The transmitter that was placed on Earth was never uncovered but the one on the moon was. In both works the aliens never stayed on Earth to watch the outcome of the Earth life forms but chose instead to offer a means to communicate the evolution of these life forms into more intelligent beings. While how the first contact was made on with the Earthlings is very important to the plot of both the short story and the movie, it is also important to know when and where the actual contact was made. A more in-depth look at the discovery and interpretation is needed to determine the significance of the contact. In “The Sentinel” an alien
At the moon, Titus sees this pretty girl (Violet) at the other side of the club: "And then I saw someone watching...she was the most beautiful girl, like, ever" (Anderson 11).

In ‘One Night the Moon’ when Albert gives Rose Emily’s toy, it symbolizes that cultural differences can be overcome through understanding. Contrastingly this notion is encompassed through the musical duet sung by Jim and Albert. Albert sings in a low key, ‘This land is me’, symbolizing his strong attachment to the land. Alternatively, Jim sings in a high key, ‘This land is mine’, suggesting that he is distanced, uncomfortable and unfamiliar of his relationship with nature. Culturally, Jim is still attached to his European roots and can therefore not adopt his identity to the Australian landscapes and it threatens
In the book when Ishmael is outside during the night he feels safe as he watches the moon. When Ishmael starts to ignore the moon he starts to lack safety and loses his freedom of expression. The next symbol that is heavily used is the cassettes and music. The cassettes of Ishmael always give him a sense of safety and symbolise his freedom of expression, his morality and humanity. Before the war Ishmael and his friends would dance and be able to feel free, but when the war starts and Ishmael is recruited into the army he loses those cassettes and with them his morality and humanity.
Furthermore, the moon reappears once Jane meets Rochester at Thornfield Manor. The nature surrounding Jane Eyre “…gives a direct warning through the fury unleashed when Jane accepts Rochester’s proposal… Nature’s most assertive attempt to guide Jane away from Rochester” (Renfroe 6). Unfortunately, at this time the moon was not on the conscious of Jane and, therefore she does not heed the warning. Rochester becomes her new comfort as he will “take mademoiselle to the moon, and there [he] shall seek a cave in one of the white valleys
Apollo 13 The Mission Insignia for Apollo 13 showed the god Apollo, representing the Sun, riding his chariot across the surface of the Moon to symbolize the Apollo Project bringing back new knowledge from the Moon. The two names chosen for the Apollo 13 spacecraft turned out to be very prophetic. The Command Module was called Odyssey from Homer and Arthur C. Clarke’s fictitious works. Lovell liked the sound and felt it was going to follow the dictionary’s description of a long and eventful voyage. The Lunar Module was called after the sign of the Zodiac and star constellation Aquarius, the water carrier, at times identified with Zeus pouring the waters of life down from the heavens.
“The Moon We Left Behind” Title: I think this title could possibly mean that we left something special about the moon behind. Author: Charles Krauthammer is an editor to the time magazine, Krauthammer writes weekly columns for time magazine. Krauthammer is also a psychiatrist, journalist, political scientist, speech writer and has also been awarded for what he does. Purpose: I think the purpose of this piece is expressive writing because he talks about his expressions. The author does not believe what was promised and also about how we should look at the moon.
Then came Earth (Gaia) and Eros (god of love or desire). Out of the Void or Chaos came Darkness (Erebus) and Night (Nyx); from Night, Light and Day. Earth produced the Sky (Uranus) to cover herself. Then, by coupling they produced an enormous
They had the first satellite, the first manmade object to orbit the sun, the first manmade object to impact the moon, the first man and women in space, they had the first ever space walk, the first manmade object to impact venus, and the first satellite to orbit the moon. However somehow we caught up and were first to put man on the moon on June 20th 1969. With Apollo 11 landing and Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the moon we felt a bit more secure about the cold war now that we were in charge of space. This actually came in handy later when we said that we could destroy all Soviet missiles with a program named SDI or star
As his name suggests, Moon has two sides – one that is a reflection of the immediate events and people around him, and another, much like the “dark side of the moon” that is private and hidden. Moon’s hidden but true character is seen in his interactions with another character, Ashraf, his response to the death of Ashraf, and in his actions at the memorial
