The Winter Spring Snow Thaw Essay

I have read the book The Coldest Winter Ever, by Sistah Souljah and I find the plot of the book intriguing and life like because I actually do feel like I am the main character in this book. I relate to the main character Winter because we are the same age and we have experienced similar things. In one part of the book, Winter Santiaga had to explain to us how being in a family with drug dealers is hard to deal with. She explains to us how her father, Ricky Santiaga spoiled her, her mom and her little sisters. I can relate to that part because that’s how my family was. Some of the things that were mentioned in this book were adult like and had an adult tone and that had caught my eye. All of the things she had to go through in this book made me realize that life isn’t what is seems. She had to go through with losing her mother and father to the system. She had lost her sisters to foster care and then she had to go to foster care. This book can actually speak to young girls and this is why I love Sister Souljah’s books.

David Sedaris’ essay, “Let It Snow” is a reflection of Sedaris’ past. A single day from his childhood in North Carolina where Sedaris and his siblings were home due to school being closed for few days because of bad weather. The story reflects solely on the relationship that Sedaris’ mother had with him and his sisters, and how it was affected by her drinking problem. Although the story revolved around the children the mother was the main character.

Once upon a dark and snowy Friday night, a mysterious man named Rabbi Hirsch came out of the dark eeriness of his desolate and abandoned synagogue and asked a boy named Michael Devlin if he could turn on the lights for him. Michael in the book Snow in August by Pete Hamill, at first hesitated, but then he willfully did the task. This started a wonderful friendship between the two Brooklyn residents that brought out the in best each other despite their different backgrounds. However, with the relationship came some physical and emotional turmoil as a result of the Rabbi being Jewish and most of Brooklyn being anti-semitic, meaning that they are hostile towards Jews. This was evident when Frankie McCarthy and his band of best friends named

To kick off National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Pediatric Dentistry of Ft. Myers will host unique snow-themed fundraising event on Saturday, October 1

The greenhouse effect is how the Earth naturally warms up. During the greenhouse effect, the sun radiates it heat into our atmosphere. From there, most of the heat gets trapped in the Earth’s surface, which is later released back into our atmosphere. At the lower atmosphere, water vapor and carbon dioxide are the gases that absorb most

The greenhouse effect, warming that occurs whenever the atmosphere traps heat from Earth towards space, is the main cause of global warming (NASA, 2016). Gases such as water vapor, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, and methane do not respond chemically to drastic changes in temperature, force climate change. One of the reasons for this is because of the deforestation of land for agriculture or industrial needs has increased concentration of green house gases.

The greenhouse effect is when the heat from a planet's air warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it normally would be without its air. What causes the greenhouse effect is that energy comes from the sun and reflects off of the earth’s surface and then goes back to the atmosphere as a bunch of heat. It affects the Earth by making the atmosphere warm.

The greenhouse effect is a process in which the thermal radiation emitted by the planetary surface is absorbed by the atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHG) and is in all the directions. Since part of this is returned to the surface and lower atmosphere, the results at a level of the surface of the media regarding what is in the absence of GHGs.

Global Warming is the idea that greenhouse effects are warming the earth slowly over time. The greenhouse effect, according to Paul G. Hewitt, is the “warming caused by short-wavelength radiant energy from the Sun that easily enters the atmosphere and is absorbed by earth. This energy is then reradiated at longer wavelengths that cannot easily escape Earth’s atmosphere”. The greenhouse effect is not a bad thing because it allows the earth to say warm and not drop to negative temperatures but the pollution that humans have released into the air and get stuck in the atmosphere is the negative effect which why we call them greenhouse gases. Some greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide,

The greenhouse effect put simply is gases in the atmosphere trapping heat causing the average temperature on the earth to slowly increase over the year. The reason why it is such a hot topic is because this not only effects

Global warming is one of the biggest environmental issues not just for the ocean but also for the entire Earth. The global warming is caused by greenhouse gases such as the carbon dioxide and methane, which create an invisible cover around the Earth. The cover or the atmosphere with the green house gases lets in the sunlight but do not let the reflected light back into the outer space. This is known as the greenhouse effect.

The primary cause of climate change is the human expansion of the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is a natural occurrence, which NASA defines as “the warming that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from space” (NASA). During the greenhouse effect, heat from the sun passes through the atmosphere, which is made up of various gases. When the heat from the sun reaches the surface, some of it radiates away from Earth, back into space. However, some of the gases in the atmosphere, known as greenhouse gases, absorb this heat, preventing it from escaping (World Meteorological Organization). The greenhouse effect keeps the Earth at a habitable temperature. The World Meteorological Organization, or WMO, states that the greenhouse effect and

Humans are polluting our atmosphere causing the Greenhouse Effect.  What’s the Greenhouse Effect?  “The Greenhouse Effect can be visualized as follows: imagine that Earth has been encircled by a giant glass sphere.  The heat of the sun penetrates through the glass.  Some of the heat is absorbed by the Earth, and some is radiated back towards space.  The radiated heat reaches the glass sphere and is prevented from dispersing any further”(Global Warming The Facts).  This makes the heat bounce back towards the Earth, which heats it up tremendously.

land and as it rises it hits the o-zone layer and bounces back into the earth

Greenhouse gases are compounds in the atmosphere that can trap and hold extra heat, which increases the temperature in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases is the cause of the greenhouse effect that leads up to global warming. The greenhouse effect is the trapping of the sun’s warmth in the lower atmosphere that is due to the visible radiation from the sun. The solar radiation reaches the Earth’s atmosphere, then the rest of the sun's energy is absorbed by the oceans and lands which result in the heating of the Earth. After that the heat from the Earth goes towards space, some of the heat is trapped in the atmosphere by greenhouses gases which make the Earth warm enough to tolerate living life. The burning of fossil fuels and land clearing start to increase the number of greenhouse gases which travels into the atmosphere. The result of trapping extra heat cause the Earth’s temperature to rise. Scientist's has proven that the constant increase of heat in the atmosphere is caused by humans. The reason humans are proven guilty for the increase of global warming is because of the amount of carbon that is put into the atmosphere. Carbon is released from burning coal, oil, and gas or cutting down and burning forests. Carbon (CO2) is known as the main source of heat-trapping gas which is mainly responsible for the increase of warming over the years. The removal of trees is another cause of global
