Weeds Short Story

Polanco feels that he’d rather be left out of everything involving everyone than to participate with people, which is just how weeds are left alone only to grow more and ruin things. People who keep nice lawns don’t want ugly weeds polluting their lawn. They wouldn’t feel any happier for their lawn but to get rid of those weeds. Being a weed would be the perfect way of exclusion from people.

The role of how marijuana is used in the United States is being reexamined, rethought, and recalibrated, Barcott emphasize throughout his book. The new adjustment in America's relationship with cannabis cannot be measured in just monetary or social terms, “there are more profound movements going ahead here; social realignments, social alterations, and budgetary modifications” Barcott believes. Barcott show marijuana came to be one of the most vilified drugs in the market ever since the war on drugs was announced in the 1980s. However, the author shows how those who were against that movement are now cheerful that the way of that line of thinking is finally coming to a close. “Weed the

Ted Steinberg’s book American Green gives a detailed description of lawn and its role in America. He gives a history of lawn starting from the origin of the word “lawn” itself in the 16th century and gives wide-ranging anecdotes throughout the book that attempt to show the reader how obsessed Americans are with their lawns. His anecdotes are often meant to represent people all over America, but when you take a step back you realize that they are actually rare stories that provide little broader meaning. Steinberg fails to prove that American’s are obsessed with their lawns because of the poor assumptions he makes and examples he uses.

After a couple of days I knew landscaping wasn’t for me but I knew I had to keep going. I had a set schedule for the week; on Mondays and Tuesdays I would go with my cousin, Edgar Fuentes, and cut grass all around the Dallas/ Fort Worth area. We would go all the way to Rockwall just to cut some grass. It would take us up to an hour to get there, but I was okay with that because we were getting paid by the hour. We would cut up to around 15-20 yawns each day. We would have to cut grass, fertilize and then leaf blow everything. I would remember getting home and taking off my boot and have my feet swollen because of how much I walked those days.

In Will Yandik’s article, “Riding The American Landscape Of lawn,” he attempts to persuade his readers that lawns are outdated and need revamped due to their effect on the environment. Yandik writes about “chemical pollution and runoff, a voracious appetite for water, mowers that belch hydrocarbons,” (Will 539) all of which have been documented for. Yandik struggles with “the aesthetic problem with the lawn is that it allows no room for innovation, growth, or art” (Will 540). In the text “Ridding The American landscape of lawn” he persuades the reader to think differently about “the lawn”, however, I feel as if the lawn is a vital key to our environment along with the way we live by providing an inviting

If you are wandering why there are always so many weeds showing up all over the place, just imagine that one single pigweed plant can singlehandedly produce up to 117.000 seeds at once! They spread by wind, rain, they travel on the wings of birds, butterflies and flies and they can get everywhere. That is the kind of vegetal behavior that makes weeds control landscaping such a difficult and patience demanding task you need to practice if you plan o grow anything in good

A couple years ago a old lady that I didn't know the name of lived down my street. She had back problems and was always working on her yard. So me and my brother, Caden, helped her rake leafs, (it was fall and there was a lot of leafs) mow, pick weeds, and help her trim her bushes. She was in her 80's and was always hurting. Her house was dark brick, it was very decorated, there were 4 big trees so it was always shady, and she had a carport. It was chilly and me and Caden saw her raking leafs while we were riding our bikes. We stopped and asked if she needed help and she said yes. It took 20 minutes to rake all of the leafs. We put all the leafs into black trash bags and put them on end of her driveway when we were done. After that Caden mowed

Their circuitous route took Tom and Marcus into one of the more affluent residential districts. Room 15A was their final destination. Deep in thought, Marcus stared at the duck-egg blue walls while his mind fumbled for the passcode, but at last, remembering, he typed it into the small rectangular keypad beside the doorway and waited for it to open.

“HEY,” I scream. He turns around. “Take off your hood. Show yourself. What’s your name?”
