This isn%26#039;t my homework, but I think it would be better to do my english homework on poems I have somesort of understanding of instead of just picking two poems.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
The Flower
Poem lyrics of The Flower by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
Once in a golden hour
I cast to earth a seed.
Up there came a flower,
The people said, a weed.
To and fro they went
Thro%26#039; my garden bower,
And muttering discontent
Cursed me and my flower.
Then it grew so tall
It wore a crown of light,
But thieves from o%26#039;er the wall
Stole the seed by night.
Sow%26#039;d it far and wide
By every town and tower,
Till all the people cried,
%26quot;Splendid is the flower!%26quot;
Read my little fable:
He that runs may read.
Most can raise the flowers now,
For all have got the seed.
And some are pretty enough,
And some are poor indeed;
And now again the people
Call it but a weed.
Can somesone give me a quick anaylsis of this poem %26quot;The flower%26quot;? and At the End by Ed Meek?
hmm well if you look at this and go no deeper then the words on the paper its about someone planting a seed and it growning... then people putting it down, then admiring it and then once again putting it down. But well actually im not sure how deep this poem goes.
The one about the old man was really good though... Yes at the end %26quot;He was ready to wade on in%26quot; means he was ready to accept death
Reply:The Tennyson poem is rather uninteresting and unenlightening if you take it at face value. But Tennyson was a major poet and I wonder if there isn%26#039;t something more here than the little story of a flower%26#039;s rise to popularity and then its decline again to weed status. What occurs to me is that maybe he is talking by analogy about his style of writing poetry. At first it wasn%26#039;t appreciated - considered a weed in the garden of poetry. But then others started imitating it - stealing it to his way of thinking - and suddenly it became widely popular. Then it became too widely imitated and people got tired of it and again didn%26#039;t care for it. This is all a guess on my part and could well be very wrong. To me it is not one of his better poems by any means. When you think of something like %26quot;Crossing the Bar%26quot; it seems pretty mundane and unimaginative.
The second poem there is no doubt about. It is a profound subject treated with great reality and feeling. It is not done by as accomplished a user of language as the first one, but the subject and the sincerity of it more than make up for it in my opinion. It has an immediacy that puts you right there feeling the old man%26#039;s pulse and realizing he will soon be gone, and that he is ready to accept it.

Flower girl present?
If I were having a flower girl, I would get her a gift certificate to build-a-bear. Eight year olds still like stuffed animals and since you%26#039;re building the wedding of her dreams let her build the stuffed animal of her dreams. You could even pre-purchase a little wedding dress for the finished product to wear.
Reply:both good ideas, maybe a silver locket or necklace with her initial on it, that way she can wear her keepsake? I did that with my flower girl and she still wears it to this day and that was over 6 years ago and she is now 13.
Reply:i got my flower girl a little peuter jewellry box with her name and the date of our wedding engraved on the top.
Reply:Keep it simple - how about a pretty locket?
Reply:I think it depends on your relationship to the flowergirl. When I get married, the flower girl is going to be his 7 year old half-sister, and so I would like to get her something with a sister theme (maybe get us matching pendants/bracelets, etc.), especially since she is an only child in her household, so gaining a sister will be a big deal for her.
I think if you know her pretty well, something that makes her feel really special to you is a nice way to commemorate the day, and if you aren%26#039;t really familiar with her, jewlery she can wear on the day of the wedding is a good idea, because it also helps cover a part of her wardrobe (which I%26#039;m sure her parents will appreciate!).
Best wishes and congrats!!
Reply:I love the star idea - that%26#039;s adorable. How about some cute earrings or inexpensive jewelry for her to wear at the wedding?
Reply:i bought mine a picture frame so she could have what ever picture she wanted from the wedding as well as a bracelet
Reply:I%26#039;m sure that she would love anything that you got her. My flower girl is 8 as well and I got her present back at Christmas when everything was on sale. I got her the Brats Dolls dressed up as a Bride and Groom. Her mom said that she would love it and it%26#039;s probably the cheapest present I%26#039;ll get to buy. Just keep in mind that she%26#039;s 8 when you pick out her present. Good Luck!
Reply:Im getting mine ages 7 and 10 gold Id bracelets.
Well actually my mom bought them but they are from me.
Reply:Hi. Congratulations on your marriage.
When I was married, I gave my flower girl a cute little, inexpensive bracelet and earing set that she was able to wear for the wedding. You may want to try something that she can use for more than just the wedding. That is why I went with the bracelet and earrings. She wears them everywhere. It doesn%26#039;t have to be flashy or expensive. But something that she can wear to dress up or to wear with jeans and a tee shirt. I think you could even go with a cute necklace. Also, while at a gift shop one day, I ran across a snowglobe that played the song %26quot;The Rose%26quot;, which on the inside of the globe had a little %26quot;precious moments%26quot; flower girl holding a basket of petals. It was the cutest thing. You can even have her name etched on the bottom. Things like this can be found at gift shops, eBay and different shops on the internet. Good luck. I%26#039;m sure whatever you pick for her will be great. I%26#039;m sure she%26#039;ll love it.
Reply:Since my wedding is so close to Easter, I made baskets for the younger members of my wedding party. I filled the baskets with suckers, a diary, play make-up, and a pretty compact mirror. The girls in my wedding aren%26#039;t flower girls, but are more like greeters. They are ten and eleven so I wanted to give them gifts that make them feel a little more grown-up.

What can I mix in the soil of my flower box to deter my kittens from using it as a potty?
I have an 12 foot flower box outside of my bedroom windows (it runs across the front wall of my house), I also have 2 6-month old kittens who insist on using it as a litter box. Now the front of my house smells incredibly bad whenever you get near the front door. I have plastic flowers inbedded in the box so theres no living organisms in danger of losing life, but I don%26#039;t want any harm to come to the kittens. I thought mixing coffee grounds might deter them and help with the smell, but if theres something else as harmless to use I%26#039;m open to the idea.
What can I mix in the soil of my flower box to deter my kittens from using it as a potty?
You could try adding a few drops of menthol or oil of eucalyptus as cats really dislike the smell. Alternatively, put something like small rocks or pine cones over the soil so that they can%26#039;t get dig in it.
Reply:You can cover the soil with pinecones or a thick layer of sharp white rocks.
Reply:I%26#039;ve heard cats hate the smell of oranges, so you could put some orange skins in there, and they also hate anything really strong smelling like eucalyptus or menthol. Just don%26#039;t use ammonia! It smells like cat pee to them and they will want to mark it with their own pee.
Reply:I have used black pepper in my flower boxes. It burns their noses and makes them sneeze. Cats smell before they dig.
Reply:I would suggest covering the soil with river rocks, they are inexpensive and look nice. The cats wont want to scratch in there with the rocks on top.
Reply:Don%26#039;t mix the litter with the soil as that will just reinforce that behaviour. Cover the open areas with rocks or a screen to keep them out of it.
Reply:Start with a fresh flower box. The old one will have the odors of the cats%26#039; waste products embedded in it.
Once you set up your new flower box, crush some clay pots and put the sharp edges of the clay bits on top of the soil (you crush the clay pots by placing them on newspaper, wrapping the newspaper around the pots, and smashing them with a hammer). That should deter the kitties from getting into the flower box. Don%26#039;t bury the crushed clay bits - just place them on top of the soil.
Good luck!
Reply:put a few mothballs in there, they don%26#039;t like the smell.

Flower bed around pine trees?
Due to server soil loss in my back yard while always damp due to the run off of rain, I decided to build a flower bed around several trees with landscaping wood (Home Depot). Since built with no dirt added yet it has done it%26#039;s job to help out on the run off, but I was wondering if this will have any effect on the trees (Pine) once I do add soild/sand and so on. I seen no roots showing or damaged any during the process. In the front the measurement is about 20 inches high and on the back wall is about 27 inches due to the slopping that I have. Will this kill the trees, or do I need to build another barrier around the tree itself in order to not damage the trees or lower the wall as we have dogs!!!!!! My other concernis later on in the years will I have them end up on our house due to damage to the roots or trunk. Can anyone help me out here?? Thanks Kelly Just US Army retired and tons of things on the Honey Do list to do. Please e-mail me at stitzelk40@yahoo.com
Flower bed around pine trees?
Actually, at the depth you have the retaining bed (20 - 27 inches, is that right?) CAN harm the roots of the pine tree if you fill it up. Although you can%26#039;t see them, the main root system is only around 18 inches deep. The spread is usually as large as the dripline, however, there are roots that travel farther out. If you put more than like 4 inches of soil on top of the tree roots, you can smother the roots, causing the death of the tree. It won%26#039;t happen all at once, but it will happen. Trees are very prone to root compaction. If the roots are covered over, they can%26#039;t transpire oxygen the way they are supposed to.
I have 2 very large pine trees on my property, and I am now looking at having to have them removed because I think they are dying. One is only 10 feet from the corner of the house and the other is 15 feet. The prevailing wind comes from that direction. If one of them decides to go, it will be on the house.
Edit: With the extra info you have given, you may have a bigger issue here. If the slope is in danger of washing down, you may need to have a professional come in and assess the situation, like a Landscape Architect, or a Landscape Engineer. The slope may have to be terraced or somehow supported, more than just worrying about the topsoil runoff. In a flood, if it is that close to the house, the whole house may be in danger if the hillside becomes saturated. Without seeing what you are talking about, it is hard to judge. At the very least, you will want to plant vegetation to help control the erosion on the WHOLE hillside, not just around the tree. But, it would probably be in your best interest to have a professional look at it. Yes, it costs money, but how much more will it cost if the tree falls on the house, or the hillside falls away from the house?
Reply:You shouldn%26#039;t have to worry about the trees dying. Pine trees are pretty hardy. Just make sure you have enough drainage so water does not pond in the flower bed.
Reply:Doing anything to retain soil at the bases of tree, which is lost to run-off, is good, but I understand that flower beds are tough to grow in such deep shade as pines produce.
Have you considered using mulch (held in place by the landscaping you%26#039;ve already done) or a low-light ground cover plant (many ivies, periwinkle/vinca, etc.) rather than flowers? I%26#039;d hate to see you go to the trouble and expense for flowers that might not thrive.
Pines are notorious for coming down in high winds. They uproot far more easily than many trees, and their soft wood breaks, too. I%26#039;ve read many times that if you%26#039;re putting in pines, plant them the number of feet from the house, plus ten more, than the tree%26#039;s expected adult height. That way, if it does come down, it won%26#039;t hit the building.
If you%26#039;ve already got the pines, you can top them (have the tops removed by tree surgeons) to make them a safe height, add stakes and wires every 10 feet or so of the tree%26#039;s height, or take your chances--and keep your insurance up to date.

WHen pollination occurs in a flower, what else happens at the same time?
Four choices: A. fertilization occurs at the smae instant, B. the flower becomes more colorful, C. the endosperm enlarges, D. the ovary wall begins to wilt, E. the receptacle starts to wilt.
Thanks
WHen pollination occurs in a flower, what else happens at the same time?
I hope a teacher didn%26#039;t set this question, because it is so badly worded ...
None of these is precisely true. Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the stamens to the stigma (which can happen many ways, some active and some passive). Before fertilization happens, the pollen must germinate on the stigma and the pollen tube must grow down the style to the ovule. When the pollen tube reaches the ovule and enters it, the 2 sperm nuclei are released. It is here that the question was meant to ask %26quot;When fertilization occurs in a flower, what else happens at the same time?%26quot; The answer is that the second nucleus from the pollen tube fuses with two %26quot;polar nuclei%26quot; to form a [usually] triploid nucleus that divides repeatedly and becomes the endosperm.
So the answer is probably supposed to be %26quot;C%26quot;
