Soils:
Qatar being a desert environment, most people think that it is not possible to grow plants there. This is not the case. There are 5 different soil types to consider throughout Qatar:
● Rawdha soils: these soils have a small amount of organic matter, low water retention properties and poor structural properties. Also, rawdha soils give rise to surface crusting which interferes with the plant-air-water relationship and inhibits the emergence of seedlings.
● sabhka soils: are soils that are made of sand.. Most of that sand in these soils is driven by wind, which makes it structurally unstable and unsafe for travelers.
● Lithosols: The most common soil in the region. Relatively shallow, 10-30 cms in depth and are a calcareous sand loam, covered with rock debris, overlying a layer of rock fragments over limestone bedrock.
● Marine fill: was used a lot in the creation of Doha.
The sandy nature of the soils makes them difficult to build on due to them being less structurally stable than other soils. This is important to consider when developing. There is also simosa limestone present on the site. The limestone bedrock consists of light brown to light greyish pink and red. The limestone is moderately weak to strong. Strength can vary depending on amount of rainfall.
Wildlife:
There are many different species that live in Qatar. There seems to not be a lot due to the harsh environmental conditions but there actually is quite a few species of wildlife that call Qatar home. There are some mammals but there are also a lot of insects like spiders.
● Mammals:

1. Irony is a useful device for giving stories many unexpected twists and turns. In Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour," irony is used very effectively in her story. Situational irony is used to show the reader what is assumed to happen sometimes doesn't. Dramatic irony is used to hint to the reader something is happening to the characters in the story that they do not know about. Irony is used throughout Chopin's "The Story of an Hour" through the use of situational irony and the use of dramatic irony.
Mississippi has a variety of different soils .The three general soils are 1) the river flood plain, known as the Delta, 2) a loess region, or bands of soils formed in windblown material that adjoins the Delta, and 3) Coastal Plain. The Mississippi Delta is better for growing row crop, while the loess and Coastal Plain region are better for animal production and forestry. The loess and Coastal Plain regions are divided based on similar soils, geology, climate, water resources, and land use called Major Land Resource Areas. The Mississippi Delta’s soil comes from sediments left by flooding various rivers in the region, rather than being a typical Delta formed by the mouth of a river. In the Delta most of the land is farmed, with three-fourths of the cropland to the north. Controlling surface water and drainage are major soil management issues. In the Delta soils are naturally diverse because of their alluvial origin. Particle sizes within the sediment decrease as distance from the originating stream increase. Another factor in Delta soil formation us surface water movement over time, because soils that formed under standing water have different properties than soils formed under moving water. Soils with large amounts of clay particles have unique features. When the soil is dry, small round aggregates form at the surface that look like shotgun buckshot, which is where the popular name for Delta clay soils “buckshot” came from. Soils with large clay content have very slow water filtration rates; this has led to significant aquaculture and rice production in the region. When floodwaters receded in the Delta, strong winds blew some of the dry sediment left by flooded river to the adjacent uplands to form the loess areas. Because of eas...

Irony, that incongruity between what is expected and what actually occurs, is the technique used by writers to engage and surprise their audience as well as open them up to new ideas. Oedipus the King and The Story of an Hour are two completely different stories that use irony to develop the plot teach a lesson. This shows that irony transcends time and culture to be a universal theme.
“When the doctors came they said she had died of heart disease--of the joy that kills.” This is the most ironic and final line in Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin. Story of an Hour tells the story of Mrs. Mallard, a woman who recently found her husband died in a train accident, final hour alive. After hearing the news of her husband death, Mrs. Mallard goes to her bedroom to grieve, but realizes the freedom she now has from his death. This new found freedom is shortly lived when she finally realizes her husband is not actually dead. I am going to demonstrate the literary devices irony and symbolism is used in this story.
As the title puts it, “The Story of an Hour” takes place in the span of an hour. The title of the story also shows the possibility of occurrences within a single hour. This story is mostly centered around one woman, Louis Mallard. In conventional circumstances, death brings sorrow, grief, seclusion, guilt, regrets, along with other feeling depending on the cause of death. In “The Story of an Hour”, sorrow and grief are a product of the recent happenings, however, these feelings are coupled with joy and independence. Kate Chopin uses this story to convey death as a joyful circumstance whereas conventionally it is portrayed as sorrowful.
In The Story of an Hour, Kate Chopin alters the narrator’s tone in order to both provide her character’s ironic thoughts and feelings and to prevent the reader from expecting Mrs. Mallard’s ironic end. This is accomplished through the use of descriptive terms and phrases with strong, emotional connotations. Not only were the descriptive terms used, but what they were used to describe were also indications of shifts in the narrator’s tone. The tone’s color also alters with Mrs. Mallard’s emotional state. The emotional tones are used in order to display Mrs. Mallard’s internal shift from the expected grief associated with losing one’s spouse to the joy that provides the reader with this story’s irony. Emotional tones, however, are not the only tones present.

“The Story of An Hour” contains symbols and uses situational irony to encourage the reader to give more thought to the meaning of the story. Symbols used here lead us to believe the main character longs for her own person freedom, which is true for women in the real world during this same time period. Again the theme of freedom is brought up at the end with the use of situation irony. Chopin could have easily been inspired by events taking place in her personal life when all women had a lack of freedom compared to males in the same
The short story, “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin, is a deeply symbolic piece, full of clever irony to play upon the themes of self-assertion and liberation. The primary forms of irony employed by most writers are verbal irony, dramatic irony, situational irony, and the occasional irony of fate, also known as cosmic irony. In “The Story of an Hour,” Chopin uses dark dramatic and situational irony to craft this tale of a long-suffering wife who celebrates her newfound sense of independence after her husband's death, then dies from the shock of discovering he is still alive. While the repetitive theme of the emotional bliss of freedom versus the agony of repression plays out, the irony facilitates many twists and turns that take place
Irony can often be found in many literary works. “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin is masterfully written full of irony. The characters of the short story, Mrs. Mallard, Josephine, Richards, Mr. Brently Mallard, and the doctors all find their way into Chopin’s ironic twists. Chopin embodies various ironies in “The Story of an Hour” through representations of verbal irony, dramatic irony, and situational irony.
"The Story of an Hour", was written and narrated by Kate Chopin. Chopin utilized an omniscient point of view, while exhibiting various types of irony throughout the story. The story takes place in the 19th century, an era when it was acceptable for men to regulate their wives. The setting is in a house where a discontented housewife is restricted. Women were obligated to take care of their domicile and care for the children--this was their primary purpose as a wife. The story focuses on the reaction and emotions of Mrs. Mallard, the protagonist in the story who learns of the death of her spouse.
