Here is a bio poem about Emily Dickinson:
I am Emily Dickinson
I'm from homemade bread, fresh berries, homemade jam
I'm from my writing desk, my garden, my favorite books
I'm from the quiet streets of Amherst, spreading trees
I'm from Father, Mother, sister Lavinia, brother Austin
I'm from "Come live with me and be my love", "Because I could not stop for Death"
I wonder about nature, life after death
I hear birds singing, leaves rustling
I see flowers blooming, the changing seasons
I want to understand God, eternity
I am afraid of being forgotten
I pretend that I'm just like everyone else

The Lottery Literary Analysis
The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green (Jackson). In this first sentence of the The Lottery Shirley Jackson establishes a pleasant illusion, creating a sense of serenity. Jackson proceeds to mention that children begin to gather in the village, frolicing and conversing about school. The initial scene and satirically labeled title, The Lottery, provide a somewhat satisfying first impression to the reader. The introductory scene is eminent to intentionally implement misconception of the narrative to encompass climatic irony in the story. Throughout, Jackson saturates the story with symbols creating insight to the mystery...show more content...For the community, the mere fact that the ceremony is tradition gives them the justification to continue with the lottery. Another theme is the aimless persecution of one of their own people. The villagers persecute individuals by randomly drawing a name out of a box while the victim is not guilty of any crime. The ritual of the lottery is constructed so that all of the villagers will have the same opportunity to become the victim, even children. Each year, a different person is killed, and no family is exempt from the ceremony. As Jackson conveys, all persecution is essentially random, which is why the intentional death of a community member is so relatable. Around ten o clock, June 27th was a very vivid day in the lives of the villagers, It was a beautiful summer day, the wind was slight and the flowers in full bloom. . In larger nearby towns, the lottery is started on the 26th, but this community

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

The Lottery
- 1. The Lottery: Elements of the Short Story By: Floreibel C. Gultiano
- 2. Setting Time: 10:00 o clock in the morning of June 27th Atmosphere: It was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green. Place: the village square, between the post office and the bank Local Colors:
- 3. Character Mr. Summers - round-faced, jovial man and he ran the coal business, and people were sorry for him. because he had no children and his wife was a scold (a woman who disturbs the public peace by noisy and quarrelsome or abusive behavior) Bobby Martin, Harry Jones and Dickie Delacroix - sons of the villagers who gathered a large pile of stones
- 4. Character Mr. Graves -the postmaster who helped Mr. Summers with the lottery Mrs. Tessie Hutchinson -the wife who came in late because she forgot about the lottery - she got the paper with the black dot Old Man Warner -the oldest man in town
- 5. Point of View The Lottery" uses the third-person dramatic point of view to tell a story about an un-named village that celebrates a wicked, annual event. The narrator in the story gives many small details of the lottery taking place, but leaves the most crucial and chilling detail until the end.
- 6. Point of View The use of the third-person point of view, with just a few cases of third-person omniscient thrown in, is an effective way of telling this ironic tale, both because the narrator's reporter-like blandness parallels the villagers' apparent apathy to the lottery, and because it helps build to the surprise ending by giving away bits of information to the reader through the actions and discussions of the villagers without giving away the final twist.
- 7. Plot BEGINNING The story begun with the description of the place on the 27th day of June. It's a beautiful summer day, the children are out of school, and the villagers have begun assembling in the square to hold a lottery. It is unclear exactly what the prize of this lottery is going to be, and this mystery persists throughout the story. The scene is foreshadowing that something is going to happen as we go along with the story.
- 8. Conflict Mrs. Tessie Hutchinson refuse the results of the lottery when she found out that it is her husband who got the paper with the black dot and complains that the draw is not fair and that her husband was not given much time to get his paper.
- 9. Climax When Mrs. Tessie Hutchinson got the paper with the black dot and but we're still left with several mysteries. What exactly is the prize, and why does Tess seem so unhappy about being selected to receive it? She complains a lot as if she is afraid of something else. These questions are what lead us to the next stage.
- 10. Resolution Mr. Summers ask Mr. Hutchinson on the number of the members in their family. He decided to let the Hutchinsons draw another set of papers where all of members of the family to draw.
- 11. Ending The story ended with Mrs. Hutchinson won the prize of the lottery and was stoned to death. This ironic winning of the lottery makes the story controversial that supposed to be winning in the lottery entails a lot of monetary prizes yet this was not what had happened.
- 12. Theme John 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
