Light often has positive connotations that include purity and warmth. Puritan society would welcome light as a symbol of the former‚ but warmth is not reminiscent of the strict religion. Puritans valued simplicity and hard work‚ but experiencing warmth as an emotion stemming from joy and laughter was unacceptable. With their strict rules‚ anyone who sinned was persecuted.

Linkin Park’s influence on my life has been nothing short of amazing. When I listen to their music I feel like I couldn’t possibly be any happier.

In Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness‚ the juxtaposition of light and dark -- in addition to an abundance of imagery-- serves as a vehicle to understanding Conrad’s tainted view of humanity as deeply flawed. There are reoccurring light and dark images which symbolize the good and evil in mankind. Light represents both goodness and civilized Europe.

The Northern lights‚ or Aurora Borealis‚ are one of the world’s most amazing phenomenons. The lights are the result of collisions between gaseous particles in Earth’s atmosphere with charged particles from the sun. Free electrons and protons are thrown from the sun’s atmosphere by the rotation of the sun. The charged particles are are largely deflected by the earth’s magnetic field‚ but at the north and south poles‚ the magnetic field is weaker‚ allowing some charged particles to collide with gas
