Reаd the multi-pаrаgraph essay "The Mоst Pоpular Fruit" (1) What is the mоst popular fruit in the world? Among all the fruits are always mentioned fruits like oranges, apples, bananas, mangos, or pineapples. In reality the most popular fruit is the tomato! Surprised? Botanically speaking, tomato is a fruit, not a vegetable. More than 60 million tons of tomatoes are produced per year, 16 million tons more than the second most popular fruit, the banana. Apples are the third most popular (36 million tons), then oranges (34 million tons) and watermelons (22 million tons). These numbers make the tomato the world’s most popular produced fruit. However, which fruit has affected not only people’s meals but also their lives, traditions, stories? Which fruit has dominated people’s culture the most? People’s answer will vary from the area or region of the world they come from. For many cultures throughout the world, the apple is the most fascinating fruit with a long history. Let’s see some of the ways in which apples fell off the tree into in some parts of the world. (2) Apple seeds have been spread throughout the world in myths, art, science, and literature since at least 6500 B.C. In Greek mythology, the apple appears as a mystical or forbidden fruit. According to the myth, the Trojan War started because of an apple. Paris of Troy was asked to select the most beautiful goddess Hera, Athena, or Aphrodite. He chose Aphrodite and that caused the war. In ancient Greece, throwing an apple at someone meant to declare one’s love, and similarly, catching it meant one’s acceptance of that love. Till the 17th century, the word “apple” used to be a generic term for all fruits. As a result, Renaissance artists painted an apple in the biblical scenes where Eve coaxed Adam to share with her even though in the Book of Genesis the forbidden fruit is not identified as an apple but “fruit from the Tree of Knowledge.” It was Hugo Van Der Goes who first implicated the apple as the forbidden fruit in his 1470 A.D. painting, The Fall of Man. As a consequence, the apple became a symbol for knowledge, temptation, sin, and seduction. In the 17th century in England, a new physical law gave birth to one of the most popular stories in science about an apple helping Newton to come up with the Universal Law of Gravitation. According to the story, Sir Isaac Newton was sitting under an apple tree. Suddenly an apple fell on his head, and Newton exclaimed “Eureka!” meaning “I found it!” That is how he thought of the Universal Law of Gravitation. Even though it isnot a true story, there might be some true elements. When he was observing an apple fall, he began thinking about what force made the apple move toward the ground. Now we call this force gravity. A hundred years later in Germany, Brothers Grimm wrote a story “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” and we all know what happened after Snow White took a bite of a poisoned apple! Another famous German legend about William Tell was first told in the 15th century. Tell was prisoned for not bowing in respect to a new Austrian king. The king commanded Tell shoot an apple off William’s son with a single arrow from his crossbow. William Tell took out two arrows and split the apple with one shot. When the king asked him why he took out more than one arrow, Tell said the second arrow was meant for the king’s heart in case he failed. Therefore, the command to shoot the apple of the boy’s head motivated the king’s murder. (3) This fruit has many seeds in the English language and American culture also. In the language, for example, the proverb “An apple a day, keeps the doctor away” is originated from the belief that the apple is the most curative fruit that contains the most vitamins than any other fruits. It’s recommended not to peel apples before eating since the peel contains two-thirds of the fiber and many antioxidants. Another common expression is “comparing apples and oranges,” meaning someone is trying to compare two incomparable things. The phrase "One bad apple spoils the whole bunch" alludes to corruptions in the United States. “A bad apple” can also refer to a bad individual among a good group. American culture has a cornucopia of traditions associated with the apple. What American hasn’t played “bobbing for apples” in the fall and especially Halloween? It’s a fun game for kids and adults. Apples are placed to float in a large bucket filled with water. Participants are trying to catch one apple in their teeth, without using hands. And of course, apple pies! Apple pies are an American icon, and their recipes were printed in the eighteenth century, and since then American apple pie has been a very popular dessert. A century later, apple pie became a symbol of American prosperity and national pride. A saying “as American as apple pie” means “typically American.” In World War II, supposedly the popular answer of American soldiers to the question why they went to war was “for Mom and apple pie.” Early in the twentieth century was created the most popular nickname of New York “The Big Apple.” The apple is the official state fruit of New York, Washington, Rhode Island, and West Virginia. Clearly, apples have been a major part of the American society. (4) It is safe to say the apple is the most popular fruit not only on our table but language, art, games, and books. This delicious fruit has touched many aspects of people throughout the world. INSTRUCTIONS: The essay has 4 paragraphs: Introduction, Body Paragraph 1, Body Paragraph 2, and Conclusion.
