A Tale of Two Onion Experiences Did You Know?
The average American eats 20 lbs of onions every year.
Over 450 semi-truckloads of onions are eaten everyday.
o When an onion is cut, it releases chemicals that mix together and react with each other.
This reaction causes a gas to be released that irritates the eyes.
Read the following scenario:
Maria asks Terrance if he has any easy recipes she can cook when she goes on her big
camping trip. Terrance shares his recipe for campfire stew. When Maria glances at the
ingredient list she says, "Oh no. This won't work. I brought onions on our trip last summer. It was
such a hot and miserable day anyway. Then I had to sit cutting onions at the picnic table. My
eyes watered so much I could barely see what I was doing!"
Terrance looks at her surprised and says, We use this recipe every November when we do our
last trip of the season. It is almost too cold to have my fingers out of my gloves to cook, but I
choose this recipe BECAUSE it's one of the only times I can cut up an onion without my eyes
watering. I always figured that the fresh air outside helped to keep my eyes from watering."
Let's assume that Maria and Terrance react to onions in a similar way, what else could be
causing the difference in their experience?

[1] nothing that comes from the desert expresses its extremes better than the unhappy growth of the tree yuccas. tormented, thin forests of it stalk drearily in the high mesas, particularly in that triangular slip that fans out eastward from the meeting of the sierras and coastwise hills. the yucca bristles with bayonet-pointed leaves, dull green, growing shaggy with age like an old [5] man's tangled gray beard, tipped with panicles of foul, greenish blooms. after its death, which is slow, the ghostly hollow network of its woody skeleton, with hardly power to rot, makes even the moonlight fearful. but it isn't always this way. before the yucca has come to flower, while yet its bloom is a luxurious, creamy, cone-shaped bud of the size of a small cabbage, full of sugary sap. the indians twist it deftly out of its fence of daggers and roast the prize for their [10] own delectation why does the author use the words "bayonet-pointed" (line 4) and "fence of daggers" (line 9) to describe the leaves of the yucca tree? . to create an image of the sharp edges of the plant to emphasize how beautiful the plant's leaves are to explain when and where the plant grows to show how afraid the author is of the plant
