238,900 miles away, the earth’s moon is one that is truly unique. With a given age of about 4.5 billion years the Earth serves a major role in real life and in the book Life as We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer. When catastrophe strikes, Earth takes a turn for the worst and great natural disasters occur. Thousands die, but there are a number of survivors. If there are survivors, how beneficial is the moon actually? What would happen if the moon had been destroyed? How necessary is it for human survival? The Moon, is a great benefactor to human survival because of the benefits earth gets from it.

In Pat Conroy’s Novel “Prince of Tides”, Susan Lowenstein is a psychiatrist from New York City. Her patient Savannah Wingo has made several suicide attempts and often uses poetry as an escape from reality. Savannah’s brother Tom visits Lowenstein to further discuss his sister’s troubles. Lowenstein being a psychiatrist makes her a very paradoxical character due to the fact she herself has problems of her own.

Dutch expert Henk Ovink once told New Times that “Miami will no longer be a land city, but a city in the sea.” (Weiss, 2015). There has been a rise of 10 inches in sea levels in the 19th century. As of today, the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico of the United States are the two areas that are more prone to sea level rises (Infographic, n.d.). Miami is the fourth-largest population in the world that is susceptible to this predicament. On top of that, it seems that floods are becoming more frequent and more damaging than ever. It is estimated by the end of the century, Miami can get another rise of 6 to 10 feet of water (McKie, 2014). There are clear signs of the tides taking effect in the city. Homes and shops are being surrounded by water in

Not many fictional stories have much success addressing real world problems like global warming and pushing animals to extinction. People often hear Fiction an assume that the story will be one of a completely made up story line that has little to no truth in it and lacks the necessary details of a nonfiction story. Even though the story line is not based on real events it does make one more aware of the things going on around us.When reading you must look at the fragile and dangerous ecosystem that the Sundrabans offer. The land constantly is changing because of tides which puts the people at risk of loosing there homes at all times. If that struggle is not scary enough the people of the Sundrabans have to fear the predators who roam the waters and the land. Its also an equal relationship with humans as well due to there over fishing of areas and damming of the fresh water streams. At this point you think it could not get any worse but it does because they have severe weather which comes through and can wipe out whole villages and kill hundreds of thousands of people. The Hungry Tide by Amitav Gosh addresses the

“Another successful mission, aye, Mercury?” said Spectre knowing full well that the mission they just completed would be Mercury’s last one. “Like we’ve ever failed?” the arrogant swagger in Mercury’s walk and voice never failed to annoy Spectre, oh how happy I’ll be when you’re finally dead, Spectre thought to himself. As the two teenage soldiers walked back to the barracks, Spectre kept going over the plan in his head, as soon as he takes off his armor, I’ll slit his throat, or perhaps drive a sword through his heart. Spectre knew he could not fail, for these orders were straight from Lion himself. “Hear any news about the rebels?” Mercury’s voice snapped Spectre back to reality, almost startling him. “No, I haven’t” Spectre said nervously, anxious about the murder he would

There is a relationship between the phases of the moon and the levels of the tides. The new moon causes the water level to rise the highest. For example, in Portland, Maine the water risen to 10.5 feet, which is the highest in July 2014 during the new moon phrase. In Pensacola, Florida, the water risen to 1.8 feet in July 2014, which is the highest in July 2014 during the new moon. Lastly, in Anchorage, Alaska, the water risen to 33 feet, which is the highest in July 2014 during the new moon. The reason for this is because the new moon causes the water level to rise the most is by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun. This causes to have spring tides that have strong and very high tides which occurs every 14 days when the Earth, the

I remember when my grandma and I went outside to play when I was about 4 years old. The sky was the most beautiful shade of blue you had ever laid your eyes on, like a crystal clear majestic ocean in the most exotic and breathtaking countries imaginable. We started with just a simple game of catch, however, throwing a blue and yellow Winnie the Pooh ball back and forth can get pretty old really fast. So we stopped playing catch and I skipped my way over, like most 4 year old girls did, to the slide. Now I had been down this slide no problem about a million times and so to think that something would go wrong this time, was just plain inconceivable to my four year old mind. How wrong I was. I started my descent up the red, thin, and metal ladder,

The overall idea of this theory is that the Earth collided with a Mars sized planet named Theia and left large amounts of debris. This excess amount of debris orbited the Earth and then became our moon. This would have taken place 4.5 billion years ago, when no humans were around to witness this happening. This means that people must rely solely on the scientific evidence. The moon is

There are two consequences two this. A huge mass now lies from the line connecting the centers of the Earth and the Moon, this drags the moon forward giving it more kinetic energy. This also means that the Moon is slowly drifting away from us. The Moon also pulls on the Earth’s bulge, which drags it back and takes away from its rotational energy thus lengthening the Earth’s

My class and I just finished reading the poem, “the tide rises, and the tide falls” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. In chapter 29 of “Walk Two Moons” the poem was introduced by one of the characters, Mrs. Birchway. The poem continued within the novel, which is a perfect example of alliteration. Longfellow has demonstrated the techniques of rhyme scheme in the first stanza. The pattern aabba, and in the last stanza the pattern is aadda. The speaker uses repetition throughout the poem. In lines one, five, ten, and fifth teen Longfellow establishes a rhythmic pattern symbolizes the waves and tides of the ocean. The author uses this rhythmic pattern to create a heartbeat or pulse to keep the reader in suspense.

Due to ever increasing studies on the subject, circumstances for making the moon have been hypothesized. According to the article three scenarios specifically are being examined, “One argues for a one big splat early in solar-system history; a second envisions a score of lesser blows that built up the Moon over time; and a third suggests water was involved.” Despite what most people think, we still have yet to truly pin point how our moon was formed, there’s even still a lot of discussion on how Earth itself formed. Approximately 30 years ago it was theorized that something, around the mass of the planet Mars, may have struck the Earth with such intensity it expelled enough debris into orbit to accumulate into an object roughly the size of

In the movie The Prince of Tides, the kind of Psychotherapy being portrayed is Psychodynamic. Psychodynamic therapy is a deriving from the psychoanalytic tradition, views individuals as responding to unconscious forces and childhood experiences and seek to enhance self-insight. The therapist in the movie uses the patients brother to find out the root of the patients disturbing Psychodynamic behavior. By doing so she discovers the darkness of the family’s history.

The moons gravity has a huge impact on our planets tides. Despite it being so far away from the earth. The tides happen because the moons gravity which pull on the earth. This causes effects on the earth such as when the moon is higher the oceans raise higher. Where the earth is closest to the moon and on the opposite side of the earth.
