My third hypothesis is that the Member’s Mark will hold the most pennies when it is dry because Member’s Mark is two-ply and appears the thickest. PROCEDURE To prepare for both experiments I will acquire five brands of toilet paper, rubber bands, and a stopwatch from local stores. There is no control group for any of the experiments because I am comparing brands of toilet paper.
The ambrosia beetle used in this experiment will be Euwallacea sp, otherwise known as the PSHB jeopardizing many tree species in Southern California. Two tree species will be used in this experiment. Koelreuteria paniculata, the golden-rain tree, will be used as an example of a gumming tree and Persea americana, the avocado tree, will be used as the positive control for this experiment as it is a known species of tree endangered by the PSHB/Fusarium complex. The negative control would be a healthy, uninfected golden-rain tree. A total of 26 trees of each species will be assessed in order to perform reliable statistical analyses on the results obtained and to maintain a controlled number of specimens to ensure repeatability and reliability: 25 of each tree will be directly involved in the experiment and 1 of each will be the positive and negative controls.
Few things are as enchanting as late summer, when the days are long and warm and berries grow ripe. Blackberries are the subject of poet Galway Kinnell’s poem Blackberry Eating, in which he discusses the richness of blackberries and uses them to describe his fondness of words. He gives meaning to his own words through the use of musical devices including imagery, repetition, connotation, and syntax. Throughout Kinnell’s poem, the speaker makes extensive use of imagery.
Some small acts, can change a country. In the magazine article “Forgotten Fruits”, the author, Rowan Jacobsen wrote about the Common Ground Country Fair and John Bunker who brings various apples back to America that made American great. Bunker put different types of apples on display. Then the author introduced information about the apple’s history and also shared about plant apples. The author starts to tell about John Bunker’s story with apples.
Adults teach children through songs and in the poem “Blackberry Eating” by Galway Kinnell that is exactly what the speaker is doing. The speaker of the poem is teaching the reader his love of words by comparing them to his love of blackberries. Kinnell utilizes this through several musical devices such as onomatopoeia, repetition, and alliteration. Onomatopoeia is used in the line “the stalks very prickly, a penalty” to show the harsh vines the blackberries grow on and the painful experience it can be to pull them off—a harsh consequence for the splendid fruit. This compares to the struggle it can be to find the right word, but when the perfect word is inserted into a sentence it soars.
Our first assignment is to compare two websites that contain the same information but are designed to appeal to two different audiences. The first audience is directed towards the general public and the other is directed more towards people who are professional and want more details about what they are doing. I wanted to learn how to grow an avocado tree. I compared the website HGTV (http://www.hgtvgardens.com/guac-n-roll-grow-an-avocado-tree) and Texas A&M Agrilife (http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/fruit-nut/files/2015/04/avocados_2015.pdf) HGTV’s primary target is for an ordinary person to learn the basics on how to grow an avocado tree. The secondary audience for HGTV’s website may be someone who wants to learn more basic information
Francie Nolan, Malala Yousafzai, and Sonia Sotomayor all faced many adversities throughout their childhood and early adult years. Francie had to face many obstacles that stood in the way of her commitment toward self- actualization. Alcoholism, poverty, and a hard time building relationships with friends in her new school served as obstacles she had faced. All of these adversities helped her adapt to a life of hardship. Francie had to find and hand in scrap and junk to get pennies.

In the poem "Blackberry-Picking," Seamus Heaney uses metaphor, imagery and juxtaposition in order to convey the description and deeper meaning of his experience picking blackberries. First, Heaney uses metaphors in order to describe his excitement of seeing the ripe berries. He states, "At first, just one, a glossy purple clot." He states that the blackberries look like a clot in order to convey the one thing he has been waiting for the whole season. He uses the word glossy in order to emphasize that this berry is important and almost to satisfy his anticipation.
Starch solution is then placed into the test tube at a quantity of 5 mL. 5 drops of Lugol’s Iodine solution is added to the test tube. If the color changes, then it is known that starches are present in the solution. Proteins are next tested. In order to do this, 5 mL of gelatin solution is added to the test tube. 10 drops of Biuret’s reagent are added to test for protein.
In the poem “Blackberry-Picking,” author Seamus Heaney uses imagery, diction, and metaphor in order to describe the narrator’s experience while picking blackberries with someone. Heaney uses imagery throughout the poem. He begins in the first stanza, line three when he describes one of the blackberries, “At first, just one, a glossy purple dot.” This clarifies the ripeness and desirability of the blackberry. The following line, “Among others, red, green, hard as a knot,” describes the blackberries that are less than desireable; the unripe ones.
Do the same for the other test tubes. Let the test tubes not be disturbed for about 3- 4 mins. Then add the Amylase solution to the Starch solution and start the stopwatch (immediately). After every 1 min take one drop from the test tubes and place then in the test plate that were
The data used in this experiment is the average of all the plants height, and does not count the length of the roots. This is because the averages will provide a more even set of data because not all plants are exactly the same and due to genetic variation some may grow higher or shorter than others. The data being analysed is the height it grew from when the hormones was placed on the plant (day 4), this is to ensure that if a plant grew taller or shorter than the others from day 0 till day 4 it would still be accurate when comparing to the other tests. Primary Data: In this experiment the average growth ranges from 0.7cm to 10.2cm in six days from when the hormones were placed on the plants for dicots, and 5.9cm to 10.4cm from when the hormones were placed on the plants for monocots.
This experiment has to be carried out carefully
Cherry Blossom “It was the end of summer and the leaves were falling off the cherry trees. Countless shades of pink and white fell almost like rain, in their journey towards the ground. Maybe it was fate, or maybe it was luck. Or pure coincidence that it would happen on a day like this.” He said.
