Honey bee

The Roman civil wars, the assassination of Caesar, and the rise of Octavian’s empire led to hostilities and discords among the Roman Republic. The consequential political oppression brought by the Augustan Principate encouraged writers to utilize different literary devices to express their political ideologies about current events and the future of Rome. In this paper I will discuss how Augustan writers, Virgil and Ovid, utilized animal anthropomorphism as means of political expression in order…

World War II ended, Golding returned home safely and began teaching and writing again. Golding has said, “I began to see what people were capable of doing. Anyone who moved through those years without understanding that man produces evil as a bee produces honey, must have been blind or wrong in the head.”…

“The Male Human Nature: An Allegorical Analysis of Lord of the Flies” A tale of human nature, William Golding’s critically acclaimed novel Lord of the Flies explores the effects that surviving on a deserted island without the constraints of society’s rules and obligations has on a group of young boys. Golding argues that moral and societal restraints are learned, not innate, with the adolescent male mind in a more unstable balance between civilization and savagery. For the most part, Flies can…

Beauty fades, happiness is fleeting, and pleasure is always “Bidding adieu” (24). However, it is a beautiful flower that is turned into honey by the sting of a bee, as well as poison for stinging. What the author suggests, is that the two are correlated; it is precisely that fact that joy will come to an end, that heightens the pleasure of this experience. It is best illustrated in the poems’ climax…

Sustainability in Agriculture and Farming “In half of a century, our soils have increased from 1 percent to 8 percent organic matter, and OM [organic matter] is the foundational test of soil resilience and fertility,” states Joel Salatin, speaking of his family farm, Polyface farms (Salatin). Sustainable farming has been around for millennia, but with the destructiveness that many modern farming methods cause, it has gained a growing measure of popularity with people who wish to wisely use our…

In the novel The Odyssey, written by Homer, the main character is put in conflicting challenges, which overall shape him into a strong and thoughtful man. Odysseus in the beginning of the story is self-centered and cares about his ideas and opinions more than others. He was more interested in activities that could potentially endanger the well-being of his friends and family. This brought bad tidings to himself when the gods realized his poor behavior. A specific god named Poseidon saw his…

Why is biodiversity important to an ecosystem? Why is it so important that we have different species of animals living together? It is extremely important for different species to be living together, because they all rely on one another for survival. Including us humans, we rely on other species to survive. We don’t just rely on other species for survival, but evolution has driven us to evolve to adapt and live longer. In an ecosystem, there are habitats. In a habitat, there are populations…

If vegans try so hard to emulate the tastes of meats and animal products, the healthy way is to just consume the real thing. The popularity of becoming a vegan has risen in the past decade because of organizations falsely “exposing” the meat and the meat-packing industries. Those industries and the government have heavily regulated systems and laws in favor of treating the animals justly, and many studies have been done by the companies to make sure that they are doing so. For example, many…

“Mom I’m out the door,” I said to my mom. She replied with, “Okay honey, see you later.” I was on my way to go hiking in the woods. As I was walking, I heard a thumping sound. Then it stopped, so I thought it was nothing. I started walking again. Again, the thumping sound came. I started running, and the thumping sound followed me. I turned around, and there he stood 10 feet tall, hairy, and most importantly scary. The name of this scary beast is Bigfoot. I thought…
