Oxidation is the chemical process by which an electron is removed from an atom, or group of atoms, through reactions that may or may not involve oxygen addition or hydrogen loss. With the exception of some, the overall effects of oxidation in food products are considered detrimental and can cause loss of nutritional value and development of off-flavours.

The Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA) restricted the production of crops. The AAA encouraged farmers to not only limit, but also to “destroy their crops” in an effort to help the economy (“Farm Relief”, 2002, p. 10). While the government attempted to support unsuccessful farmers, landlords took advantage of the opportunity to make a profit. The AAA’s scarcity program allowed for landlords in the cotton-growing regions of the South to force sharecroppers and tenant farmers off of the land (Watkins, 1970, p. 193).

Heaney writes retrospectively about his life, with hindsight, about the times he as a child, would go blackberry picking at a particular time every year. It contrasts pleasure and disappointment when talking about the beauty of nature at the beginning of the poem, then goes on to show how in the end, each and every single one of the marvellous berries

As I looked about me I felt that the grass was the country, as the water is the sea. The red of the grass made all the great prairie the color of wine-stains, or of certain

The United Fruit Company was founded 1899, after the takeover of the Boston Fruit Company, thus forming the largest banana company in the world (Landmeier, 1997). Through strategic business moves, immediately developed a monopoly over the rapidly expanding banana trade in Latin America. This new company had 112 miles of railroad, 212,394 acres of land, and a capital of $11,230,00 and proceeded to buy lands in Santo Domingo, Honduras, Guatemala, Panama, and Cuba, and increase additional acreage in Nicaragua, Jamaica, and Colombia (May and Plaza 1958, p.7) as well as exporting 16 million bunches of bananas per year.
