Sunrise Essays

At sunrise, the sudden movement of the sun over the horizon wakes up the sky and floods it with a warm red color. With the glowing orb of yellow now visible, the landscape of the savannah becomes noticeable with the dark shadow of few trees looking microscopic to the large sun. The scene is like a mouse to a tiger. A few wispy clouds, that are as slender as a pole, meander along the sky. As the shimmering sun continues to rise, the creatures of the savannah act as if the sunrise is an alarm clock

Chanyeol awoke the next morning at the same time the sun was first arising, which wasn't entirely unusual for him, but it was always unappreciated that he could almost never sleep past sunrise. It doesn't matter much because he was already awake and there wasn't much he could do about it now. Chanyeol often went up to the main deck and observed the ocean from there. He liked the way the spray from the water gently hit his skin, creating a small burst of cold to flow through him until the sun warmed

Perspective is considered one of the most important aspects of Renaissance art. Artists such as Masaccio, Leonardo Da Vinci and Raphael made the use of this device in many of their work.

It started with a dark navy blue. The first rays of rosy-cheeked Dawn combined with it to create a splendid magenta and then went into a phase of marigold. She continued her transformation into the color of the Tuscan sun and finally, back to the cerulean blue sky. At that moment, time stopped, and he stumbled into faith. He looked

Christianity was

“Writers want to talk about creation, and censorship is anti-creation” (The New Yorker). Censorship is defined as the prohibition of a book or a film because of obscene, violent, racist or any other offensive content.

The afternoon was strangely perfect, waves bringing only light sea spray and the sun was as bright as ever in the vast sky. A groom was standing near the pedestal with his pressed suit and slick hair, a wistful expression flitting on his face. The crowd at his feet were aristocrats from the smoothest crop. Businessmen rich from oil exports, pearl harvesting, and fishing checked their clocks, a huff escaping their lips as arrogant as their groomed hair. Women kept turning their heads from their door

Journal Entry (Grandparent’s Lake House) The water was usually dark, but there was something about this particular night that made it glisten and sparkle just a little more then on other given days.

The golden sphere peeked shyly from the horizon, flooding the once brightness that engulfed Island, into one flooded with the warmth of yellow and oranges which had intertwined into a harmony of bronze. Eerie of the Island was clear for any peering eyes and ambiguous adventurous willing to venture out to the aground. The sky had turned into all shades of blue, the darker of the spectrum soon catching up amongst the purples, pinks, and oranges that had settled under the sun’s hue. Clouds of all shapes

“In listening to the silence of the mountains, I heard at last my own heart’s words and I found my voice.” This quote was on a light blue rocker that sat on the porch of the house where I was staying in Montreat, North Carolina and is representative of my experience while attending my first youth conference. Montreat is a mountain retreat center nestled between the bucolic mountains of western North Carolina. Every year, my youth group makes the pilgrimage down south to attend the Montreat Youth

As Mckenna, Emily, and I arrived late at the Long Beach Board Meeting, I was instantly transported to my senior year of high school. As ASB Vice President, I attended the Alhambra Board Meetings, and just like with Long Beach, there’s always traffic in Southern California.

The implementation of technology in Long Beach speak towards the

“Hey, look at that beautiful view!” I exclaimed as the Phoenix, Arizona sky was filled with vibrant colors and a beautiful sunset.

It was the summer of 2011, right when the sun was shining vicious during the day. We were on the way to visit Las Vegas, and the time we arrived were unexpectedly early. The scenery besides the highway started to get boring for staring at a long period of time, and suddenly, multiple high hills piled up with sand came in sight. A quick decision has been made, “let’s go closer and take a peek at it!” My friend Michelle and I were all extremely excited about this adventure. We found a open space without
