2)
Bees’ reported revenue would have to be within $100,000 or a little more for it to be considered reasonable or fairly stated.
There could be a number of reasons reported ticket revenues may be outside the reasonableness range”. Simply put, I could have figured the expected revenue incorrectly with the information I was given(which could make me completely off in expectations. The allocation of tickets per weekend and weekday as I assumed, could have been different in the actual numbers for each day. I just assumed that the average per day was the same, taking in to account the increases due to promotions and weekends. None of the information reported weather conditions for any certain day, which could significantly lower any of the numbers of people per

    Larkin’s use of alliteration when unfolding the content, that of Bleaney’s room, ‘flowered curtains, thin and frayed, Fall to within five inches of the sill’(l.3-4) creates an ironic bleak description of the things which presumably once surrounded Mr Bleaney; this contrasts the function of alliteration as its usually used in a playful manner. Using such a feature allows some light-heart, creating a rhythmic flow to the poem, despite the dismal atmosphere being presented. Larkin uses alliteration quite a few times in Mr. Bleaney, ‘Behind the door, no room for books or bags’ (l.9) signifying that the room in which he resided in was so box size that there was no space for leisure or anything exciting, not even behind the door where it may not…

    The Decline of Honey Bees

    • 793 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Honeybees were brought to North America from Europe in the 1600s. They produce honey and pollinate crops. In recent years honeybee populations across the continent have declined by as much as 70 percent. Their loss could effect fruits and vegetables such as apples, broccoli, strawberries, nuts, asparagus, blueberries and cucumbers. Honeybees pollinate $14 billion worth of seeds and crops in the US every year. Therefore, if honeybees disappear, they could take most of our insect pollinated plants with them, potentially reducing the human being to little more than a bread and water diet. Biologists are studying the reasons behind the enormous bee die off happening across the country; they call it Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). It occurs when a hive's inhabitants suddenly disappear, leaving only queens, eggs and a few immature workers. The term was first applied to a drastic rise in the number of diasappearances of Western honey bee colonies in North America in late 2006. The cause appears to be related to chemicals, electromagnetic radiation and Varroa mites.…
