APPLE
Since when I was a child I grew up eating apples without knowing how healthy they are.
Apple also means fruit in general. This is ultimately derived from European descent In the 17th
century, this word also functioned as a generic term for all fruit and is a fruit that comes from a
tree that has to grow and gives many apples every certain time during the year. Generally
standing 6 to 15 ft tall in cultivation and up to 30 ft in the wild. When cultivated, the size, shape
and branch density are determined by rootstock variety and providing method. It has some leaves
that are alternately arranged dark green-colored simple ovals with serrated margins and slightly
downy undersides. Flowers are produced in spring concurrently with the budding of the leaves
and are produced on spurs and some long shots. Eating apples makes you believe that you are
eating healthy. The 3 to 4 cm flowers are white with a pink tinge that gradually fades, five-
petaled, with an inflorescence consisting of a cyme with flowers. The central flower of the
inflorescence is called the king bloom, it opens first and can develop a larger fruit. The fruit
matures in late summer or fall, and cultivars exist in a wide range of sizes. Apples are a healthy
fruit, for medicine and they are used for making juice. The skin of ripe apples is generally red,
yellow, green, pink, or russeted, though several bi-colored cultivars may be found. The skin may
also be wholly or partly russeted rough and brown. The skin is covered in a protective layer
of epicuticular wax. I eat apples all the time because I like their taste and I know they are
healthy, also, I prefer to eat an apple other than just chips.

BACKPACK
A backpack is a useful item that people use mostly academically, it is a cloth sack put on
somebody's back that usually has two straps that go over the shoulders which a person can carry
without no problem. Also, it is used to carry things on it, and it often has many compartments to
carry things, like school items or even soccer shoes or a laptop. People often use backpacks all
the time for school, for example, I use it for school because it is easier to organize myself for

school and that way I can save some time for myself. Also, they are used on camping trips, hikes,
or any form of outdoor activity where people need to carry many things. Backpacks are also used
in the military by soldiers, usually, they are green with camouflage, I like the camouflage
backpacks. I have a large backpack which I used to carry loads over 10, also I have another
smaller that I use for sports. Usually, offload the biggest part of their weight onto padded hip
belts. This leaves the shoulder straps mainly for keeping the load in place. This makes it easier to
carry heavy loads because the hips are stronger than the shoulders. It also improves agility and
balance, because the load lies closer to the center of mass of the person wearing it. Also,
backpacks are from different colors and sometimes are required to be used. For example, I ride a
motorcycle and I can't just use any backpack when riding it because it's uncomfortable. I use this
gray, big, nice and comfortable Columbia backpack that allows me to drive the bike without any
problem.
PILLOW
Imagine not having a pillow while sleeping, how would it feel and what could happen to
your neck or body while. Pillows are a cloth case stuffed with something soft, such as down,
feathers, or foam rubber, used to cushion a part of the body, especially the head during sleep. I
use this big, nice and soft pillow that allows me to sleep very well, I can’t imagine seeing myself
sleeping without not having a pillow because I already got used to it, especially when it comes to
cold weather. I have been sleeping with my pillow for like 4 months already, which leads me to
believe that I will need a new one soon, that one that I have started to feel a little uncomfortable
and is starting to not be soft at all. However, pillows also can be protected. You can put them in a
cover that will last until a few months. Also, if you want the softest, gentlest pillow, go for down.
Down comes from a bird’s fluffy undercoat that is softer afterward. Down pillows are soft, puffy
and supple, and known for ultimate luxury. A popular type of down pillow is European goose
down with a fill power of 600 and up. Down pillows are fluffy, light and cozy, but are not meant
to provide support.
