Grand Trunk Road

In this paper I will discuss which trade routes were an essential part of globalization in the ancient world, thus including routes such as The Silk Road, The Grand Trunk Road, as well as Incense Road. There are many roads and paths discussed in ancient writings. These are used to not only move goods and products, but also to spread religions, messages, and ways of life. One main road is the Silk Road. The Silk road expands between around five empires; those ranging from The Roman Empire, Parthian Empire, Kushan Empire, Han Empire, and the Monadic confederation of Xiongnu (The Met, paragraph 1). This passageway was one of the longest in the world at that time, stretching from Greco-Roman areas, to the Tigris river, all the way to Mongolia as well as China (The Met, paragraph 2). Due to the large surface area that this road covered, the goods that were being produced were able to spread further and therefore demand for certain materials such as silk, began to grow. This was important in not only spreading silk which could only be produced in certain areas, but as well as languages and religious messages (The silk road in world history, pg. 20). Author and…

The book Have You Seen Trees? described different types of trees there are during each season, it reminded me of a time when I went to El Salvador during the summer with parents. El Salvador is my parent’s birthplace. The first time I went, the trees were really green, flowers were blossomed and the fruits were ready to be eaten. I was really fascinated by how tropical the country is with the different type of trees. In the beginning year in El Salvador, the first fruit to bloom is…

Have you ever wondered what a strong or weak tree would look like or act like? Some are wondering whether the tree in The Giving Tree poem is strong or weak. More people tend to lean more towards the strong side of the argument. The tree is strong because it gives away all of itself and still lives, and is always happy. The tree is strong because it gives away itself and still lives well. In the poem, she gives the boy everything that she has. When the boy was in need of money, she gave him her…

When thinking of a tree, it is easy to imagine a strong plant, established firmly into the soil, with a thick substantial trunk and vast outreaching branches. However, what does not typically come to mind is a scrawny seedling, with its new roots hardly ingrained into the soil. One with a toothpick of a trunk that is struggling to support itself. The fact of the matter is that every tremendous tree started as a measly sapling, but not every sapling is able to grow into a tree. The forest can be…

Look for branches breaking near the trunk, slits in the bark, woodpecker injury and chewed on foliage on ash trees. “EAB can wreak havoc in your cemetery, causing huge risk and budgetary issues. Spot EAB warning signs early. Or, you risk losing 15 to 30 percent of all the trees on your property within 3 to 5 years,” cautioned Borkowicz. If you spot a tree risk, call a trained arborist for help. “Preventive tree care can save thousands of dollars in potential damage or tree removal later on,”…

Malicious A twisted tree trunk protrudes out of the silt like earth, covered in crude knots and lanky dead branches; the trunk hovers over the small stretch of land it sits upon. The rough, callous bark of the foreboding tree a dark hazel splattered with sections of sunken grooves. A shadow casts upon the intruding tree, darkening the bottom section of the once splendid trunk to a sinister shade of black. The upper top half on the trunk splintered, as if its own structure and size had betrayed…

The cedars are known for their networks of strong roots which go deep beneath the ground, as well as their strong trunks which protect them from anything mother nature has in mind.

In the children’s book, “The Giving Tree” there are many life lessons displayed. The tree selflessly gave everything she had without taking a second thought; while they boy selfishly took everything the tree had to offer without thinking twice. The boy went the tree and said, “I want…” although he did not say he “needed” the things he received he treated it in that way. He should take life easier, and not let his life be ruled by his wants. If he would’ve let his love for the tree rule his life,…
