Combined Effects of Allelochemical and Pesticide Treatment on the Growth of Cucumber Plants
Get PDFAllelochemicals are biochemicals produced by one plant that inhibits the success of other plants in its vicinity. These allelochemicals are sometimes produced naturally or as a result of stimulus or stress. Ferulic acid is a widespread allelochemical found in cucumbers (Cucumis sativus). Artificial inhibitory chemicals such as the pesticide zeta cypermethrin may create new interactions with ferulic acid. We found that cucumbers acclimate to ferulic acid over time while the inhibitory effects of pesticide remained relatively constant over 14 days
\u27Strange Fruit\u27 A Rhetorical Analysis of Billie Holiday and Abel Meeropol\u27s Song about Lynching in the South
No full textCreated by a well known jazz singer Billie Holiday and English school teacher Able Meeropol, Strange Fruit is one of the biggest uncensored pieces of musical literature in the early 1900s. My paper uses a rhetorical perspective based on the three rhetorical appeals (pathos, ethos, and logos) to examine the strategies used in this song to enlighten the listeners about a devastating time period in terms of the history of race relations in America. The analysis talks about how well the rhetorical strategies are used in the context of that time. The song writers used their position as a jazz singer and a teacher to reach a wider audience. The fact that one of the writers was an African American individual increased the song\u27s ethos in bringing attention to the racial lynching problem. The song called the American audience of the time to help in a movement to rid the United States of racial lynching
