The Cherry Orchard

My hometown is Qingdao, let me give a brief introduction of Qingdao to you. The “Qing” is a color, as same as cyan or green. The “dao” is island. There is a small island on the sea near Qingdao. Because there are many plants on the island, the island looks green and this is the origin of the “Qingdao”. Qingdao is located in the southern part of Shandong province. Qingdao's climate is typical temperate monsoon climate, so it is relative warm in winter and relative cool in summer. Summer…

In 1996 the Federal Marketing Order was established to regulate the amount of tart cherries being sold by producers in the United States. The intent of the order was to keep supply of the fruit in line with demand and therefore increase the price to the growers of tart cherries. Sadly, this is not what happened. The Federal Marketing Order implemented by the CIAB (Cherry Industry Administrative Board) under direction of the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) should be abolished…

Chekhov’s most famous plays were written at a time when the stage director was becoming a significant factor in the modern theatre. It is the entire recognition of the main themes of Chekhov’s plays that demonstrates why directors are so prone to immerse in wild fantasies. Throughout his life, Anton Chekhov was extremely critical of many features of the theatre of his day. His negative behavior towards directors and actors who displayed his plays in a manner that dissatisfied him led Chekhov…

class hierarchy is jarring for the nobility, but vindicating for the peasants. Unlike in the days of serfdom, class mobility is possible for those marginalized groups. Lubov is dejected and sits inert at the proposition of surrendering her beloved cherry orchard, for it is the source of cherished memories of her pleasant past, a past in which she was not living on borrowed…

got done shooting this precious dog of candy's. Naturally you would feel sad after, but just two more pages and George and Lennie are talking about their dream and it makes you feel hopeful. John writes in George's voice,"... Got The kitchen, orchard, cherries, apples, peaches, 'cots, nuts, got a few berries. They's A place for alfalfa and plenty of water to flood it."(pg 57) When you picture that, you aren't that sad because you can see their…

There are many television shows that show war and combat. Many people watch these shows without any thought about it. However, war is not how the media depicts it. In Erich Remarque’s novel, All Quiet On the Western Front, main character Paul Baumer describes war as a place where “if your own father came over with [the enemy] you would not hesitate to fling a bomb at him”(Remarque 114). While in war, soldiers begin to believe in killing more than they believe in family. War is a place of anarchy…

Elizabeth had just dropped a handful of cherries into a basket then turned and said to her sister, “You known, I think what I want to do next year is go to the motherhouse to high school and go to the convent.” The Provincial House of the Adorers of the Blood of Christ was just twenty miles south of the Kolmer farm. Shirley replied after throwing a handful of cherry fruit into the basket, “Oh, I’m going to do that this fall.” Elizabeth replied,…

Throughout my entire life I have been involved with agriculture. My father is a corn and hay farmer with a few cherry orchards; my grandpa raises beef cattle which we should show at the County fair every year, and now my husband is a Dairy Farmer. I felt like my knowledge relating to issues in Animal Agriculture was pretty broad coming into this class, but as the term has progressed I’ve noticed that I was pretty bias to a lot of issues, as well as having limited knowledge on certain subjects.…

In the article Atkinson states “You might, in fact, regard A Raisin in the Sun as a negro The Cherry Orchard. Although the social scale of the characters is different, the knowledge of how character is controlled by environment is much the same, and the alternation humor and pathos is similar” It seems completely unnecessary to have the color of the…
