Troublesome Kiwis and How To Cope
Kiwis are beautiful and majestic creatures, but sometimes they can be pests, especially in backyards where bananas are trying to grow. This is a problem because bananas are bad at living when being put under stress. Over five people each year are left bananaless because of kiwis. There are, however, solutions.

Bananas are very difficult to grow, and if it their first year being planted in your backyard, it may take some time before they overcome their fears of kiwis or other animals. A good way to remember this is:
Bananas first SLEEP then bananas CREEP and then bananas LEAP
This poem shows the three stages of a bananas sense of security. In the first year of being planted in the ground, a banana is shy and reclusive. It rarely leaves the house and sleeps most of the time, to prevent eyecontact with other bananas.
The next year, the banana becomes more confident and may venture out of its home, but only very creepily. It will mostly lurk in the shadows and when walking will only tiptoe.
In the third year, the banana will have matured and will be ready to face the world. They will demonstrate their newfound wholeness by leaping far and high. At this stage, they will be immune to the stress of seeing a kiwi.

Until the bananas third stage of life, it is very vulnerable to stress and also death. Kiwis are often the culprits, so a good way to protect your bananas is to repell the kiwis. One kiwi repellent that works almost every time is banana juice. Kiwis hate the smell and they will skedaddle very fast. However, the smell may also upset your bananas. A better solution in your case it to leave the kiwis be and find a new home for your bananas. There are many banana homes in large cities. Simply dial the easy-to-remember phone number, and your problems will be over: 9-1-1.

    Perhaps more than any other agricultural product the banana reflects the colonial, neo-colonial, economic nationalism and contemporary stages of the evolution of the world economy.2 The banana was introduced to the North Americas in the late 1800’s because of the invention of the refrigerated ship.3 The influence of technology is evident even in these early stages of banana globalization. Since then, the banana has remained popular worldwide but has faced its share of problems. Between 1993-2001, there were disputes between America and the European Union (EU) due to a complex problem involving banana licensing. The stages of production, transportation and consumption all create a complex and important story to the most consumed fruit worldwide because its history intertwines with political and social trends.…

    Only bananas are explicitly mentioned when “the hunters sat, stuffing themselves with… bananas”(157) Bananas were most definitely originally propagated on the island by Polynesians. Though the type of fruit is not directly mentioned, it is stated that the boys “tread through acres of fruit trees”(77), and that “everywhere [had] the scent of ripeness”(77). Assuming that ripeness means rotting, this is reminiscent of a thicket of guava trees, or in spanish a Guayabal. Often Guayabales will stretch for acres and are filled with fruiting and rotting guavas.…

    In reading Banana: The Fate of the Fruit that Changed the World by Dan Koeppel, I was pleased by the contents of the book and found it to be an enjoyable read about the history of the banana crop and about the future viability of it as well. Initially, due to many recent discussions I've had on the topic with people, I believed that Koeppel, a New York Times columnist and online blogger, might have focused mainly on how large scale industry was evil and how the “corporations” were dooming us all. The book provided a large historical overview of the crop on top of the industrial problems which I enjoyed immensely. However most importantly for me is that the author does point out the issues with the crop, such as the high production of greenhouse gases involved in the industry, he does not altogether condemn the banana but instead suggests steps to try and save it. This is the highlight of the book…
