Why Do Leaves Change Color?

~The reason why leaves change colors in the fall is because there is a chemical process that takes place as the trees start developing throughout the time. The Chemical is like food. when you eat takis, then your tongue is red and so your stomach turn red even more. Like the leaves as the chemicals in the trees start to develop more the leaves start to turn dark and once the chemicals stop, the color of the leaves turn lighter. The numerous cells containing chlorophyll turns the leaves green because the leaves are absorbing the chemicals. And the thing that makes the reddish,orange, yellow color is surprisingly the sunlight's energy! Like the green leaves the red leaves absorb the sunlight's energy and makes it a sunset color. And a fun fact

Through her journey she comes across some physical challenges. At the beginning of her walk through the woods her dress gets caught in a thorn bush, which is the first physical obstacle to be faced. She tries her best to free her dress without ripping it, but it seems that every time she frees herself, she gets tangled more. She talks to the thorn bush and says, “ Thorns, you doing your appointed work. Never want to let folks pass—no, sir. Old eyes thought you was a pretty little green bush.” As she trembles still trying to free herself, the bush accepted her mistake, and gets loose from the thorns. She continues on her journey, she notices that the day is coming quicker to an end.

During a warm, sunny morning at a house surrounded by a big field of flowers, Oyasumi has to babysit two kids, Prince Alfred and Nature Alfred. Oyasumi made a cup of coffee for herself as she waited for the kids to arrive. They finally arrived at Oyasumi’s house and ran to the door, excited and happy. Oyasumi didn’t want them in her house with the thoughts of something possibly breaking, so she told them to play outside. Nature Alfred rolled around in the flowers, purring with happiness to finally see lots of plant life, while Prince Alfred became bored. After a few minutes, Nature Alfred also got bored. Prince Alfred felt like roleplaying as his character, a prince, but he also didn’t want Oyasumi to be the “beautiful” princess in his roleplay.

Typically, as nature starts the transformation process from summer to fall, the green leaves on the trees begin to change into colors of reds, golds, browns, and oranges. Eventually, the leaves fall off the trees onto the ground. Three factors contribute to the change in leaf color according to USDA’s Northeastern Area Forest Service website, which include leaf pigments, length of night, and weather. The increasing length of night and other ecological influences such as the temperature, rainfall, and food supply trigger the biochemical process of the leaves (na.fs.fed.us). Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of the leaves. A chloroplast is a type of plant cell organelle known as a plastid. Plastids support the storing of the needed ingredients for energy production. A chloroplast contains a green pigment called chlorophyll which is the agent that gives leaves their green color. Chlorophyll is important to the photosynthesis process as it is the chemical reaction that facilitates plants to use sunlight to produce sugars for their food (biology.about.com). During the emergent season, chlorophyll is repetitively produced and broken down, which causes the leaves to appear green in color. As the nights grow longer, the production of chlorophyll diminishes and eventually ceases production. Depending on the type of plant, as the chlorophyll becomes dormant, the color of the leaves begins to change to reds, browns, yellows, and oranges (na.fs.fed.us).

Ceres set into a slight panic gathered herself and set out to find Petunia. Ceres walked around to the seaside only to be met with nothing, causing her to become more frantic; thoughts racing through her head, the last place she could think to look is the forest. Ceres quickly ran towards the forest just a few ways down. She called out to her daughter, “Petunia! Petunia are you out there?!” trampling through bushes and running over shrubs, but then beautiful flowers started to come around. Ceres ceased her running which turned to cautious pacing, her daughter had to be around here somewhere, Petunia always loved beautiful flowers. A few more steps in front of her was her daughter, taking the hand of a mysterious man in a chariot, the man was gloomy yet handsome. Ceres yelled out for her to stop, “Petunia don’t!” but it was too late, the man along with Ceres’ daughter rode off in the distance at an incredible speed. All Ceres could do was shout in despair as her daughter was taken away.

She retraces the mountain of her ancestry every single day quietly. In the wind she can smell the scent of her ancestors made from crushed pale blue leaves of the mountain. The smell is coming from up the mountain side from which her ancestors descended from, where the mountain lion laid down and ate their deer. It is better to be where she once came from, where her ancestors came from, up on that mountain watching nature. The elderly that remember it once are all gone, the old songs of ancestors are forgotten, and the story where it all began died with its memory. The memory of the culture dances in the snow frost moonlight, swam in the freezing mountain water, went through the

Granpa takes Little Tree to the mountaintop at dawn, to watch the mountain “coming alive”. As Little Tree watches and feels the mountain awakening, he realizes that he and Granpa have “an understanding that most folks don’t know” (Carter 8). Granpa said, “Folks who laugh and say that all is known about Nature, and that Nature don’t have a soul spirit, have never been in a mountain spring storm. When She’s birthing spring, She gets right down to it, tearing at the mountains like a birthing woman clawing at the bed quilts” (Carter 102). Little Tree is taught to sense his connection with Mother Earth, so he will live in harmony with the land, animals, and other people in the world. Little Tree learns that everything in nature has a

When a stranger showed up on my island after swimming in the ocean, I kindly took him in. No one ever visits my wondrous island, and no one ever leaves my island. He told me of how his men killed Helios’ forbidden cattle and Zeus destroyed his ship as a punishment for this forbidden act. He told me that he had been swimming for days, his ship destroyed and all his loyal men killed. I began to care for him as a mother cares for their child, bathing them in a warm tub of water, feeding them warm soup made in the kitchen and putting them to sleep in a warm, comforting bed, as soft as a pillow that swallows them when they sleep. I gave him everything he

Suddenly, something caught her eye for the third time that day. Thinking it was the Enforcer she jumped up, but her fear turned to curiosity when she saw it clearly. The color was unlike anything she had seen before, it had a yellow tinge like the lights, but instead of cold she something fresh and new. She gasped in realization. It was a plant. No, not only was it a plant, but it was a type of life. She walked towards it as if in a dream. She reached out to touch it and found it cool and rejuvenating. She couldn't restrain the smile the passed her lips. They were saved, not only were they saved, but the world would be improved. The fables had been real. For the first time in her life she felt a new sensation a sensation that made her feel like anything was possible. She felt

The great and beautiful tree was to the chief’s wife what the apple was to Eve, a great temptation. When the ancient Chief uprooted the tree, and created the hole it was only fitting that his wife fell in, to start events that changed their lives and the world forever. At the beginning of the story or myth the focus was only saving

One day, as Ceres was caring for a once deserted field, her daughter wished to go around to a majestic stream where she used to sit a make wreathes. “Don’t forget to stay close to the water and make sure you check with the nymphs. That is how I know you are safe,” Ceres said. “Yes mother whatever you wish,” responded Proserpina. Just like any daughter would she did the opposite of what she was told to do. She strayed from the river and the nymphs guarding her and walked into a forest and found a clearing. In the middle of this clearing was a single dark red flower, the most saturated color Proserpina had ever seen. Being the goddess of

He walked through the forest every day, never paying attention to the small flower, his thoughts consumed him, what career shall I lead, will my voice be heard, shall I ever find a wife?

Ceres, the Goddess of Harvest, had a beautiful young daughter named Proserpina. While Ceres was to be tending to her crops, Proserpina asked her mother if she could go to visit the sea and it’s nymphs. Ceres agreed to let her daughter go to the sea, but sent her off with a warning. “The sea nymphs are nice creatures my darling, but you must listen to them… and do not go into the forest, it’s a dangerous place.” Without even thinking, Proserpina agreed with her mom, “of course I will stay away, love you mom!” But she dis not stay away, she wandered into the forest after visiting the nymphs and came upon a beautiful plant. This plant seemed to will Proserpina closer, once she got close she pulled one of the plants flowers. With this the ground

I gazed up at the mountain now drenched in light red and squinted, trying to keep my eyes open, as the bright sharp light burnt into my eyes. Struggling to keep my eyes open, I finally closed them unable to the pain any longer; I wiped my watery eyes and thought where Samneric’s fire was? There was a rumble inside me, and I looked hopefully at the jungle wondering if I could find Samneric’s fire as well as something to eat. In the morning light the jungle seemed like an old and tattered rug chewed to bits by moths, yet despite this the jungle and the whole island was beautiful shining in the sun’s warmth. I kept on walking as the jungle beckoned me calling me with its beauty. As I passed between the trees, the canopy overhead plunged me into velvet darkness. The only source of light was from the small gaps in the shell of overlapping leaves, where the sun glistened through. Moss and lichen covered the ground in abundance, thriving in this humid atmosphere, and feeding on the eerie green light that managed to penetrate through the ceiling of emerald leaves. The strange green shade and the various knotted pillars made it impossible to see for great distances or to walk about freely.
