People have always recognized jellyfish as that thing that will sting you while you are swimming, but now they will be known as a more severe problem than a simple sting. The jellyfish is causing problems with humans by disrupting electricity in Japan, Israel and Scotland as well as harming fisheries in the Black Sea. These issues are causing people to loose money that already have trouble just making enough to have simple necessities. These jellyfish blooms are a problem, but people have found a solution to the issues these monsters are

What happens to a person who has no identity at a time when identity can be one’s last hope – their salvation or a mark for death. In his novel Milkweed, Jerry Spinelli invites readers to experience the Holocaust through the eye of a young boy who misunderstands everything except the love of family and the different forms it can take. Misha, an orphan boy is taken in by a young group of Jewish thieves. He is simple minded of his own identity because Misha adopts the identity of the people around him in his life, first as a gypsy, then as a Jew when he follows his friend’s family into the ghetto. Readers are forced to focus on the simple acts of caring that takes place in a time of suffering because Misha is unable to understand what is really going on around him. Hope and selfless acts of love still exists during a time of havoc in the Warsaw ghetto, is shown through the innocent eyes of Misha. By using techniques such as dramatic irony, revealing characters’ emotion, and a unique choice of a narrator, Spinelli successfully makes his readers to feel empathy.

The version of the song “Strange Fruit,” by Cassandra Wilson is a piece of music that consists of 4 verses. I have broken these down into Verse A, Verse B. Verse A, and Verse A’. Cassandra’s voice is most certainly the melody of this version of Strange Fruit and is used in all 4 verses. The rhythm of this piece is a 4. The song opens in a high pitch “tinkling” piano, soft flute (that reminds me of the wind bowing) a soft distant sound of an electric guitar and the eerie background bass that has the feeling of darkness and fear. This drew an image of dark and chilling to me.

In Yusef Komunyakaa’s “Blackberries,” a youthful speaker seems to be living past the boundaries of city life and exhibits qualities of rural living. The poem tells of the speaker’s adventure of picking blackberries from a thicket and encountering the duality of urban society. Readers of “Blackberries” might at first be puzzled by the speaker’s youthful memory of picking berries, but a closer analysis of the poem allows readers to recognize that the speaker’s internal conflict originates from strict societal boundaries and the loss of his childhood innocence.

Harvest depicts a black teenager, Angel who is socially discriminated because of her race. In the story, Evans represents unequal treatment people often get based on race. This clearly gives the idea of ongoing racism in our society. Evans tries to make readers aware that such discrimination could be the root to even more problems. She implies that racial discrimination is not necessary and should be put to a halt.

In the short story “The Harvest” by Amy Hempel, an unnamed narrator is in a horrible car accident, where her leg is permanently disfigured. The story takes place after the accident, when the narrator is attempting to process the life changing event that’s just happened to her. The story is broken up into two parts,in the first part she describes the accident and the aftermath - the accident, the hospital, the recovery. But she opens the second half of the story by admitting that not everything we just read is factual. The struggle she is having throughout the story is to cope with and understand her accident, but her emotional distress inhibits that. The narrator conveys her instability and vulnerability that the accident caused in through the ways she decides to alter the details of her story. Although she goes through the process of reflecting on why she does this, she doesn’t come out the other side feeling less confused about why her accident happened to her, or any less unstable and vulnerable.

Veggies, fruits, flowers oh my! Gardens have all of these wonderful, healthy, goodness! Let’s start out with the supplies we need for a delicious garden! For the soil you should buy Miracle Grow if you want your plants to stay healthy and grow large. Fruits, vegetable, and flowers already in plastic pots are a faster and easier way to grow a garden. Also, a pot with a hole in it (for the water to drain in) or the soil outside works best for a place to grow the garden. Another thing is a plastic plate to put under the pot so the water doesn’t get everywhere. The final supplies needed are a watering pot and some water.

This paper will be focused specifically on the production of Driscoll’s red raspberries. I will be looking at their supplier Reiter Affiliated Companies, the labor conditions, wages, and difference between the conventional and organic raspberries. There has also been a movement to change the definition of organic and alternative foods so that it also includes the labor conditions. Therefore, there will be clearer difference between organic foods and nonorganic other than just environmental and sustainable differences between the two. The goal is to describe the production and process of distributing raspberries from the time they are planted until they are pick and then distributed in stores.

Genre: The book “Milkweed” by Jerry Spinelli is a realistic fiction story. I know the book is realistic fiction because it tells the story of a boy that lived in a time when the Jews were mistreated by the German Nazis in the 1940s during World World II. The story takes place in Warsaw (the Ghetto), Poland, and is about real life tragedies that happened during World War II.

Countee Cullen is one of the most well-known poets of the Harlem Renaissance. Born as Countee LeRoy Porter, Cullen was raised by his maternal grandmother for the first few years of his life. He later was adopted by the Cullen family to become Countee Cullen. With his adoptive family, Cullen lived in Harlem, New York, which later became the headquarters of the Harlem Renaissance. Being raised in the center of this all-black society influenced Cullen’s style of writing. The man’s writing style is distinctly demonstrated in his poem, “Fruit of the Flower”. In “Fruit of the Flower”, Cullen conveys the message that African-Americans should be treated as equal to white Americans. The song, “Team”, written and vocalized by Lorde, a modern pop

Out of the three main forms of text, fiction, screen writing and plays, and poetry, poetry might be the most analyzed and critically thought out for of text. Poetry can be both simple or complex, it can be easy to understand or full of metaphors and symbols, on thing all poetry has in common is that it can be looked at using critical theories. A main theory that can be allied to most of poetry is structuralism. Structuralism is understanding concepts through their relation to other concepts (Alton, Structuralism, 1). Poetry is perfect for this because of the many metaphors and similes that poems can have. Stephen Dobyns’ poem Tomatoes. If a reader were to use the structuralism theory while reading this poem they might read it in a different way and not so literally.

The Recent Age, we are entering more of a modern era with globalization, technology, and freedom, which is caught between modernism and postmodernism. In the confusion between modernism and postmodernism, society is left to wonder what nature really is. In Remembering by Wendell Berry, we hear the story of Andy Catlett and his struggles, when he gets his hand chopped off in a corn picker. We are able to see how he gets passed his problem that is affecting his family as well, and he comes to realize he needs to get passed it. Nature helps to clarify the problem and the solution, which Catlett struggles with throughout the book.

As I sat down with a nice refreshing cold can of Pepsi and popped in Big Breasted Girls Go To The Beach And Take Their Tops Off Return of the Killer Tomatoes, I knew that my night was going to be a delight. It could have been the tasty Pepsi or perhaps the crunchy and highly nutritious Kellogs Corn Flakes I happened to be eating that made me smile, but I like to think it was the fact that Return of the Killer Tomatoes knows exactly what I look for in an 80s horror/comedy. In the vein of hits like Airplane! and Naked Gun, Return of the Killer Tomatoes is a spoof flick turned up to 11. It's an infectiously fun flick with ample laughs, product placement and fourth wall breaking that will make any movie fan smile. It also has George Clooney in it, who I assume doesn't like to admit he was.
