Use of Symbols and Symbolism in John Steinbeck's The Chrysanthemums            John Steinbeck's short story "The Chrysanthemums" is about a proud, strong woman named Elisa Allen who feels frustrated with her present life. Her frustration stems from not having a child and from her husband's failure to admire her romantically as a woman. The only outlet for her frustration is her flower garden where she cultivates beautiful chrysanthemums. Steinbeck uses chrysanthemums as symbols of the inner-self

Well, as surprising as it is, it is the truth of the matter. Insects (such as pea aphids) can explode themselves to protect their colony/ family from

for Fisheries and Oceans Canada, “Reports indicate that there are potential (lethal) issues associate with Salmosan and Alphamax usage” (CBC NEWS, 2015). More so, treating seeds of canola, soybean and corn with Neonicotinoid, a pesticide to ward off aphids (insect pests), has been in practice since long in Canadian farming. Bird’s ingestion of these treated seeds or contaminated insects has been a major cause of an alarming decline in their population due to poisoning. Certain bird populations like

Pig Face Carpobrotus Rossii There are about 30 different species of carpobrotus Rossii (Pigface) around the world. In Australia there are four species which are seen mainly in coastal areas on sand dunes. Pigface is a succulent plant that spreads up to 2 or more metres, flatly across the ground with thick waxy succulent leaves growing up to 100mm long and has large daisy like flowers which grow about 45mm in diameter. This plant usually has purple petals with a white or yellow centre. fruits

have been widely practiced for decades. This report simply summarises our results comparing two methods. The tests compared the effectiveness of the often cited ‘salting out method’ based on Sunnucks and Hales’ (1996) method of DNA extraction from aphids, with a ‘science-at-home’ style method of DNA extraction according to the NHGRI’s video “how to extract DNA from strawberries” (2010) This made use of household detergent as a surfactant to allow the DNA out of the cell and its contents. This method

the blacks and whites would never communicate, never even allowed to do anything with each other. Racism still happens in today’s society, and is completely wrong. “Ants are so much like human beings as to be an embarrassment. They farm fungi, raise aphids as livestock, launch armies into war, use chemical sprays to alarm and confuse enemies, capture slaves, engage in child labor, exchange information ceaselessly. They do everything but watch television.” This was a famous quote as well from Lewis Thomas

Feline Herpes Virus 1 is a highly contagious virus among cats, also known as Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis. It is one of the most common causes of upper respiratory infections and colds in cats.

The fibers flatten and twist naturally as they dry. There are different species of Cotton - Gossypium hirsutum, Gossypium barbadense, Gossypium herbaceum and Gossypium arboreum, the

Abstract: In this experiment, I want to investigate the effectiveness of different organocides in their ability to kill garden pests. I am interested in testing this because all of the organocides claim to be organic pesticides. This means they are safe for use on plants and contain natural ingredients. Since they are made with all natural ingredients and do not contain any harmful chemicals, I want to see how that will affect their ability to kill insects. My investigation will expand knowledge
