The moon has different phases that result from its rotation about the Earth. The phases include; new moon, full moon, third quarter, the first quarter, waxing and waning gibbous, and waxing and waning crescent.
The moon shows identical face on the Earth since its period of revolution and spin is identical. The moon takes approximately 29.5 days to move from one new moon to another which is nearly equivalent to a month. Meaning the moon takes a week to move around its one-quarter.
Half of the sphere of the moon is continually under illumination by the Sun, the illuminated phase is invisible on the Earth since it is away from the Earth. The moon rises with the Sun since it is always in the similar region of the sky as the Sun. The moon shows on the contradictory side of the Sun when in its full phase, and at this point the illuminated phase faces the hemisphere of the Earth that is the nighttime. The moon lying opposite the Sun explains why it always rise twelve hours after the Sun that is to say at night.
The moon and the Earth orbits in different planes with the difference of about 5 degrees. The Sun, the moon, and the Earth will line up in a similar plane when the moon crosses the track of the Earth plane; this refers to an eclipse. Assuming the Sun, the moon, and the planets follow the same path, it can be concluded that even the moon rises from Easterly direction, and sets on 2290445280543000the westerly direction.1433874321147Sunlight

Rhetorical Analysis of a Nail Art Poster
The poster portrays a crystal clear and glamorous image of nail art. The poster is an advertisement of the nail art business that attempts to capture the attention of a potential customer, particularly women. It is through the use of various aspects such as images, words, type of font, and colors that enable the designer of this poster to pass a message. The main objective of this poster is to increase the customer base and hence an increase in sales for the nail art business.
The designer of this beautiful and eye-catching poster is a beauty therapist who has specialized in nail art. The main aim of the poster is to attract women to the nail art business through its fusion of color and beauty of the nails. The designer is well-equipped with nail art techniques, as demonstrated by the systematic coloring and unique drawings in the nails. The drawings on the nails compel women to recognize the beauty related to glamorous nail art, such as the ones portrayed by the poster. The audience of this poster is mainly women, as nail art is considered a feminine feature that enhances the beauty of a woman.
The choice of this poster as a form of communication media is facilitated by its ability to generate immediate visual representation on the minds of the readers. Posters that depict compelling images and text attracts the reader’s attention and ignites the desire to understand the objective of the poster. Second, posters offer prolonged exposure to the readers, and it is because of this reason that the message is passed for as long as the poster is hanging (Jose et al. 67). Third, posters have extensive coverage, and the information it is attempting to relay can as many potential audiences as possible. It is considered that posters positioned around high-traffic points where there is a high possibility of being noticed are the most effective. Finally, posters are relatively affordable to design and install as compared to other forms of communication media. The aspect of affordability makes posters useful for conducting a campaign targeting the members of the public.
The rhetorical purpose of this paper is to analyze and describe the message of the above poster and establish the way it impacts the audience. The analysis focuses on identifying the designer and developing a means through which the message and the audience interact. Therefore, the project involves incorporating the application of rhetorical tenets to examine the argument that the poster’s message is trying to portray (Gries 381). In essence, the rhetorical purpose of this paper is to describe how the message and the drawings of the poster are developed and to consider if the approach employed is effective in passing the intended message.
The creation of this rhetorical analysis project changed my rhetorical approach of using Toulmin analysis to using the rhetorical triangle. The rhetorical triangle is the most effective for conducting a rhetorical analysis because, unlike Toulmin’s analysis; it has only three parts to evaluate and conclude the analysis (Katsoni, V., et al 95). Toulmin analysis makes the process of analysis both tiresome and time-consuming since it has six parts to focus on for making analysis (Ribeiro 98). Additionally, the rhetorical triangle is the most suitable and relevant for analysis posters in terms of image and text.
The nail drawings presented by the designer and the choice of letters used are meant to enhance the effectiveness of the poster. The designer used a bigger font size in writing the name of the business “Nail Art World,” which appears on top of the poster. The designer provides a short description of the business “Glamour Fingertip Leads the Fashion” by the use of smaller fonts. The text of the poster also provides the telephone number and the address of the business. The drawings in the poster portray the fingernails of a woman that are beautifully decorated. The drawings of the fingers are surrounded by colorful flowers whose depiction reflects the drawings on the nails. The use of flowers usually implies beauty and glamorous feeling. The designer is, however, using the flowers to represent the beauty that is evident in his nail art. The blend of colors at the background of the poster is crucial in showing the artistic skills of the designer in blending colors to achieve a lovely artwork on the customer’s nails.
The author’s use of key elements plays a crucial role in furthering the rhetorical purpose of this paper. The use of critical elements such as nail drawings, color, and use of different fonts in describing the text of the poster is considered both attractive and convincing to the reader. The unique choice of words and images is fundamental in developing experience about the impact of nail art on women. Additionally, the designer employs contrasting colors at the background of the poster, possibly to make the text of the poster visible (Gries 381). It is important to note that every aspect of a poster, however small, plays a significant role in passing the message to the intended audience. The image and words depicted by the poster are easy to understand; hence it does not require one to conduct more research to understand the message of the poster.
The decision to develop a rhetorical analysis of the above poster was effective as a way of establishing its effectiveness in attracting the attention of the target audience. The analysis also effective in understanding how different aspects of the poster can compel the audience to like the nail art business. In essence, the analysis was crucial in understanding how the poster impacts the decision of the intended audience. Additionally, the project was beneficial in the exploration of different communication media that can be useful in passing information to a large group of acquisition of the in-depth knowledge o about the significance of posters as a communication medium.
Conclusively, I believe this poster has done well in the advertisement for the nail art business. The ad does well in grabbing the attention of the target audience and giving one the interest of having such nail art, which is the primary goal of the ad. The use of perfectly matching colors in the advertisement demonstrates the designer’s knowledge of different matching colors. The poster’s message that is intended to reach the target audience is easy to understand as it does not require research or in-depth analysis. However, I would advise that the designer should use more bright colors that grab the audience’s attention from far.

This paper analyses Ann Petry’s passage “The Street” and the use of the stylistic devices to describe an urban setting. Ann Petry’s use of imagery, detail, and figurative language helps establish Lutie Johnson’s to the urban setting as someone in search of a place to stay on 116th street. Imagery, detail, and figurative language also describe the state of the town. The discussion below gives and the understanding of the poem and how it helps to establish a town setting.
The passage begins with a description of “cold November wind” responsible for spending most people indoors. The wind rattled the garbage cans and sucked window shades. This initial use of imagery service to establish the setting of the passage of which Lutie Johnson is part of. Also, the mention of theatre throwaways and lodge meetings papers which are predominantly with the urban setting help to establish the setting as an urban centre. The images of these papers help to establish the setting. In the poem the images of the house that Lutie is looking for, “… the original coat of white paint was streaked…” as well establishes the state of the houses at that place. Which would probably mean that it had other tenants, therefore; it’s the current state. The imagery gives the passage a sense of place which is important to Lutie’s relationship with the setting.
Furthermore on in the passage, Petry uses a selection of detail to give it the urban setting. The wind continues to be a force to be reckoned with as it found scrap paper and sent it dancing. Petry describes multiple types of paper from announcements of heavy wax paper. These particular details enhance the urban setting. Petry also takes care to describe the battle between the wind and the pedestrians. The wind lifted dirt into their noses, “wrapped in the newspaper around their feet”. And “…grabbed their hats…” Through the selection of detail, Petry further establishes the urban setting and those in it. The description of the room and the details about it help to establish the setting. The apartment is said to be “three rooms, steam heat, parquet floors, respectable tenants and reasonable.” All these details described apartments for hire which are common in the urban setting. The details serve as a comparison to Lutie Johnson and they help to advance the urban setting.
Through the passage, Petry makes use of figurative language most notably personification. Petry gives wind the ability to assault, fine grab, and pry. Theses human-like qualities transform the “cold November wind” into an antagonist for Lutie and the other pedestrians that deal with it. By giving Lutie an element that a post her. The wind is also given the human attribute of discouraging. It is only humans that can discourage other people. In the passage, “it did everything to discourage people from walking along the street” this statement asserts personification and also solidifies an urban setting as streets are commonly in urban centres. Petry further established duties relating to the urban setting. As Lutie attempted to redesign, the wind made it nearly impossible. Even the simplest of tasks was made difficult. By personifying wind, Petry solidifies Lutie’s relationship to the setting.
In conclusion, through the use of imagery, selection of detail and figurative language, Petry establishes Lutie Johnson’s relationship to the urban setting, that of a pedestrian searching for a place to stay. The three devices help to identify the setting of the passage. They give details which describe actions, events and the setting of an urban centre. Petry succeeds to establish the setting of the passage through imagery, selection of detail, and figurative language.
