Harvesting pineapples is usually done by hand and assisted by machines which collect the fruit into hampers. Fruit yields can be up to 40 tons per acre. Although, the first ratoon crop will have lower yields around 30 tons and the fruit will be smaller. This reduction in fruit size and uniformity leads to the plants only being allowed to produce two to three crops on a pineapple plantation maximum. Then a new plantation must be located and prepared. After the harvest is done there will residue leftover in the field. To get rid of this residue it will be plowed up next time the field is being prepared for planting.
Within the poem “Oranges” composed by Gary Soto, it discusses the story of a boy and the evolution of young love. The poem begins with the boy walking to the girl’s house and nothing but a nickel and two oranges are in his pockets on a cold December day. Once arriving at her house, they stroll alongside each other to the drugstore, where he then tells her to choose any chocolate bar of her preference. He leaves himself vulnerable, as he only had money for half the chocolate bar and therefore gives the saleslady an orange as payment for the rest of it. They then leave the store and through time become more confident and accepting of love.
The poems “ Oranges” by Gary Soto expresses a slow and light feeling, the story focuses on a boy and a girl first time going out. The other poem “ Maco Limping” by David Nava Monreal gives a wide variety of tone. The story is based around this dog with some disabilities. Both poems have similar tones conveyed by the authors’ word choice.
Growing up with timidity and when don’t have love. Gary soto incorporates internal and external dialogue into his stories “broken chain”, “seventh grade” and the narrative poem “oranges’’. The main idea of these passages is that the main characters have insecurity, immaturity and looking for acceptance. The characters are not confident enough to go talk to the girl. An example that means that is that they shy and don't have enough “guts’’ to talk the girl. Soto creates character with similar personality by using dialogue to reveal that the males in the story and poem all share one thing in common. They all have a girl they like.

Once upon a time in a far away place, there lived a fox and a bunny. Farmer John grew carrots every year. One time, his carrots were stolen by the fox, Stacey. She said she did not take them even though everyone knew she did. Then, in the main carrot growing season, Farmer John’s carrots were stolen once again. Everyone thought it was Stacey, but no, it was Pete, the bunny. “No! No!” said Stacey, “It was not me!” The villages responded, “We do not believe you because you stole the carrots before.” Everyone assumed it was Stacey and no one thought it was Pete, even though it was. Later that same week, Stacey got very angry with Pete and said, “Pete is lying about taking the carrots. I would never steal the carrots ever again after the last time!”
Billie Holiday was a well known jazz singer who was born in Pennsylvania on April 7, 1915. She was also known as Elanora Fagon in which unfortunately had fallen victim in her life towards the addiction of heroin. In conjunction with her addiction, she developed a criminal record due to her numerous arrests relating to her drug abuse and prostitution. She eventually checked herself into an institution to help break her addiction. However, at the young age of forty-four she died from congestion of the lungs which had stemmed from having heart failure. Billie’s life was filled with trials and tribulations. Throughout her life she had dealt with racism, sexism, and poverty. Billie dropped out of school in the fifth grade to run errands in a brothel, and then at the age of twelve she was arrested for prostitution. Around 1930 she started singing in local clubs. One of her most popular and intense songs was ‘Strange Fruit’ written in 1939.
Following our nation’s reconstruction, racist sentiments continued to occur and White on Black violence was prevalent throughout society. The horrible act of lynching African Americans was thoroughly widespread in the United States, particularly in the South. It is said that approximately 4,742 individuals were lynched between 1882 and 1968; of the victims, 3,445 or seventy-three percent were African American (Perloff 315). An image of two lynched young men inspired Abel Meeropol to create the poem, “Strange Fruit,” later converted into a song by Billie Holiday. On August 7, 1930 in Marion County, Indiana, three young African American men, Thomas Shipp, Abram Smith, and James Cameron were charged with the murder of a white man and the rape
The author of the book, “The Fate of the Fruit that Changed the World” (2008), Dan Koeppel, who is a famous journalist describes in a fascinating way banana’s cultural importance, threats associated with the crops of banana in the future and banana’ history. Banana is a very delicious fruit and is eaten all over the world. Banana is one of the world’s fourth largest harvests in the world. Dole and Chiquita are eminent American based distributors and producers of banana. They are claiming to produce the banana on low price. In this book, Koeppel discusses the risks associated to the plantation of banana around the world. He also discusses the fact that due to blight, the plantation of banana is destroyed (Koeppel, 2008). He points out that the farmers and the producers have no insight at all regarding this matter (Koeppel, 2008).
Novels can be developed through the point of view of events and characters. I Am Mordred develops a limited event for third person point of view in the Prologue and Epilogue, while Books One through Four develop a less limited point of view for characters.
Today, the working industry has made substantial progress towards gender equality pay while adding numerous career opportunities for woman in the workforce. However, society still poses ethical concerns between women and men regarding gender pay gap and discrimination for the same job function that apparently still exist. To put it differently, women regrettably have struggled as they continue in trying to make headway in gaining the respect of the working-class industry since the mid-1900’s. In some cases, researchers state that women in the workforce will not get paid equally for the same job function because of discrimination of gender gap. According to one research study, “there is still a gender pay gap. Women continue to earn considerably less than men on average” (Blau & Kahn, 2007, p. 8). While men have the higher ground of work tenure there should be equal pay for women with the same qualifications; I will argue the concerns of gender gap pay while using the utilitarian theory, deontological theory and the objection of moral reasoning to prove the ethical theory.
Jeanette Winterson uses hard work and the editing process to make her book, Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit, the success that it is. Thus, that it is the aforementioned aspects of the writing process that are the most integral, overshadowing even the inspiration process. A book written primarily using inspiration would be a failure if there was not hard work involved.
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.
The breeding of the red-fleshed apples was originally from Kazakhstan and improvements of the apple was breed in order for the breeders to produce a apple that has high in Vitamin and as a healthy diet snack. The scientists have collected the apple’s seeds in order to let those seeds to grow in New Zealand. The red-fleshed apples were usually small back in Kazakhstan and it has a different taste which was a bit bitter and had a lack of quality in the commercial marketing. Also they have improved the apple’s taste just by crossing the original red-fleshed apple with another white-fleshed varieties fruit in order to improve the characteristics of the apple since it will be important for commercial and consumer with its long storage life. Generally, the red-fleshed apple will breed in order to improve the quality of the apple and also to provide nutrition which are high in vitamins and antioxidants, which then it reduces the risk of some diseases, but there are some red fleshed apple that can be healthier than other apples that have been produced. Although, breeders are able to use genetic information in order to make the breeding process faster and more effective. By investigating the DNA from the apples seed the scientists are able to predict that many apple characteristics including the red fleshed apple long before the seeds produces fruit, in order to decided which seeds are able to grow well and which can be redundant.
In the food industry there have been many issues and processes that have brought a large amount of question to the industry overall, like the meat packing process in its early stages. I can 't think of a more heated issue in the last few passing years then the controversy over Genetically modified organisms in the food industry. Some countries are for it some are against it. Many sides will argue that genetically mutated organisms (GMO) are bad for the food industry while others will argue the opposite. While genetically mutate organisms have proved to provide many positive uses on today 's earth the question still remains the same are GMO 's good for us, the environment, or at all. Also if they yield more negative
