Scientific Star Research Paper

592 Words3 Pages

Whenever I look up at the night sky, I can see the stars that are just visible enough for me to see as a small dot. I look up at the stars wondering if they are galaxies, stars, or even planets. Whatever those stars may be I see them as opportunities, opportunities for us to see and explore. However, they aren’t the only stars that can be seen as opportunities. The stars that are drawn on paper can also be seen as opportunities. The five points that are formed to make a regular star on paper are like choices that we have in life. There are also stars that are drawn with more than five points that can be seen the same. The star is a symbol that I see as a guide that will show me the paths that I could take. The star is a symbol that is used in many cultures as a religious symbol or scientific symbol. In Christianity now a days, the star enclosed in a circle or a pentagram, as it is also know, is viewed as a sign of evil or darkness. In the past, the pentagram was viewed as the five wounds of Christ on the cross, which made the pentagram a symbol of Christ, the Savior. In science, the pentagram has a man in it to represent our place in the macrocosm or universe. …show more content…

The scientific star represented our place in the universe due to the number five being repeated by our body, my star represents the five choices people can make along with the other five choices that will follow. The star I use as my symbol would represent the choices I would make for myself and once I make a choice, many more choices will follow. Just like the scientific star, the number five will keep being a common number that will define where one would end up. Possibly after making all these decisions, just like the stars in the sky, you would have formed a constellation that would be represented by where you are in the

The yellow star also symbolizes all of the labels and restrictions that that the Nazi’s established. The star was a clear marker of segregation and it emphasized the fact that the Jews had no rights to anything

    For instance, Elie Wiesel said, “When the three days were up, there was a new decrees: every Jew must wear the yellow star.” The following relates to symbolization because the Jews were identified and then had to wear the yellow star so the Nazis would know who they were even in broad daylight. The yellow star had to be worn at all times and where everyone could see, and since it was so easily seen, the Jews with the stars were easy targets.

  • Discrimination In Night By Elie Wiesel

    The yellow star represents a small act of discrimination The Jews were forced to turn over their valuables to the Jewish council which would then be turned over to the Nazis. Many Jews hid their valuables from the Nazis so they could use them, later on, to bribe soldiers to warn the Jews about what was happening, get extra food, get better jobs, and gain information on where they were going next. When the Nazis forced the Jews to turn over their valuables, it showed the control the Nazis had over the Jewish people. The control the Nazis had over the Jews frightened them so much that they had no other choice but to obey the Nazi's orders. These examples demonstrate worsening discrimination, which societies should look out

    In Bryan E. Penprase’s chapter one of The Power of Stars, Penprase talks about many features of the sky that we admire every day. The general theme of this chapter in my opinion is the relevance astronomy has in our everyday lives, and how it’s been that way since the ancient times. Each culture has their own interpretation of what the sky means whether it come to festival planning, farming, harvesting, and even religious means. The ancient Indians had their lives planned around the alignment of the stars.

' No-one had got around to fixing up yet' tells of how the stars are the only thing not corrupted by forces such as people in the world. They are simply pure, much like kids in their youth.
