1. LOST HORIZON
James Hilton created Lost Horizon as an ideal society as an escape from the reality of the outside world. He created many diverse characters with different opinions and beliefs. Even some personalities went to the extreme. Mallinson was immature and impatient, while Conway was the total opposite. Even though Barnard was thief, he was a fun loving type of man while Ms. Brinklow was very stiff and not very personable. Although, Barnard, Ms. Brinklow and Conway had dissimilar perspectives of Shangri-La; they overall enjoyed it. .
Barnard worked in the banking industry. He was caught stealing money out of accounts and was going to be charged for his crime. The flight he took to Shangri-La hid him and kept him from danger. He could get away "scot-free" and never have to worry about anything ever again. It was a safe haven for him. He found many things to do during his stay at Shangri-La. Barnard thought about how to make money and a faster production rate of gold was the answer. He said he was thinking about how to produce more gold for the village. Barnard also enjoyed the village and their philosophy, but what he mostly enjoyed were the village's women! Barnard unquestionably appreciated Shangri-La because Shangri-La hid him away from the real world. While Barnard appreciated the village, Ms. Brinklow felt Shangri-La gave her a purpose. .
Ms. Brinklow was a missionary. When she came over to Shangri-La she felt as if she were needed. She also enjoyed the peace and tranquility she felt for the village. Although, she did not agree with their philosophy and felt she needed to convert them. Chang explained to everyone what their philosophy is "I should say our general belief was in moderation. We preach to virtue itself Our people are moderately honest, moderately chaste, and some what more than moderately happy." Chang had conversations with Ms. Brinklow explaining the religion. Ms. Brinklow stayed in Shangri-La because she felt at peace with and herself and with others.
On the eve of World War II, James Hilton imagined such a place in his best-selling novel, Lost Horizon. ... A theme found in Lost Horizon is the desire to leave and apparent utopia in favor of a former home, however flawed. ... Does Lost Horizon's Shangri-la embody what you believe is a utopia? ...

According to science and environment reporter, Mark Kinver, the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig resulted in 17 workers being injured and 11 deaths. ... That is why many people lost their jobs. ... Almost half of the dolphins that were studied preceding the Deepwater Horizon oil spill were extremely ill and 17 percent of the dolphins were not expected to live. ... About 48,000 workers were involved in cleaning up the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and it is very possible that all of these workers were exposed to Corexit via inhalation. ... They not only lost a large oil rig, Deepwater H...
The black hole's surface is known as the event horizon. ... A rotating black hole has an interesting feature, called a Cauchy horizon, contained in its interior. ... This breakdown of predictability has led physicists to hypothesize that a singularity should form at the Cauchy horizon, forcing the evolution of the interior to stop at the Cauchy horizon, rendering the idea of a region after it meaningless. ... It was shown in the spherical model that the Cauchy horizon does develop a scalar curvature singularity. It was also found that the mass of the black hole measured near the...

The event horizon is simply a surface of no return. Everything that falls through it is irretrievably lost from our universe. ... "Its energy will never be seen by distant observers; it will be adverted: through the horizon and disappear," (Kaufmann 8). ... In a black hole, there is no outward pressure; gravity is unchecked, and the star collapses nearly to mathematical point inside a surface of no return known as the event horizon. ... Objects are pulled toward the event horizon at a correspondingly high speed; and, en route, they may collide and shatter. ...
Once she crosses over to the other side she finds self-actualization, true love, her voice and the horizon that she has always been looking for. ... He is offering her passage to the far off horizon that she so deeply wants, or so she thinks. ... " Jody spoke about the future and traveling, which leads Janie to believe that she would reach the far horizon. ... Janie lost her voice as an individual during her and Jody's marriage. ...
