Summary Of Berries By Robin Kimmerer
“Berries” by Robin Kimmerer is a very detailed and very poetic way of writing. This writing starts with fruit, but the more you read the more meaning you find behind the name of these berries. This writing was a well thought out writing that while you read it all of the words start connecting and it starts making sense but at the beginning you feel like you are reading gibberish. This summary is about the true meaning of the word “Berries” and how you would never know how differently you could look at berries after reading this story. This writing was very interesting to read because it helped me realize the little things in life. This post was very helpful with finals coming up. It helped me realize that even though it is a stressful time, there are still little things in life that you should focus on. Reading this paper made me feel happy when reading this. It made me laugh and giggle because it …show more content…
It is a reflection someone took about our world and how they are realizing we are not appreciating the little things in our world and we are taking a lot of things for granted because we don't love our world and we are always wanting more. This writing helps readers realize that maybe they are not doing what they can to help this world and that they could truly be doing more and could be giving back to the world that has given them so much yet is being broken down daily. This writing is helping all of us understand that this world gives us more than just food, this world gives us a home, family, happiness. In exchange, we give this world pollution, hatred, war, a dying planet. This world has given all of us so much yet we take it all for granted because we are always wanting more from this world then what it has given us everyday of our lives. Overall, we need to be more thankful for what we have and what has been given to us to help us be better

    Charles Chesnut's work, "The Goophered Grapevine" deeply resonates with me, not only for its literary values, but also because it shows deep insight into the complexities of race, identity, and power dynamics in South America. Chesnut's own life experience as a mixed-race man navigating the harsh terrain of racism and discrimination undoubtedly informed his description of these subjects. As a reader, I was impressed by Chesnut's ability to create thought-provoking stories by combining elements of folklore and realism. Chesnut skillfully explores African-American culture and the ways it was used as a means of resistance and survival in the face of oppression through Uncle Julius's characteristics. Chesnut's exploration of the relationship between…

    1. McMillan’s thoughts about the problems with the wages in the produce industry in the “Grapes” chapter were disturbing. She writes, “most of the price tag at the store pays for the system that moves it from place to place-not the wages in the field.” She later goes on to say “So if the farmer is only getting 16 percent of what we pay for food, what share is being paid to me, the worker in the field?” The wages being low for the agriculture industry are shocking to me because as discussed in class, the agriculture industry is needed for human’s wellbeing.…

    Galway Kinnell’s poem “Blackberry Eating” (rpt. in Greg Johnson and Thomas R. Arp, Perrine’s Literature: Structure, Sound, and Sense, 12th ed. [Boston: Wadsworth, 2015] 890-891) makes me think of my childhood with blackberries. Blackberries are my favorite berries and love the time of the year for them. As the poem says “I love to go out in late September among fat, overripe, icy, black blackberries…” (890), this is the best time of the year. Blackberries bring many memories with my grandparents: picking the blackberries, eating the blackberries, and making jelly and cobbler out of blackberries.…

    When I first saw this book the whole cover of it made me read the back. It is vibrant and it drags you in before you even think about it. On the front cover of the book it says “ Life Goes On Until It Doesn't “and I think that is definitely what the book talk about. I think the author did a hands down great job at putting the book together with all different aspects of life in it. The author, Robyn Schneider, created this story so that whoever reads it can be put in any of the character’s position, and live that life.…

    Many places in this world have more everyday problems than we have every year problems. Another Quote, “By July 10, heavy artillery could be heard all over Juba as the two sides fell back to their old war footing and took up arms once again. Hundreds of soldiers and civilians lost their lives in the crossfire.” Therefore, they have so many wars because things are a lot harder there than here in the US. Everyone is struggling of something there and the war does not help at all with those struggles. Another quote, “Taban is from South Sudan's capital, Juba. He said his neighbors were attacked by militants in July. His family fled the city on foot, eventually reaching buses that took them across the border to register as refugees in Uganda.” The struggle they have are much bigger than the ones we have. They all struggle with a lack of food, water and major supplies. The text says, “I've been collecting grain and rice from the ground of the burned huts, picking kennels out of the dirt.” Even in the book they have more struggles than the average person and they aren't feed well. So, she wants to show that not everyone doesn’t give up. And there are a lot of people that can't afford to give up because they have to fight to to survive and stay alive. She started to notice that many people only fail once and then they give up and just quit trying altogether. Many people on this planet don’t understand that people are fighting for there life and others lives as…

    Thematically, the poem explores the idealistic nature of childhood, and the importance of waking up to reality as one grows older. The beginning of the poem is filled with a vivid passionate recollection of the seasonal picking of blueberries. The time is late August, and in perfect harvest conditions of ‘heavy rain and sun, the blackberries would ripen’. The idealistic views of childhood are brought out in the description of the berries, conveying a sense of near perfection, ‘At first, just one, a glossy purple clot.. You ate that first one and its flesh was sweet’. The memory of the blueberries is so vivid that Heaney recounts the ‘stains’ left upon the tongue and even the ‘lust’ felt for picking. There is a deep sense of indulgence conveyed in this first part of the poem, especially through the use of the word ‘lust’, which would otherwise not normally be used in describing the feelings of children. This passion for something as innocent as blueberry picking is something that can come only in childhood.…

    In the Flowers by Alice Walker, it talks about a little girl named Myop and how she discovers the unthinkable. Her whole life was the farm that her parents owned, until one day she decided to step out and explore outside the fence of the farm for the very first time. She was intrigued at how beautiful it was once she left the farm, the flowers were blooming, the stream was flowing, and it was sunny with blue skies. Everything around her was the pure example of beauty so she wanted more, as she kept walking farther than she had been before she stumbled across a dead man that had been there for awhile and her summer was over. However, Alice Walker portrays the theme of “The Loss of Innocence”. This theme is supported by Symbolism/imagery, Setting, Plot, and Irony.…
