In the story, “What the Moon Saw” the main character, Clara, has a change of feelings. Her feelings changed along with her grandparents feelings in a few different ways. One way that Clara’s feelings changed was when she found out how the weather really was. Another way was when Abuelo kept comparing her to her mother and her grandmother. First of all, in the story it says, “Why hadn’t Dad warned me about the phone situation? Or about the rainy season? Maybe he thought I would have used them as excuses not to come. I would have.” This excerpt shows how her feelings changed from thinking the weather was nice to finding out it was a rainy season. She also found out that the only phone in the village has been out of service for three months.
The movie, Under the Same Moon (La Misma Luna), was a story about a hispanic mother named Rosario and her son named Carlitos. Rosario and Carlitos have been separated since he was five years old. Rosario left Mexico four years ago to look for a better life in Los Angeles. Rosario made the difficult decision to leave her son with her mother while she illegally immigrated to the United States to work, sent money to her mother for Carlitos, and called her son every Sunday at 10:00 A.M. on the payphone every week. Life as an illegal immigrant was hard. Money was very difficult to come by with Rosario's background, so she had to work two different jobs just so that she could put a little bit money aside. She sent money back home to keep her son fed, clothed and educated. At the workplace, she was always discriminated and treated as
Perkins makes frequent use of contrast to explore ideas in One Night The Moon. Discuss.
The narrator comes into the kitchen to see a huge mess and her mom in the middle of it. As she is walking in a piece of the debris almost hits her in the head. “I ducked as a piece of tile flew at me”. This already raises the tension in the story because the narrator has already almost been injured by a flying piece of tile. From the mothers point of view nothing is wrong and waves it off as it is was nothing which angers the narrator even more. “ I pushed past her to get the broom, but she grabbed me by the elbow. A feeling of nervous ness swelled inside me.” If that is not enough the narrators mother decides its the perfect time to tell her that in the next few days she will be leaving her mother and going to New Mexico for 3 months. “ But what am I supposed to do? That’s three whole months” The daughter is steamed because she is going to have to move again to a new place were she has not friends, but from the mothers point of view she is sending her child away so she can be safe while she going off to work in a unfamiliar place. The mother cannot see the situation from her daughters perspective that is why the passage progresses the way it does. It eventually leads to them fighting and the daughter locking herself in her room. If only the mother could have seen the daughters perspective then maybe she would have taken a different approach leading to a different more positive

Her heartbroken newly single mother (point to Mother’s picture) made a new friend named Lydia (point to Lydia) who’s slowly changing Havens’ s mom. Haven’s mom is newly single because the man of her dreams, Mac McPhail (point to dad) had found the woman of his dreams, Lorna (point to Lorna), also known as the “weather pet” to Haven and her mother.

(point to the news set) She also has an older sister who’s named (point to Ashley’s picture) Ashley who is shorter, curvalicious, and gets a lot of boy attention. Haven had gotten sick and tired of all of Ashley’s boyfriends. Haven feels very ugly and gigantic next to her sister (point to the picture of the to girls) Ashley had finally settled down with Lewis Warsher (points to Lewis), her fiance, who is boring compared to her sister’s audacious personality.

When most people hear of New York, they mostly think of the “Big Apple” otherwise known as New York City, but not many think of Buffalo, New York. Moon Over Buffalo was just recently performed in the Gloria Logan Auditorium under the direction of Paul Bird. Moon Over Buffalo is a delightful play taking place the green room of a theater in Buffalo, about Charlotte and George Hay, their daughter Rosalind, her fiance, Howard, ex-fiance, Paul, George’s supporting actress and one-night-stand, Eileen, Rosalind’s nearly deaf grandmother Ethel, and Richard, the theatre company’s lovesick lawyer who is courting Charlotte. The script follows the cast through many twists and turns in show business, that lead up to frantic chaos, but ultimately results in a happy ending that is funny, and enjoyable. I believe that this was a worthwhile production to put on as well as go to see.
As a result of these roles, the daughter’s and mother’s perspectives differ greatly, thus adding tension between the characters. Since the family moves a lot, the teenage daughter has her own concerns. Such as, making friends, and trying not to be the “new kid” in school all the time. On the other hand, the single mother, has other concerns. These include trying her best to support her daughter, and going to Costa Rica to complete her research so she can graduate; and this is all “for the better,” for her and her daughter. In an intense argument about moving to Costa Rica, the mother states, “...this a wonderful opportunity for you,” the daughter responds, “Opportunity? For me? Or for you?” This depicts the rising tension between the mother and daughter. It is obvious that in this scenario, the daughter felt like she was powerless, and that her other always gets to decide everything. This causes the daughter to become contrary and withdrawn. At one point in the story, the narrator goes into her room, and ignores her mother who is trying to talk to her from the other side of the door. In the text, her mother states, ‘She paused for a moment then continued. ”Would you please talk to me?”’ This emphasizes the conflict between the two, since the tension at this point reached it’s peak. Since the daughter isn’t replying to anything her mother says, this really implies the emotional stress both the mother and daughter went through. In general, it’s hard to constantly switching schools and trying to make new friends, but in this case, it becomes evident that the narrator is at the end of her line. She can’t take it anymore, all the moving, and “fitting in.” This establishes a strong sense of emotional struggle from the narrator’s perspective. By doing so, the author makes it blatantly obvious that the

I went to the Art Walk event in Newberg and stopped by the Art Elements Gallery. I wanted to find a work that calls to me. At first I didn’t find much. The art was nice, but I didn’t get any special feelings on them. Finally, I spotted an oil painting on a wrapped canvas. It was called Full Moon. The work was created by Oregon citizen, Marilyn Higginson. It’s still hard to express what I felt when I saw this painting, but I felt a sense of peace when I saw the tranquil setting of the painting. My aesthetic scanning will give a description of the work, analyze the craftsmanship, the art elements, the art principles, and give my interpretation on the work.
That's right the series that I'm going to be talking about today is The Lunar Chronicles. I can see many people having many different couples that they love within this series. I currently have only read 291 pages of Winter, so I haven't got the chance to fully know that books couple. My favorite couple is one I have watched grow for a long time. It is a couple I have gotten attached to throughout this series. If you haven't guessed yet my favorite couple is Cinder and Kai.
Nick Wroblewski has become well known among the printmaking industry throughout the years. His multicolor woodcut prints are fascinating and inspiring. His recent work “Ear to the Moon” is the newest addition to his gallery, which Nick describes his work as a “bold and stylistic imagery”. This print can be created in multiple ways, but Nick used the process called two-block reduction or suicide print. This technique is a combination of two carved woodblocks to print specific areas of imagery. The blocks are carved away throughout the process and used to print additional colors. The carving into the image becomes more bright and apparent and between each color, let the prints dry before adding another color. The block is eventually reduced to
There are many people who believed that we did land on the moon, but then there are many others who do not believe we landed on the moon. There are many points that they try to prove to say that we did not land on the moon such as the flag movement, no stars, and that the shadows were messed up. There are many ways to prove them wrong with the proof they have that we landed on the moon.
The Apollo missions began because of political reasons not scientific reasons. There was a total of 12 astronauts that explored the moon. There were six different landing sites and they were located in the central part of the moon. This means there is much more of the moon to explore. They spent twelve and a half cumulative days on the surface of the moon, 3.4 were spent outside. Because of the different Apollo missions there we much has been discovered. Because of the studies, of the craters they were able to determine the age of the moon. They were able to learn about core and crust formation. The moon has many similarities to the earth. Through seismology studies they discovered that the moon has moonquakes like the earth has earthquakes
