Vladimir Mayakovsky's “The Bedbug,” written in 1928-1929, appears to satirize the New Economic Policy. Mayakovsky separates his play into two acts to demonstrate two contrasting ideas, and the idea to stop the progressing bureaucracy from being a participant in the fight for communist power. In “The Bedbug,” Zoya Beryozkina is a working class woman who is rejected by Prisypkin; he abandons the working class world to marry a bourgeoisie woman in the effort to advance himself in society. After attempting suicide, Zoya seems to be quite fine fifty years later when they unfreeze Prisypkin from the past. The first half of the play ends with a tragic fire killing everyone in its presence, with one man unaccounted for. Ironically the only people to survive and advance are Zoya, the working class woman who attempts suicide in scene two, and the people who are associated with the working class. These two acts reflect the removal of the apparatchiks who took advantage of the resources supplied to them by the working class. This is demonstrated in scene one when …show more content…
Rosalie suggests that this investment—beer—would be a better investment, but it is actually the toxic mixture they feed the resurrected to make their “transitional existence easier” (285) and the reason for their own devastation at the wedding. This also demonstrates the threat that the bourgeoisie posed after the establishment of the New Economic Policy. Even unfreezing Prisypkin, along with a bedbug, fifty years later exemplifies how people like him pose a threat to the future of society. Therefore, the people decide to display him and the bedbug like zoo animals titling them “Bedbugus normalis” and “Bourgeoisius vulgaris,” (299) suggesting that they are one in the same with their venal
During the last decade, redbanded stink bug has emerged as a major stink bug pest species in Louisiana. The economic threat from redbanded stink bug is also rapidly increasing in the Mid-South and Southeastern region of the United States as it continues to expand its geographical range. Since redbanded stink bug is relatively new species in the existing sting bug complex, there is a lack of information about this pest compared to other stink bugs. One of the gaps in our present understanding is its potential spring hosts where its population can build up before migrating to soybean. Field observations have revealed that red banded stink bugs were present in high numbers on leguminous host like medic, clovers and vetch along rights-of-way, ditches
Pillbugs and sowbugs are terrestrial isopods that belong to the order Isopoda and the arthropod class crustacean. According to the Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology, the terrestrial isopods have evolved from the marine forms. However despite the fact that they seek moist environments they must also avoid an overly moist environment (Journal of Insect Science, 2008). The two different species resemble one another phenotypically. However, pillbugs are a dark gray and the sow bugs are a light gray with posterior projections. Pillbugs also curl into a ball when they feel endangered and the sow bugs do not. The pill bugs used in this experiment were female. Isopods primarily live in dark, damp habitats in order to prevent dehydration (Isopod Behavior Lab). The purpose of this experiment was to determine the type of environment isopods prefer. First we tested to see if the isopods preferred a dry or moist environment and then we tested to see if they preferred the potting soil or the leaf litter environment. For the observation of isopods in response to moisture experiment it was said that each of the two different species would prefer a different environment. For part two, Observation of Isopods in response to other variables, it was hypothesized that the Isopods would prefer the potting soil or the leaf litter environment.
Our hypothesis was that sowbugs prefer grass to sand as a ground covering because grass is more suitable to them due to its moisture level and that it contains decaying matter. The sowbugs preferred sand 10% more than grass (Figure 1). Table 1 shows the difference in preference for the ground covering, with more sowbugs preferring sand to grass.
In the short story “Marigolds”, the author, Eugenia Collier, uses several key events throughout the short story to represent the unseen cage that the main character, Lizabeth, is trapped in, and ultimately breaks. The story is set in a shanty town, likely taking place during the Great Depression. Throughout the story, Lizabeth goes through a difficult stage in life, a stage in which she is in conflict about whether she wants to be a carefree, innocent child, or an educated, compassionate adult. The climax of the story, when Lizabeth tears and rips up Miss Lottie’s marigolds, is such an emotional moment for Lizabeth that she finally completes her transition to adulthood, understands her endless cycle of poverty, and breaks the final bar of the cage.

While bed bugs don’t have disease that they pass on to people, they can bite and cause bumps or welts that are itchy.

While the Smolinsky family is not literally “hanging on Bessie’s neck for her wages”, this displays to the reader how desperation affected them. The metaphor acts as a bridge between the reader and the event, therefore allowing them to feel the same worry that Sara harbors through the shared experience of “hanging” without support. It is important for the audience to relate to the characters, yet this cannot happen if the author’s portrayal gives little humanity to their characters. Hence, when Yezierska writes that financial help according to Sara and her family is a “stab into our burning shame”, it shows that despite any prior notions of poverty being an “ornament”, they still have human wants and needs. Moreover, it shows that her characters are not emotionless apathetic beings that live only on their faith; they too endure deviations from what is expected of them. At any rate, repeated similes have an analogous consequence on the reader's thoughts. Multiple comparisons within a small section of text compound the anxiety, bombarding the same heavy emotions that Sara feels onto the reader in a way that they can sympathize with her, and in turn, Yezierska herself. Altogether, these literary moves go further than simply entertaining the audience, but informing them about what the world was truly

In an annual list released of bed bug infested cities, Chicago has gained the dubious honor for the forth year in a row of having the most bed bug treatments in a year. There are a number of reasons why Chicago may experience higher levels of bed bugs than other places, and one is the fact that bed bugs travel quite easily. Since Chicago is a spot that receives a lot of visitors every year, it is feasible that some bed bugs are hitching a ride on the possessions of the incoming tourists.

The ladybug is found all over the world and there is said to be more than 450 species in North America.

It would be a challenge not to wonder what causes him to be so nasty, audacious, and insensitive toward everyone, including himself. The transient beauty of Bukowski’s prose is hidden within the elusive and terse nature of his writing. Although it might be hard to appreciate at first glance, it gradually becomes more transparent as the reader becomes increasingly familiar with the two books. With this, the reader gains the ability to enter into the mindset of the protagonist and embark on a series of self-reflections regarding what type of person he/she might have become if he/she experienced similar neglect. Charles Bukowski wrote in a scramble, with a nothing-to-lose truthfulness that became the expedient in reliving the downtrodden generation in which Chinaski is raised. Along with some opinions that were expressed in the critical article in Time Magazine, Bukowski’s main character has deemed himself as none other than what he is in life: a “low life loser.” It does not require an immense level of effort to describe him as such, but attempting to explain a man of his particular genre is unquestionably abstruse. He is ornery and taciturn; when he does speak, it is with no apologies. He lives his life botching any remedial job for which he is lucky enough to get hired, and has no desire to escape the sphere he lives in as a “loser.” The reader must first ask why Henry
Bed bugs are back in a big way. In the past 15 years their numbers have exploded. In the past, bed bugs ceased to be a problem in North America but they were still alive and well in other countries. Today, their numbers are on the rise again due to travel and immigration from countries that never managed to get rid of them like we did. The bed bug can now be found in every U.S. state. Unfortunately, once you have bed bugs, you’re going to need help.
