For the following assignment I have chosen kiwi fruit as my source of concentration and focus. As I started to explore this object, first I have decided to focus on the outer appearance. Just by looking at the kiwi fruit, the shape that I noticed is oval or cylindrical, kind of egg-shaped fruit, a little similar to lemon size, with the two ends on each side. It is also pretty clean and uniform in shape, meaning that it’s not wrinkled or shriveled as I look at it. Skin of the fruit is covered with the thin, short, and fuzzy little hair, almost like it’s wrapped with moss that is of brown color with the dark green layer underneath of it that is evidently flat and plain. The overall color of kiwi is a mixture of brown with dark green. As I …show more content…
Comparing the two separate parts that I tasted, I noticed that the white center inside the kiwi was harder in composition than the green pulp which was much squishy. I also came to conclusion that the pulp itself had its characteristic taste of luscious and delectable taste, whereas the white center was pretty sweet but tasteless at the same time, meaning that it didn’t distinguish from any particular flavor that I could compare to. As I worked on this assignment, I observed that as I tried to concentrate more on the object, I became more frustrated and angry since I tried to get as much details as I could. When I was describing the external appearance of the fruit, I didn’t have any major problems because I relied on my senses such touch, hear, smell, but as I was exploring the internal appearance in which I mostly relied on my taste, it was pretty hard for me to focus and describe it in details. Fortunately, with each detail that I found, I got more involved in this and the flow of new thoughts and ideas came to my head. The more I was concentrating, the bigger commitment I put into this assignment. I really tried to put an effort in this task and be as much enthusiastic as I could to make this assignment pleasing, instead of just playing with it and doing it in a half-hearted
John Soluri 's Banana Cultures: Agriculture, Consumption and Environmental Change in Honduras and the United States, (Which for spatial and repetitive purposes, I will refer to as Banana Cultures for the remainder of the paper), introduces the reader to a world of corporate greed, consumption, and environmental change using the history of the common, everyday fruit, the banana. He explores the various political occurrences, health problems, and changes in mass media through the rise of the consumption of the banana in the United States, and around the globe.
Fruit: The seed-head (25-100 cm long) is large, plume-like, feathery in appearance and initially white, cream or silvery in colour.
In 1874 Arkansas developed a new state constitution and thus ended reconstruction. At that time, democrats gained control over the state in an attempt to “redeem” Arkansas and restore white supremacy. The cultural heritage of the South stayed the same, but a lot of changes were beginning to take place in the economy of the “New South”. The economy of Arkansas was almost always exclusively agricultural, but in the New South agriculture was changing and new sources of economy were emerging; leading to shifts in politics as well.
One thing that I notice in my first project is that I was very repetitive all throughout. I kept saying the same thing over and over in different words, which did not add anything to my argument. Instead, it filled my essay with empty paragraphs that I had to get rid of when writing the final draft. I believe that I have improved on that because I did not notice this problem in my other projects.
She rolled her eyes as she pushed herself off the grass ground, standing on the tips of her toes to reach a delicious apple. Grunting in effort, her fingers managed to skim the bottom, but not a good grasp.
I realized that my food consumption needs to improve, I did not realize I was that bad on my eating schedule but this assignment made me realize just how bad I take care of my health. I need to get better at feeding myself and making time for myself to get a bite to eat in the mornings. There are a lot of days I noticed in my journal that shows I only ate once so that was honestly surprising for
I noticed I was bit distracted. I noticed my facial expression was not calm and relaxed. I knew I had the “eww” look because while the raisin was in my mouth. I was focusing on how disgusting it tasted as the raisin got sogged up by my salvia. Then I went back to the exercise and noticed that the raisin that was hard at first in my hand was soft when it was in my mouth. The difference that I noticed from my normal experience of eating is that I would just eat. I would not be consciously aware of the food in my mouth, chewing the actual food and tasting and realize it go down my esophagus. I do not usually use my five sense while I eat. I usually enjoy the taste of the food when I like the food. Food that I don’t like. I would tend to swallow it. That’s how I felt at first with the raisin but since I had to do this exercise. I just forced myself to taste the raisin and eat it. During this exercise, some of my thoughts that were going in my mind are “why am I doing this when I don’t like raisins? This raisin taste disgusting, I just want to spit it out. We are almost done with this exercise. You could do it.” Even though I did not enjoy doing the raisin exercise, I have realized that I am usually not at the

Mayan civilization underwent massive developments in agriculture and within their society. According to historian Sylvanus Griswold Morley, Maya Maize agricultural practices have remained the same as they were over three thousand years ago. (Morley 128) A uncomplicated process of felling the forest, burning dried trees and bushes, planting, and switching up the spots of the cornfields every few years. This system is known as the milpa agriculture, pulled from the Aztec word for cornfield. Agricultural tools were fire-hardened, the Maya xul, a pointed planting stick, the baat, a stone axe, chim, a fiber bag for carrying the seed corn. At first, they used sticks to punch holes into the ground, but progressively obtained more advanced farming techniques. Their main crops they grew were maize (corn), beans, squash, avocados, chili peppers, pineapples, papayas, and cocoa, which was used for
Through my piece I wanted to try and to do what Burroway said by when the room is set up to do a Panorama. That the writer should show the tone in the environment, what everything looks like and how that makes others feel. For example in the “At The Dam” story, how they describe the Boulder City being ambient of a new city, shows how the past is being rebuilt into the new. In my piece I wanted to sort of recreate that, to use how the environment can affect the mood. For example how neutral tones create a calm atmosphere. I believe my strengths in this piece would be my descriptions of the room, I believe the way I used the senses bring the reader in. What I definitely lack in the piece is the conflict, I tried to make it seem as though Elle
Strawberry guava, Psidium cattleianum Sabine, is valued by the general public of Hawaii for its ornamental, straight, red bark and fleshy fruit, which is frequently prepared into jams, jellies, juices, cakes, and pastries. However, due to false advertising and commercialization, guava as well as coffee, macadamia, passion fruit, and pineapples are seen as icons of Hawaii, yet they aren’t native to Hawaii. Even though these species aren’t native to Hawaii, coffee, macadamia, passion fruit, and pineapples do not pose a serious threat to the native ecosystems of Hawaii, like the strawberry guava. Strawberry guava is an invasive alien species to Hawaii and can be managed through mechanical control, herbicide application, and biological control
I reached for the grape with all my soul, as my mouth began to water, I snatched it violently eager to please my taste buds and quickly placed it in my mouth. I let the grape roll underneath my tongue and back on top where I balanced it as my body prepared for godliness. As my mouth began to flood with saliva signaling it can’t wait any longer, I crushed the grape with my first molars and the flavor exploded as if I had set of a bomb. I could feel, taste and analyze all the different flavors and dyes as if I was a living chromatogram, my taste buds eased with satisfaction as the appetizing juice ran down my throat followed by the violet exterior. I stood there with my eyes closed, captivated by what I had just experienced and convinced that this was truly the work of God.
are quite different in nature from each other and this is solely dependent on the taste
2. When an inner need to do something meets with the inner urge spontaneous Interest is generated. When the inner urge or the Interest finds a suitable working condition it leads to spontaneous Repetition. When this spontaneous Repetition of an activity is done with interest the natural result is Concentration. Concentration is not the end product of education, its just the beginning. Any true learning happens with concentration. The children revealed that given the right conditions they would work with concentration.
1409 was the start of New Zealand long and prosperous relationship with Kiwifruit growing. Ironically, the kiwifruit seeds themselves were brought back by Whanganui teacher Mabel Fisher after a trip in China. Horticulturist, Alexandra Allison nurtured and sprouted the seeds that have now turned into an iconic Kiwi industry. Hayward Wright is the man responsible for the start of the Zespri brand. Exploiting the rich, volcanic soils from the
