The Sun - Original Writing

No matter how vindicating the times, the sun falls at dusk and rises at dawn with decorum. For the sun does it’s duty naturally, rising and falling without direction to do so. As the sun portrays a character of optimism, my heart progresses to share this same quality. I have always seemed to envision an irrepressible vibrance in the world, a lens not many people spectate often. Throughout my life, I have always found a light of hope in every dark and despairing situation, and a heart of compassion for others. Whenever giving up was an option, my inner conscience advised me to keep going, keep rising as the sun does each and every morning without question. For it is persistence, without a doubt, that drives the good and true intentions of others.

The sun in Albert Camus’s The Stranger is an important repeated motif. The state of the sun controls the moods and actions, both good and bad, of Meursault. Metaphorically, The sun sheds light on Meursault’s character as the plot progresses. Most importantly, the sun symbolizes an absurdist philosophy in which everyone is at the mercy of an absurd world.

Ernest Hemmingway’s novel The Sun Also Rises is not considered to be a mystery. However, through his creative storytelling, Hemingway nimbly evokes an aura of uncertainty and mystique surrounding the relationship of Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. Their attraction to each other is palpable, yet without the ability to consummate her sexual desires, and the tragic war wound that rendered him impotent, Brett obstinately pursues a variety of other meaningless relationships. There appears to be a recurring internal conflict with Brett throughout the course of the novel. Incapable of dealing with Jake’s injury, she meanders from relationship to relationship searching for that same unequivocal love she

Do you know what country has more than ⅕ of their citizens in need of food aid, relies on other countries to provide it, but their leader manipulates citizens into thinking he is a god? Can you imagine what it would be like to visit North Korea? In the Shadow of the Sun by Anne Sibley O'brien possesses danger, decisions, devotion, dependence, and discovery. It all started out fine, when Mia, who is an adopted South Korean trying to find the balance between her ancestry and her upbringing, is taking a vacation to North Korea with her father, an aid worker, who provides food to those in need in Korea, and her brother, Simon, who is very disconnected from his family after a recent chain of events. Then all of sudden, Mia discovers a phone, an

Fighting to keep my eyes open and maintain the consciousness I knew I wouldn’t be able to hold onto for long, I let out a lengthy but silent yawn out of sheer resignation. After working out in the fields for hours upon hours earlier this morning, the last morning, and basically every day preceding this one, I felt a hollow ache and a familiar type of exhaustion creeping over my body, getting the better of the shepherd’s stamina I knew was inside me.

Ernest Hemingway’s book, The Sun Also Rises, can be analyzed and understood as a hidden autobiography of his troubling and painful life. Why would Ernest Hemingway disguise himself as Mr. Jake Barnes instead of being open and telling exactly his story and how it happened? Ernest Hemingway was married when he fell in love with another woman who was not emotionally available for anything but occasional pleasure. If Hemingway had written the book as an obvious autobiography, his reputation would be damaged and the book most likely would not be such a hit. The characters that served as friends to Jake were all based on actual friends of Ernest. The similarities in this novel to Hemingway’s life are undeniable once his life story is revealed. The quote from “Hemingway’s Hidden Metafictions” by Ian Crouch, “the book was not merely based on his real-life experiences but was actually a memoir: ‘I made the unfortunate mistake, for a writer, of first having been Mr. Jake Barnes,’” (Crouch, para. 7) is a direct statement

Ernest Hemingway’s first novel The Sun Also Rises is regarded as the quintessential novel of the Lost Generation. Published in 1926, within the decade after the First World War, The Sun Also Rises embodies exactly what the Lost Generation is. The term “Lost Generation” was created by Gertrude Stein and is referred to today as a vast amount of American intellectuals, writers, poets, and artiest, who were born around the beginning of the 20th Century and served in World War One, this generation pursued different lifestyles and rejected the values of American materialism (Bolton 78). The lost generation, including Hemingway, created some of the most renowned American literature to this date. The Sun Also Rises follows Hemingway’s Characters from

The book I read for summer reading this year was I’ll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson. This book was recommended to me last year by a close friend who wouldn’t stop gushing on and on about how amazing this book was. I enjoy reading books in different perspectives so when I found out that this book was written in that style I had to get my hands on it. I started reading this book mid July and finished it by the end of the month.

The play Clybourne Park is a great example of not shying away from racial issues in literature. But it could also be deemed too controversial and overdone by some. Based off the play A Raisin in the Sun, it seeks to show the other side of the community from their perspective. The tensions between Russ’ family and the community are brought to light during the course of the play. His son had committed suicide after returning from Korea and this tragedy left a huge hole of hurt in their family. At first everyone pretends and hides their true feelings, just like the suitcase containing their son’s suicide note had been locked. But as the conversation gets more heated the pretense-bubble bursts and the chaos is revealed. In this midst of this chaos, the issue of race is used as a basis to drive the play forward, not in the sense of resolution but realization. One of the main purposes of this play is to stir up the minds of the audience in a very blatant manner. Some sections might have been overdone, but the overall message was sent across. Is racism still a problem today as it was in the sixties? Ignoring it and hoping it goes away does not solve anything.

What are the sun signs? The sun signs, also known as zodiac signs, or birth signs, or just signs, are twelve constellations that surround the solar system while the planets transit into them, at regular intervals. These twelve signs define what a person’s personality is, and/or how they react when something bad happens, etc. The different planets pass through constellations, astronomers keep up with them because they in a constellation at set times, for example: The moon goes into a constellation every two days, one day the moon is in Libra, two days later it’s in Scorpio. The sun doesn’t do that. The sun transitions to a different constellation once a month, starting with Aries on March twenty-first on the first day of Spring, and stays until

Due to the bands near 20-year dormancy, it’s doubtful that Sun of the Sleepless is a name you’ve heard numerous people murmuring about in the black metal scene. Fronted by Ulf Theodor Schwadorf, the brains behind Empyrium and The Vision Bleak, “To The Elements” is the band’s first full-length album, despite forming in 1998, and is the first piece of proper material Sun of the Sleepless has unleashed since the band’s split EP with a band named Nachtmahr in 2004.

Yearning for the urge to see the sun as it moves around the earth and stops in Orlando, thi would be the first time I get to see the sun shine its light on the dirt diamond and bring life to the blades of grass that lie in the shape of a quarter circle. The sun overcomes the gigantic trees, leaving the human eye to see the tiny drops of water on every perfectly cut dark green blade of grass; not a single blade out of place. The dull yellow along with the tangy orange light behind the soft grey clouds, slowly moving with the spin of the world, illuminate the diamond in such beauty and awe, too good not to capture. The diamond is amazing; the sun reflects the little specks of dirt as if they are glowing. Looking over the woven yellow fence, the clouds partially cover the sun and direct its rays through the gap in the trees; it looks as if the sun is trying to hide behind the trees, but keeps popping out like a little kid playing peek-a-boo. The sun that breaks through lets a white puff of smoke to appear every time my lungs let out air, they breathe in the fresh cold air, bringing new life to the body every time. The crisp air is blended into the smell of the sugary cake that was made the night before at the building less than sixty feet away from where I began my day, and as it sinks into my nose making the morning savory and sweet, I realize the day is going to be a new experience. Although the wonderment of the diamond is breathtaking the view does not last long, for the

     The sun is the largest object in the solar system. It is a middle-sized star and there are many other stars out in the universe just like it. Even though it is only a middle-sized star it is large enough to hold over 1 million Earth’s inside if it were hollow. The temperature on the sun is far too much for any living thing to bear. On the surface it is 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit and the core is a stunning 27,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit. But don’t worry we are over 90,000 million miles away, the sun could never reach us, at least not yet. The sun is a still a middle aged star and later in its life it will become a Red Giant. In this stage it will get bigger, and closer to us causing a temperature increase and most likely the
