This article I found made several good points about what the other planets and moons in our solar system are like on the surface. The article talked about these things in weird and wonderful ways through the pretence of a winter wonderworld. In conducting more research on the topic of ice on other planets and moons I found an interesting website that discusses the idea of ice volcanoes. The web page “Ice volcanoes in outer space?” discusses the eruption of liquid water mixed with ammonia on Pluto’s neighbouring object, Charon. It discusses that on Charon the eruption quickly formed into an ice crystal structure. However though these points are just theory as there is no way at this current point in time for us to properly find out what is happening on Charon. It is …show more content…

The article speaks about how each planet and moon in our solar system has the potential of becoming a winter wonder ‘world’.

The main theme behind the article however is not a look at the possibly winter holidays of the future but rather a look into the key aspect of space and our

Throughout this paper, the term “Native” Hawaiian culture will refer to the social construct caused by Hawaiian history from 300 – 800 BCE right up to the annexation of Hawaii in 1898. The haole Hawaiian culture refers to the social construct as caused by colonizers, which started in 1778 and continues to this present day.

Most people remember fondly of childhood, as childhood is an innocent and carefree time. Yet childhood may be a lonely memory for others, as not everyone had the fortune of a loving household.

Yasunari Kawabata’s Snow Country (1956) is a Japanese novel based on the sense of loss, entrapment and the complexity of human emotions.
