How to Write a Narrative Essay on Women Empowerment

How to Write a Narrative Essay on Women Empowerment The process of composing a story is known as narrative essay writing. In this third guide, we discuss tips and strategies which, if incorporated well enough, will allow you to write a liberal, informative and compelling narrative essay. If you want your professor to admire your work, we highly recommend that you follow everything we’ve outlined in this guide. If you skipped through our first and second guide, 10 facts for a narrative essay on women empowerment and 20 topics for a narrative essay on women empowerment essay respectively then we urge you to go read them first before reading this final guide. It is absolutely vital to thoroughly check those two guides first as they discuss credible facts and great some topics to choose for your narrative essay writing. If you’ve already gone through our first and second guide then let’s get started: What Is a Narrative Essay Unlike other essays where you have the reader skewed towards your thesis, thought, argument or idea, a narrative essay is about explaining what you experienced at a particular event. Such type of essays merely enlightens the reader so as to what your personal experience was during the course of a particular event as opposed to persuading them to agree to an opinion or argument of yours. How it’s Written A narrative essay must not only be interesting to read but it should also retain your audience’s attention. This can be achieved by writing vivid and colorful details of your personal experience or account that is of relevance. A good narrative should include your point of view on the event that took place; i.e   your thoughts, actions and emotional state during the event. Composing the Essay Before you start to write a narrative essay, it is essential for you to point out the events you’ll be discussing in your paper. You need to plot your narrative essay first before you start writing, which greatly helps to write an exemplary essay. Start with an introduction which is interesting to read and catches the attention of the reader. It should include a brief description in the next paragraphs so as to what you’ll be talking about along with other highlights that will be discussed in the topic. In the body, explain in detail the personal experience you had in regards to an event, which in this case, is women empowerment. Writing about the experience you went through makes your essay interesting to read and compels your audience to read it further and relate to your point of view. Finally, in the conclusion, you will reinstate the core points discussed in the essay and conclude it in a way that the reader clearly understands your motives and intentions behind writing on the topic in question. That’s it! You are now ready to write a narrative essay on your own. Be sure to proofread your paper before you submit it so that your professor appreciates your hard work.

The Domestication History of Chickpeas

The Domestication History of Chickpeas Chickpeas (Cicer arietinum or garbanzo beans) are large roundish legumes, that look rather like a large round pea with an interesting bumpy surface. A staple of Middle Eastern, African and Indian cuisines, the chickpea is the worlds second most widely grown legume after the soybean, and one of the eight founder crops of the origins of agriculture on our planet. Chickpeas store really well  and are high in nutritive value, although they are not very disease resistant, compared to other legumes. The wild version of chickpeas (Cicer reticulatum) is only found in parts of what is today southeastern Turkey and adjacent Syria, and it is likely that it was first domesticated there, about 11,000 years ago. Chickpeas were part of the culture that first developed farming on our planet, called the Pre-Pottery Neolithic period. Varieties Domesticated chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans) come in two main groups called desi and kabuli  but you can also find varieties in 21 different colors and several shapes. Scholars believe that the oldest variety of chickpea is the desi form;  Ã‚   desi are small, angular, and variegated in color. The desi likely originated in Turkey and was subsequently introduced into India where kabuli, the most common form of chickpea today, was developed. Kabuli have large beige beaked seeds, which are more rounded than desi. Domesticating Chickpeas The chickpea gained several very useful features from the domestication process. For example, the wild form of chickpea ripens only in the winter, while the domesticated form can be sown during the spring for summer harvest. Domestic chickpeas still grow best in winter when there is adequate water available; but during the winters they are susceptible to Ascochyta blight, a devastating disease which has been known to wipe out entire crops. The creation of chickpeas that could be grown in summer decreased the riskiness of relying on the crop. In addition, the domesticated form of chickpea contains nearly twice the tryptophan of the wild form, an amino acid that has been connected with higher brain serotonin concentrations and higher birth rates and accelerated growth in humans and animals. See Kerem et al. for additional information. Genome Sequencing The first draft whole genome shotgun sequence of both desi and kabuli breeding lines was published in 2013. Varshney et al. discovered that genetic diversity was slightly higher in the desi, compared to kabuli, supporting earlier contentions that desi is the older of the two forms. The scholars identified 187 disease resistance genes homologies, considerably fewer than other legume species. They hope that others will be able to use the information collected to develop superior varieties with improved crop productivity and less susceptibility to disease. Archaeological Sites Domesticated chickpeas have been found at several early archaeological sites, including the Pre-Pottery Neolithic sites of Tell el-Kerkh (ca. 8,000 BC) and Djade (11,000-10,300 calendar years ago cal BP, or about 9,000 BC) in Syria, Cayà ¶nà ¼ (7250-6750 BC), Hacilar (ca 6700 BC), and Akarà §ay Tepe (7280-8700 BP) in Turkey; and Jericho (8350 BC to 7370 BC) in the West Bank.
