Erin Scheller - 23793699 Professor Steven Lindow & Cat Adams ESPM C192 16 November 2015 The Use of Fungal Viruses in the Control of Chestnut Blight: Addressing the Problem Chestnut Blight, caused by the fungus Cryphonectria parasitica, is responsible for the widespread death of Chestnut trees in North America occurring in the early twentieth century (1). Because of the detriment that this severe pathogen brought to American Chestnuts, researchers and environmentalists have sought ways to relieve the problem, most notably through the study of the role of the mycovirus CHV-1, or Cryphonectria hypovirus, as a biological control agent, as previously discussed (7).

Reading Response 2 1. A few examples of hyperbole from Miss Chestnut’s dialogue in the first few paragraphs are: “You’re up and down like a flea.”, “I’m assuming you weren't raised by animals.”, and “Is she blind, your mother?”.

I perceived sedaris’ characterization of miss chestnut as a kind of crotchety and uptight old woman. His use of language is effective in…

Evaluating Passionate Text: Significance of the Chestnut Tree in Jane Eyre The thunder rumbled through the clouds and as a sudden streak flashed across the sky; the lightning violently hit the tree and the repercussions of this (God-like) action had little arcs that danced across the thick, black sky. The tree hung in despair and disbelief, almost as if it were a weeping willow instead of a horse chestnut tree. In Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, “the chestnut tree is hit by lightning on the…
