Carver showed the already set farmers a better way to grow cotton. He planted cow peas into the ground which take nitrogen from the air and put it back into the earth and he also spread muck from the nearby swamp on the ground as fertilizer. Soon enough he had bushy stalks of cotton that had everyone coming to look at. After that, slowly, the people began to listen to and trust the teacher from “up north” but were still not going to stop growing cotton as Dr. Carver advised.
Frederic Remington was born in Canton, New York in 1861. He attended Yale School of Arts, and the Art Students League of New York. Frederic traveled to the west repeatedly; he admired the rough and heroic cowboys and soldiers he met there. Among other things Frederic admired about these cowboys and soldiers was the fact that they seemed so unaffected by the elements of the “frontier” life they had to endure. While on these trips to the west, Remington would collect materials to use as props to create illustrations, paintings, and bronzes in his studio back in New York.
Kids would pull weeds, feed chickens, scare crows away from the cornfields, keep hawks from stealing young chickens, pick insects off the crops, or carry water to other workers. When the child was an adult, he or she would either clear new land, plant, or harvest. Slaves who worked in the fields were called, " Field Hands". Field Hands worked longer then any other kind of slave. They usually worked from sunrise to sunset.
Spring vs. Fall In Spring, the bees start buzzing around from one flower to the next as the flowers open up and the bees collect the pollen to take back to the beehive and the caterpillar’s that have been in there cocoons are now coming out as beautiful butterflies and moths. In fall as leaves start changing colors from green to deep reds, golden brownish-yellow and vivid yellowish-orang as they fall to the ground the animals collecting food to go into hibernation. The bird start heading south for the winter and the cool air starts to set in. There is such beauty in both season’s spring and fall; there are also some differences between them such as, weather, color, and activity. Spring is the season that the earth comes alive again in all its beauty.
On September 6th 2007, our biology class continued our research at Mill Creek Canyon Road to further observe plants and animals. On this trip the temperature was 28 degrees Celsius and there were slight winds present. The winds were going at a 2mph rate.On this trip the trees seemed greener and moist, due to the fact that there was excess amount of water that traveled through mill creek. The soil around the trees seemed very moist and damp and various branches were broken along the trail. At the entrance of the trail, there were branches that were broken and dropped into the creek near the trail.
The second artists in the “Transformation” episode was Cindy Shierman. She was a photographer who took mainly self portraits. She said she liked taking photographs of herself looking like different characters. She never named her portraits so that everyone had a chance to see it differently. The reason she took pictures of herself was because of her “Cindy Book” she had, which was all family snapshots where she would circle herself in the photograph.
He came along panting at her side, trying to help her when he saw a root that she might trip over. He caught and held back the long swaying blades of thorn vine until she had passed beyond them. She led the way and he came breathing heavily behind her. Then they came out on a sunlit hillside, sloping softly into another one a little smaller. Beyond, they could see the rusted top of the old barn where the extra hay was stored.
She reflects on how the air was always filled with noises of animals and the voices of people, while the permanent odor of, “dried horse mixed with guavas and bananas invaded the atmosphere” (pg.616). Lan Cao explains how at the “Sky Markets” once you decide you want to purchase an item, the customer tries to haggle vendors and pays right away, whereas in an American market you pile everything into a cart and pay at the end. Language differences were a challenge the girl and her mother faced as Lan Cao expressed the differences in not only speech but common hand gestures. As the girl learned and understood English better than her mother; the girl quickly had to take on the responsibility of being the translator. Being
In Guadalupe, the ritual is celebrated much like it is in rural Mexico. "Here the people spend the day in the cemetery," said Esther Cota, the parish secretary at the Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. "The graves are decorated real pretty by the people." In Mesa, the ritual has evolved to include other cultures, said Zarco Guerrero, a Mesa artist. "Last year, we had Native Americans and African-Americans doing their own dances," he said.
