...A Narrative: Bernadette and the Lilies In days gone by, freedom was a word I never knew. My parents were like chains, always clinging to me. As soon as I was out of school, there was a text from my dad asking if I had gotten on the bus and was okay. I would just shut off my phone so my dad couldn’t text me anymore. When I got home, there was my mom, asking me everything about my day. “Hey sweetie, how are your friends?” she would always ask. “Mom,” I would always say. “I have no friends, because every time I try to make one, you always forbid me from going anywhere with them.” Then I would shove myself away from the table and stomp off into my room. That was before I met Lily. One day, I was sick and tired of being chained. I got home from school and snuck into...

...Life of Bees, symbolism is shown by Black Mary, the Wailing Wall, and the bees. In the novel, Black Mary represents something different for each character. For the store clerk and the people in the town, they see Black Mary as a label on a honey bottle. The clerk tells Lily that most people do not buy the honey “‘cause it’s got the Virgin Mary pictured as a colored women” (Kidd 64). For the Boatwright sisters, it stands for something completely diverse. They call Black Mary the Black Madonna. She represents their hope and aspiration, as well as their religion. Every night before they go to sleep, the Daughters of Mary all pray and worship the wooden statue. Another symbol she stands for is female power. Because of this, August Boatwright is able to help Lily become a powerful woman, and be able to stand up to other students and even T. Ray. Lastly, Black Mary signifies a connection Lily has with her mother because she found the wooden picture with some of her belongings. Through this picture, Lily is able to find a family that will love her and take care of her as if she had been part of it from the very beginning. Not only does it bring Lily closer to her mother, it also symbolizes holding onto the past. Lily tells the readers that “Now and then I’d out there and dig up the box. I would lie on the ground with the trees folded over me, wearing her gloves, smiling at her photograph”...

...Blood Disorders By Robert Fields HCA/240 Lily, a 4-year-old Caucasian female, has she been complaining of being tired all the time. She is pale and is a picky eater. Her mother is a single mom with a small budget to feed a large family. Lily eats only pasta, breads, and hot dogs, and she drinks only artificial fruit punch. Lily has iron deficiency anemia. In Lily’s case I believe that she has anemia. This is a condition that can develop if and when your body fails to receive healthy red blood cells. The red blood cells are the main transporters for which the organs get oxygen, red blood cells will also be deficient in hemoglobin without this transporter too. This can cause Lily’s body not to get enough oxygen. Some symptoms of anemia can be fatigue, this happens from lack of oxygen to the body and organs. Anemia’s most common for is iron deficiency because iron is necessary in the making of hemoglobin which puts children at risk. Most children need to absorb at least 1mg of iron per day for normal body growth, 10 percent of the iron the children receive comes from what they consume. Lily may require a bit more per day. Lily will need treatment including a change in diet and or medication. The goal is to treat what caused the anemia and to bring the red blood cells back to normal.

...consumers and is losing direction. As the member of manager consultants, for this point, today we need to think out at least two options to advise her to improve the situation. Am I understood? And think a while... Okay, let's make a start. Who want to speak first? Lily: Well, in my opinion, Hi-Style could allocate £10m to new investment in the business. For example, it could improve distribution and sales through an exclusive agreement with a major retailer, which could provide a steady marketing channel. Second, to launch new product ranges with major advertising campaigns. Thus, new products will be known to customers. Hi-Style could definitely reach wide publicity. Thirdly, to employ brand development consultants so as to improve its image. Brand development consultants are more professional so that better brand image will be built, leading to its properous future. Fourthly, to hire a top retailing executive to run the business. Therefore, the business will be more smooth and sales will be increased. The last one is to commission City Associates to do a thorough review of all Hi-Style's activities, from which Hi-Style could catch a better understanding of the whole business to control its operation.

...Sonic people call them habits, a good word for them. Habits are hard to break. The store has a huge wooden sign outside it, in the shape of a golden lily; Lilies of the Field, it's called. You can see the place, under the lily, where the lettering was painted out, when they decided that even the names of shops were too much temptation for us. Now places are known by their signs alone. Lilies used to be a movie theater, before. Students went there a lot; every spring they had a Humphrey Bogart festival, with Lauren Bacall or Katharine Hepburn, women on their own, making up their minds. They wore blouses with buttons down the front that suggested the possibilities of the word undone. These women could be undone; or not. They seemed to be able to choose. We seemed to be able to choose, then. We were a society dying, said Aunt Lydia, of too much choice. I don't know when they stopped having the festival. I must have been grown up. So I didn't notice. We don't go into Lilies, but across the road and along a side street....

History in general is a fascinating way to travel with our minds and learn more about our past, about what made us a society, how did we get to be what we are. The book that I mentioned earlier is called Snow Flower and The Secret Fan by Lisa See. The story takes place in nineteenth-century China, in a remote Hunan county, where a girl named Lily, at the tender age of seven, is paired with a laotong, or “old same”, in an emotional match that will last a lifetime. As the years pass, Lily and Snow Flower send messages to each-other on a fan and compose stories on handkerchiefs, as a way to escape their reality, a way to share their dreams and hopes. They also...

...A Study of the Allusions in Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 Author(s): Peter Sisario[->0] [(essay date February 1970) In the following essay, Sisario examines the source and significance of literary allusions in Fahrenheit 451 and considers their didactic potential for the beginning student of literature.] Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 is more than just a readable and teachable short novel that generates much classroom discussion about the dangers of a mass culture, as Charles Hamblen points out in his article "Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 in the Classroom." It is an excellent source for showing students the value of studying an author's use of specific allusions in a work of fiction. While writing excellent social criticism, Bradbury uses several direct quotations from works of literature, including the Bible; a careful analysis of the patterning of these allusions shows their function of adding subtle depth to the ideas of the novel. Fahrenheit 451 is set five centuries from now in an anti-intellectual world where firemen serve the reverse role of setting fires, in this case to books that people have been illegally hoarding and reading. Literature is banned because it might potentially incite people to think or to question the status quo of happiness and freedom from worry through the elimination of controversy. "Intellectual" entertainment is provided by tapioca-bland television that broadcasts sentimental mush on all four walls. The novel, first written in a shorter version...

...III. Objectives The objective of the plant visits is to explore and understand practical study about the field. The students will have a first-hand experience of the technology, business model, operations and maintenance. IV. SUMMARY/CONTENT VILLAR FOUNDATION The waste plastic factory was our first stop. The Villar Foundation and the local community are in charge of collecting and segregating the plastic wastes, which are then shredded, washed, dried, melted and molded in the plant. The Villar Foundation aims this kind of project not just to clean and protect the environment but to provide livelihood to the poor. They can produce 1000 armchairs in a month. About 24 kilos of mixed soft plastics such as those used as food wrappers are needed to make a chair, which can be fashioned to look like wooden pieces and comes with replaceable parts. Amazingly, the chairs made up of plastics could last up to 20 years. From the coconut husk that the vendors gave to the foundation the fiber can be extracted through a decorticating machine, the decorticated coconut will be air dried, then the fiber and the dust will be separated through dusting, the fiber will be twined and lastly they’ll weave it to make a coco net. To lessen the waste Las Pinas produces the Villar Foundation also started a project to turn wet waste into soil conditioners and Vermicompost through composting.

He had never seen aircraft so close, for it was against the rules for Pilots to fly over the community. Occasionally, when supplies were delivered by cargo planes to the landing field across the river, the children rode their bicycles to the riverbank and watched, intrigued, the unloading and then the takeoff directed to the west, always away from the community. 第 1 页 共 102 页 http://www.en8848.com.cn/ 原版英语阅读网 But the aircraft a year ago had been different. It was not a squat, fat-bellied cargo plane but a needle-nosed single-pilot jet. Jonas, looking around anxiously, had seen others- adults as well as children- stop what they were doing and wait, confused, for an explanation of the frightening event. Then all of the citizens had been ordered to go into the nearest building and stay there. IMMEDIATELY, the rasping voice through the speakers had said. LEAVE YOUR BICYCLES WHERE THEY ARE. Instantly, obediently, Jonas had dropped his bike on its side on the path behind his family's dwelling. He had run indoors and stayed there, alone. His parents were both at work, and his little sister, Lily, was at the Childcare Center where she spent her after-school hours. Looking through the front window, he had seen no people: none of the busy afternoon crew of Street...
