The darkness of the night sky and the stars within will all be forgotten as result of artificial light polluting the night sky; at least that’s what the author of Let There Be Dark claims. The author, Paul Bogard, fears an age of where there will not be a night sky, forever disturbing society. Every human will be affected in this dilemma; being rich or poor won’t matter. Paul uses as many resources as possible to connect with the audience, so his point would get across. Paul harnesses the emotions
Starry Night is a beautiful painting, representational in the type of art. The size of the painting is 29 in. by 36 ¼ in., and oil on canvas were the materials used. Van Gogh is using an expressive quality and an emotionalism viewpoint. On the left side of the painting, there is a group of black lines that curve in waves upward, coming to a point. To the lower right, there is a small town that leads up to hills and then mountains. The painting is set at night, and the sky is a wondrous swirl of bursting
once more at the sea where the sunset splattered colors of red and orange on the rough surface of blue and violet. Although the boardwalk was lively with smells of French fries and the cries of seagulls, I nuzzled into the car seat and waited for the Night Time Tour to begin. I absolutely loved long car rides; it was the perfect excuse to let idle thoughts roam and to isolate myself from the world. I only observed the outside through the window of the family van, my personal theater. The images that
The article talks about two main beneficiaries from long exposure to dark conditions: the environment and humans. As seen in the second paragraph, he talks about the World Health Organization (WHO) in that, "Already the [WHO] classifies working the night shift as a probable human carcinogen." In the statement above, the author is using information from reliable sources that have done studies to prove the results as a way to make his text more credible. Moreover, the sentence right after offers another
In Company of the Moon and Inner Sorrow, “Acquainted with the Night” In Robert Frost’s poem, “Acquainted with the Night”, there is a sense of melancholic loneliness of which the speaker seems to be content with. The reader sees a glimpse of his perpetual depression on a habitual night time walk. He starts by saying he is “one acquainted with the night” (line 1). He feels a sort of companionship with this time of day. Ironically enough, while most everyone else is asleep and quiet, he feels a sense
“Gavin, do not pull the trigger!” I shouted across the alleyway. Before I could finish my sentence, the bullet had left the muzzle of the slick hand gun and straight into the once blood bumping heart of the victim. The power of one small, metal bullet was unthinkable, taking away another one’s unconditional love, a lifetime of memories. The gunshot cracked into the air as loud as the thunder. I examined Gavin’s face. Fear, guilt and regret was written all over it. He ran over to the lifeless body
Edana, Goddess of Passion (Xana and Durihan) “Have you heard of the Goddess Edana?” Sven asked over the fire. The stars were already out, the night sky a blanket for the Kingdom of Felhine. And beneath the stars, sitting in the midst of a forest was a man and woman around a fire. The man a strong and proud warrior of the north, broad shoulders accompanied by defined and battle tested muscle. He looked very much the part of a barbarian, and the way he fought only confirmed that. But who Sven really
20th-century art. Although van Gogh was plagued throughout his life with depression, mental illness, loneliness, and isolation, people are still drawn to him because of his ability to create beauty out of the pain of being treated as an insane outcast. His stormy and dramatic life and his unswerving devotion to his ideals have made him one of the great cultural heroes of modern times, providing the most auspicious material for the 20th-century vogue in romanticized psychological biography. Who knows of how

Disguise is the source of theatrical appeal in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. Discuss the validity of this statement. Michael Pennington describes Twelfth Night as a typical Romantic Comedy with a sublime sense of inconcsequentiality amidst the lyrical nature that plagues its environment. Therefore it is none other than that of a romantic comedy, and by definition, seeks the usage of a most humourous yet vital factor that shapes the events that are to occur; Disguise. Disguise indeed gives rise
