decisions in the story that affected the outcome of the story. So, I interpreted the theme as every action has a consequence. An example of external conflict would be when the pilot bombed the wheat fields and unintentionally killed the children.

of enzymes in the flour. By this way, it improves the crust colour and sweetens the bread. During baking, the reducing sugars in dough combine with amino acids from protein to undergo Maillard reaction giving attractive brown colours to the whole wheat bread. Duncan states that the concentration of the reducing sugars present is proportional to the colour produced (Duncan, 1998). Furthermore, sugars act as antiplasticizers retarding the pasting of native starch or function as antistaling…

Furthermore, endemic underemployment ensued from the periodicity of wheat farming; harvest and hay time were the only times where work was sufficiently available. In order to maintain the levels of workforce necessary for seasonal work, the assistance of the Poor Law was a demoralising and insufficient provision forced on…

Corn served as an alternative to rice and wheat to the European’s diet. Since corn was so flexible it could be grown in areas too wet for wheat and too dry for rice. Europeans could grow corn more efficiently than wheat or rice. If a farmer had one acre of wheat they could harvest 500 pounds but with corn they could harvest 1,800 pounds of corn. The European farmers weren’t accustomed to so much food…
