flower
Flowers play important roles in our everyday lives. They are beneficial to all of us. When someone is in the hospital, we bring flowers to cheer them up. Flowers are a great "pick-me-up." You send flowers to your loved ones on special occasions like Mother's Day or on birthdays to show how much you care. You might even get cuttings out of your garden to brighten up a room or for the fragrance.

Flowers also have healing properties. Not only do flowers help relieve stress, they are used in medicine. For example, rose petals are most commonly used by women for relieving heavy periods. Rose hips are found in vitamin C. Hibiscus flowers are extremely helpful in diuretics. Passionflower calms the nerves and helps you sleep. Violets reduce fever. Chrysanthemums are good for headaches and high blood pressure.
Main Function
The primary function of the flower is reproduction or pollination. There are three steps that the flower goes through to produce other flowers. First is pollination. Most flowers rely on butterflies, bees, bats or hummingbirds to assist in the pollination process, to carry the pollen from one plant to another, while others rely on the wind for transport of pollen. One might say, "Flowers dress themselves to attract insects and the like to them." This is point on, because this is actually the mechanism that the flower develops so the "assistants" will be attracted to them. Some flowers use an aroma to attract their pollinators.

    • 1 Page

    "The Flowers" contains a multitude of symbolic references, including Myop's name itself. The young girl's name is derived from myopia, also known as near-sightedness. For the girl to fully understand the complications of her racial background, she must closely experience the severe violence of racism, which effectively occurs in the story’s climax. As Myop is walking along the shallow banks, she observes "tiny white bubbles disrupt the thin black scale of soil." Myop comes from a sharecropper family and has been directly affected by racial issues, symbolized in this story by the "white bubbles" disrupting the "black scale of soil'. The representation of racial problems becomes further iterated by Myop's discovery later within the woods.…

    The Flower Motif

    During the renaissance, many great works of literature were created due to the renewed interest in the classical Greek and Roman learning (The Middle Ages). For example, A Midsummer Night's Dream by, William Shakespeare, is a story of 4 lovers who get mixed up with Titania, Oberon, and Puck during the time of Duke Theseus and Hippolyta's wedding. The story begins with the argument between Hermia, Helena, Lysander, and Demetrius getting mixed up with Puck's love potion. Then, the play ends with the wedding and a play preformed by the rude mechanicals. Moreover, the use of the flower motif is significant, because it helps develop the theme of love in the play.…

    Fetch Me That Flower

    “Fetch me that flower; the herb I shew’d thee once: The juice of it on sleeping eye-lids laid will make or man or woman madly dote upon the next live creature that it sees” Says Oberon to Puck as he describes the effect the love potion has on mortals. This sounds strikingly similar to the sensation of “Love at first sight”. Although most of the conflict in the Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream arises from true love rather than the magical idea of Love that Oberon describes here, this statement shows us just one of the kinds of love that Shakespeare brings to the Play. The multifaceted nature of love is shown consistently throughout the play as the audience witness the paternal love of Egius and Helena, The forbidden love of Hermia and Lysander, Unrequited love which Helena and Demetrius are victims of, the vengeful love of Oberon and Titania, The exaggerated romantic love that the lovers experience as a result of the potion and lastly the abstract companionship of the Mechanicals which some critics may interpret as being love of some kind.…
