Peas Need To Be Easier To Harvest Plants

In the poem, “Snapping Beans”, by Lisa Parker, the narrator portrays a moment between herself and her grandmother sitting on a porch swing after coming home for the weekend from college. The relationship between her and her grandmother is the same as most teenagers in society today. We are very stingy to who we really talk to. The speaker does not open up to her grandmother about what really is going on in her life. Her grandmother is not a best friend or a close parent that she tells everything to. As a result, the response was just a “School’s fine” and did not go into what is really going on in her life. The speaker feels awkward and is afraid of judgement from her grandmother. The narrator uses literary devices such as imagery and diction to to help the reader understand on an emotional level of how the student may be feeling while sitting on the porch with her grandmother.

No matter how far away from family you are, you will always be connected to your roots. In “Snapping Beans” by Lisa Parker, Parker uses an important symbol that resonates throughout the poem. The hickory leaf, which symbolizes the granddaughter, is the most important symbol in the poem. The granddaughter is the first child to go off to college and learn from the books rather than learn from culture like her grandmother. During her conversation with her grandmother concerning school, there is a wave of emotions flowing through the granddaughter’s mind.

In the first chapter of The Bean Trees, the main character Taylor Greer (a.k.a Missy or Marietta) is introduced and begins her adventure. Taylor is a gallant, cordial, and courageous young woman that was raised in an agrarian sector of Kentucky. She decided to leave her hometown in a spontaneous manner, however, this didn’t go as well as she would’ve liked. During her move, she stopped in Oklahoma and ended up with a baby that was given to her by a stranger. The only thing she has in common with this baby is having Cherokee blood in their veins.

Based on the data table above, my hypothesis was supported because the meal worms did produce much more carbon dioxide than the germinating peas did. As shown above on the graph, the mealworms rate was 0.185 compared to the rate of the germinating peas which were 0.035. However, the amount of carbon dioxide released was not double the amount. If the peas were releasing carbon dioxide at a rate of 0.035 then I would expect the mealworms to release carbon dioxide at a rate of 0.07. The actual rate of the mealworms were actually about 5.2 times more than the germinating peas.

The Alaskan pea (Pisum Sativum) is an annual plant or a plant that occurs once a year. Another common name is a garden pea. Since alaskan peas are plants they require water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide to do photosynthesis. Since Alaskan peas are annual they usually happen around the cool months. “ Peas are a cool season vegetable, and do best in a climate where there are two months of cool growing weather, either spring planting in the northern regions or fall planting in the warmer, southern regions.” (Veggie Harvest).Peas grow up to 3-4 feet tall and are hardy to frost and light freezes. “Alaskan Peas take 8 to 10 days to germinate and 52 days to fully mature.” (Veggie Harvest.)

From all of the context clues provided, one can draw the conclusion that the hickory leaf represents the young girl falling away from her rustic roots.

I have always been interested in science, but the hands on experiments have helped me understand and grasp concepts much easier. I recall my first experiment in first grade when the class was given the lima bean sprout experiment, which required students to plant a bean in a paper cup. The purpose of this experiment was to teach us about photosynthesis and practice our observation skills. I recall how others were fascinated about why their sprout grew. I, on the other hand, was more captivated by why the other sprouts did not grow and the factors, which contributed to that outcome. This basic experiment taught me to look at things through different lenses and not always to the most obvious path.

In the poem, “Snapping beans,” by Lisa Parker, the author shows how a simple activity can cause an immense amount of insecurity. The poem tells the story of a young student who is helping her grandmother to snap beans; however, there is a moment in which the speaker felt driven by her emotions that she could not answer her grandmother about how she was doing in school. The author used this simple activity to demonstrate how someone can hold so much without anyone noticing.

The two hypotheses tested during the experiment were the warmer the temperature, the more oxygen will be consumed, and the germinated peas will consume more oxygen than the dry peas. Some conditions that had to remain constant in this experiment were that each vial had to have the same volume to let us know that the volume of the vial wouldn’t affect the respiration rate. Had the volumes been different, the respiration rate might have been affected. Another constant was the 7 minute equilibrium period before completely submerging the vials in the water. This allowed the peas and the other substances in the vials to begin respiration before being completely submerged in the water, but also, they would have the same time to carry out

Seeing my mom works hard on feeding each plant with fertilizer and water, I cannot do anything but feel helpless. My uncoordinated body does not allow me to be gentle and meticulous on tiny living species. I am no petite, delicate person; I like power tools, black grease, and mechanisms. Only if my mechanical skills could grow flower… An idea suddenly sparked. I looked up some compost planting systems. They are expensive! Three hundred, four hundreds dollars are ridiculous prices for a plastic bucket. I headed straight to Home Depot with twenty bucks on hand and a plan in mind; I am building my own garden tower system.

Most of the plants do not grow in soil and they rely on the support of others plants to survive, epiphytes was one example.
