Grass

There are many possible reasons why anyone would be concerned about Jim's landscaping choices. His neighbors could be concerned about the flowers and grass spreading onto their nicely mowed lawns that they pay a lot of money for. They could also be concerned about how Jim’s prairie has no trees, and they would possibly want tress for their lawn to create shade. Also, in order to manage a prairie, it needs to be burned every year. This is a concern that could possibly be made by both the…

add, green grass and rolling hills would be beautiful in a landscape. Basically, I think of a landscape to make someone feel happy. My thoughts of a landscape are similar to van Gogh’s because he has buildings, houses and rolling hills in his landscape.

Also, in his landscape I can’t tell if there is any grass which leaves me thinking if there was grass or not.…

end as the end of the journey and for something else to happen. It also represents a boring routine because all streets look the same and are the same. The children as happy, joyful, and unique people, which is something opposite of the routine. “Grass grows soft and white”(3), “sun burns crimson bright”(4), “moon-bird rests from his flight”(5), “to cool the peppermint wind”(6) all symbolize things the opposite of what to expect near the sidewalk. It sort of means that you have to do what…

Color One of the biggest draws of a grass lawn is the vibrant, green color. Giving up on grass doesn’t mean relegating your lawn to shades of tan. Decomposed granite comes in many colors, including gold, green, rose, and blue. Paver stones come in more colors and blends than can be reasonably listed. If it’s a burst of color you want, tumbled glass gravel is your answer. The colors pop so much that you can use it to create a passable illusion of water. Texture Grass also gives a landscape…

Water used to be the most common substance that could be found anywhere in the world, but as of lately that hasn't been the case. It is been getting harder and harder to fulfill our need of water. In the excerpt “Water Controversies Boil Over” written by Mat Weiser, published in April 26, 2009 he talks about how people are starting to fight over water and how 46 nations risk violent conflicts over water. Weiser explains how the United Nations stated that in the future there won't be conflicts…

Have you ever driven down a road that is just completely and utterly terrible? A road that is not only bumpy and rugged, but is also highly unattractive. I know that I have. In fact, I drive down an extremely unsavory road like this every day of my life. That is because I live on that road.

The whole thing is covered in cracks from large trucks and buses driving…

Steven Greanhouse a journalist and the author of Rare Vote Set on a Union in Fast Food, says “Jen Thompson, a mother of two who earns $7.75 an hour as a sandwich maker said… We’re tired of getting treated like garbage. We don’t get paid well, and we get horrible hours.” This quote is trying to examine the feeling a fast food worker. People should treat others the way they want to be treated. Unfortunately, many people treat others horrible. One of the biggest issues with the beef industries is…

Paso del Indio. We had three different groups some were helping with the plants and cutting the grass, for myself I had a spading fork and we would have to pick up remains from trees or other plants and place them on a wheelbarrow, then another group would come and take it form a trail for the visitors. Besides all the students, there was Mr. Miller and a supervisor that would tell us where to place the grass or what need to be cleaned up. Throughout the day we all mostly put out our energy and…
