Descriptive Essay On Apple Picking

In Eudora Welty’s novel, The Golden Apples, the author presents a combination of short stories to give the readers an insight into the intricacies of human relationships. In doing so, in “June Recital,” Welty utilizes the separation technique, once again, to give multiple perspectives depending on the different time periods and characters. Moreover, by implementing the textual structure and significance of the MacLain house from the “Shower of Gold,” the two stories, although separate, have a strong bond and share similar significance to one another. As a result, with dense and detailed descriptions and vernacular languages, Welty succeeds in providing the reader with a three-dimensional analysis of the events which occur in the “June

One summer day, me and my sister penelope received a call from my aunt. The call was to ask if we would go to a baseball game. Well of course we agreed, why would we not go to what would be our first game. The date was set, it was a day before Independence day. I was very excited I counted down on my cute marble print planner with a big blue sticker phrased “ seize today”. Finally I’m going to do something for the summer!

At first I had forgotten what I had planned for today, but I quickly remembered after a groggy sigh. I was meeting with my uncle to go hunting! The thought of getting to watch the sun come up while waiting patiently in the refreshing outside air was enough to get me out of bed. I fixed myself a small breakfast of apple juice and a couple pieces of toast. I went back into my room and changed into my long johns, put my regular clothes over top on that, threw on a jacket and finally slipped into my camouflage. I proceeded to load up my rifle and secure it in its case. A few minutes later, I received a phone call from my uncle asking if our plans were still set. "Morning, nephew! Are you still coming over in about 30 minutes?" he said. I replied, "Yes sir! I'll be there no later than the time we've discussed." He acknowledged and hung up the phone. I took one last look around to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything. I was burning up at this point because of all the layers of clothes I had put on. I got in my car, turned on some good music, blasted the a/c and off I

The summer at Devon is completely blissful and everyone, including Gene, is happily ignorant. When Gene is at the teacher’s house, Gene thinks, “Someday the Dean would probably live entirely encased in a house of glass and be happy as a sandpiper (12)”. Because Gene and Finny’s relationship is “just friends”, they were very honest with each other, which relates to the imagery of this glass house. They had no secrets from each other, which is similar to Eve and Adam. The glass represents clear feelings that are not hidden from each other. They trusted each other, but then Eve broke their promise, in a way ‘fogging’ the glass up. In the summer, Gene was feeling innocent and happy, the book says, “The tree was tremendous, an irate, steely black steeple beside the river. I was damned if I’d climb it”. The idea of the Garden of Eden, and the tree that gives the knowledge of all things good and evil, is similar to Gene and Finny’s relationship. This tree represents the tree of knowledge, because Gene wants nothing to do with knowing all bad things that happen. But, in the end he is blind to what he is doing. Eve takes the apple, when god says ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.”. Gene ‘takes the apple’ and he ends up

My first thought when I woke up was that today is the first competitive baseball practice. I couldn’t wait! To start the day, I grabbed a bowl and some cereal like any other day. When I got out the milk carton, I smelled it, and noticed it had gone bad. So, I threw it away and opened the new carton. Then, I grabbed a spoon and started to eat. As I was in the process of eating, I heard my mom from a distance say, “Max, start getting ready for your first baseball practice!” Silly mom...she had no idea I’d been waiting for this day for about a week.

I close my eyes and let my body move as my horse takes a step toward the clover patch in front of us. I lean down, resting my head on his withers and begin to stroke his neck. Just as the golden leaves fly away with the breeze, my stress from the long school day seems to do the same. I know I should be worrying about the stack of assignments that are due tomorrow, but all that seems to matter at the moment is how beautiful the clear sky is. I look up to the snow white clouds and an idea for the costume class at my last county fair that I will be able to participate in hits me. “It’s sure to win,” I say to myself, “who doesn’t like a

The other people they encounter on the road are described as, “stained and filthy. Slouching along with clubs in their hands, lengths of pipe. Coughing” and the main characters try to avoid them as much as possible. Despite challenges and other people on the road, the boy and his father survive, and come to many points where the presence of nature saves their lives. This only reinforces the idea that they might not be able to survive at all without it. At one point, when the man is searching an old barn for supplies, food, and water, he comes across an old apple orchard. Even though the apples he finds on the ground are, “dry and almost tasteless” he fills his arms with them, and the man and his son rely on these apples to sustain them until they can find more food. The apples symbolize the reliance that the characters have on nature to provide food, even though there is little left of it in this post apocalyptic
