Somebody embroidered the doily, waters the begonia and arranges the cans. I need that. I mean, everybody does.

It was late afternoon on a dreary Saturday when I first met William Westbrook. I'd spent the day helping out in my Aunt's little flower shop, The Boot. It sounded more like a bar, and I had in fact once been in a bar called The Boot. It had been dark and dingy and full of men who spent their entire afternoons washing their mornings away with cheap vodka, only to go home and wash their afternoons away with cheap whiskey. From the outside, this little flower shop didn't look much more than that.
I tore apart the kitchen to find the ingredients for making alum crystals and baking soda and vinegar volcanos. Outside, I’d pretend to play paleontologist in the dirt, and be a botanist with the begonias. This was all much to the dismay of my dear parents, who were never too thrilled to find vinegar on the floor, or the mud I tracked in after an unsuccessful dig. Consequently, my parents devised a plan to curb my habit of getting dirty, but to encourage
The Grateful Dead The Grateful Dead was a band that toured continuously for 30 years until the death of lead man Jerry Garcia. They were known for free flowing jams and bluegrass roots. Phish is a band that has toured consistently for the last 17 years and has in time made themselves into stealth multi-millionaires. Both are very talented bands, who have and in the Dead's case, had, created big names for themselves. Many people make wrongful association with these two groups of musicians. It
With the power that the internet has been able to retain within the last two decades, words are being introduced to the English language and added to the oxford dictionary on a yearly basis. However, there was a time where words were being borrowed from other counties as men began migrating and exploring different lands.

Elizabeth Bishop and Her Poem "Filling Station" Elizabeth Bishop's skill as a poet can be clearly seen in the thought- provoking poem entitled Filling Station. She paints the different language levels of poetry with the skill of an artist-- she seems to have an eye for detail as she contrasts the dark and dim reference of a filling station to a more homey, pleasant atmosphere. Bishop aptly arranges her words and expressions through the language devices of voice and metaphor. In Filling Station
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez “The tone that I eventually used in One Hundred Years of Solitude was based on the way my grandmother used to tell stories. She told things that sounded supernatural and fantastic but she told them with complete naturalness…. What was most important was the expression she had on her face. She did not change her expression at all when telling her stories and everyone was surprised. In previous attempts to write, I tried to tell the story
The average MLB player makes $1.5 millions per year (Bliss). There are a lot of opinions on whether athletes and actors are overpaid. Many feel they don’t deserve what they make and others feel they are well worth the millions they get. On average the better players of the MLB get between $two million and $twenty million a year (DeBlieux). Are they really worth that much? Many people think actors and athletes deserve their pay that they get because they entertain people and bring more money into
counter to greet the customer. When she made it around all the flowers she saw a figure in a blank canvas like trench coat and ducky-yellow rain boots. “Hi there, I am here to see your flowers! I am trying to decide wether or not the pink roses or the begonias would look better on me, what do you think?” Claudia looked the
The descriptive, vibrant language of Elizabeth Bishop transcends through time to appeal to every reader in all of her poems.

Bishop has a keen eye for detail and she transforms the visual images she observes into poetic language. She deals with a number of themes including death, loss, childhood, domesticity and the resilience of the human spirit. Bishop’s poems are rooted
Protecting the Endangered The beautiful species of the wild are being endangered more and more each day. Because of the increase of endangered wildlife society now faces several extinctions therefore, to prevent this problem, the government should pass laws or policies that provide greater protection and preservation, provide more information about endangered species, give more publicity to the issue and support charities. “An endangered species is one whose numbers are so small that it is at risk

"Impious wretch!" foamed the stranger, blackening in the face as the rainbow beamed, "I will publish your infidel notions." "Begonia! Move quickly! If quickly you can, you that shines forth into sight in moist times like the worm." The scowl grew blacker on his face; the indigo-circles enlarged round his eyes as the storm-rings round the midnight moon. He sprang upon me,
It’s just another sunny day in Glendale New Jersey, full of manicured lawns with white picket fences. Mrs. Bethel was out pruning her garden filled with begonias and prize winning tulips, and Mr. Johnson was outside enjoying the view, walking his black and white spotted poodle around the block. This is the norm in the sleepy town of Glendale. A place where everyone knows their neighbors name and the most exciting thing to happen is the annual bake sale at the Old Catholic church every October 15th
The Wasteland, based on the texts I have read, is a varied and diverse environment of barrenness and death. In my life, and in society today, the Wasteland is not much different; the barrenness is one of mind and soul, and we have the same lack of knowledge about death now that these authors did when recording their thoughts on paper. A hero is needed in this harsh environment, to guide the multitude, or merely set the example for all others to follow. Though few characters meet the qualifications
Investigating Into the Possible Existence of Distribution of Stomata Within Different Leaf Types The aim of my particular experiment was to investigate into the possible existence of distribution of stomata within different leaf types. My investigation also requires me to research into the rate of transpiration into the different leaf types and if this has an effect of the distribution of stomata on the leaves surface. Prediction I predict that the environment of which I found my particular
