She walked them to the booth Basil had pointed at. “Do you want the sugar fluff, the peppermints, or the sour hard candies?” “The sugar fluff?” Basil requested. “I want the sour candies!” Sage piped up. “Sour stuff is yummy, yummy yum yummy, like lemons and limes and a bit like oranges!” “How much is the sugar fluff and the sour candies?” Nettle asked the young man running the booth. “A quarter credit per pound for

Initially, when it came, my first thoughts were, “Stinging nettles…you mean the things that caused me so much pain when playing hide-and-seek in the woods as a child? What can they be good for?” To my surprise, stinging nettles can be used to treat joint pain, arthritis, urinary problems and hay fever (allergic rhinitis). (I must admit that since I started drinking nettles tea, I have not taken my allergy medicine. The scientist
The poem ‘Nettles’ and ‘Born yesterday have many similarities in how they represent the difficulty in a parent and child relationship; in ‘Born yesterday’ the extended metaphor is based around the idea that to achieve happiness one must not thrive for perfection or happiness will never be accomplished. “Nothing uncustomary to pull you off your balance” supports the extended metaphor of how happiness is achieved. Philip Larking (PL) uses enjambment to show that the course of life is continuous and
Gate Cult was founded in the early 1970’s by Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles. Applewhite was recovering, under the care of his nurse Ms. Nettles, when he claimed to have has a near death experience.

In order to gain supporters/followers Applewhite and Nettles began by opening a specialty bookstore. The bookstore was greatly unsuccessful
The poem Nettles, written by Vernon Scannell, consists of a single stanza, it has alternate rhyming lines. The poem seems to be a narrative account, focused on the perspective of a father who has viewed an accident involving his son. The poem, The Manhunt, is made up of a series of couplets, which are mostly unrhymed. The poem describes the phases of the wife’s search for answers from her injured husband who has recently returned battered and broken from the Bosnian War. The poem seems to end when
Nettles and Catrin present parent-child relationships in different ways, possibly as a result of the authors’ personal experiences. The father in Nettles tries to protect his son from any pain and danger the world throws at him. In Catrin, there is too a parent-child relationship between the mother and daughter, but at times it seems strained and fraught with conflict. Firstly, Vernon Scannell uses imagery to personify the natural world as harsh, as if it is at war with the boy and ultimately his

beliefs of the cult itself. The Heaven’s Gate Cult is one of thousands of millennial cults and UFO- based cults throughout the world. It has existed for over 22 years now.

“A cult is a religious or semi-religious sect whose members are controlled almost entirely by a single individual or by an organization.” (“What”). Families are forced to leave their homes and life behind by a dream that the cult will take them to bigger and better places. Some of these cults also cost these members their lives. There is always that question of why they do it because it is far from believable. These leaders are manipulators dragging in their pray in like flies. Heaven’s Gate is a

Philosopher Eric Hoffer believes that the fanatic mind needs something to worship. A fanatic mind will not only worship the idea or object that it is being directed to, but sacrifice all for the impossible dream. A fanatic mind is one that desirers an obsession for something.

He also points the theory of how these traits have evolved over time. From my particular interest is the question of

To explore the ways in which the poets present relationships, I selected three different poems: ‘Nettles’ by Vernon Scannell; ‘Praise Song for my Mother’ by Grace Nichols; and ‘Harmonium’ by Simon Armitage. Each of these poems develops relationships, but all show a different relationship between an offspring and a Parent. To understand these different perspectives of relationship, it is important to understand the culture from which these came from. Simon Armitage is from England, Marsden which

At its peak, this group recruited over one-hundred members who all believed in Applewhite’s theory that the world was going to be “recycled,” ending all human life on Earth.2 The cause that drove these members to commit suicide was Applewhite’s promise
