1984- Extended Suddenly, Winston opened his eyes. He looked around and saw a white room that had nothing in it but the bed he was laying in. He could hear things beeping all around him. He had cuts covering his pale body. Winston's head was throbbing of pain. ‘’Where am I? Someone answer me NOW!’’ Winston screeched in fear. A person in a white lab coat ran to the bed where Winston lay. ‘’Sir, are you alright?’’ ‘’Who are you? Get away from me and let me out of whatever I am in.’’ Winston said
The constellation I have chosen is Ursa Major, specifically the Big Dipper within it. Ironically, Ursa Major is my favorite because of one of its many creation stories. Ursa Major is also known as the Great Bear, and lies in the northern hemisphere. It was one of the 88 constellations first recognized by the International Astronomical Union. It is also the third largest constellation in the sky. I recognize that the Big Dipper is not a constellation, this creation story is too good to pass up sharing
The pattern or shape in the night sky is called a constellation. There are many constellations, all different shapes and sizes. For example, there are horoscope constellations, or zodiac constellations, Big Dipper, Small Dipper, Pegasus, and etc. These constellations are all different shapes and sizes. But in this paper, there’s a certain type of constellation that will be discussed in this paper and those “certain type” are zodiac constellations. Not all 12 but only six: Taurus, Gemini, Leo, Libra
Introduction The constellation I've chosen is Orion (or "The Hunter"). The reason for my choice is because, having previously studied Muggle Astronomy, I know it harbours the red giant star Betelgeuse; this star is believed to be on the brink (astronomically speaking!) of going supernova and is expected to be the next star to go supernova within the Milky Way. Indeed, all the eyes of Muggle Astronomers are upon it, as the last directly observed supernova explosion in our galaxy dates back to 1604
Constellation is a specific group of formed stars that are creating a pattern that is recognized as a shape that a is named from the form figure in the sky. Constellations are all over the universe, new ones are created every day as the universe is expanding more and more every day. The constellations that we see every day is only a few of the stars that scientist have discovered, so far there are more constellation farther out in the universe but with our technology today we are not able to see
both the northern and southern hemispheres. With this known it is understandable why it is one of the most recognised patterns in the sky, although it does appear differently oriented depending on where the observers are located. History: The constellation Orion is named after a giant huntsman in Greek Mythology. The arrangement of the stars somewhat resemble a hunter holding a shield or lion. To the east and south are his hunting dogs Canis Major and Canis Minor with whom he fought the bull Taurus
Constellations are patterns of groups of stars in the sky. They have been around for a long time, and most people know of the most common ones, especially the zodiac constellations. I find constellations interesting because I always liked trying to find them in the night sky, and I have always wondered how they came about. Constellations have an important history that many do not know about. Constellations have been around for over 3000 years. No one knows who invented them, however astronomers believe
eras bygone such as the Greeks, Romans, and Babylonians, and bestowed most, if not all of the titles upon the constellations as we know them today. Earth’s atmosphere comprises eighty-eight constellations, of which I have chosen the following five to discuss for my laboratory report: Andromeda, Big Dipper, Cassiopeia, Cepheus, and Draco The most notable characteristic of the constellation Andromeda its appearance resembles the letter “V”. It’s position, adjacent to the North Pole, means that to
Essay 85: Orion the Hunter Orion, the Hunter, is perhaps the most widely recognized of all constellations. In Greek mythology, Orion was a mighty hunter who triumphed over the mightiest beasts but fell victim to the bite of a lowly scorpion. To acknowledge this, the gods placed Orion on the opposite side of the sky as the constellation Scorpio so the two would never be visible simultaneously. To the ancient Egyptians, Orion was the god Osiris, while Amazonian Indians saw Orion as a giant river
Perhaps the simplest constellation of the four original Greek constellations is the Hyades. One of the first mentions of the Hyades is found in Works and Days by Homer, as a seasonal signal to farmers. Farmers were told “... when the... Hyades... begin to set... remember to plough...” (Hesiod 612-613). The myth is that the Hyades are believed to be the daughters of the Titan Atlas and the Oceanid Aethra and the sisters of the Pleiades (Britannica School). After nursing the god Dionysus as a baby
Hercules is a large constellation in the northern hemisphere. It was originally included on the list of constellations by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd century. Once known as Engonasin or the Kneeler in Greece, the constellation is now identified with the Greek hero Heracles, or Hercules in Roman mythology, and depicted as a hero figure standing triumphantly over a slain dragon, holding a club. The dragon is associated with Ladon, the beast with a hundred heads that guarded the Garden
The Changing Image of Women Position in Chinese Film Since 1950s Since 1950s, after the Chairman Mao Zedong’s Yanán conference, art and literature had strictly become tools of promoting the ideology of Communist Party, that is, the product of art and literature in China can be classified as highly popanganda. Chairman Mao Zedong and his Communist Party strongly suggested the equality of both genders - male and female. To promote Mao’s theory, certain kind of strong female character's image had
China. During the first few years when China was in control of Tibet, the Chinese declared that Tibet should be part of China, because an Emperor of Tibet once married a Chinese princess. Years later, the Chinese said that Tibet was part of China because of the warrior Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan and the Mongolians were in control of Tibet, but they never made Tibet belong to China. Secondly, the Tibetan people and the Chinese are totally different, culturally and socially speaking. Both peoples have
Chinese Dynasties: 1. Shang: Also called Yin, dynasty that was China's earliest historically verifiable state 1766 B.C. to 1122 B.C. A. Reason's for Rise: Unlike the early accounts of history by the Chinese, there is archaeological evidence of the Shang, who built their cities in northern China around the eastern parts of the Yellow River. For this reason they are called the Yellow River civilization. They were a bronze age people; bronze-working seems to have entered China around 2000 BC (about
Investigating the Osmotic Values of Chinese Radish and Potato Cores Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of high water potential (Ψ) to an area of low water potential through a selectively permeable membrane. The diagrams above shows that only the water molecules can move quickly through the pores in the selectively permeable membrane. The sugar molecules (glucose arde too big to move through the gaps withease. Since there is a higher water potential on the left-hand side more water molecules
Chinese Entrepreneurs in Singapore: Paths to Success Due to the economic hardships and threat of Japanese invasion in China in the first half of the 20th century, many men left their homeland in search of success and opportunities abroad. One of the places that many of them migrated to was Singapore. This new and foreign place was fraught with obstacles; however, some of these Chinese men eventually achieved great success. The success of these Chinese entrepreneurs in Singapore was not only
Anti-Chinese Riots Happening in Washington State In the last decades of the 19th century, anti-Asian backlash fueled by high unemployment which increased resentment against Asian settlers, anti-Asian legislation, and growing nativism, erupted into violent riots in Washington State. Throughout the 1880s, thousands of Chinese laborers were especially targeted for murder, assault, and forced evacuation all across the state. The reasoning behind and the implications of these acts of violence
What culture they had was to be forgotten – a difficult and practically impossible feat. The Chinese-Americans faced a wall of cultural difference that could only be scaled with the support of their parents and local community. The book review of Bone by Nhi Le stated clearly how “ … the first generations’ struggle to survive and the second generations’ efforts to thrive … ” made the transition into American culture possible. Overcoming barriers such as language, education, work ethic, and sex roles
Chinese Mothers and their American Daughters in Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club ““No choice! No choice!” She doesn’t know. If she doesn’t speak, she is making a choice. If she doesn?t try, she can lose her chance forever. I know this because I was raised the Chinese way: I was taught to desire nothing, to swallow other people?s misery, to eat my own bitterness. And even though I taught my daughter the opposite, still she came out the same way! Maybe it is because she was born to me and
people and Chinese people are all generally nice and friendly. Since I arrived here, I have had to use English and faced a completely new environment. Almost all Americans whom I have met are willing to help; they accompanied me to apply for my Wild Card (the student ID in our school), helped me answer phones, and explained things patiently to me. Without their help, I cannot imagine how I could have gotten through the first half year of my stay. To me, Americans are as nice as Chinese. On the other
