“Strange Fruit” ‚a poem written by Abel Meeropol in 1929‚ was a world renowned piece of writing.

The Forbidden Fruit It seems like the greatest anecdotes revolve around an apple; Adam and Eve damned all of mankind for an apple and an apple inspired Newton’s whole life work. The scrumptious Frisbee-shaped apple pie that Gary Soto’s six-year old self snatches is almost worth spending the rest of eternity in hell.
