functions. Light and darkness are the two universal symbols of Sonny’s Blues. Light has usually conveyed the goodness, hope, and purity of life. In the other hand, darkness performs for death, tragedy, and negativity. As light connects with darkness, it created an attraction for the readers. Additionally, music is a conventional symbol that brings happiness to Sonny, the main character in the story. The light symbol has given away the literal and figurative significant.

or despair. Light and dark are words commonly thrown about, usually to describe gradients of color. But humans need light in the sense of comfort, a way out, or the promise of salvation. They have to find this light in life, to turn away from the darkness.

of light converges more rapidly along the tangential direction compared to that of the sagittal direction, thus changing the beam profile from a circular one to a more elliptical one. Because the tangential focus is reached before the sagittal focus, the elliptical beam is compressed into a straight perpendicular line. This made the vertical lines appear clearer and sharper. Therefore the horizontal and vertical lines did not blur equally Q3. The optical quality of an

Poet James Russell Lowell once wrote, “Light is the symbol of truth.” The author of The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne, shares this same sentiment throughout the novel. The difference between darkness and light symbolizes the clash between truth and deception. The main characters illustrate how light connects to truth, and how truth ultimately leads to salvation.

Another very common theme represented throughout both texts, is the constant allusion to light. Within “A Streetcar Named Desire”, the use of light reveals Blanche’s role and appearance as a character. One of Blanche’s biggest flaws is that she prefers to be only seen in the dark.

has changed since then.

After stating various more facts Bogard then asks a rhetorical question, ”In a world awash with electric light... his “Starry Night”?”

Short Story Darkness. Pitch black. Nothing can be seen but emptiness. Suddenly a blinding crevasse of light is the only thing that is in vision, and it is miniscule. The light seems to be growing by the smallest measurements. The great dark pit was lost and now everything was blurry. Nothing was defined but a beam of light. Slowly, everything began to focus. Little by little, time seemed to be flying by before I could see something. My head was trembling as it ached. My fingers felt like needles

‘endless nights’. She has also used personification, claiming that the clocks have ‘stole light’, this is a metaphor for the inevitability of change and emphasized the insignificance of human resistance against time.

Within each of us there is a light that drives us, fuels us, and connects us to the world. There has always been a drumming in my heart, pushing me toward releasing my light into the world. For years I lived in fear; attached to the belief that I was not enough, forcing my light to hide inside. When I began working in the non-profit sector I saw a similar light in the youth that I was facilitating. I began to build curriculum and programing to cultivate this light inside each of them. Through no

cold night, wind blowing fiercely against bolted windows, rattling their frames. Orange-yellow flames glowed brightly in the fireplace of a small sub-urban house in London, while a young man stood by the window pane staring into the distance. The light from the furnace illuminated his handsome face as he sighed once again and shifted to put his weight on the other foot. Sirius Black, the handsome, dark-haired, young man had been standing tiredly by the window for a long while now, ever since he returned

In the beginning there were two siblings. There was Light, who had control over many magnificent things, such as friendship, hope, and most of all love, and there was her brother, Darkness, who was the exact opposite. He controlled chaos, war, and dishonesty; he tainted almost everything he touched. He didn’t have the power to create things like Light; Darkness only had the power to destroy. Light loved her brother despite the fact he had ruined countless of her creations, it was just in her nature

The definition of darkness is the absence of light. So am I missing light? Because without light there is no darkness, but with darkness, there is no light. You cannot see darkness. Darkness cannot be fully understood. So does that mean no one will understand who- I mean what, I am? Darkness only comes when everything is gone, yet everything can hide within. People fear what lies within me, yet so do I, for I have no control over what hides inside. Darkness is nothing, then darkness is everything

Johnson Heade’s, Passion Flowers with Three Hummingbirds, exudes something special to visualize not only for its bright floral colors, but the heart of the painting is the three hummingbirds in their natural element. Nature and wildlife has always brought me joy and wonderment, which has lead me to some bird watching in my time. This would be a type of painting displaying in my home would be an honor, as the birds symbolize tranquility and peace in nature; doing what they do naturally.

A Former Prisoner. I can hear silence. It is pitch black except for the faint light ray, piercing through the closed glassy window. At least, I am free of these shackles now. The shackles set by my over-protective, over-scrutinizing parents that deteriorated with time. These fixed steel shackles that prevented me countless times from escaping. But, I still cannot escape because I am scared to leave the cell and go outside. I cannot even remember the last time I held a meaningful human interaction

Alexia Bushi Mrs. Aurigemma EN110 3 March, 2023 Macbeth Imagery The idea of light and dark forces have been around the world for quite a long time, establishing a notion of good and bad characters.

In Shakespeare’s novel Macbeth, Shakespeare employs light and dark imagery to illustrate, during Macbeth’s rise to power and loss of it, that there are both good and evil beings within the world. Dark imagery

The purpose of this lab was to figure out what the relationship between atomic line spectra and atomic structure is by using spectroscope scale reading methods to explore the lights emitted by different hydrogen or metals in heated in a flame. During part one, the spectroscope was calibrated to correct for systematic error by comparing the experimental wavelengths to the known or provided wavelength. The scale positions of the different colored lines: violet, blue,yellow, and green were recorded
