Prairies

Soil is one of the most diverse habitats on Earth and it contains one of the most diverse arrays of living organisms, but soil is still one of the most poorly researched habitats of our planet. Invertebrates are the majority of the living organisms found in the soil habitat and even make up 95-97% of all animal species. These animals are characterized and known for lacking a backbone. There are many living organisms in the soil. This is called biodiversity. Without biodiversity, life on Earth would

In November 1933, the worst drought in the history of the United States occurred across the Great Plains. The farming economy had already been hit hard by the depression and these storms created even more devastation. This large area of the plains became tagged with the name the “Dust Bowl”. Also known as “the dirty thirties” the dust bowl affected many farmers and their families in the Southwest/Midwest. The dust clouds caused by wind erosion, drought, and hardships led to a turning point not only

continually outsmarts man. These examples have been exemplified throughout the text and history to help prove that nature is indeed more powerful than man. Firstly, nature was a principal cause of the Great Depression. The story takes place in the Prairies of Canada in the 1930s, a time of economic crisis for the majority of the area’s inhabitants. This includes Paul and Ellen, the story’s main characters. There was a great drought caused by nature which put a halt on agricultural production and thus

stage, every stem produces flowers for two to three years. They can grow to be one or two feet tall. Habitats include slightly moist to dry tall grass and upland prairies. Soil conditions in these habitats range from acid and nutrient poor in Missouri. Conservation efforts include delaying haying until September, periodic burning of prairies, and rotational grazing. In the past, Mead’s milkweed was throughout much of Missouri. It is presently found in the Osage Plains region and the St. Francois mountains

WIRES Wires by Philip Larkin is an analogy of a society trapped by rules and limits and a demonstration that fear prevents humankind from following their desires. Larkin writes this poem in 1950 with the idea of showing his point of view of the world. In the poem the cattles are trapped by the wires imposed, preventing them from ever reaching their search for purer water. He shows that the world offers no hope nor mercy whatsoever in their trial for escape. What the poet is actually trying

realise their support and never ending love for us. During the first verse, Armitage uses the tape measure as a key symbol to show the “Unreeling years” between the mother and son. The tape measure literally measures the “acres of the walls” and “prairies of the floors” but symbolically it is the timeline of the mother and son’s relationship, shows the distance growing

bountiful. Manitoba is a province of prairies in which family households were once able to grow and maintain their own food supplies. Fresh produce, grains, herbs, and even milk were produced at home. Production levels had been based on personal and communal need. Food security was sustained successfully through hard work, trading, and local sales. This self sustainability didn’t last forever in Manitoba’s history as eventually suburban cities were built across the prairies of Manitoba, governmental control

The story “The Lamp At Noon” is set in the 1930s while the “Dust Bowl” occurred. The “Dust Bowl” was when in the Prairies the drought and winds were so intense that farmers could not grow crops and the wind made the air hard to see through because of all the dust “the dust was thickening to an impenetrable fog” (73). The setting provided physical isolation to Ellen

In 1821, a merger of two parties was arranged, and the British Parliament extended the company's privileges to include the Northwest Territories. Bringing together the different businesses required changes in the administrative structure of the new company. British North America was divided into trading departments, which were then divided into districts. District managers met annually in council meetings arranged by the governor in North America. These councils passed regulations governing local

the police’s favour, to make them turn a blind eye on their shady business deals. With the police’s eye’s clouded by the lobbying Baker company, the company could get the ball rolling on the government’s order to exterminate the Indians from the Prairies. By withholding food, resulting in starvation and then finishing them off with the tainted food to kill them off. It was a master strategy, they would either die from starvation or the second-rate food. As well the one’s who would hold the law and
