Oak Wood Hypothesis

Sea Oak is a short story centered on the life of Aunt Bernie. Sea Oak is an apartment complex in an unsafe neighborhood that Aunt Bernie lives in. Residing in her home: her nieces, Jade and Min; their two babies Mac and Troy; and her nephew and Min’s brother, the narrator. The conflict of the story arises when there is a shooting outside of the apartment while Jade, Min, and their babies are outside. Troy’s walker is hit by a bullet, leaving fragments from the walker on the baby’s clothing. Reeling from the close call, the cousins complain about the safety of the neighborhood, yet are unwilling to do anything to better their situation. Aunt Bernie’s ever complacent attitude, “At least we got a home. And at least none of those bullets actually hit nobody,” (Saunders), prevents her from any ambition to leave. The conflict resolves itself with Aunt Bernie’s death and her subsequent return from the dead, to convince her indolent family members to work hard to better their situation and live life to the fullest.

Previously this week we discussed "The Haunted Oak" that applied to the African American people that badly tried to escape slavery. For this reflection paper, I will portray some of the personal feelings I had after I read the text and heard the song and how that had a meaningful impact on me. The people that tried to escape slavery were accused and prosecuted by being hung in a tree, which happened to many people as they felt used by the white people. The story was told by the perspective of the tree and how it felt haunted because of all the people it had killed. The white people said that the African American people had no importance in this world and should not be allowed any power what so ever. However, the prosecution did not stop with

In Maxine Kumin’s “Woodchucks,” the speaker’s attitude dynamically shifts from thinking his actions are right, to realizing they are wrong, then convincing himself he is right. He does this using elements of allusion, imagery, diction, and figurative language.

Taken together, oak, pine, and maple are the state trees for more than half the states.

How much deer could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck were driving down the road and came across a dead, pregnant doe? Well, the woodchuck chucking the dear is a bit irrelevant. Rather, the two poems Traveling through the Dark by William Stafford and Woodchucks by Maxine Kumin respectively focus on the relationship between humans and nature. Woodchucks takes an allegorical approach, with a heavy handed political message. Traveling simply examines the significance of human life in the context of nature. If the poems were literary characters, Traveling would be Jane Eyre, Woodchucks would be Brutus. Traveling is personal, with the narrator having a strong sense of humanity, but ultimately basing his actions on logic.

What if Major League Baseball (MLB) used aluminum bats instead of wood bats? Would the type of bat change the game? Would it affect the safety of the players? MLB will most likely never use aluminum bats for several reasons, but three that stand out are the increased batter performance, the safety to the players, and the durability of the bats.

It is true that we cannot take our worldly possessions with us after we leave this world. Thus, deciding which possessions are worth fighting for is something most people grapple with in their lives. Because mortgage bills and other financial responsibilities have the power to cripple a family’s finances, the story of the family portrayed by Mary Oliver in “The Black Walnut Tree” that decides to keep a Walnut Tree instead of paying off their mortgage is endearing and relatable. The use of communal diction, simile, and personification convey the relationship between the tree and the family as invaluable and indispensable.

Birch trees are a very lovely addition to your yard, but they suffer from one of the most destructive of all pest infestations: the bronze birch borer. This pest causes life-threatening damage to birch trees across the nation. Understanding these creatures and how to treat them can help clean them out of your yard forever.

Is baseball America's pastime? For the major leaguers maybe, but for college athletes it seems more like a new age video game. The introduction of high dollared aluminum bats produce football like scores, higher statistics, and a percentage of danger to each and every player on the field. The NCAA has changed the regulations of the bats so far and should look further into to making another change to wooden bats.

Bamboo Among the Oaks is a great selecting book to read and this book will tell us about many interesting things, suprising, and emotional. This book is not just for those who interested in ethic or Asian American studies, but for anyone who wants to know the new immigrants, Americans are transforming not only themselves and their culture but America itself. This is a unique collection of poetry and prose invites us to share Hmong life in America- the sadness for what has been lost in the old culture back in China, Laos, Thailand and all over the world who struggle with what must be learned in the new culture, and the intense conflict between the two. Hmong people started arriving in the United State in the 1970s as a result of the Vietnam

Baseball sure is a fun sport, so let's look into the bats! Baseball bats are what basically makes baseball a sport and we need to know if aluminum or wood bats make the ball go farther. The motion of a swing and what the items are made of are all things we need to find out about this project.

On Sunday, September 10th, 2017 at 1642 hours, I was dispatched to 2321 Shadow Wood Circle in reference to a death.

Achieving a powerful swing is difficult, so having the best equipment is imperative. To start, grab shock resistant batting gloves and the appropriate bat. The correct bat length is figured out by balancing the bat the top of the barrel. When balanced on the floor, the knob of the bat should graze the bottom of the groin. Each league has different bat regulations based on the bat’s composition. In a wood bat league, the best type of wood is maple because it is more dense, resulting in less flexibility, and more strength than ash. The less flex a bat has the more power the batter can generate because the change in velocity, known as inertia, will be greater resulting in a more powerful impact. In a metal bat league the best choice is a one part composite bat because, like a

Today was my second time meeting Senior Agent Wood. We had a chance to discuss our backgrounds, goals and what we wanted out of this experience. I found out that she specializes in working with women that are new releases and family drug treatment court participants. I will intern on Mondays (office days), Wednesdays (Milwaukee Women’s Correctional Facility) and Fridays (Family Drug Treatment Court). On my first day, Agent Wood and I met with Supervisor Clemmons to discuss a revocation packet that was sent back from the regional office because it needed one correction. Agent Wood was transferring out all her male parolees to other agents. It was Wednesday, and we were going to do a staffing (picking up new women to supervise) at the MWCC. Before
