Carolyn was asked to sit down in the chair and pick a treat from a tray of marshmallows, cookies, and pretzel sticks. Carolyn chose the marshmallow. Although she’s now forty-four, Carolyn still has a weakness for those air-puffed balls of corn syrup and gelatine. “I know I shouldn’t like them,” she says. “But they’re just so delicious!” A researcher then made Carolyn an offer: she could either eat one marshmallow right away or, if she was willing to wait while he stepped out for a few minutes, she could have two marshmallows when he returned.
The Cudgen soil conservation project is one of the most recent projects. The project is run by the Tweed Shire Council and Land Care, the aim of the project is to work with land holders to keep the soil on the paddocks. The project includes minor modifications to the interface between paddocks and drainage lines. Berms along drainage lines direct runoff into small settling ponds which slow the flow, giving the muddy water time to settle out. Farmers can then retrieve the soil that would have otherwise ended up in downstream waterways (Cudgen

If it was not for his timely interventions, the southern farmers would have probably been made bankrupt. He was also instrumental in developing a “school on wheels” to be able to go to farming communities, to give demonstrations. He did his work selflessly, with no thought to gaining personal fortune. Also it is recognized that peanut butter has tremendous nutritional value, especially for children. George Washington Carver died as he lived, quietly in January, 1943. Who would have ever thought that this gentle genius, a negro originally called Carver’s George, would one day become George Washington Carver, B.S., M.S., D.Sc., PH.D.
They had smoked salmon, and milk. The cream on the milk was so creamy that they had to use a knife! This was the life that George had wanted for years, and he had it. He enjoyed the next week lounging around, picking alfalfa, watching Lennie feed the rabbits and eating the delicious food Candy was preparing. There was no Curley, no Tart to get them in trouble, No dead puppies, no running from anybody.

This shows that this relationship is falling apart slowly and it has reached to its maximum point. Real World Connection: My relationship with my dad is quite similar.

For instance, the hospital bed in Green Island, Iowa might first evoke images of illness, before one would wonder what feverish dreams taunted its occupant. Or, a bed as a site of procreation is implied in the image of Johnny Cash’s boyhood home. Then, for anyone who grew up in Louisiana, the book’s last picture evokes thoughts of sweat and mosquitoes. Why did someone carry a bed to that spot, so close to the edge of the marsh? Surely it was not for assignations?
S TOR Y THE AWAKENING OF ~1YINTEREST IN ANNULAR SYSTEMS'* By David Foster Wallace n the winter of 1963 I remember I was eating lunch and reading something dull on temperature reactivity coefficients when my father came into the kitchen and made himself a tomato-juice beverage and said that as soon as I was finished he and my mother needed my help in their bedroom. My father had spent the morning at the commercial studio and was still all in white, with his wig with its rigid white parted hair, and hadn't yet removed the television makeup that gave his face an orange cast in daylight. I hurried up and rinsed my dishes in the sink and proceeded down the hall to the master bedroom. My mother and father were both in there. The master
He then glanced at me with open excited eyes and said, “I got accepted into the armed forces mum.” My heart skipped a beat at the surprising news. My son, a soldier. It was one of the proudest moments of my life, as well as his. Tears pooled in my eyes as we hugged each other, bound by the good news. It was not long after that he was dressed in the ANZAC uniform and leaving our home with his knapsack over his shoulder, smiling and waving farewell to me before catching the bus to the docks for departure.
