Paper On Landscaping
1. Paper On Landscaping
Gardening and landscaping is a wonderful way to make use of your outdoor space. In order for you
to have a beautiful garden, you are going to have to plan it around the conditions that are in your
area. You can have great looking garden anywhere; you just have to make sure that you work with
what you have. Living in the west or southwest where the air is arid and the climate is dry, will
require the planting of drought tolerant plants that can survive the hot and dry conditions that are
present in these areas of the country. Since these areas are close to the desert, they can get anywhere
from 4 to 16 inches of rain annually. Rain is very inconsistent in this area of the country. Some years
they will get very little and other years twice as ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The early steps toward winterizing includes weeding, mulching and composting the weeds.
Hopefully, the gardener will have time to weed before the weeds develop seeds. If this should not be
the case, compost or dispose of the resultant greenery away from the garden to prevent a bumper
crop of weeds next year. Cover fallow areas of the garden or future garden patches with garden cloth
or black plastic; lay down a layer of mulch, and cover the mulch with plastic. Weight it down well.
The mulch and plastic will kill the weeds in the future gardening area; containing the mulch as the
filling in a plastic sandwich allows the gardener the ability to lift away incompletely rotted material
without excessive handling. This is especially important for individuals with mold allergies. As
autumn approaches and the nights grow longer and colder, assess the plants still growing in the
garden. Salad beds and even tomato plants can be made to grow a little longer if surrounded by
square hay bales topped with a plastic "window". This creates an impromptu cold frame. The hay or
straw provides insulation; the plastic allows sunlight for photosynthesis and solar heating. Autumn
is a good time to plant green manure crops, such as turnips, that can be tilled into the soil in the
spring. It is also a good time to apply slow–release organic fertilizers.

2. Heroin And Other Opiate Abuse
The purpose of this paper is to assess the issues that arise from heroin and other opiate abuse, how
the US government is combating it, and what effects these policies have in Afghanistan, the world's
supplier of opium.
Heroin was invented in the 1895. ("Opium Throughout History") It was a new concoction based on
morphine, similar to the then popular laudanum, and was initially meant to be used as a cheaper
medical substitute at the time. Heroin was never successfully brought into the medical fold, but was
popular as a recreational drug almost immediately. Opiates, in one form or another, have been used
for medical pain relief and recreationally since as early as 3400 BC. ("Opium throughout History")
Throughout the history of opium, control, regulation, trade, and addiction have been struggles for
every society and civilization, starting with the Egyptians, hitting the Romans, the Chinese, and the
Portuguese on the way, and continues to be a struggle in every modern society in the world. ("World
Drug Report 2010")
Throughout history the popularity of heroin has waxed and waned. Sometimes heroin was
practically a non–issue, other times, heroin has been one of the biggest struggles a society has faced.
America today struggles with heroin like no other time in its history, in part because of the effects of
addiction at home, and in part because of the significant profits it allows its handlers both at home
and overseas.

own.
Symbolic Interactionism
Symbolic interactionism is associated with two main theorists, one of these is George Mead and
another is Charles Cooley (1864 – 1929). Cooley is known for the 'looking glass self' concept where
people define themselves and others by the way that other people judge through real and imagined
views. Whilst George Mead was a philosopher he is regarded as a sociologist since he influenced
many of the best sociologists. He was very keen to ensure that theories would be used to solve real–
life problems. Mead used the term social behaviourism to contrast his approach from more orthodox
sociology.
G H Mead (1863 – 1931) was very interested in how human beings react to different stimuli and he
compared this with the ways in which he assumed animals would react. He gave the example that if
dogs snarl then we can predict the ways in which other dogs will react. In ordinary life we can see
that different cultures will have different conventions so that in some societies leaving an empty
plate would be a sign of approval, whereas in other countries it would not be. Conventions such as

School uniforms can be a way of getting students to identify with their school. There may also be
restrictions on what pupils may or may not do whilst they are in school uniform. For example they
may not be allowed to smoke, they may be expected to queue patiently waiting for a bus or train.
They may, not beallowed to eat in the classroom etc. They would also be expected to behave well in
any local shops or takeaways or sports facilities whilst wearing uniform. Universities will not have a
uniform but may have ties or scarves to show either the University or hall of residence. The phrase

4. A Research Study On The School Fire Occurred On Public Land
Introduction The first question to be addressed in this study is, will there be varying tree seedling
species diversity in relation to varying levels of burn severity? My hypothesis for this question is
that we will see the highest tree species diversity where we see a moderate level of burn severity.
The second question of the study asks, did the presence of salvage logging lead to a difference in the
tree seedling densities as compared to unlogged sites? My hypothesis for this question is that there
will be a greater density of tree species in the salvage logged site than the unlogged site.
Methods
The School Fire occurred on public land in Washington's Umatilla National Forest in August, 2005.
It burned approximately 21,000 ha of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Once sites were selected, site specific measurements were then recorded including the elevation
(m), percent slope of transects, aspect (in magnetic degrees), and the latitude and longitude, using a
GPS for accuracy. Sampling on logged sites was done using 30 m belt transects extending out at
varying widths depending on stand density. At low seedling stand densities belts were extended out
to 6 m (3 m on each side of line), while at high seedling densities belt widths measured 2 m (1 m
each side of line). On unlogged sites belt transects also varied with densities. On sample sites that
were unburned with low densities (site code ULU), belt lengths measured 10 m and widths of either
2 m or 1 m. Sites with high severity and high densities (HHU) were measured with either 15m or 10
m belt lengths with 2 m belt widths. Once belt transect lengths and belt widths were established,
measurements were recorded. Since this paper focuses on tree seedling and saplings, methods of
larger tree measurements and understory canopy cover measurements will not be discussed. Tree
seedlings and saplings were recorded only if they fell within the area encompassed by the belt
transect length and width. If they did, the four–letter species code was recorded per individual
seedling (ex: PIPO for ponderosa pine), its status (1 if living, 0 if dead), height (cm) from ground
level, and the number of internodes to determine approximate

Likewise, my mother has played a key role in shaping me into who I am. She have helped me grow

6. The Importance Of Plants In Human Life
Plants are important life forms belonging to the taxonomic kingdom Plantae and are classified
further by the hierarchical system to group similar plants together. Taxonomy is described as "the
method by which scientists, conservationists, and naturalists classify and organize the vast diversity
of living things on this planet in an effort to understand the evolutionary relationships between
them" (Fenneman, 2017). How a plant is classified can be a clue to the uses for that plant in regards
to human life. Historically, plants have played a vast role in the everyday lives of humans.
Indigenous peoples have used over a thousand different plants for food, medicine, materials, and in
cultural rituals and mythology (Szczawinski and Turner, 1978–80). People mainly consumed root
vegetables and green vegetables. Fruits, nuts, seeds, berries, and mushrooms were also traditionally
used as a source of food. Plants also contributed in the development of many different medicines
throughout history. Plant parts were often combined with herbs to create cures for many ailments.
Herbal medicines were sometimes associated with ritual and in many cultures herbal curing and
ritual curing were often performed together (Szczawinski and Turner, 1978–80). Plants have played
a very important role in helping to preserve the human race, from building our homes to supplying
us with the most essential gas we breathe.
Besides supplying humans with the oxygen necessary for respiration,

based on what they are watered with. By watering five different plants with five different liquids
and measuring them daily we will prove or disprove the hypothesis.
Problem of the Project Different liquids contain different additives and nutrients that could
potentially affect the growth of a plant. This project will reveal how different liquids affect the
growth of plants. Various research has been done that will support the problem of what liquid can

The water container had the most growth and produced two plants – one on day 7 and one on day 8
which indicated both seeds had germinated. Each plant produced one leaf (both on day 10). The
leaves were light green in color and had a firm texture.
The milk container was the only other container that had any growth at all. On day 11, one sprout
appeared and curled up from the soil; however, the stem never emerged and by day 13, it had died.
No other pot produced a plant.
Processed Data:
Data Analysis:
Given the information, the only liquid good for the bean seeds was the water. Plant growth – day 11
The major result of this experiment was that water was the only liquid that would produce a bean
plant. Milk did germinate a seed, but was unable to support the growth of the plant. No other liquids
used in the experiment produced a bean sprout.

9. Figurative Language In The House Of The Scorpion
The Mood of the Reader. The famous philosopher Plato once said, "You can discover more about a
person with an hour of play than in a year of conversation." But dialogue and figurative language
can help the reader understand people, and their surroundings. An hour of play can't tell their
deepest secrets and their emotions to bring your fate's together. In The House of the Scorpion by
Nancy Farmer, the dialogue of her characters and the descriptive language she uses helps show the
mood and helps inference more about the novel. Nancy Farmer creates fascinating dialogue to
introduce the mood and the characters. In the book the author uses a lot of dialogue to move the
events along and introduce feelings to the reader. For instance, when Matt, the main character, and
Matt's friend, see a man lying on the ground and say to each other, "'Can't we–can't we help him?'
faltered Matt. 'It's too late for that poor soul,' grunted the bodyguard. 'What about the doctor?'" This
quote indicates how kind of a heart Matt has. It introduces guilt to the reader of the man lying there
and a little pleasure of knowing that the main character isn't soulless. It helps add feelings and depth
of the understanding of the reader when reading this dialogue. Secondly, when Celia, Matt's
guardian is leaving for work, says,"'What's this?' the woman said. 'You're a big boy now, almost six.
You know I have to work.'... 'Take me with you, begged Matt, grabbing her shirt and wadding it up
with his hands.'

10. Poppy Flower In The Great Gatsby
The delicate beauty of a flower has been recognized by every generation, starting at even the
beginning of time and prevailing during even the grimmest of situations. In 1920, two years after the
end of WWI, a now hailed woman by the name of Moina Michael began a tradition that would last
for years to come. She, like so many others, had been deeply affected by the war and, inspired by
the poem In Flanders Fields, proposed presenting the poppy flower as a symbol of remembrance of
those who had given their lives to the war. This small proposal led to the poppy flower being worn
every Armistice day. It became a tribute to those who were strong enough to fight and die for their
country, and those who fought to right the flaws and weaknesses of ... Show more content on

Wilson is one of the smallest yet most important people in all of The Great Gatsby. He is claimed by
his wife, Myrtle, to be a "'dirty little coward,'" which is most likely one of the reasons she leaves
him in the dust behind her (137). This statement establishes the fact that Wilson has a weakness of
living almost in fear. However, this fear backfires when Wilson finds a beautiful, silver dog collar.
After finding it, he jumps to the conclusion that it was a gift to his wife from a lover. Due to this
realization, he locks Myrtle in her room and plans to move West, proving that he had more strength
than she had anticipated. However, he does not have the emotional strength to follow through with
it, and in a fit of hysteria, Myrtle runs into the road and is instantly killed after being run over by a
car. He was so fearful of her that he did not stop her, and so ignorant that he did not realize his
situation until death came knocking at his door. As it is gracefully put by Tom,"He's so dumb he
doesn't know he's alive"(26). After Myrtle's death, something changes inside of him, something
snaps, and it is best explained through the words of one of Wilson's neighbors, Michaelis: "He was
his wife's man, not his own"(137). After placing so much into Myrtle and allowing himself to be
completely taken over by her, her death caused him to lose a sense of identity

11. Break Of Day In The Trenches By Isaac Rosenberg
"Break of Day in the Trenches" is by one of the First World War's leading war poets, Isaac
Rosenberg. Many often remember Rosenberg as a Jewish–English poet, or a poet of war, but there is
more to his writing than what meets the eye. Rosenberg died at the age of twenty–eight in World
War I on April 1, 1918. Critics often say that Isaac was an impressive young poet and that his future
was bright in the poetry world. It can be seen throughout his poems that Isaac incorporates a large
amount of symbolism and feeling into his pieces.
A primary focus for Rosenberg's poems is centered around the hardship and struggle in war. For
example, a few of his most famous poems including "Dead Man's Dump," "On Receiving News of
the War," "Soldier: Twentieth Century" and "Break of Day in the Trenches" all incorporate the
mentality of a soldier facing battle. It is easy for an individual to talk about the thought of war and
the struggle that a soldier may face. Furthermore, Rosenberg wrote from his experience as a young
man going through such a horrific event, which allowed his readers to see what he saw, feel what he
felt, and undergo what he went through. He mastered this art form in the early years of his life and
shared his work with the world. In many cases, he describes an object or occurrence and lets the
description do most of the work. Instead of using the rhyming schemes or more structural outlines
of poetry, Isaac approaches more of a free verse technique of writing in in his work. For example, in
"Break of Day in the Trenches,"
The darkness crumbles away.
It is the same old druid Time as ever,
Only a live thing leaps my hand,
A queer sardonic rat,
As I pull the parapet's poppy
To stick behind my ear.
Droll rat, they would shoot you if they knew Your cosmopolitan sympathies. (Rosenberg, Isaac.
"Break of Day in the Trenches."Poetry Foundation. Poetry Foundation, n.d. Web. 24 May 2017.)
The introduction portion of this poem foreshadows a theme for the reader such that Rosenberg does
not use an "ABC" format, instead he employs a descriptive structure technique. In this particular
poem the rat that will cross No Man's Land and make friends with the enemy, the Germans.

14. The Seed Is Surrounded By An Encasing
Background Research
The seed is surrounded by an encasing that protects the internal embryo from the external elements
such as parasites and the weather while the seed is in the resting stage (also known as
dormancy).The dormancy stage occurs before germination. Finally, germination occurs when the
embryo resumes growth by bursting through the encasing. Germination can only occur under
specific conditions involving sunlight, water, oxygen and the right temperature. The length of
germination varies depending on the seed and species. However, the process can be sped up or
slowed down through various methods since germination occurs only with the addition of water or
else the plant will die.
While the plants need the factors listed above in order to germinate, the plants and seeds also need a
few other resources in order to continue growth. The plant will continue to need sunlight and water
for photosynthesis (the method plants use to create food and energy). Minerals are also needed for
the growth of development of the plant as they contain the right nutrients for the specific plant.
Although household bleach –– including Clorox brand bleach –– works well for many cleaning
tasks. The toxicity of bleach is such that it is often used as a disinfectant, and microorganisms have
not developed resistance. It can be found it practically every home due to this reason. However,

15. Marxism In The Golden Poppy
John Griffith Chaney, best known by his pen name Jack London was an American writer; he was
born in San Francisco, California on January 12th, 1876, and died in Glen Ellen, California on
November 22nd, 1916. London had a difficult childhood, regarding London's writing style,
oxfordbibliographies.com, (2012) mentions: "Perhaps in part because of the psychological dualities
of his childhood, London frequently attempted to conjoin opposites in his work, such as socialism
and individualism, wanderlust and love of home, travel overseas and California ranching, Friedrich
Nietzsche versus Karl Marx or Charles Darwin, racism versus brotherhood".

This approach is concerned about the social content of the literary work, consequently, the idea is to
analyze literature from the implications and the consequences that a capitalist system has on a
specific society. As cliffsnotes.com, (n.d) indicates: "this theoretical approach asks us to consider
how a literary work reflects the socioeconomic conditions of the time in which it was written".
From the Marxist approach, the story the golden poppy shows a society full of differences and
inequalities. In one side, there is a wealthy lady who has a stunning poppy field full of beautiful
yellow flowers, and on the other hand, there are the poor people of the town that need to take and
sell the flowers in order to live. Based on this, the story has a class struggle, high class contrasted
with low class, besides of having the role of the powerful person, in this case, the lady owner of the
poppy field.
To analyze this approach is vital to take into account the concept of capitalism, this is a system in
which the main and the only objective is to profit. In capitalism the power and the decision making
are based on the ones who own the factors of production, so it depends on what they need or what
they want to make changes; changes that are going to bring benefits to

There are manufactured alkaloid derivatives that include dihydromorphine, dihydrocodeine and
heroin. The alkaloids can be of two different types. One type acts on the nervous system and are
addictive to the human body. The other form is not addicting and instead relax muscle groups.
Papaver Somniferum has been used since Greek times to relieve suffering and euphoria. Records
indicate that the opium poppy has been used since the time of Mesopotamia (5000 to 4000 BC). The
records refer to the poppy and its use as opiates as medical tablets. "Homer's writings indicate Greek
usage of the substance at least by 90OBC: Hippocrates made extensive use of medicinal herbs
including opium" (see Britannica Online).
It is believed that the Romans probably learned of opium in the Mediterranean. Opium spread to
places all over the world. In China opium was reported as a problem during the seventeenth century.
Between World War I and H the cultivation of opium grew in Central America in the mountains.
Now the major producers and exporters of opium are Turkey and India (Britannica Online).
Opium was definitely used in more recent times as well. Before the nineteenth century there were
few painkillers available. There were few alternatives to using opiates to end suffering for dying
people. Long ago opium was not considered harmful and was available to everyone. Doctors
advised taking opiates to relieve a number of symptoms

Society today has been clouded and somewhat overtaken by social drugs. Wherever you may look, a
drug is being used, whether it is more commonly a cigarette being smoked on the street, or the
covert teens smoking marijuana in secluded areas. In any case, there is not one person who can say
drug use is not prevalent, since society has made it clear through news, music and everyday life.

Heroin, a white powder, was created in 1874, and was sold as a safe substitute for morphine.
However, it was discovered that heroin produced a quick dependency in people. Heroin and other
opiates were made illegal in 1920 as part of the Dangerous Drugs Act. Still today, however, Heroin
is illegally manufactured and imported, largely from the Indian sub–continent.
As well as killing pain, moderate doses of pure opioids produce a range of mild effects. They
depress the activity of the nervous system, including such reflexes as coughing, breathing and heart
rate. They also cause widening of the blood vessels, which gives a feeling of warmth and reduces
bowel activity, which causes constipation.
Heroin itself can be taken in three ways, injecting a solution of heroin and water into your vein,
snorting it, or inhaling it. A person will receive maximum effects if they inject it. Basically heroin
makes people feel as if they are in a state of Euphoria for a small amount of time, and cause people
to be drowsy warm and content, which kind of detaches you from pain.
After Heroin is injected or inhaled, it crosses the blood brain barrier, and once in the brain, it is
converted to morphine and will bind with opioid receptors. This transferring is what gives the user
their rush, and the more of the drug, the faster it binds and the stronger the rush. Heroin

God has bifurcated sex into male and female whereas man has named in the sex and the fair sex or
the superior and the inferior or the first and the second sex. The gender inequality has created
unlawful male authority over women. The chief tasks of women were childbearing, rearing, and to
satiate every desire of their husbands. This confinement of women made them mere servants of the
superior sex. Education is one big question that haunts Amitav Ghosh. According to Amitav Ghosh
education is memorization of facts at one level. It is a tool to get a livelihood. It sharpens human
sensitivities. It kindles social consciousness in children. Education uplifts living standards of Indian
masses and save them from nightmarish depths of poverty, ignorance and disease. Thus we find that
through the women characters of his novel Sea of Poppies Ghosh wants to focuses on the evils of

21. Summary OfThe Monkey's Paw, And The House Of The Scorpion
The writer, Erik Pevernagie, once said, "When ideas evaporate, when shapes fade and forms lose
their integrity, our imagination can create an outlandish setting and convert everything into a hazy,
misty Turner landscape. ("Back garden of a dream")".
Many writers often use specific words and details to help bring the reader "into" the story. By using
these words the writer helps develop a setting, and it brings the reader into, and be able to
experience it as if they were there. In the story, "The Monkey's Paw" by W.W Jacobs, and the novel,
The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer, the author uses descriptive adjectives to help develop
the setting. To start off, the author uses descriptive adjectives in "The Monkey's Paw," to develop
setting in the story. This helps the reader see and feel the setting as if they were really there. In
addition, the quote, "Without, the night was cold and wet, but in the small Laburnum Villa the blinds
were drawn and the fire burned brightly," helps to achieve a better setting. The quote helps to set the
stage of the story, while also bringing a warm, and inviting kind of mood. Saying that the fire
burned brightly brings a comforting feeling to the reader like they are with the character's in the
story. To follow that, another example of descriptive adjectives would be, "A cold wind rushed up

Mendelian Inheritance in Brassica Rapa Gregor Mendel, also known as the "father of modern
genetics," revolutionized the world 's understanding of the inheritance of traits when he
experimented with various pea plants over multiple generations. In performing this experiment, he
discovered the law of independent assortment and law of segregation. The Law of independent
assortment states that genes located on separate chromosomes segregate independently of each
other. The law of segregation states that two alleles segregate at different gametes so that each
gamete receives only one allele. Brassica Rapa plants were developed by Dr. Paul Williams and a

26. Benefits Of Soybean Breeding Programs Essay
Exotic soybean germplasm that has the potential to significantly increase seed yield has been
evaluated in several previous studies. Three high yielding germplasm lines that contain exotic
ancestry have been released by USDA–ARS and the Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station. The
released lines LG00–3372 from the cross PI 561319A × PI 574477 (Nelson and Johnson 2011a),
LG04–6000 from the cross PI 436682 × Lawrence (Nelson and Johnson 2012), and LG06–5798
from LG00–3372 x LD00–3309 (Nelson et al. 2013) yielded significantly (P=0.05) more than the
highest yielding check cultivars in field tests. The releases of these germplasm lines provide
evidence that exotic germplasm can be used as a parent for soybean breeding programs to provide
new genetic diversity as well as to improve seed yield of US soybean cultivars.
Advances in biotechnology and statistical programs have made it more efficient to map the locations
of genes and QTL. However, complex quantitative traits including seed yield are often difficult to
identify and their use in soybean breeding programs can be complicated by epistasis, QTL by
genetic background interactions, and QTL by environment interactions (Bernardo 2008; Yang et al.
2008). Strong interactions between QTL as well as between QTL and environments for seed yield
have been reported in soybean (Kim et al. 2012b; Lark et al. 1995). The objectives of this study

31. An Analysis Of Seamus Heaney's 'Mid-Term Break'
For most students, a break in school signifies the end of classes for the term and a well–deserved
vacation after a week of intense finals. For others, it is an opportunity to return home to the comfort
of family and friends. Yet other students take advantage of the opportunity to earn some money.
However, it can also be a time of change. Seamus Heaney's "Mid–Term Break" brilliantly depicts
the feeling of loss by using irony, imagery, time and symbolism to detail the timing of events when a
tragedy occurs in his family.
Heaney first uses irony in the title giving readers the sense that the poem will be about the exciting
and fun times of a school break. The word "mid–term" references a point in time as Heaney begins
to describe the time line of events of a student when a personal tragedy occurs back home. Another
reference to time is the word "break" used here to signify that something has come to an end.
Heaney writes the poem in a chronological order to show how he dealt with the emotional aspect of
death as a student. The poem begins with "I sat all morning in the college sick bay" (l. 1) to
establish the starting time and provides the approximate age (time) of the student. The use of the
word "sick" is a clue that the "break" is not a typical ending to the school term. When someone goes
to the nurse's office during school, it is usually because they are sick. Heaney first uses symbolism
with the careful choice of the words "Counting bells knelling classes to

32. Analysis Of The House Of The Scorpion
In the story, "The House of the Scorpion" were so many amazing cliff hangers. That made you want
to read more and more. The overall main character was a boy named Matt. When being introduced
to the story Matt was six years of age. He lived in a small house out in the middle of a poppy field,
In a country called Opium. But there's a catch, Matt isnt a real boy. He's a clone and was created in a
lab and given birth by a cow. Throughout his life he wasn't treated very nice for being a clone.
Eventually things start to look up for him and end's up being the new leader of Opium. Throughout
book there was always one character that stood out more than the others. He was known as El
Patron he is the leader of the country Opium. Also the creator of Matt. Without El Patron Matt
wouldn't have been created since Matt is El Patron's clone. But there was more to El Patron he had
quite an interesting personality. He was selfish, mean, and very greedy. He wanted many things and
wasn't happy with the one life he's given in the story "The House of the Scorpion" it states, "I gave
you these things, Mi Vida. You...Owe...me," (Farmer 239). This shows his selfishness and him being
greedy because he can't be content with one life. So he has to created human like clones to then kill

34. Suffering In The Poems Of Wilfred Owen And Jane Weir
Both poems display suffering in similar ways; Both poems demonstrate the effects of war. Wilfred
Owen and Jane Weir are angry and frustrated about what has happened during and after the war.
Questions are a most common feature of both poems, they are designed to make the reader think.
Both writers make use of literary techniques to draw attention to especially important parts of the
poems. Even though they displayed suffering in similar ways they still used their own ideas and
approaches; Owen writes from the point of view of someone who was involved in the war. Weir
writes about mainly one soldier affected by the war.
Owen had joined the army in 1915 yet was hospitalized in May 1917 experiencing shell shock.
Owen, in the long run, came back to the war, however, was tragically killed days before the war
finished. He is currently thought of as one of Britain's most noteworthy war poets. `Exposure' gives
a direct image of life in the trenches during WW1. By the winter of 1917, the two sides had huge
losses of soldiers and extremely frosty climate. It was said to be the coldest winter in living
memory. Many troopes created trench foot, an infection caused by feet being wet and frosty and in
boots for days on end. The image Owen created through descriptive words in the readers minds
conflicted with the scenes displayed by the British press.

Ernest Hemmingway and Amitav Ghosh, both having completely different writing styles and ideas,
seem to have an underlying similarity in how they view leadership and heroism. The Old Man and
the Sea by Ernest Hemmingway and Sea of Poppies by Amitav Ghosh both show internal battles
and undeniable fate within characters throughout each novel. In The Old Man and the Sea
Hemmingway uses Santiago, the old Cuban fisherman, to represent internal transformation, renewed
life, triumph, and defeat. Ghosh also represents similar struggles through one of the most prominent
characters, Deeti. Hemmingway and Ghosh seek to first surpass and overcome internal struggle,
secondly show leadership through the toughest situations, and lastly the realization of life itself.

through a journey of tranquility and distress making each character the leaders and heroes that we

British soldiers would hide the silver in their houses to prove them culprits and make them convicts
to be transported beyond the seas as indentured servants. In addition, their refusal to oblige leads to
forfeiture of their properties. The novel provides a vivid picture of the exploited farming class. Deeti

37. Examples Of Figurative Language In The House Of Scorpion
The famous philosopher Plato once said, "You can discover more about a person with an hour of
play than in a year of conversation." But dialogue and figurative language can help the reader
understand people, and their surroundings. An hour of play can't share their deepest secrets and their
emotions to bring your fate's together. In The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer, the dialogue
of her characters and the descriptive language she uses helps show the mood and helps inference
more about the book. Nancy Farmer creates fascinating dialogue to introduce the mood and the
characters. In the book the author uses a lot of dialogue to move the story along and introduce
feelings to the reader. An example when Matt, the main character, and Matt's friend, see a man lying
on the ground and say to each other, "'Can't we–can't we help him?' faltered Matt. 'It's too late for
that poor soul,' grunted the bodyguard. 'What about the doctor?'" This quote indicates how kind of a
heart Matt has. It introduces guilt for the reader of the man lying there and a little pleasure of
knowing that the main character isn't soulless. It helps add feelings and depth of the understanding
of the reader when reading this dialogue. Another example is when Celia, Matt's guardian is leaving
for work, says,"''What's this?' the woman said.'You're a big boy now, almost six. You know I have to
work.'... 'Take me with you, begged Matt, grabbing her shirt and wadding it up with his hands.' 'Stop
that.'" When the reader is reading the quote they feel sympathy for Matt and a bit upset with Celia
for being so strict for not taking him and being so harsh. Finally, when Matt is being hunted down,
his friend María is helping him, they say, "'What am I supposed to do?' Matt said. He felt drained of
willpower. 'Stay here. I'll go throw the hysterical fit everyone's expecting. When it gets dark, I'll
come back for you.'" This quote helps bring more pleased emotions to the reader about María and
feel bad for Matt because he's in such a situation and María right now the only who can think
straight. These quotes show the mood of the story at different parts and help build affection to some
characters. While dialogue helps the reader build emotions for the

39. The Size Of A Plant Versus The Depth
Title:The size of a plant versus the depth
Research Question:Does the size of common garden seeds affect the relation of their ideal burial
depths?
On my experiment I will planted different types of garden seeds ( which are different sizes ) at
different depths, and with this in mind I will determine how the grow of each seed is affected.
Background Information:
We all consider the amount of sun our plants need to grow healthy. We care about the amount of
water we put to our plants. We always have those subjects in mind but we sometimes forget that
there are other factors to help a plant grow at their fullest. For example, the depth can influence the
plant 's growth ,but because of the different sizes of seeds it's difficult to determine how deep each
seed needs to be planted.
To further understand the relationship between the size of the seed and its proper planting depth you
would have to fully comprehend the term of seed germination process. In short terms seed
germination is the process in which the seed starts developing into what would be a plant .The
process starts off when the the seed starts adapting to its location, which would allow it to start
growing. Later, if the seed is well adapted its hard outer covering or seed coat will break. When
water has been added to the soil and reaches the seed then the seed observes the water, which is
known as imbibition. The water provides needed proteins to the seed allowing it to further continue
its growing process.

40. Descriptive Adjectives In The Monkey's Paw And The House...
"Descriptive Adjectives in "The Monkey's Paw," and The House of the Scorpion."
The author, Erik Pevernagie, once said, "When ideas evaporate, when shapes fade and forms lose
their integrity, our imagination can create an outlandish setting and convert everything into a hazy,
misty Turner landscape. ("Back garden of a dream")".
Many writers often use specific words and details to help bring the reader "into" the story. By using
these words the writer helps develop a setting, and it brings the reader into, and be able to
experience it as if they were there. In the story "The Monkey's Paw" by W.W Jacobs, and the novel,
The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer, the author uses descriptive adjectives to help develop
the setting. First, the author uses descriptive adjectives in "The Monkey's Paw," to develop setting in
the story. This helps the reader see and feel the setting as if they were really there. In addition, the
quote, "Without, the night was cold and wet, but in the small Laburnum Villa the blinds were drawn
and the fire burned brightly." The quote helps to set the stage of the story, while also bringing a
warm, and inviting kind of mood. Saying that the fire burned brightly brings a comforting feeling to
the reader like they are with the characters in the story. Next, another example of Descriptive
adjectives would be, "A cold wind rushed up the staircase, and a long loud wail of disappointment
and misery from his wife gave him the courage to run down to her side, and then to the gate beyond.
The streetlamp flickering opposite shone on a quiet and deserted road." This quote brings an
unsettling but relieved state of mind. The father just wished away his undead son, and the tension in
the story is released. Saying the street lamp was flickering on a quiet and deserted road brings the
reader into the story as if they were staring off into the street with the characters. Lastly, descriptive

figure of the old woman in the window. The candle–end, which had burned below the rim of the
china candlestick, was throwing pulsating shadows on the ceiling and walls, until, with a flicker

41. Plants Are An Important Part Of The Ecosystem
Plants are an important part of the ecosystem. They provide most of the oxygen on Earth and are
part of the food chain for animals on land and sea (Miller & Levine, 2006). Plants are unique in
their manner of reproduction. Some plants do not produce seeds. They reproduce asexually by
vegetative reproduction, producing offspring that are identical to the parent plant (Miller & Levine,
2006, p. 622). Other plants produce seeds and depend on the seed's survival to reproduce. The seed's
survival is dependent on several environmental factors, such as where the seed grows, presence of
birds or other animals that eat the seeds, the temperature, moisture, and nutrient levels of the
environment (Quinn, 2005). For a seed to grow and mature ... Show more content on

The environmental factor tested in this experiment was the addition of fertilizer versus just water
giving water alone. It was hypothesized that if seeds were given fertilizer then they would germinate
faster and their stems and roots would grow longer than the seeds that were given water only.
Procedure: Materials and Methods
Materials Pinto beans (x10) Petri dishes (x2) Water Sharpie
Fertilizer (liquid) Paper towels Ruler
Methods
1. Divide the beans into two groups, with five in each group.
2. Take a paper towel and place it inside the petri dish.
3. Wet the paper towel with water, making sure to add enough water to wet the towel but not so
much that water is standing in the petri dish.
4. Place five bean seeds on the damp paper towel apart from one another. If there are edges of the
paper towel hanging over the side of the dish, these can be folded over to cover the beans.
5. Label the bottom of the petri dish "water only." This is considered the control group since they are
receiving the basic requirements for plant growth. Note: it is best to label the bottom of the dish in
case the lid is removed and is placed on the wrong dish.
6. For the second dish, repeat steps 1–3, adding 2 drops of fertilizer to each seed before covering it
with the paper towel.
7. Label the bottom of the petri dish "fertilizer." This set is considered the experimental group since
they will be receiving a treatment in addition to receiving water. Note: it is best to

42. The Effect Of Surface Residues On Weeds
Crop residue may be kept in the field in both CT and NT systems (CT+Res and NT+Res,
respectively). In CT+Res the residue is incorporated into the soil, with the depth of mixing
dependent upon type of tillage. Although incorporated residue may affect weeds via altered nutrient
dynamics, the effects will be highly dependent on the type of tillage used, the carbon to nitrogen
ratio of the residue, the type of soil, and the environment – it will therefore be difficult to extract
useful generalities (Liebman and Mohler, 2001, p. 236). Consequently, in this review we focus on
the effects of surface residues on weeds.

As such, decreased weed seed germination due to insufficient light–availability is likely not a major
advantage of residue retention.
Surface residue decreases the daily maximum soil temperature but has little effect on the daily
minimum (Teasdale and Mohler, 1993) resulting in two changes: cooler average soil temperatures
and less drastic fluctuations. Most agronomic crops and many weeds require soil temperatures
above a certain threshold in order to germinate – the lower soil temperatures under surface residue
would therefore delay germination of both. This delayed germination and resulting shorter growing
season of the crop can reduce yield; as such it is important to find the amount of residue which
optimizes yield rather than weed control (Wicks et al., 1994). In addition to later germination, some
weed species' germination is enhanced by larger temperature fluctuations (Liebman and Mohler,
2001, p. 239); the buffered soil temperature could therefore reduce germination rates.
Surface residue will conserve soil moisture – how this affects germination rates will depend on the
environment. In water–limited environments, residue may promote germination while in wetter
conditions it may have little effect. This is exemplified by a study done in Zimbabwe, where residue
was more effective in suppressing weeds in wetter sites (Ngwira et al., 2014).
