Write an article based on this "Choose your book. Do some simple background research online. Take notes. Find your guides."
article: If this is your first time trying to critically analyze a text you should choose a book that isn't too far outside of your comfort zone. It is easier for you to think deeply about a book that you are not struggling to read. Pick a book from a genre you already like or one written in a time and a place with which you are familiar. If you can, choose a book by an author you already know and like. Consult an expert. There are professionals and amateurs alike who would love to match you with a work of great literature. These include: Librarians: high school, university, or your local public library Literary teachers: your high school English teacher Literary enthusiasts: your school might have a book club Book sellers: Amazon.com can offer recommendations, but also your local independent book store. The media: The New York Times Bestseller's List, NPR, Oprah's Book Club List Before you begin reading, it often helps to have some idea of what you will encounter within the book's pages. Learn some background on the author of the book. Find out what other works they wrote and how their writing fits into conversation with the other literature of the era. You can also find useful context and helpful guidance in book reviews online. This step can help you formulate questions that you'd like to answer as you read the book. Before you read, jot down a series of basic questions and keep track of your answers. You can keep a separate notebook for your answers or you can mark your book copy in the margins with a pencil. Consider the following questions: Who is the book about? What happens to the main characters in the story? Where and when does the book take place? How does the author tell this story? Is it written from one perspective, or several? Is it told by an omniscient (or all-knowing) narrator? Or is it told by the characters themselves? You may encounter difficulty with your work, and you do not necessarily have to go it alone. There are many guides available that can offer summaries, character profiles, commentary, and more.

Write an article based on this "Be ready at all times. Stand with your feet shoulder-length apart square to the net. Keep your knees bent. Keep your arms high. Keep your palms facing the net. Stay a half arm's length away from the net."
article: Timing is one of the most important aspects in blocking; a fraction of a second could be the difference between stuffing an opponent's attack and missing the ball completely. Being in the ready position will allow you to move more efficiently when attempting a block. Keeping your feet the proper distance apart will help with your footwork, another essential aspect of blocking. With your shoulders and hips square to the net you will be able to jump straight up more quickly. Keeping your knees bent is an essential part of the ready position. By keeping your knees bent you are ready to jump immediately rather than having to lower yourself and then jump up for the block. Be careful not to get lazy and stand straight up while waiting to block. Keep your arms high with your elbows around shoulder height. This also reduces the time it takes to get your arms up for the block. If they begin by your sides then they have much farther to travel to get high in the air. This puts them at the correct angle for blocking and again reduces the time needed to get your hands in position, making you a faster blocker. If you touch the net while attempting to block you will get a violation. Allow sufficient space between your body and the net to ensure you do not accidentally touch it.

Write an article based on this "Keep the soil slightly moist. Transplant once established Mulch annually. Protect from pests. Protect from strong winter sun. Prune the cherry tree as it grows Consider grafting Pollinate the blossoms Fend off birds"
article:
You'll want to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Once the cherry develops a taproot, test the soil to a depth of 3 inches (7.5 cm) and water whenever this feels dry. Water in a slow trickle until the soil is wet to the depth of the root. This won't take long at first, but remember to adapt as the cherry grows to a proper tree. . Once the plants have grown to about 6 in (15 cm), or large enough for their roots to compete or hit the base of a pot, give them some extra space. Either thin out the shortest sprouts or transfer them further apart. Each tree should have 20 ft (6m) of space. Keep in mind that transplanting is best done when trees are dormant, which is during the winter. Transplanting trees when they are actively growing will stress the trees and could kill them. Keep in mind that cherries can grow 2550 ft (7.615.2 m) tall, depending on variety. With pruning, you can keep this to 15 ft (4.6 m) or less. Top dress the trees with well-rotted compost every year in early spring. Start this the year after they sprout, since mulch can block seeds from breaking through. Fertilizer is best avoided with young trees, since it's easy to burn them. The compost should give plenty of nutrients. The most difficult part of growing cherry trees is their susceptibility to pests and disease. Take these steps to protect them once they grow into proper trees: Surround young trees with a cylinder of wire fencing to protect against deer. Do this as soon as the trees start to come up. Once a month, look for holes in the trunk leaking ooze or sawdust-like frass. Poke a needle into these holes to kill insects. In spring, wrap trunks with mosquito netting to stop boring insects from laying eggs. In late fall, sink a hardware cloth barrier 2 inches (5cm) down into the soil on all sides to protect against rodents. This barrier should be high enough to protect against a rodent standing on expected snowfall. In early fall, whitewash the south side of the tree with white, nontoxic latex paint, diluted with water to a thin consistency. The trees are susceptible to sun damage during this time of year. Whitewash the north side instead if you are in the Southern Hemisphere. . Cherry trees aren't too difficult to prune, but a little will go a long way toward fruit production and aesthetics. Generally speaking, sour cherries just need a little pruning to keep the branches symmetric. For sweet cherries, prune back the central leader to promote lateral growth instead. . Left alone, your cherry tree will often take five or more years to bear fruit, if it can manage it at all. Grafting is a little risky with seed-grown trees, since you don't know the variety, but your local nursery may be able to recommend a fruiting species. You can graft this onto a two-year old tree and have fruit by the third or fourth year if the graft takes. . The beautiful flowers alone are reason to grow cherry trees. If you'd like to see them replaced with fruit, though, they'll need to be pollinated. For most sweet cherries, this means you'll need a second variety of sweet cherry nearby, blooming at the same time. Honeybees are the most common pollinator for cherries. If you're using pesticides, make sure they don't affect this important species. . No one has ever grown cherries without giving birds a share. If you're lucky enough to see fruits starting to form, set up your defenses before they finish ripening. There are several ways to distract or scare off the birds, including planting mulberries (which they find even tastier) and hanging shiny objects from the cherry branches. Commercial growers will also drape netting over their trees to keep birds and other pests away from the fruit.
