily train transgressed its quotidian measure, staunched by three or four interruptions where the clock stopped in a state of complete diligence. Moreover, man holds the reins of galloping time in the passive hands of reality, or a literary representative and a deputy of an ancient asylum.

4. What is meant by the phase “looking out in the universe is looking back in time?”

Despite having a dearth of knowledge of time, the majority of people on this planet can ascertain that time appears to move linearly. Well, not according to Billy Pilgrim. Billy is a strange anomaly to the concept of time moving linearly. Billy transports through time, seeing different parts of his life on multiple occasions. This is a fantastic aspect of this novel. It makes the reader think and question all three of those opening questions. At one moment Billy could be stuck in a slaughterhouse in Dresden hearing bombs destroying 130,000 people, and at the next moment he could be prescribing lenses to a child as an optometrist. Another incredible usage of time in this novel is the use of the phrase “so it goes” (Vonnegut 131). The phrase is sprinkled into almost every page of the novel. It only appears when a person dies. Now, any reader could come up with his or her own meaning of this phrase. For example, it could mean ‘oh well’. It could be a matter-of-fact statement meaning the event could not have been reversed. However, I like to think of the phrase as a way of saying ‘life goes on’. Time doesn’t stop to honor that person’s death, it just continues along with life. Birds don’t stop singing after a war to ponder the concept of human mortality; they just continue singing. It adds the concept that time is complex and will never stop. Life and time will continue to move despite, whether it is the deaths of

I think that the poet is trying to tell us to live life to the fullest

The three media present in “Sky” each support a message about missed opportunities. The depiction of the passage of time contributes to the melancholy mood, established by the lyrics and text, that accompanies this theme. Kimbrough demonstrates that not only do people fail to take action but also that with repeated inaction, life passes them by as, full of regrets, they approach an inevitable

This metaphor is emphasizing the idea that if one waits to long to take action then he or she may lose the chance to act on his or her desires. Furthermore, a metaphor that reveals the brevity of life is “Thus, though we cannot make our sun / Stand still, yet we will make it run” (Marvell 45-46). This metaphor describes how time is always moving. It is expressing the idea that one needs to make the most out of the time he or she has because time itself cannot be stopped.

In “Because I could not stop for Death” the woman seems to anticipate everlasting life, and has found it. The woman in the poem has been taken away by death. It almost seems as if the lady is reminiscing through her life as a child, an adult, and then she finds death. The death portion of her life is represented by “We passed the setting sun” (12). Reading through the poems leads one to believe the woman was very comfortable with death and all it had to offer. The woman in the poem is so comfortable in her new state that time trickles by, feeling “…shorter than the Day” (22). The poem, “Because I could not stop for Death” represents a woman that has found peace with her everlasting life. The mysterious experience of death is revealed in both poems.

Furthermore, poetry, and the personification of poetry, conversations with old friends and family, should not need a special occasion, rather it should “ride the bus” with patience for the stops before your own and the understanding of other’s needs before your own (line 13). You can also say the bus can represent the speed at which life passes you by and how easy it is to miss something if you are not paying attention, or even, that these missed moments have a poem to help you along your long journey home. With the use of

“The Hubble, has given us nothing less than an ontological awakening, a forceful reckoning with what is the telescope compels the mind to contemplate space and time on a scale just shy of the infinite.” implied Ross Anderson, an engineer. With this one telescope, created by a normal astronomer, scientists and astronomers are able to see space as never seen before. They are able to make mind boggling observations that contemplate space to an infinite scale. Thousands of discoveries about space have been observed through this lense and without the magnitude of high level instruments compiled into this large instrument most of these observations would never have been discovered. As proposed by Floyd E. Bloom a researcher, on izquotes.com, “As

Time is only running out, and it is one of the most vital and overlooked qualities of life. Albert Camus highlights the theme of time in his 1947 novel, The Plague. Through the use of allegory and point of view, Camus substantiates that when people are not aware of time and its advancing, they are wasting the precious and limited time of their lives. He constantly establishes that the amount of consciousness obtained by a person is the difference between spending time wisely and foolishly.
