Essays on Garden

I was looking forward to this year’s Humanics Action Day, and it turned out great. I wanted to mow a lawn and do some gardening. Nature has always fascinated me, and I always feel joyous when I am taking a stroll on a well-manicured lawn with flowers dotting the landscape. I wanted to be part of making a senior citizen’s lawn and garden look trim and tidy. The gardening was fun. I was in the company of a colleague, and we started by planting some bougainvillea and lily flowers on a small garden at the centre of the lawn. I did not ...

Having the chance to do a painting on your own is a form of expression of your being and your imagination. Sometimes, it creates an illusion for its viewers and to engage them with the painting itself. In terms of art medium, oil on canvass would be the most efficient coloring medium to utilize.

Building a garden ecosystem enhances biodiversity since it attracts a host of wildlife and provides them with food and a safe habitat for living and reproducing. Such an ecosystem also benefits the environment by limiting air, water and soil pollution. It also regulates local atmospheric temperature and flow of water. Specific types of garden ecosystems also allow for organic farming that permits the production of healthier ...

The rock I found was gray in color and appeared to be silky in the sun. As I checked the internet to identify the kind of rock I found, I learned that it was slate. This kind of rock is found in some garden in my neighborhood, with some used as slate gravel while others as stepping stones. Not far from my house, I saw a house with slate as its roof.

Question 2.

In reading the stories “Hills like White Elephants” and “The Unicorn in the Garden”, the authors Ernest Hemmingway and James Thurber have introduced strong symbolisms. The first aspect to strike when reading both these stories is how the characters themselves are symbolic of life and death. In “Hills Like white Elephants”, the girl Jig, symbolizes life. She is the one who wants to have a baby. She wants to break away from the life of staleness where all she and her husband ever do is “look at things and try new drinks”. Instead she wants to welcome life – a baby (which she ...

Considering the effects of cover crop and intercropping on garden settings

1. Introduction 1.1 Background Sustainable agricultural production systems, otherwise known as agroecosystems, employ a variety of techniques to maintain environmental quality. Cover crops are one strategy used by growers to preserve and enhance soil resources because of their impacts on soil-nutrient dynamics (such as nitrogen and carbon fixation)and microbiological functions (Steenworth and Belina, 2008). Cover crops such as cereal grass, hairy vetch, and oilseed radish, manage problems in an agroecosystem such as soil quality, erosion and fertility, water quality, pests and weeds because they tend to be less resource intensive than other crops and instead contribute to ...

Now make three new wishes, one in each of these categories (you, someone else, the world). Discuss your reasoning behind each of your choices.

Urban Farming is a new methodology of introducing farming to cities and to the urban landscape, particularly on top of buildings where it can be positioned conveniently for enough sun exposure and soil placement. Such examples include Brooklyn Grange Urban Farm and the roof garden in the Waldorf Astoria. Both exemplify that farming activities can be done in urban places. I have observed several differences between the two urban farms. It can also be contested that Waldorf Astoria is more like a garden than a farm due to its smaller scale compared to the urban farm in Brooklyn. And also, the ...

The various foodstuffs, liquids and other substances that were tested for their basicity or acidity include; lemon juice, sprite, milk, green tea and shampoo.

The Japanese Garden

Culture is a set of traditions, habits, values, and norms that a group of people share. That is as basic as definition goes. What it implies though is that culture is intricate, deeply-rooted in a person or nation's psyche, and is quite definitive of a people group's identity. Unfortunately for the outsider, like an entire language to be learned, a group of people's culture takes tremendous amount of time to learn - a lifetime would not be an exaggeration. But for the person who marries as foreigner, or for a merchant wanting to expand overseas, a lifetime is a little too long for such an endeavor. How ...

Stourhead is one such place with varied history connected with all its buildings and land features. Anyone moving around can connect with the story behind its different landscapes and get a taste of the very rich culture that ...

As far back as Western thought dates, thinkers have endeavored to define, or create a framework for what they term as The Ideal Society. Such an undertaking presupposes an understanding of human nature, which endeavors to understand what brings an individual person happiness and contentment and how can a society be structured to maximize that. For me an ideal societ is one where people are free to do what they believe will bring them happiness. My name is Joyce Huang, I am the creator of the Utopia named City Garden.

Gallantly seated on a seemingly striding horse was the statue of George Washington at the Boston Pubic Garden.

He is donned in a military outfit of his time with the prominent sergeant hat, an overcoat, and a sword protruding from his vestment. His right arm was slightly positioned ...

I concur with the author of this post that affluenza is actually a disease that we need get rid of as a society. I like the manner in which the author quotes George Washington’s relation to modern affluenza. I concur that the founders of our nation set a precedence of affluenza. In my analysis, I find the criticism from Carl Marx on affluenza as a great attempt to tame the habit that many of America’s founders exhibited. Marx asserted that “too many useful goods create too many useless people”. Like the author of this post, I too noticed some instances in ...

Choosing the Topic

Instead of coming up with the appropriate topic as the teacher, I felt that it was best to select a topic by first understanding what the children’s interests were, and this would be through an assessment of their conversations, drawings, observations, questions and parental reports. Most of the children were interested in pets that they had at home, and a majority of the pets that interested them were dogs. Their conversations and drawings revolved around their pets. I realized that this would be a relevant topic for investigation because it would focus on the following vital aspects of children growth and ...

They were the only two of their kind in the forest; the story in part describes the snails to have been the “aristocratic race in the world.” This only shows how noble the two white snails were, ...

Abstract

Trichomonas gallinae, a flagellated protozoan, adversely affects the avian livestock, particularly the columbids. It causes an infection called necrotic ingluvitis and the disease can range from asymptomatic to lethal.

The sick dead birds exhibited signs of malaise such as lethargy and fluffed-up ...

Gender roles and gender-related stereotypes are often depicted in literary works. For example, Shakespeare’s play “Macbeth” could be considered misogynistic because it promotes the stereotype that women are the root of all evil, manipulate men for their selfish needs, and create chaos because all female characters in the play show that form of behavior. On the other hand, it is also possible to notice the lack of stability and logic in the main character Macbeth who is depicted as a naïve, indecisive, and dependent character. In “Candide,” it is possible to notice that Voltaire depicts the vulnerability and ...

Compare and contrast Laura and Rose, the two main characters in ‘The Garden Party’ and ‘Half a Grapefruit.’

Despite their differences, Laura and Rose have a lot in common. In both stories they are young girls who are faced with the reality of death at an early age. The way Mansfield and Munro write the stories is also similar: first person narrative is not used, but each story is clearly told from the central character’s point of view: in ‘The Garden Party’ we see everything through Laura’s eyes; in ‘Half a Grapefruit’ Rose’s consciousness filters what we hear and see as readers.

‘The Garden Party’, we assume, is set in New Zealand; ‘Half a Grapefruit’ in Canada. ...
