Did you know 1 in 5 Canadians will experience some form of mental illness. Some will experience it to a greater degree than others. Anise, the main character of the book Gravity Journal by Gail Sidonie Sobat, is one of many one in five. She has anorexia and depression and is hospitalized for the second time because of it. She spends her hospital stays in ward 4-psych-o, a very ironically named ward.
When the Youngers’ money is stolen, Walter decides to let their new house be bought by Linder. Mama is disappointed in Walter. She tells him that they did not come all this way for them to be put down by the white community. Walter realizes what he is doing and makes a stand.
I think the characters that try to search a better way of life in the Raisin in the Sun are Walter Lee Younger and Lena Younger (Mama). I think they do this to help their family prosper. They also want their family to gain money and let their kids/ grandkids have whatever they want and not let them live in poor conditions. They wanted to live up to their families expectation. When they first really wanted to search a better way of life was when the insurance money of Papa.
The interpretation gained from reading “A Raisin in the Sun” came accross with a few points, Ruth and Walter fight a great deal within the story. Ruth and Walter’s living environment is both positive and negative. It would be interesting to find out what's makes Walter tick, as well as why Ruth feels like she needs to put up barriers. Also explore how Walter and Ruth slowly come back together as a couple to find peace in their lives which directly affects the baby living or dying. The understanding received was Walter wants to be better within his socioeconomic status.
Historical Analysis: A Raisin in the Sun is a play about the author’s life. The segregation life and the event of moving into a white neighborhood are events from the life of Lorraine Hansberry, the author. The events that occurred in the play along with real life events relate to the Civil Rights Movement and feminist topics. Lorraine Hansberry moved into an all white neighborhood just like the Younger family moved into Clybourne Park. The author did not modify the major events of her own life but rather added a series of complications and details to fit the play such as the event of Walter losing the investment money.
It comes to no surprise that teenagers may have a rough and challenging relationship at times with their parents.

Eleanor Schneider 1-17-22 Period 2 Mr. Parsloe Research Paper The Shining Life of The Sun God Ra You better be wearing sunglasses because we are going to jump into the bright life of the Sun God Ra of ancient Egypt. Ra was arguably the most important god he was the patron of the sun, heaven, kingship, power, and light. He governed the actions of the sun and he was thought to be the sun itself, as well as the day. Ra represented the universal power of the sun, and the people worshiped him as the most important god of all time.
The motion of all the material in the Universe is affected by gravity. Gravity helps the galaxies rotate and the planets in the solar systems orbit. 4. How do galaxies vary? Galaxies vary based on size, composition, and structure, however most all of them are arranged in clusters.
The way it is thought to have worked is that the gravity in the early solar system would have bound particles together at the same time as the earth was forming. This explains why we see such a similar collection of materials in both the moon and the earth, this theory also backs the positioning of the moon itself in our solar system. All though the moon consists of many of the same components as the earth does (after looking into this I discovered some contrasting ideas about the materials both the earth and moon are made up of, one website called windows2universe stated. ‘The co-formation theory explains why the moon appears in the location it does but it does not explain the evidence that the Earth and Moon do not appear to be made of the same material.’ but the majority stated the opposite these websites included BBC.com, Space.com and NASA.gov ) this theory does not explain why the earth is so much more dense.
What intrigued me the most in Gravity by Anna Leventhal is Camille’s reaction to pregnancy at such a young age; instead of seeing teenage pregnancy as something to be ashamed of, Camille see’s it as something to be proud of. As Levanthal describes it, Camille was “filled with a great sense of pride in her body.” (Leventhal, p.6) while peeing on the pregnancy test stick. The reason I found this passage so interesting is that unlike most of the books I have read, the character having a pregnancy crisis feels empowered and proud compared to feeling pitiful. Not only does Camille then describe herself as an ancient fertility goddess (Leventhal, p.6), but she also feels aroused by that sense of pride.
The sun unlike in many novels has a more immediate and compelling power in The Stranger. It mainly an agent of that brings frustration and irrationalism to Meursault's actions and life as a whole. The sun creates an environment Meursault is novice to and forces it upon him in which he uses the rage and frustration nurtured by the hostility of the sun and translates it by pulling the trigger; killing the Arab. Furthermore, the sun adds tension to his surroundings by “shining almost directly overhead onto the sand,” creating unfavorable circumstances that Meursault clearly detests. It also amplifies Meursault’s feelings to a point that he can no longer in control/contact with them.
Understanding That We Cannot Understand As humans we all want to understand everything that happens in the world around us. Either our friends are going through some drama or our family members are going through some hard times, we always want to know the who, what , where, when, why, and how.

Where did the sun come from? What is the purpose of the moon? How did we get here? These are a few of many controversial questions we ask ourselves every day. I believe that we were all created by god, in the book of Genesis Chapters 1:1-26.
