Love you to the moon and back

I noticed that the moon can be interpreted in many different ways.The moon can be a measure of distance between two different things.There is a popular quote that goes like "I love you to the moon and back" which is a measure of how much love he or she has for someone or something. I really don't understand that quote because shouldn't love be infinite. In reality the Earth and the moon are 238,900 miles apart.  Over the summer that quote was basically on every girl tank top and tee-shirt.

It's crazy how we all look at the same moon but see different things or how we look at the same moon but yet we are in different places. While I'm looking at the moon in Nevada someone in California or somewhere more farther can be looking at it too. I find that so interesting. Even though there's two complete strangers looking at the moon they have something in common, the moon. We all look at the moon at least every night and don't notice that a friend, boyfriend, girlfriend, sibling etc. that we have yet to meet can be looking at the same moon, if that makes sense. The moon in some ways bring people together.

The moon can also symbolize how we should live our life's; We should shine bright even in the darkness time. It never just stops shinning because it's being consumed by the darkness, the darker it gets the brighter it shines. The moon can be many things and beautiful is one of them.

Full Moon

 I was walking down the street around five o'clock and the moon was already out, the sky was light blue with barely any clouds in sight. The moon looked so faint. I was surprised that the moon was out so early. Later that night I stepped outside again and there were many stars in the sky but their light was so dim that I had to squint my eyes to see them all. I could see more than half the moon but it was so big and bright that when I looked away I could still see it from the corner of my eye. There was a plane below the moon and I was wondering if anyone on that plane was mesmerized by the beauty of the moon as I was.

When I was leaving Walmart I saw that the yellow big moon was almost full and it was just above the mountains. The sky was pink with light blue and some clouds even looked grey. I was looking north (I think) and the sky and clouds were pink and orange and on the opposite side the sky was light blue. Around six o'clock the sky started turning purple and different shades of blue. 

October 8th was the day, the full moon.  The big full moon was bright yellow and was high in the sky. The sky was dark blue and the night was silent. I could hear crickets somewhere near me. I just sat outside  admiring the big yellow moon. I could barely focus on the stars because my eyes were too distracted on the yellow full moon. 

Just my luck...

For my English project I decided to observe the tree outside my house. I started observing on September twenty two. The first couple of days it would be really windy and the leaves would flow with the wind as one. I climbed on top of my trash cans to get a better look at the high branches and leaves. At least every single leaf had turned brown, all rusty and so fragile. The branches on the other hand weren't so fragile, and all the little bugs that used to live on that tree had disappeared. The tree bark had different shades of brown, one part would be light brown and then it would transition to a dull brown and then a very dark brown. The tree trunk had grown so big that it made a crack on the sidewalk and lifted it. Each day more and more leaves and twigs would fall off. The leaves and twigs were one with the wind because when the wind was strong they would follow the same movement and when there was no wind it was so still.

When I would get home from school  I would put my backpack down and go look at the tree and I would notice the ground was filled with  large amounts of twigs like the tree was shedding and I could only see some patches of green grass.  

September 29th was just full of luck for me... I was walking into my parking lot and I noticed something different, the tall tree was missing. I ran to where the tree used to stand and I could not believe it, they cut down the tree. This kind of thing could only happen to me. I was so disappointed. There was a truck in the parking lot where all the leaves and dead branches laid. The tree trunk was cut into about 12 pieces but the base of the tree was still attached to the ground.  

I had to change my subject for my observation. I picked the moon. It was October 1st when I started observing the moon. I went outside and it was so peaceful, I could hear the wind blowing in my ears. It was silent. The moon was almost a semi-circle that night, it was so bright and only a few stars surrounded it. Earlier that night there were big black grayish clouds covering most of the sky and it just made it shine brighter.
