Essays on Tree

One of the most fundamentally important literary devices used to develop a short story is the element of pathos, or the empathy that the reader feels for the characters of the story. Without pathos, the reader is not engaged with the characters of the story, and is left apathetic to the eventual outcome of the storyline. Without characters that engage the reader in some way-- whether their existence drives the storyline or not-- the reader is left without any kind of emotional connection to the story. This is especially true for short stories, as they must convey significant actions, Continue reading...

In order to comment on the significant use of illustrations with reference to their textual matter and explain the relationship between them and I have chosen two works: “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein and “Hana’s Suitcase” by Karen Levine.

Introduction:

Phylogenetic tree also known as evolutionary tree depicts the connection between various species of animals and plants based on their physical and genetic traits. Top points of the trees symbolize descendent common species whereas nodes symbolize common ancestor of descendents. Phylogenetic trees very effectively show the evolution that took place by adaptive and sudden ancestry splits. The Phylogenetic trees can be classified mainly in four types rooted tree, un-rooted tree, bifurcating tree and special tree types.

The basal universal phylogenetic tree inferred from comparative analyses of rRNA sequences.

In many cases one sees people been called upon to volunteer in planting trees in various places. One may volunteer without even been called upon since there are various benefits associated with tree planting. Ever since man set foot on earth, the environment has never been the same again. It is worse if one considers the advancing technology and the human population that is rendering more harm in the environment. Many may not understand in details the benefits of tree either in the community park or anywhere else. This paper analyzes how volunteering to plant trees in a community Continue reading...

Though there is no way to track such things, one very widely asked philosophical question that rings throughout high school and college classrooms as well as bars and dinner time conversation is “If a tree falls in the forest and there’s no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?” The question in itself is not complicated but its answer says much about the worldview of the respondent. Of course, no one argues that a person’s presence affects a falling tree—it emits the same sound waves whether or not there is someone to detect Continue reading...

My mother taught me that there are a million ways to love a tree, and in my youth I loved in each of them. I didn’t understand singular, monogamous love; I loved each tree I came across with abandon, tripping up into her branches if she were large enough, or sitting in his shade if he were still young, curled up with a book, often breathing in sunny summer air that is now tinted with the sepia color of memory.
She taught me to climb, my mother, and immediately regretted it. I was a terror on the ground Continue reading...

The novel stardust is full of symbolism and perhaps the most conspicuous of which is the talking tree in the Forrest. The talking tree in the forest appears as a character in the novel stardust. The question thus arises as to the exact significance of this talking tree in the forest and exactly what it signifies or rather stands for. The question also arises as to the exact motivating factors which led the author to create this character of the talking tree in the forest and the significance of the character as well as the significance of the placing Continue reading...

Urban Forestry in the City Of Toronto

Urban forestry in the city of Toronto entails all trees of different species that have been grown within the boundaries of the city. The vegetation or trees that comprise the Toronto urban forestry are beneficial in many ways that encompass economic, cultural, social and ecological benefits. Moreover, the trees are useful in regulating air pollution and saving energy (because of moderating home and building air temperatures). The aforementioned value alone is pertinent to the city because it helps the government to save about $28million every year, which can potentially support other sectors of the economy and lead to the Continue reading...

If I were to be a tree, I would choose to be a fig tree. The fig tree is tough and hardy, and its natural habitat is the Middle East where climatic conditions are, usually, harsh (Howard and Goldena 34).

Distinguishing Two Forest Communities in North Jersey by Tree Density, Species, Dominance, Importance, Diversity and Richness

Abstract
This is a study undertaken to compare and contrast richness, dominance and importance of sixteen tree species between two tree communities. The sixteen tree species have been listed in the appendix at the end of this paper. This study is a continuation of what was done earlier by ecology students in their previous year of study. The methods applied are absolutely the same, in order to make collected data comparable with each other. The three specific factors studies are relative dominance, relative density, and relative importance of the species occurring in these two forest areas.

In all three versions of the hominid family tree, there are a number of similarities. Each tree must have an evolutionary origin and purpose and whilst the origin does seem to differ from tree to tree, the purpose seems to maintain a constant: Homo Sapiens are always the end point on each tree. Presumably, this is because our species has evolved this far to date and appears to have stayed still for about 200,000 years (Human Origins) whereas another site states 175,000 years (Becoming Human), and another states 100,000 years (PBS). This dispute is Continue reading...

It is expected that in the next one year, the high rates of unemployment currently being experienced in the United States will be on the decline which the rate of inflation is also expected to reduce. However, due to the political turmoil in the Middle East, it is expected that the price Continue reading...

Mountain pine beetle (MPB) (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) is a bark beetle that lays eggs within the vascular system of the mature trees of lodgepole pine (Pinus
contorta). First known epidemic infestation was recorded in 1994 in the forests of British Columbia (BC). Prior to 1994, the infestation was negligible, owing to the fact that extreme low temperatures of winter killed the beetle, thereby curbing the problem. In the past two decades, however, due to global warming the winter temperatures are not low enough to kill the beetle. This has escalated the problem of deforestation and thereby has unbalanced the Continue reading...

Wonderland was a village that nobody wanted to be associated with unless he or she had a unique magic. As the name suggests, this village was full of wonders and everything, people, animals, birds, trees and stones, was extraordinary. Every person who lived in this village had to be in possession of a certain charm in order survive.

1.0 Introduction

Christianity stands out from the rest of the many and diverse religious beliefs that exist in the world today. According to Buntin (nd) in the myriad of religious beliefs today the idea of salvation is common albeit being defined or even termed differently. The concept of salvation from all the religious beliefs implies reconciliation of humanity to God (deity). The basic principle is that the sin and wickedness of man has separated him from his maker thus the need for salvation. As earlier mentioned to many religions salvation means different things including oneness with deity, righteousness, perfect Continue reading...

Classification is the process of the assigning objects to one of the many predefined categories. There are many areas where this technique is applied. Many processes use classification algorithm to be able to categorize objects to one of the various categories. This paper will look at one model of categorizing objects. Generally, there are two models of categorizing objects, which are descriptive modeling and predictive modeling. In descriptive modeling, the model that is used for classification can be used to differentiate between objects that are found in different classes. On the other hand, a predictive modeling is a modeling Continue reading...

“The wind blew a leaf off of the tree.”

1.
Plato’s metaphysical position is the wind, a leaf, and the tree are mere copies of a perfect form of wind, leaf, and tree. There is in reality only one leaf -- leafness, one tree -- treeness -- on wind -- windness, and so on and so forth. What I see in the world is multiplicity but what holds the diversity of all that I see into a single unified world is made possible by a transcendent world of forms that is more perfect and real than this world. This world changes, which accounts for the wind blowing, Continue reading...

Abstract

Ecology, a scientific discipline based on ecosystem, interrelates organisms, vegetation, process and condition in nature. For ecological study of any landscape knowledge about structure of plant communities and role of soil is required. Knowledge of plant community is based on understanding of spatial relationships, abundance and diversity of plants or vegetation in that area. From the study of plant community and their associated edaphic or soil factors knowledge of vegetation patterns and species assemblage is developed. In a plant community it is very difficult to quantify number and distribution of all species and individuals, so techniques for obtaining representative Continue reading...

REPORT: Landscape Planning and Ecological Management: Plantation of bare root common trees.

Introduction
We often take trees and other flora, all around us, for granted maybe because almost all of us have seen trees and captured the word and their image deep inside our sub-consciousness. As we grow up, we learn about the benefits and advantages of trees parrot-fashion. No person or entity teaches us anything about the aesthetics so when we see captivating landscape photographs and images, we take in the beauty without taking in the trees. It is beyond this point that most of us change directions and go off towards modern, fast-process systems, which we then proceed to Continue reading...

I grew up on a farm. We had cattle, cows, horses, sheep, goats and a few hens for our supply of fresh eggs. Being able to be close to animals was I think one of the best experiences I ever had in my life. My love and passion for our farm animals was the best gift I ever had as a child. There was no time to feel bored or lonely. I did not have any brothers or sisters, yet even though I was the only child I can honestly say I never felt alone.
My mom used to Continue reading...

Graph Theory Assignment

- The sum of the degrees of all vertices of the graph = (2x3) + (6x4) = 30
- The edges in this graph are: AC, AF, AD, AB, CF, CD, BD, BF, BE, DH, EG, EH, FG, FH and GH. Therefore the total number of edges = 15
- Relationship between the sum of degrees of vertices and the number of edges in the graph:
Sum of degrees of vertices = 2 (number of edges)

- No. An Euler path does not exist for a graph with more than 2 odd vertices, by Euler’s Theorem. The explanation is as follows: Assume Continue reading...

The thoughts and writings of Aristotle and Descarte about reality are similar in the sense that both philosophers use the concept of substance to define what reality is. For Descartes, the infinite Substance is God, the bodies of persons are considered extended substances and the mind of the people is the thinking substance.
Aristotle (384-322 BCE) defines reality as that which is actually in this world. He believes that we attain our knowledge of reality based on perceptual experience. He categorizes substances as being “primary substances” and “secondary substances.” An example of primary substance is man or person. All Continue reading...
