Bountiful

After the death of his parents, Jim Burden is sent to live with his grandparents in Nebraska. Not only is this sudden grieving moment life-changing, but he is also thrown into a new environment: “There was nothing but land: not a country at all, but the material out of which countries are made. No, there was nothing but land…” (Cather 11). This use of imagery to describe this landscape is also a form of symbolize. Furthermore, Jim’s description of himself feeling “erased, blotted out” represents…

The Strawberry Poison-Dart Frog (Dendrobates pumilio, as well as, Oophaga pumilio) are very small, slender, dioecious, bilateral symmetric ("Poison frogs", 2003; Sandmeier, 2001; Savage, 2002; Penner 2011, n.p.) creatures that normally reach 17-24 mm in length with four, digits on their hands and feet. These frogs have dark eyes and their skin is very dewy with a gleamy appearance (Penner 2011, n.p.) and tend to vary in colors –strawberry-red, yellow, white, green, orange all mostly with black…

stated by the writer, leaving this up to the director and the actor. The tempo and rhythm of this piece altered, although it still flowed. In stark contrast to Aarons powerful dictation, Alison Mears scenes were filled with diligence, vibrancy and bountiful energy. Therefore, I adopted a proud, upright posture, to present her as a confident character. The set was fairly blank; however, three chairs were placed upstage and Alison was placed next to her long-time…

farms. Although numerous people used the Homestead Act to acquire farms for resale, Merritt planned on staying and, similar to most of the farmers in the area, raised wheat as a cash crop. Small grains grew well in the virgin South Dakota soil and bountiful yields came off his fields. During harvest-time, he shared a railcar with a neighboring farmer, George Johnston and, after filling the car with wheat, shipped it to the flour mills in…

exhibit how Americans have devolved into materialists. Unfortunately, the current definition of success in the contemporary United States focuses on the acquisition of tangible goods and wealth. The American Dream was associated with the promise of a bountiful life for immigrants and their descendants with the only caveat being that hard work was necessary to achieve it. In the modern day, the American Dream reflects the narcissistic personalities of the upcoming generation. According to Twenge,…

1941 marked the beginning of Operation Barbarossa; the largest military operation in history. Operation Barbarossa was Nazi Germany’s invasion of the Soviet Union during World War II. This paper will analyze the extent to which Operation Barbarossa was unsuccessful. The assessment will only focus on Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia between the years of 1941-1942.

had his own cows could give milk to a doctor in exchange for some medicine. In fact, this manner of give and take was used during prehistoric times when hunter-gatherers roamed America. Tribes from one area where, for example, salt and bison were bountiful might trade those goods with another tribe who had plenty of corn and cotton to give away. This part of history really captured my attention when I was younger and I still find the idea intriguing. I think this concept is brilliant and makes…

“Kanju” is a term discussed in “The Bright Continent” that is translated as a certain type of innovation that has come from the difficulties Africa has faced due to poverty. In her eyes, the youth of Africa is one of the keys to prosperity and a bountiful future. For Africa to ultimately escape their poor traps, they have to leave the formal systems behind and improve and expand their informal systems.

industry. Farmers in rural South America were growing cocoa because it was the only way they could grow crops and make a living. Any other crop that could be grown cost too much to grow and export, whereas by growing cocoa they could make quick, bountiful yields and sell the raw product without having to pay for transport. The master behind the South American cocaine empire was none other than the infamous Pablo Escobar. Escobar combined with other large players in the cocaine industry to…

Humanity’s relationship with nature periodically shifts between symbiotic and parasitic. We feed off nature in order to survive, and in exchange, we carefully monitor how our behavior affects the environment and the organisms within it. Responsibility is the price we pay for dominance and sentience. To help fulfill this duty, the United States government established the Wilderness Act in 1954 with the intention of becoming passive “guardians” of nature instead of encroaching “gardeners.”…
