Once the sun was covered, “it was dark night.” The only light showing in the sky was the thin ring of light from the corona peering from behind the black circle that was the moon. Everything was dark and black and in what was supposed to be broad daylight, Dillard could see cars below her turning on their headlights. She later described the shadow that overcame them during the eclipse. She said that screams were heard from the hilltop, because of the unsettling speed and abruptness at which the shadow came over them.
Powerless and Power in The Wednesday Circle and Sky Burial The stories chosen are “The Wednesday Circle” by Sandra Birdsell and “Sky Burial” by Richard Van Camp. There are similarities between the character's feelings in both “The Wednesday Circle” and “Sky Burial;” the characters shift between feeling helpless and feeling empowered. The character explores the feeling of powerless and feeling empowered throughout their stories. Icabus shifts between feeling powerless to feeling empowered in his story “Sky Burial."
Eclipse Conflicts Total eclipses are wonders of nature, occurring rarely when the moon obscures the sun and casts a shadow on the Earth called an umbra. However, if the moon did not return to its normal position, there would be disastrous consequences. This is what happened in the short story “The Eclipse”, where a total solar eclipse has lasted for two months. No longer can they see the sun, nor can normal life carry on. The prolonged eclipse causes conflict within the main character Josie, but also causes external conflict between Josie and the eclipse.
Nahua Myth of the Suns Julie Black stated, “in the mythology of ancient Mexico the world began not with a Genesis overseen by one almighty god, but with a creation resulting from a group effort of many gods and the courageous efforts of two in particular. One of these deities, a deformed god with a humble spirit, became the sun, and the other, the moon” (page 1). There were five different suns, each of them was significant in there own way and how the Aztec believed in them. When I went on Google images about The Sun Gods I saw a picture that caught my attention and it was an image of a group of men holding a man down and ripped his heart out. Also in some cultures, the sun was a vicious god that needed human hearts to shine and they were
The author Laura Resau intersperses elements of the Spanish and Mixteco languages throughout the book, What the Moon Saw. My lifelong love of reading has given me experience understanding and interpreting the meaning of foreign words. Therefore, when I encountered Spanish or Mixteco words throughout the book I was able to use context clues to determine the meaning of the word if I didn’t recognize or remember it from anything I may of learned in Spanish class. From what I read, I think that the Spanish and Mixtec languages differ from English prominently through the use of punctuation and capitalization, sound, and word meanings. To begin with, the Spanish and Mixteco languages use punctuation that differs from the punctuation used in the English
When the AAA Saline baseball team found out we were going to Cooperstown we were so excited. But it cost $2,000 a person so we had to do a whole bunch of fundraiser. . We had a whole bunch on our plate because we had to do fundraisers and we had to practice a lot to be ready. The ride up there was really boring because it was 10 hours
Noticeably, the moon rises and sets at different times throughout the night. This is due to the rotation of the Earth around the Sun and the Earth’s tilt to the Sun. Each time that the moon rose, it rose at different arc degrees, approximately a 13° difference each day and moved through the sky at approximately one half of a degree per hour. Each night that was observed, a different phase of the moon was present, but the same phase is viewed throughout the night. The phases, again, are in correlation to its rotation with the Sun, as the Sun is what illuminates the Moon.
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.
The trees then had to stay up all night and those who could not lost their leaves for a period of time out of the year. People were next to come on the earth at first it was just a brother and sister. The brother hit the woman with a fish and she began to have children.

Positive attributes of community in a thousand splendid suns were the family oriented, religious, and hopeful. The attributes in A Thousand Splendid Suns were more negative. The book portrays a lot of adversity. Misfortune and heartbreak, difficulties, gender based discrimination and cruelty were the underlying attributes in the community.
Charlotte Fuchs Hartstein Writing, Autobiography Lunar Sighting On September 27, a lunar eclipse, red moon, and super moon happened at the same time, which will not happen for 18 years. Mrs. Michels, my teacher, told my class about it that Friday. So on Sunday, my neighbor Madeleine was over at the time. I told her about how I wanted to go and she agreed to go with me.
Charles Mungoshi’s story “The Setting Sun And The Rolling World” uses symbolism to develop several themes in the story. In particular, Mungoshi uses the plane as a symbol to further establish the themes of uncertainty, change, and differences in opinion. The plane is a modern machine that is always on the move, going from one place to the next, as the way a boy dreams. He wants to leave his traditions in the hopes of creating a new future for himself separate from his father. Although the father views this as a mistake when he notices the plane disappearing “quickly over the southern rim of the sky,” we sense Musoni’s feeling of helplessness and anger towards his son.
It’s apparent that discoveries are made every day, from the insignificant finding of a new restaurant in town to the life-changing discovery of a new cure for cancer. However, what is mostly underestimated about these findings is their emotional value and the recognition that the emotional aspect of discovery is what allows it to be most influential on an individual. These emotional awakenings provoke confrontation, acceptance and an evaluation of one’s values. This ultimately allow for various perceptions and conclusions to be made about one’s self and humanity as a whole. Robert Frost produced timeless pieces of poetry that apply to many facets of life today.
Strategic Planning Another area that was quite apparent during my interview with Tina was her use of strategic planning in both a managerial aspect, but also in a client based aspect. When asked about one of the most important things that she has learned in her position, Tina said, “Everything is subject to change” (personal communication, April 9, 2018). As Tina continued to describe her use of strategic planning, I was able to connect it with two important elements in the general definition of strategy, plan and perspective (Tschirhart & Bielefeld, 2012). Tina talked about the importance of having a course of action that can be discussed with the clients when they come to her for help. Tina expressed the importance that “There is not a textbook
