Bananarama, it is all a propaganda. Peel it from the top, you’ll be chop. Peel it from the bottom, you’ll be the new joker of Gotham.
This nonsense debate viciously appears every time you are enjoying a banana. Whether you are in a classroom, elevator, or restroom, everybody starts criticising you as if they are Simon Cowell for Banana Got Talent.
It is bananas how after years of Evolution, we still argue how to peel a banana. But we can stop this issue by simply peeling from the bottom of a banana (non-stem).
Now, why is it that people peel at the top of the banana (stem)? An issue with peeling the top is that it requires a lot of energy to snap the stem. Not everyone can break off the stem on the first try and I am those few people. The multiple tries of snapping the stem result to mushed parts and bruises at the top of the banana. And we all know that unattractive banana is a huge turnoff. Nutritionist Shona Wilkinson even explained how bruised banana “does make a [banana] more susceptible to infection.” (Slate) In other words, we are likely to ditch the banana if it looks ugly. Sorry banana… but it is a swipe left for you.

Due to the power of genetic modification, cavendish bananas have hard stems to resist natural disasters (The Conversation), which is also a huge issue to anyone who peels the banana from the top (stem). Then we have the monkeys who have been systematic in peeling bananas. Being that it’s their main diet, monkeys peel their banana from the bottom, since they want to peel where there is less
The first cartoon is with Theodore Roosevelt wearing hunting gear and holding a gun. There’s bull sitting on the moon reading the newspaper. There are different names for this political cartoon, like don’t shoot, I’ll come down, the beef trust and et cetera. This cartoon was made when TR was “trust busting” small corporations. After Jungle by Upton Sinclair, people and TR wanted changed. So changes were made and the Federal Meat Inspection Act of 1907, which made sure that inspections are made before meats are processed and ready to be delivered.
People are not prone to agree with one another. If you gather a dozen people together for a dinner party and the subject turns to politics or religion, then there is inevitably going to be an argument. There is one thing, however, that there is a near universal consensus on: chocolate is a wonderful and delicious thing.
I sit down, criss-cross applesauce on an odd-smelling carpet, waiting for my two favorite vegetables. Whether it be in Sunday School or at home, watching Veggie Tales was one of few activities that could hold the attention of my rambunctious seven year-old self for longer than 30 seconds. Known for its dreadfully catchy songs, Veggie Tales always meant singing Barbara Manatee, I Love My Lips, and The Hairbrush Song until my throat stung. The cucumber and the tomato didn't just mean dance parties around the living room, as they were the first ones to teach me to stand up for my beliefs. In an episode entitled Rack, Shack, and Benny with the song Stand Up, a piece of asparagus explained to me the importance of remaining firm in my beliefs, no matter
Jose Antonio Burciaga, in his essay “Tortillas”, leads us to believe that tortillas actually helped to make him who he is (507). I am not convinced that banana pudding helped to mold me into the man I am today, but it definitely plays a big role in many of the memories I have made throughout my life. As far as my family is concerned, banana pudding is more than a desert; it is a reminder of family gatherings, loved ones, and days gone by.
Tool-use is regularly reported in chimpanzees. They use many different tools to carry out many different tasks. They use sticks to fish for insects, stones and wood to crack open nuts, leaves to soak up liquid, and branches used as weapons to dominate opponents and frighten off predators. In making tools, they may use a variety of different materials to make the same kind of tool. For example, they use sticks, twigs, bark, and vines to fish for termites. They also may use the same material for different purposes. A leaf could be used as a termite probe, a napkin, or a sponge.
The second step shown in these monkey’s evolutionary progress is that now these animals appear to be goal oriented. Like mentioned previously, these monkeys had been working for themselves. They would do what ever they could to benefit themselves, get food, and have a nice place to sleep. Yet, once the changes begin and they have a leader, the monkeys begin to act as a group. They are more coordinated and it seems that their living style has changed from anarchy to monarchy. They attack a larger animal and kill it as a group. In turn, the raw meat is then split between the monkeys and everyone gets a share.
In this class, the stereotypes that were discussed were the ones that the cartoon portrays: violent and considered as an inferior race. The stereotype violent mainly came from Bare Knuckle boxing though because it was the best job an Irish man could get and they were reinforcing it. The stereotype inferior race came from the fact that the WASPs said that the Irish were black on the inside. They considered them as “simian, low browed and brutish” comparing them to Africans and apes, and also said that they were apelike, lazy, immoral, and uneducated. These stereotypes connect with inferior race because the WASPs think that they could have proved that the Irish were not just like them.
If you see a group of monkeys casually walking around in a grassland environment (like those shown on the right), you can be sure that they are from the Old World. Many of the larger New World monkeys have prehensile, or grasping, tails that are capable of being used as strong "third hands" for holding onto branches and supporting their bodies. None of the Old World monkeys or apes has this capability. Many species of Old World monkeys have ischial callosities , or hairless callous pads, on their rumps which may be adaptations for long periods of sitting or sleeping on rough branches and rocks.
Monoculture is the attempt to control a crop to maximize yield. Polyculture is the acknowledgement of nature’s control and the attempt to grow successful crops through changing the process of growing plants based on the ecological system around them. The people who grew early potatoes on the Andes grew a wide variety of different potato species so that not all of them were likely to be susceptible to the same disease (Pollan 131). Pollan’s discussion of these methods leans heavily toward the idea that even though monoculture is simpler and more profitable, it is an inferior method to polyculture that is mainly still in use to feed the capitalistic machine of the global food industry. Pollan contrasts the potato with other manipulated products such as beer, cheese, apples, and marijuana by claiming that the potato remains different in how the scientists working with it have dealt with it (133).
It is female and is content with the fruit that it has stolen from the owners of the house. The female monkey represents Eve. She’s closest to the tree like the monkey is closest to the centerpiece, and gave some to her husband like the female monkey gave her male companion the fruit as well. The monkey on the right portrays Adam in the Book of Genesis. He eats the fruit, but not all of it. He leaves it sitting on the table, staring at it, as if disappointed in himself for doing something against the rules. Humans evolving from monkeys is a common belief in the modern world. In Christianity however, Adam and Eve are who start the human race. This is also a modern twist on

The primates have shorter forelimbs, are upright and have strong, recognizable limbs. They move by leaping on the ground, a clear distinction between the other species and them. Their short arms limit their movement. Their hind limbs are, however, powerful. These primates were observed to be quite active during the day.
The baboon is the most widespread primate in Africa. Well-known for their remarkable ability to adapt, baboons can be found in a variety of habitats, ranging from semi-desert to rainforest, and from coastal areas to mountains. Their adaptability also extends to their feeding habits — baboons will eat just about anything. The baboon's diet includes a wide variety of plants, of which they eat every part: leaves, fruit, buds, flowers, roots, bulbs, tubers, seeds, shoots, bark and even sap. As for meat, these resourceful monkeys will eat insects, shellfish, small reptiles and amphibians, rodents, birds, fish, eggs and even young antelope or livestock.

All through history humans have rebelled against authority and overthrown their leaders whom they did not approve of. People do not readily accept others as their rulers, especially when they did not elect those rulers themselves. Some examples of this date back to the revolutionary war when the 13 colonies rebelled against their mother country of Great Britain. To the 13 colonies Britain probably seemed invincible. But the colonies rebelled anyway despite the great overwhelming power that Britain possessed. And with a little help from some outside supporters a new nation was formed from Britain’s former 13 colonies. This is what is unavoidable in the novel Childhood’s End.
