The Lady Tasting Tea - The Book Memo

It’s interesting to see the ways different authors depict how a character matures. In Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill a Mocking Bird we can easily see how she chose to do it. The novel is set in Alabama in the 1930’s, while black vs. white racism was a big issue and problem for many. Atticus is the father of Scout and Jem, young children who witness the discrimination first hand when their father, a white man, defends a black man in court. Lee does a great job developing the characters; especially the narrator, Jean Louise Finch (Scout). Scout’s thoughts, conversations, and actions, illustrate that she’s emotionally maturing from the innocent child that she was.

The purpose of this experiment was to test multiple brands of popcorn under the same setting in order to conclude which one statistically popped the most kernels. I tested the butter flavor of Orville Redenbacher, Wal-mart’s Great Value brand, and Pop Weavers. The different bags of popcorn were popped in the same microwave for the same amount of time, 3 minutes and 15 seconds. Then, the popped corn was counted, as well as the un-popped kernels, in order to determine a ratio, and then I recorded the results in the data table. I repeated these steps two more times for a total of 3 trails for each brand. Then I compared the ratios of all the bags to determine which brand yielded the most popped corn. The statistical technique used to evaluate the data was to find a ratio between the number of kernels in the bottom of the bowl and the number of popped kernels. To find this, I divided the number of the actual popped corns by the total number of kernels left in the bottom of the bowl. The ratios and percent were then compared. Once all my results were in the data table, I averaged the 3 trials for each brand of popcorn.

“For all the Tea in China -How England Stole the World 's Favorite Drink and Changed History

The tea in the harem takes place in a suburb of Paris, a suburb where violence rules and desire diminishes. The book tea in the harem looks closely into the life of two characters, Pat and Majid. While reading the book we see that these two men are strictly grown around troubled cultures, drugs, and alcoholics. Throughout the book you see that their lives are fully involved around large amounts of despair, and hopelessness. The whole book is predominately wrapped around the idea of despair. Despair will cause women to start giving up their bodies and for the men to start smoking and drinking. Being that they are in the suburbs of Paris there is no way for them to escape from this massacre. Most characters in the book look to join gangs and violence as their way out of society.

Question 3, (p. 1135): What are the “trifles” that the men ignore and the two women notice? Why do the men dismiss them, and why do the women see these things as significant clues? What is the thematic importance of these “trifles”?

“The astonishing, uplifting story of a real-life Indiana Jones and his remarkable humanitarian campaign in the Taliban’s backyard” is the introduction given to Greg Mortenson’s readers before even opening his book, Three Cups of Tea. This phrase slapped on the back cover of the millions of books sold in America prepares readers to not only buy into Greg Mortenson’s heroic story but even support his cause. “One song we hear too often is the one in which Africa serves as a backdrop for white fantasies of conquest and heroism”(Cole). The problem with Mr. Mortenson’s “song” is that it provides a single view of the religion of Islam. At first glance of Mortenson’s book, “[Greg’s] mission to Promote Peace… One School at a Time” is an

Throughout David Oliver Relin’s “Three Cups of Tea,” Greg Mortenson is faced with many obstacles that interfere with his goals. He struggled with money, sickness, and stress. Mortenson began the novel struggling to climb one of the toughest mountains and after many attempts to reach the peak, he failed. He then stumbled upon a small village known as Korphe. Meeting the people of Korphe and seeing their generosity showed Mortenson that failing the climb was not a true failure, but an act that brought him to the Balti people. He saw their need for a school and wanted to help educate the next generation of Baltis. If Mortenson had given up the first time he was faced with hardship, he would never have accomplished all he did. Throughout the novel Mortenson endured many obstacles but never gave up. As a child, Mortenson’s father told him, “If you believe in yourself, you can accomplish anything.” (Pg.38). Perseverance is a recurring theme throughout “Three Cups of Tea” and is portrayed while Mortenson is climbing, raising money for the school, and building it.

The daughter of Japanese immigrants to the United States, Mitsuye Yamada was born in Japan during her mother’s return visit to her native country. In 1942, she and her family were incarcerated and then relocated to a camp in Idaho. The Executive Order 9066 signed by President Roosevelt in February 1942 was the reason Mitsuye and her family were incarcerated. The Japanese attack on Pearl Habor in December 1941, gave military authorities the right to remove any and all persons from “military areas.”

"Three Cups of Tea" starts with a short introduction by one of the authors, David Oliver Relin, about Greg Mortenson. David tells a story about how Greg Mortenson helped a retired army helicopter pilot find the fuel refill spot. David uses this story to lead into saying how amazing Greg Mortenson is and what an incredible experience he got from working with Greg.

Author repeated the same experiment with another person, but the juice was poured by the author in SW and TS is of same volume. It is noticed that people have the tendency to choose SW more likely than TS.

In the Poem, “The lady of Shallot”, the main character, Lady of Shallot spends the entirety of her life perceiving the outside world through the reflection of her window through a mirror. As the Lady of Shallot observes the obscured reality, she weaves all that she sees in the mirror to create a quilt. However, what the lady sees in the mirror is not an accurate representation of the real world outside of her castle. Thus, by this action, the Lady of Shallot is an accurate representation of how all artists create their artwork. In other words, the layers behind reality that is not palpable to human eyes are what artists visualize and then illustrate on their canvas. To illustrate the emblem of Lady of Shallot, famous artist, Vincent van Gogh,

The story began in a sunny afternoon in Cambridge in the 1920s. A group of scientists was having a tea party when a lady claimed that there was a difference in taste between the cups where tea was poured into milk and the cups where milk was poured into tea. Sir Ronald Fisher who became a famous statistician suggested an experiment to test the lady’s hypothesis. The story then goes to the 1890s when the statistical revolution started. Karl Pearson was considered by many as the founder of mathematical statistics. Pearson discovered the skew distributions stating that they would cover any type of data scatter and he described these distributions by four numbers; mean, standard deviation, kurtosis and symmetry. Later a Polish mathematician, Jerzy Neyman showed that Pearson’s skew distributions can not be used to explain all possible distributions. Sir Francis Galton who discovered fingerprints was also interested in statistics and he founded a biometrical laboratory to measure height and weights in families to find a mathematical formula that predict the height of children from the heights of their parents. He described regression to the mean where heights of the children moved away from

British are illustrious as a fan of tea. England is the country outside of Asia, which is known as the world's largest tea consumer. Since it was first introduced in the 17th century, the popularity of tea in Britain is so shot. This popularity led to the motto of "tea time" which eventually became an essential activity in the lives of the British. British predilection to drink tea evolved a tradition of drinking tea in the afternoon which is known as the "Afternoon Tea". The characteristic of this tea-related ritual is the tea served with snacks that arranged in the three-tier tray.
