The Jilting of Grandma Weatherall In Katherine Ann Porter’s short story, The Jilting of Grandma Weatherall, the author uses a condescending tone to pass her message. The recurrent theme in the story revolves around loss and grief of Granny Weatherall.

The theme of loss is also expressed when she recalls the death of her second husband, John. She sadly remembers the age of John when he died and compared it to the present age of her children. In her hospital bed, Granny Weatherall fails to recognize that she is sick, and her impending mortality near. She denies death, which is the ultimate loss for any human being, as she is haunted by other losses she had encountered through her eighty years of existence. Throughout the story, a sense of denial is felt. For instance, Granny Weatherfall fails to acknowledge that she is sick. She also seems to make references to her late husband, John, clearly indicating that she hasn’t…

The Polish government together with the help of non-governmental organizations are putting a lot of effort into combating environmental pollution of its country. The core cause of the dilapidation of the environment is the high rates of deforestation during the World War II, where four million acres of forest were destroyed, mining activities (such as those highlighted by Gąsiorek et al (2017) in Cracow and Katowice Voivodship which release a lot of dust and harmful metals such as zinc, Sulphur.

Air Quality Impacts One of the most profound effects of climate changes has been the deterioration of air quality in the United States. The Environmental Protection Agency reports that pollution levels in the country exceed national air quality standards for all common pollutants (EPA, 2019). Higher temperatures from global warming have increased allergens and air pollutants. In turn, the increase in air pollutants has made the air we breathe increasingly dangerous for our health, and is associated with acute respiratory and cardiovascular diseases (Crimmins et al., 2016). Changes to weather patterns due to climate change have further contributed to an increase and redistribution of outdoor air pollutants, including delicate particulate matter, ozone, and carbon dioxide (Crimmins et al., 2016). The quality of indoor air has also been impacted as outdoor air pollutants and allergens find their way into residential and commercial buildings (Crimmins et al., 2016). Human activity has contributed significantly to air pollution and global warming through the production of greenhouse gases and other harmful chemicals. Despite a person’s age, race, or social class, we all breathe in the…
