HELP ASAP Insects
By midsummer, biting insects like mosquitoes and fleas are out in full force in most parts of the United States. Unless you plan to stay inside, you will likely head to the store to load up on bug repellents. An excellent natural alternative to chemical bug repellents is the use of essential oils. Such oils, taken from natural substances, have been used for centuries for this purpose.

Essential oils repel insects because they block their sense of smell, fooling them into thinking they should go elsewhere for their meal. For example, to get rid of ants around the house, put drops of peppermint oil across the ant paths. This confuses the insects' scent trails and makes it impossible for them to find food. Similarly, you can confuse biting insects by wearing essential oils on your skin that do not allow them to sniff you out.

Oils that are strong smelling work best as bug repellents. Some of the most effective are peppermint, citronella, eucalyptus, and lavender. Applying a watered-down essential oil to the warmest exposed areas of your skin (backs of the knees, behind the ears, etc.) will discourage bugs from using your skin as a landing strip. However, make sure not to use sweet-smelling or perfume-like oils.

i have read the novel roll of thunder hear my cry by mildred d. taylor.

1. this isn't like any other story i've read or watched because it is about a black family in mississippi right after slavery in the u.s. had become illegal. most of the novels i have read were about slavery. another point is that the author of the novel used symbolism in a way i haven't seen before. for example she uses thunder as something negative meaning something bad will happen. but by the end of the novel, she made thunder a good thing.

2.   one character that changed during the novel was stacey. stacey is the eldest child of the black logan family. around the begging of the novel stacey was avoiding the white boy jeremy simms. he had a dislike for jeremy's family. but at the end of the novel stacey began to like jeremy.

3. the author starts the novel with the problem that the children of the logan family have to avoid the white kid school bus while walking to school.

normally working animals are domesticated and ruled by a master, a domesticator (tamer), to perform basic and important functions on a farm, for example. the value used in this context is animal labor in exchange for food. it is not so much a contrast to the story told by napoleon and the pigs, since the animals of that particular farm also performed functions on the farm through domestication. the only thing is that in this case, who rules them is a pig, also an animal, but very respected, to whom the other animals lent him submission. that's about a strong relationship of dependency between animal and owner.
