Fern Hill

analysing these two poems we can observe that “Fern Hill” by Dylan Thomas and “Let’s go to Barry Island, Maggie fach” by Idris Davies have many similarities as well as many differences. This can be seen during many occasions throughout both poems. In both poems the two main themes are people and places. In the poem “Fern Hill” the theme of people is revealed in the first stanza as Dylan Thomas personifies “Time” so that the reader thinks that “time” is a person. Dylan Thomas presents the theme of places for the first time in the title as it states “Fern Hill”. Fern Hill is a farm in Wales. Similarly Idris Davies introduces the theme of places in the title as it says “Let’s go to Barry Island, Maggie fach”. The place that Idris Davies…

In the poems “Fern Hill” by Dylan Thomas and “in-Just” by e. .e cummings they focus largely on the concepts of growing up. The concept of losing one’s innocence is shown in both of these poems through the realizations in the last stanzas. That is when both of the authors realized that the innocence has been lost and things are not as they once thought that they were. Both of the authors told stories of their past to exemplify this, both poems I believe are written from the perspective of an…

The moss Physcomitrella patens is an attractive model system for plant biology and functional genome analysis.(1-7) It shares many biological features with higher plants (vascular plants) but has the unique advantage of an efficient homologous recombination system for its nuclear DNA.(2,3) This allows precise genetic manipulations and targeted knockouts to study gene function, an approach that due to the very low frequency of targeted recombination events is not routinely possible in any higher…

For this assignment I interviewed Todd Metevia the Head grower at Timbuk Farms in Granville, Ohio. Timbuk Farms is a retail and wholesale grower and distributor. The crop I decided to question about was Coleus. They produce plugs of Coleus that are then sold wholesale to other nurseries. Coleus (Plectranthus scutellarioides) is a commonly grown ornamental plant due to its attractive foliage. Coleus is native to subtropical and tropical areas of Asia and Australia. Although not grown for flowers…

A hundred million years ago a dark green, feeble Lexovisaurus emerged from a shiny, white egg. This Lexovisaurus’ name was Jacob, Jacob started walking towards a wet, lively fern plant. Jacob was obviously hungry after spending weeks in an egg so he immediately started eating. His small brothers came to eat the same fern plant because they were all born in the same nest. Lexovisaurus looked a lot like Stegosaurus but Lexovisaurus had more spikes. While the baby Lexovisaurus were eating, a bulky…

Coriander is a spice that comes from the seed of the cilantro plant. Though it was originally grown in Iran, coriander now grows wild over most of Western Asia and a Southern Europe. The earliest evidence of coriander is in Neolithic cave dwellings. King Tutankhamun's tomb is said to have contained flowers from the coriander plant. It was known to be grown in Greece, too, first starting in the early BCs. In early history, it was often used as a perfume. Coriander was taken to America in 1670 by…

Who’s the better reproducer? With time comes change and with change comes evolution. Organisms are classified into three distinctive groupings: Bacteria, Archea, and Eukarya and the kingdom of plants (Plantae) falls under Eukarya. It could be argued that plants are one of the most valued organisms on Earth. Not only do they provide oxygen for the oxygen dependant organisms, such as mammals through the process of photosynthesis, but, they also provide stable conditions and habitats for other…
