Harvest

The three poems I chose for this week’s discussion are “Thanatopsis”, “The death of Lincoln” and “The Harvest Moon”. From my readings I discovered that Bryant, the author of the initial two poems selected for the discussion was an exceptionally bright child, who was familiar with the alphabet by the “tender age” of 16 months. I believe that his early works give evidence to the certainty that he was a child prodigy. Bryant, as explained in the lesson material used English forms in his poems as…

Slavery by Another Name This video starts soon after the 13th amendment is ratified and slavery is abolished (at least on paper). The cotton economy was severely hurt from the new need of payed labor. The farm owners had about half of their investments in slave labor. With an overall poor economy at the time as well, some white people saw all the new free black people as competition for work. There was white resistance against a bi-racial government. New laws were being made to target black…

Harvest Valley Survival is, as formerly stated, not THE ANSWER to rescuing our society from the rage of these children. (THEY ARE CHILDREN!) Our hope is that we can provide a safe and caring environment were emotionally disturbed/conduct disordered youth can learn how to deal with their anger impulses in less destructive manners. Helping an individual to de-escalate is a skill that cannot be cultivated from an afternoon in-service meeting or how-to manual. However, you’ve made it this far in…

Harvest on the Campagna The piece I chose to write about is Harvest on the Campagna by John Gatsby Chapman. This piece is displayed in the Kentucky Museum at Western Kentucky University. The museum had a wide range of artwork both professional and local, although, this particular one caught my eye at the door as it was displayed in the front lobby near the entrance. This piece is approximately 8 x 3 ½ and was surrounded by a large golden frame that was surely a show stopper but, that’s not…

Unhealthy Harvest: How does the Delaware’s produce reach your table? Imagine a typical summer day in Delaware: 90 degrees, 98% humidity, and hungry, persistent mosquitos. Now imagine that there is not office AC to escape to. Your office is, in fact, outside in the fields, performing backbreaking labor. You’re harvesting watermelon, picking peaches, or collecting tomatoes. You’ll do this every day no matter how hot it gets, until the harvest is complete. Then, you’ll move on to the next state or…

The “Harvest of Shame” video highlighted how migrant farm workers were treated largely as an afterthought, by the American society whose sustenance depended almost wholly on the work of these migrant farmers. Unfortunately, in the facts from, State v. Shack, there is a solemn truth that farm owners will continue to try to infringe upon the rights and liberties if given the opportunity. However, this, is juxtaposed against the Southwest Citizens Organization for Poverty Elimination (SCOPE)…

can pay these migrants much less than what others would be required to be paid for this type of labor in this type of economy. These workers check comes to around fifty or seventy dollars a week as I have previously stated. In the documentary “The Harvest” Zulema, a 12-year-old migrant worker, states that she received a check for sixty-four dollars. She has been working crops since about six to seven years of age. She has started work to help her mother and grandmother pay bills, afford food and…

The video, “Harvest of Empire” introduced us to the imperialism that our president started a program that recruit peoples from Puerto after World War 2 to the United States for a better life. Immigration was one of significant part of the Imperialism. That show that our country is the land of opportunity for these people. For example, Mariana Zamboni was immigrated to United States when she was a kid. This country give the opportunity to have a better live. For the result, of hard work…

The video, Harvest of Shame, was a documentary about the migrant workers of the 1960s. The things that surprised me the most about this film was the conditions the migrants had to live in and the family life of these workers. The doesn’t seem like 1960 was that long ago so to see people living in those harsh of conditions is really mind boggling to me. Large families being shoved into tiny rooms, whole camps sharing a tiny spigot of water, and no bathroom facilities were just a few of the…

New Harvest is a coffee roasting company that was founded in 2000 by Rik Kleinfeldt and Paula Anderson. To continue to stay successful this company has to follow the factors of production. Factors of production deal with four basic inputs such as natural resources, capital, human resources, and entrepreneurship. Natural resources is all production inputs that are useful in their natural state. Since New Harvest is trying to provide the best coffee, they should use ingredients in their natural…
