flower
Flowers play important roles in our everyday lives. They are beneficial to all of us. When someone is in the hospital, we bring flowers to cheer them up. Flowers are a great "pick-me-up." You send flowers to your loved ones on special occasions like Mother's Day or on birthdays to show how much you care. You might even get cuttings out of your garden to brighten up a room or for the fragrance.

Flowers also have healing properties. Not only do flowers help relieve stress, they are used in medicine. For example, rose petals are most commonly used by women for relieving heavy periods. Rose hips are found in vitamin C. Hibiscus flowers are extremely helpful in diuretics. Passionflower calms the nerves and helps you sleep. Violets reduce fever. Chrysanthemums are good for headaches and high blood pressure.
Main Function
The primary function of the flower is reproduction or pollination. There are three steps that the flower goes through to produce other flowers. First is pollination. Most flowers rely on butterflies, bees, bats or hummingbirds to assist in the pollination process, to carry the pollen from one plant to another, while others rely on the wind for transport of pollen. One might say, "Flowers dress themselves to attract insects and the like to them." This is point on, because this is actually the mechanism that the flower develops so the "assistants" will be attracted to them. Some flowers use an aroma to attract their pollinators. Pollination is the way that flowers get their gene

    "The Flowers" contains a multitude of symbolic references, including Myop's name itself. The young girl's name is derived from myopia, also known as near-sightedness. For the girl to fully understand the complications of her racial background, she must closely experience the severe violence of racism, which effectively occurs in the story’s climax. As Myop is walking along the shallow banks, she observes "tiny white bubbles disrupt the thin black scale of soil." Myop comes from a sharecropper family and has been directly affected by racial issues, symbolized in this story by the "white bubbles" disrupting the "black scale of soil'. The representation of racial problems becomes further iterated by Myop's discovery later within the woods.…

    Fetch Me That Flower

    “Fetch me that flower; the herb I shew’d thee once: The juice of it on sleeping eye-lids laid will make or man or woman madly dote upon the next live creature that it sees” Says Oberon to Puck as he describes the effect the love potion has on mortals. This sounds strikingly similar to the sensation of “Love at first sight”. Although most of the conflict in the Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream arises from true love rather than the magical idea of Love that Oberon describes here, this statement shows us just one of the kinds of love that Shakespeare brings to the Play. The multifaceted nature of love is shown consistently throughout the play as the audience witness the paternal love of Egius and Helena, The forbidden love of Hermia and Lysander, Unrequited love which Helena and Demetrius are victims of, the vengeful love of Oberon and Titania, The exaggerated romantic love that the lovers experience as a result of the potion and lastly the abstract companionship of the Mechanicals which some critics may interpret as being love of some kind.…

    “If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so.” This quote by Thomas Jefferson shows that even though there are risks, stand up for what is right and just. The law is not always the right thing and people who disagree are considered, Civilly disobedient. Civil disobedience is standing up for what is right even if it’s the law. Two men who took a stand for their right is Martin Luther King Jr. and David Thoreau. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter from Birmingham City Jail” is about MLK Jr.’s experience with civil disobedience. MLK Jr. himself, committed an act of civil disobedience and stood up for what was right. As did David Thoreau in “From Civil Disobedience”. These men knew the law and the consequences that would follow, but they understood what would benefit from their act of disobedience.…
