eighteenth century from Britain and France. Only a few of the early colonists were proficient in sugar work and were able to provide the sugary treats for the very wealthy. Rock candy‚ made from crystallized sugar‚ was the simplest form of candy‚ but even this basic form of sugar was considered a luxury and was only attainable by the rich people.

Bitter Sugar Bitter Sugar is now one of my most favorite foreign movies‚ other than ‘Swept Away’. It gives me such a great help understanding the political system in different parts of the world. On this occasion I will begin to interpret the film ‘Bitter Sugar’ directed by ‘Leon Ichaso.’ Bitter Sugar is a film that is mostly in my opinion‚ anti- Castro. Although the film was made in 1996‚ it was representing the period after the Cuban Revolution. Hence‚ the film is shot in Black and White. The

Personal Response to Dear Daddy The short story Dear Daddy by Lee Maracle brought me back the tears that I‚ too‚ had as a child. I felt pitiful for the main character’s experience and deeply impressed by the thirteen-year-old girl’s courage of getting over her negative feelings for the past and going on with her life.

This change was so rapid and far-reaching that ‘revolutionary’ is a fitting word to describe it. It ranks in importance with emancipation‚ for the sugar revolution changed the Lesser Antilles completely. It was not just that sugar replaced tobacco as the chief crop: the population changed from white to black; the size of landholdings changed;

"Daddy"‚ one of Plaths most famous and detailed autobiographical poems‚ was written in the last years of her life and is saturated with suppressed anger and dark imagery. The sixteen stanza poem‚ through Plaths use of ambiguous symbolism‚ arguably is bitterly addressing Plaths father‚ who died when she was only eight‚ and her husband Ted Hughes‚ who had broken her "pretty red heart in two" (st.12‚ line 1). The poem is intense with once suppressed emotion‚ setting an aggressive‚ desperate‚ almost

eating all those sugars? We’ve said it before‚ and we’ll say it again: We consume a lot more sugar than is good for our health. Because of this‚ the next generation of Americans will struggle with obesity and diabetes more than any other. The most obvious culprit is the added sugar in sodas and other sugary beverages‚ like sports drinks or teas. One idea public health advocates have floated to bring sugar consumption down is to tax beverages with more than a certain amount of added sugar. (Berkeley‚ Calif
