Extraterrestrial skies

How did the Polynesians find their way to Hawaii, over two thousand miles from any other land? Was it over population at home, or political turmoil? Whatever reason for leaving these people used amazing knowledge and skill of the ocean and of the sky to navigate them to this new land. They faced the unknown and braved into the wide-open ocean for long periods of time. The real focus in this paper is on the navigation techniques that they used in these voyages throughout the Pacific. It's

With the setting of the sun In F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, The Great Gatsby, there is a constant feeling of movement and the desire to get away. Nick, Gatsby, Wilson, Tom and Daisy all move, or have the intention of moving. Not only does this movement seem to foreshadow events in the book, but it also seems to lead to the conclusion that society as a whole in the 1920's was rather unstable and was undergoing constant change. Not all the characters move in the same way, and this shows how

Phoebus was the sun god and Phaeton was his son. Phaeton wanted to drive his father’s magnificent sun carriage across the sky. Phoebus forbade this because he deemed it too dangerous, but his unruly son ignored and did it anyway. Phaeton loses control of “the fiery footed steeds” and crashed tragically killing himself and scorching the earth. This foreshadows the lover’s death

categories. An example of assimilation would be a child being outside during the day and seeing the bright circle of light coming from the sky and being told by their parent that it is the sun. One night the child is outside and sees the bright circle of light coming from the sky and says it is the sun. The child associates any bright circle of light coming from the sky the sun. The child has not yet distinguished between the sun and the moon. As this period shifts over to the next stage

sure no one saw. After shaking his legs to try and get the water out of his shoes he headed up the stairs to Andy’s house. Andy Her hair was long and sandy brown and smelled of cherry blossoms with eyes like green olives that sparkled in the morning sky. She had skin as golden as the top of freshly baked biscuits. Being tall only enhanced her beauty. When she smiled you could not help but feel her joy. And her laugh, how could you forget her laugh? Andy came into this world with music in her mind and

have been, but still waiting for his life to become of what he had been eagerly awaiting for the past five years. But as the sun began to set, Daisy did not come back. As the yellow and orange glow of the setting sun began to become prominent in the sky, it made the green light invisible to the eyes of one who is seeking it. Gatsby’s eyes continued to stare passionately with great sorrow across the sound at the currently invisible green light. His dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly

Ray Bradbury’s theme in Fahrenheit 451 is that a hero is one who makes a change for the better in society. In my rewritten version, my theme is that one who fails to change society is never a hero. Before my essay begins, Montag is running from the police/government. His occupation as a fireman is to incinerate books and he fails to do so by saving a couple of books before anyone sees them. As he reads the books, he learns about the tragic endings which used to be real. He wonders why the government

of the boats in the distance is a large boat that gives the illusion of being three-dimensional. The form gives this illusion because of the reflection in the sea. If you look in the lower-right, you can see the light from the sun illuminating the sky. This light is hidden behind a large mountain that also has a three-dimensional form. There is also lots of texture in the painting. Some texture is seen in the mountains and ground giving a rough look, and some is seen in the sea in the form of ripples

In the short story, The Rocket Man, an adaptation of, The Illustrated Man, the author Ray Bradbury describes the life of an astronaut who is torn between living an ordinary life with his family and traveling through space on a rocketship. The story, written in 1951, is based around how the father’s space travel affects his son, Doug, and the father’s relationship with his wife. The Rocket Man, was written during the modern period of literature, a time when science fiction and new technology was up

sun made the ocean glitter as if someone poured a bucket of sparkles into the water. You could hear the distant calls of seagulls every now and then. Obsidian colored cliffs were so high that they looked as if they were going to touch the pale blue sky. I felt something brush up against my ankles as a small tide came in. I looked down to see what the ocean brought to me. It was a green glass bottle and inside was some paper rolled up neatly. “I wonder what it could be,” I wondered. I was hesitant
