He used it to describe two different people, and where one of them went to church. It would have been hard to do this using normal sentance structure Tue, 05 Dec 2023 23:18:33 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/362435?scroll_to=3197100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/362435?scroll_to=3197100 When the author writes things like "on one side of the two-lane road from downtown there were vast, well-manicured rolling hills" he is using imagery to try and give the reader of vivid picture of the setting and how it would look.

I think that he did this to emphasize the fact that they were growing very fast. This was the first time that the cells Henrietta had tried to grow had worked out and she was very exited Thu, 09 Nov 2023 11:34:48 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360677?scroll_to=3170174 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360677?scroll_to=3170174 They claim that global warming can affect people suffering from heart problems as their cardiovascular system has to work harder in high temperatures. It can also increase the ozone concentration which can damage lungs and affect people with asthma or lung diseases Thu, 02 Nov 2023 12:21:14 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360677?scroll_to=3170149 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360677?scroll_to=3170149 They say that climate change can cause droughts that will affect water and food supply, crop productivity will decline by about 50 percent by 2020, leaving 75-250 million people in Africa without adequate food or water.
