Pomegranate

According to Mark Twain, “When one has tasted pomegranates, he knows what the angels eat”. The Pomegranate is a fruit considered to have originated in Iran. It has been cultivated since ancient times, and it is imported to the United States from Spain. In many countries this fruit is consumed as a medicine due to its rich content of vitamin C and vitamin K. However, In my house this fruit is not only purchased and consumed because of It’s benefits, but because of its delightful taste, smell, and texture inside. The pomegranate is a delicious and unique fruit, that has to be eaten appropriately in order to enjoy it.

A word that characterizes pomegranate is unique. The first thing you see when grabbing a pomegranate is an attractive shrub or small tree decorating it at the top. The leaves are evergreen, opposite or in rolls of five or six. When the pomegranate is completely open, you can see the shape of a flower, with every leaf covered with red seeds. It looks like a honeycombed has been cut into slices and the honey in this case are the seeds. Also, pomegranates are wide and characterized by the thick, tubular, red petal having five fleshy, pointed sepals forming a vase from which emerge the three to seven crinkled, red, or white petals enclosing the numerous stamens. Pomegranate has a tough leathery skin and it is basically yellow more or less overlaid, with light or deep pink or rich red. The interior is separated by membranous walls and white spongy tissue into compartments packed with transparent sacs filled with tart, flavorful, fleshy, juicy, red, or pink pulps. In each sac, there is one white or red angular soft seed. When is open you can notice that the seeds is the weight of the whole fruit.

    “Taken for Pomegranate” by Dave Lazarus appeared in Men's Health in March 1997. This monthly magazine has published articles written for the general public on various health issues that appeal to men; usually, the articles are well-written, but this article was poorly done. For example, Lazarus' purposes were to inform, persuade, and entertain, but he was only partially successful. The attempted humor was supposed to increase the entertainment value, but it diminished his credibility; his childish comments ruined his ability to inform or persuade. Why would readers want to follow the advice of someone who thought human sacrifice was “cool” (Lazarus 50)? Even though professional writers should present information in an unbiased logical,…

    "Oranges" begins with Gary Soto narrating one of his life experiences in this poem. He remembers a particular experience of walking side by side with a girl.

    Jazz music has always existed as a voice for black musicians and audiences. The sounds and rhythms are extremely unique and colorful. It certainly changed America in the 1920's with the swing movement and it put jazz on the map. During this time many white people started to be influenced by this infectious music, and started to enjoy it. Many white people also discriminated against blacks and treated them as less than equal. A goal for an artist named Billie Holiday was to make America listen to the cries of a black man, a black man who was just lynched. Jazz music had to be recognized with its roots. Billie Holiday believed Jazz music had to defend the black people. No better way of being heard than through the voice of Holiday. She attempted to fight for black rights through her song “ strange fruit”, a political song that struck a chord for many Americans.…

    Throughout time, slavery made a near-permanent mark on America. With that mark came the marks of brutal beatings and even to the extreme of impressions of nooses left around lynching victims necks. The practice of lynching began in South Carolina in the late 1760s as the country’s first notable move toward vigilantism. By the 1800’s lynching became known as the “lynch law”. Lynching was actually legal and something whites gathered together for and enjoyed as a sport. White people enjoyed lynching blacks all together. Whites would have their kids in attendance to watch a black person die from being lynched and the white kids enjoyed they thought it was quite entertaining. At that time and age kids should be disgusted with seeing a human hanged from a rope and cutting their genitals off. The components of lynching changed considerably. It also became a method of administering punishment to people whose behavior was not socially acceptable. Examples were men who beat their wives or failed to provide for their families, or women who did not or women who did not live up to community standards of lady hood, could expect a visit from local groups of white cappers or lynches‘. However lynching was not the first option of punishment to slaves. They actually were punished on their plantation thus providing immediate enforcement on their rules to the control to the black population and reducing the need for formal law enforcement.…

    “Strange Fruit” is one of the best poems written around the topic of segregation and racism. “Strange Fruit” was produced in the late 1930s, the same time that African Americans in the South were being lynched by white supremacist groups in the days of America’s Abolition movement. Throughout the movement, the stress on seeing no evil and hearing no evil at this time was strongly enforced. Yet, Abel Meeropol expressed the horrors that African Americans experienced throughout this Abolition. When Billie Holiday performed this poem as a song, it had a more meaningful level to it, as she suffered the hardships through the Abolition, herself. In the poem “Strange Fruit,” by Billie Holiday and Abel Meeropol, the visual image represents the tension and segregation in the South in the 1930s.…

    “Strange Fruit” ,a poem written by Abel Meeropol in 1929, was a world renowned piece of writing. This poem was a result of Meeropol’s reaction to the picture of a lynching that took place during that time. He was already disturbed by the racism that existed, but was horrified after seeing a picture taken of two hanging bodies. Then after putting it to song, it was sung by Billie Holiday who was heard around the world. I find that this poem is a chilling act of defiance against the inhumane act of hanging another man.…

    Music has been very important part of people’s life since long time ago. Throughout the history, we could observe how people at those days used music as part of their lives. People became happy when they sing and listen to music. People were comforted by music when they were in deep sorrow. Furthermore, people sang music when they work, harvest, and worship god. We could see how our culture is closely interrelated with music. “Strange Fruit” is the music that was composed to reflect the society and culture of that time. “Strange Fruit” was composed during the time of segregation and the time when Ku Klux Klan was rampaging in the society. Black people were highly threatened by them and many of the black people were killed in horrible ways. So the composer wanted to record this song to protest against lynching of the black people in southern part of the United States.…

    The plant bears flowers and fruits all year round. The fruit is a multiple fruit that has a pungent odour when ripening, and is hence also known as cheese fruit or even vomit fruit. It is oval in shape and reaches 10–18 centimetres (3.9–7.1 in) size. At first green, the fruit turns yellow then almost white as it ripens. It contains many seeds. It is sometimes called starvation fruit. Despite its strong smell and bitter taste, the fruit is nevertheless eaten as a famine food[3] and, in some Pacific islands, even a staple food, either raw or cooked. Southeast Asians and Australian Aborigines consume the fruit raw with salt or cook it with curry. The seeds are edible when roasted.…
