INTRODUCTION
Site Name, Location and Description
The Fruit Avenue Plume (FAP) Superfund site (Site) is identified on the National Priorities List (NPL) as a chlorinated solvent groundwater plume, located in the downtown area of Albuquerque, New Mexico (Figure 1). The site originally consisted of a groundwater-contaminant plume, spanning multiple aquifer zones up to 544 feet deep; it was approximately 3,500 feet long and ranged in width from 550 to 1,300 feet.
The geographic coordinates for the center of the site are latitude 35°5’21” North, and longitude
106°38’40” West in Township 10N, Range 3E. Figure 2 depicts the overall area of the site and illustrates the location of the nearest Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority (Water Authority) and University of New Mexico (UNM) production wells. Figure 3 presents the Conceptual Site Model.
Site History of Contamination and Selected Remedy The suspected sources of the groundwater contaminant plume are historical releases from several facilities (including Sunshine Laundry, Elite Cleaners, and American Linen Corporation) that operated laundry and/or dry‐cleaning facilities near the corner of 3rd Street and Roma Avenue from 1924 to 1973. In 1973, the buildings were demolished and replaced by a paved parking area as part of an urban development plan. The City of Albuquerque first discovered chlorinated solvent contamination in groundwater near the site in April 1989, during a routine inspection of the
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.

The flowback water is stored in temporary lagoons or lakes until it is transported to facilities that treat the water or facilities that have permits to inject into deep “Class II wells” or dump into rivers, streams, and lakes along with other wastewater from other sources (OSU). Most of the facilities that are used to treat the flowback water before they are put back into water systems as treated water are not equipped to treat all the contaminants of flowback water. In all the research done, there have been no results that suggest the wastewater inside the wells contaminate or pollute groundwater that people use as drinking water. However surface spills of flowback been mostly unnoticed even though the flowback water that leaks from the storage lagoons into waterways and drinking water has potential to be especially harmful.

The frame narrative in Charles W. Chesnutt's The Goophered Grapevine creates a hidden tension between the viewpoints of the internal narrator's voice and the voice of the external narrator. Uncle Julius McAdoo is Chesnutt's internal narrator, and serves a storyteller in the story. He exemplifies the characteristics of a former slave such as being uneducated and unable to speak Standard English. Julius is old, poor, and uneducated. These characteristics set him up as being a person that lacks credibility. However, early on in the story Julius claims his credibility as a storyteller by saying "Day ain' na'er a man in dis settlement w' at won' tell you ole Julius McAdoo' uz bawn en raise on dis yer
The southern portion is being cleaned up by the Air Force under Superfund. The reason the northern portion of the base is being clean up under the Safe Drinking Water Act is because it is currently still being used for training by the Army. The Air Force no longer uses the southern portion for training purposes. There are 10 major plumes of concern. Each site has been contaminated by chemical/fuel spills, fire training activities, landfills, and drainage structures.
cubic yards of contaminated soil make this site the one of the largest Superfund projects (EPA, 2013).
Gary Soto was born April 12, 1952, in Fresno, California to Mexican-American parents. His grandparents emigrated from Mexico during the Great Depression and found jobs as farm laborers.

The Alcott Family tried to make a utopia where they could live off the land and return as closely to the Garden of Eden as possible. But the Fruitlands utopia had many noticeable flaws in the plan. Established in 1843 in Harvard,Massachusetts it was poorly planned and based around economy. The founding family were transcendentalists and wanted to make a community around it. Transcendentalists are people who believe that what you sense or feel is right without correct reasoning or facts. The Alcotts felt that their “utopia” would supply everything for them despite the bad weather conditions for farming and no use of animal products. They tried to be separate from the world but their attempt at a perfect society failed.

In the novel Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit, by Jeanette Winterson, most of the important, decision-making, characters are female. Jeanette, the female protagonist, is greatly influenced by her mother, a strong, overbearing, eccentric woman, and by Elsie, a prominent member of the family parish who becomes Jeanette's only friend and closest confidant. Elsie and Jeanette's mother act as polar forces in Jeanette's life, with the mother encouraging suppression of "unholy" or "unnatural" feelings and thoughts, and Elsie encouraging expression of feelings and accepting oneself for who one really is.
The Renaissance Floral Design time period lasted from 1400 A.D. until 1600 A.D. This is a time period where ideas would be relatively similar. However, this is due to the fact that it had been the rebirth of art. This rebirth of art would include the rebirth of of floriculture and its practices, many of which remain true to this day.
Imagine racism taking over the world, with overwhelming thoughts about how you might be the next victim. Quarrels about whether the best skin is black or white, but always resulting that white is right. Hope would evaporate from an evanescent cloud and Faith became instinct as it was replaced by agony. Everywhere you turned around for help, all you saw were the bodies of those neglected and lynched. Abel Meeropol published the poem Strange Fruit in 1937, after seeing a drastic picture of lynching that traumatized him ever since then. As a result, the poem became a memory to all those who died and is momentous to our history.
