...The sky is blue because When the sky is clear and blue it is because blue light is reflected by molecules in the air from the sun a lot more than they are reflecting red light. The sunlight has all the colors of the range in it; when reflected through a prism or these little compounds, you see different colors. Those colors you see in the sky are derived from this principle why is the sky blue crip knowledge. So exactly like when you glow a white light through different angles of a prism, the molecules reflect different shades when the sun is lower in the sky, including when you see the red and oranges sunset. At sunset, the blue is then out of your type of sight. This is a really deep matter. You’ve to comprehend perhaps and prisms which kinds of compounds reveal the different shades. So many actually technical things to consider. In about 1859 man called John Tyndall took measures in the name of science to explain the sky’s color. He proved that light passes through clear water and acts like a prism by polarizing the light with benefits and particular attributes. This is know as the Tyndall Effect, frequently recognized to physicists as Rayleigh scattering–after Lord Rayleigh, who analyzed it in greater detail a couple of years later. His tests demonstrated, and showed, the number of light scattered is inversely proportional to the fourth power of wavelength for sufficiently small particles. It followa a blue...

...The Swing How do you like to go up in a swing, Up in the air so blue? Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing Ever a child can do! Up in the air and over the wall, Till I can see so wide, River and trees and cattle and all Over the countryside-- Till I look down on the garden green, Down on the roof so brown-- Up in the air I go flying again, Up in the air and down! Robert Louis Stevenson Because I Could Not Stop for Death( personification) Top of Form Because I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves And Immortality. We slowly drove, he knew no haste, And I had put away My labour, and my leisure too, For his civility. We passed the school where children played, Their lessons scarcely done; We passed the fields of gazing grain, We passed the setting sun. We paused before a house that seemed A swelling of the ground; The roof was scarcely visible, The cornice but a mound. Since then 'tis centuries; but each Feels shorter than the day I first surmised the horses' heads Were toward eternity. The poem by Emily Dickinson "Because I could not stop for Death" is know to be one of the best poems in English. Every image extends and intensifies each other. But there are some pro and cons in this poem. The poem helps us to characterize and bring death down to a more personal level. It shows a different perspective of death that the more popular views of death being brutal and...

...learn that the American opportunity had to be earned. At Hartsfield-Jackson, I overcame the Korean Airline’s terminal, the merry-go-round conveyor belt, and my first night in Atlanta. At 10 p.m. I walked out of a Korean Airline’s terminal, which have just landed in Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. I followed my mother, who was about a shoulder length taller than me, to check in to the busiest airport in the world. Walking slowly but steadily, my mother who in one hand was holding my right arm and the other hand was pulling on a rolling luggage, walked us up to one of the many blue uniformed officers sitting on a high chair with a highlighter ready in hand. The blue uniform man took our passports and stamped the famous United States’ eagle on the second page of our red travel book and soon after welcomed us officially to the land of opportunity. Passing through the blue uniformed officers, my mother and I went through a rigorous and tedious security test, which involves taking off our shoes, belts, and any objects that were metallic. The gut wrenching feel from the airplane ride was worsen by my exhausted...

...Between Edward and Peg, in the back seat, the top of Peg's blue Avon case can be seen, above that the beige leather back seats are visible. Above the back seats, reaching to the same level as the rear-view mirror, is the black back dash shelf of the car, while pieces of the view from the rear windshield are seen above it, interrupted by the rear-view mirror, Peg and Edward's heads, and the chassis outline of the car (window and door frames). To far left and right hand side the view of the town outside the car can also be seen, interrupted at points by the door and window frames. Most of the colors in the outside view are bright pastels, except for the grey asphalt and bright green grass in the lawns. Several people are shown walking, with dogs, or playing in the background as the car drives by. Parts of peoples' houses, cars, and nearly identical mailboxes are also visible, including a house that is covered in a blue and orange striped fumegation tarp. The rear windshield, windows, backseat top edges, and front seat top edges create several “frames within a frame” and emphasize the frame's depth of...

...Lake Artist: L.F Baeles Date: 1885 Medium: Oil on Canvas Size: Na Location: Lyman Allyn Art Museum Description On the Lake is a painting art done by an American artist L.F Beales in 1885. The painting was exhibited at Lyman Allyn Art Museum during 2015 august exhibition at the museum. The art is done on canvas using oil paint. In the painting, one can see a boat on the lake with two sailors. One sailor is a man, and the other is a woman. The woman in the boat is decently dressed, and she is peddling the boat. The man is gazing at the large landscape at the end of the lake. At both edges of the lake, there is a landscape covered with big bush. At a distance, there is another boat occupied by two sailors. The two sailors at the distant boat can be seen conversing with each other. The sky is very brighter with scattered brown clouds indicating that it was on a summer evening (Leiber, Alden, Mœglin-Delcroix, & Purves, T. 2001). From the look, the painting represents a couple enjoying a date at the lakeside on a summer evening. However, the man is depicted as naïve looking on how he is dressed and is being distracted by the large landscape covered with bushes. The woman is seen gesturing her to concentrate. There is another couple in the other boat that is seen enjoying their time by looking at how they are communicating. The lady in the big boat has diverted her attention to the couple in the other boat, and it can be interpreted that she wishes she could be comfortable...

...blazing sun spreads across the light blue sky, where the clouds light and fluffy as cotton candy. The golden sun reflects gently on my skin, as the light flowing breeze flows through my hair, tickles my skin like a feather. The beach, the first thing I come across was the white sandy beach as white as snow with a trickle of golden sun light reflecting from the radiant sun. The tide swiftly lapped the shore, the water a bright blue, the first thing I noticed the water was clean, clear Celeste blue beautiful bright colour I see my reflection it was crystal clear it stared right back at me, splash, splash I crashed into the water it was warm soft feeling, I screamed in delight, the water rushed all of my skin with a warm fresh feeling, as I came out, the water stung my eyes like a bee stuck my finger, the feeling of warmness jumped off my body like a grasshopper jumping through grass, all of a sudden there was a rush of coldness hit my skin , bang goose bumps hit my skin, I shivered, and shivered but when sun light hit my skin the coldness dance off my skin. My stomach rumbled and growled as loud as a loin’s growl as the aroma of flame-grilled meat drifts towards me. I could hear the sizzling on the open fire and the steak fat dribbling and hissing as it spills onto the grill, the smell of sizzling sausages on an open fire, the mouth-watering smell freshly cooked chicken. Sun set every night spread slowly across the sky into a tangy orange sky light as a fiery red circle of light...

...The school of Athens Raphael Page 158 Essay I It is day time, a bright blue sky with white clouds scattered here and there and the school Of Athens is crowded with people from as little as kids all the way to elders. The school of Athens is an ancient building that has a high ceiling with oval shape, which divided the building to three sections. There is a big arch way at the front and stairs which takes to the other part of the building. On the left and right of the walls statues of men are hung all white in color and also paint of angles drawn on the ceiling. People are scattered around the room evenly dressed in different colors of toga orange, blue, white and so on. Some are writing, some are reading, a lot of men and some women and children. The building itself can be an example of form because it is a three-dimensional, from the arch way to the back of the building. The series of lines under the arch way can represent the line and the old man sitting on the stairs signifies space because one can tell his feet is closer than the rest of his body. The design on the floor can reflect the texture of the picture because it shows a certain pattern or design. One example of value is the man on the left side of the picture talking to the half necked guy, the light on his brown toga gets darker as it goes to the left side of his body. The pieces on the picture are more or less evenly distributed on the left and right side and can say the picture is balanced...

...idioms can often be very difficult to understand. You may be able to guess the meaning from context but if not, it is not easy to know the meaning. We tend to think of colors as ideas which all humans agree on – grass is green, flames are orange, the sky is light blue – even if different languages have different names for these colors. As English speakers, we also tend to think of color names in terms of the "basic" ones and the more specific, secondary ones. Many people are surprised to learn, therefore, that different languages do not consider the basic colors to be the same. This research has inevitably led some linguists to surmise that the experience of seeing color may be relative for a person and may be influenced by his or her language. It follows, then, that colors are used in very different ways in different color idioms across languages. 2.

...Night had finally at last fallen over New York City, as the sunlight disappeared, leaving no traces behind. Just an hour ago, it was raining, but that ceased as well. The city streets were full of people bustling and hurrying about getting to their destinations. A few teenagers walked along the street. The desolate streets of one particular section of the city were strangely alive tonight. Thin, gunmetal clouds which once blocked out the night sky had now opened up, revealing a large dark blue sky and a sea of glittering stars, which shone brightly, embedded like a thousand tiny diamonds encrusted upon its surface. White string lights were hung up above on a green overpass roof. A tan banner also hung from it, and written in faded letters were "Brooklyn Coal," across it, and five lit street lamps were there as well. There was a small garden store right next to the magazine and vegetable and fruit stand. Tan baskets of...

...One instance where nature is personified is on page one hundred sixty six, “When i was a child, my grandmother told me that the sky speaks to those who look and listen to it. She said ‘In the sky there are always answers and explanations for everything: every pain, every suffering, joy and confusion ‘ That night I wanted the sky to talk to me.’”. Another example of nature being personified is “Some nights the sky wept stars that quickly floated and disappeared into the darkness [..] behind clouds to avoid seeing what was happening” on page eighty. The moon was cold unhappy and dark this night. No one knew why either. No one had done anything lately to make the moon upset, nor sad. All the villagers started to take notice and soon all the people were outside their huts looking up at the moon in wonder and fascination....
