Papaya

The papaya is a fruit of the tree. It is a small tree, the single stem growing from 5 to 10 m tall, with spirally set leaves confined to the top of the trunk, the lower trunk is obviously scarred where leaves and fruit were borne. The leaves are large, 50-70 cm width, deeply palmately lobed with 7 lobes. The tree is typically unbranched if unlopped. The flowers are similar in shape to the flowers of the Plumeria but are much slighter and wax like.

They appear on the axils of the leaves, maturing into the large 15-45 cm long and 10-30 cm diameter fruit. The fruit is ripe when it feels soft and its skin has attained amber to orange hue. The fruit's taste is vaguely similar to pineapple and peach, although much milder without the tartness, creamier, and more fragrant, with a texture of a little over-ripened cantaloupe. The primary use of the papaya is as an safe to eat fruit. The ripe fruit is generally eaten raw, without the skin or seeds. The unripe green fruit of papaya can be eaten ripe, usually in curries, salads and stews.

Public &Private school

Both schools offer the good education to the dearest of a parent’s heart, their children. Private schools on one hand would cost about $5,000 dollars a year. Unlike the public school, no weapons were ever found on any students of the private school, but if there ever were, students would be axiomatically thrown out with no refund of their money. Some parents may think it’s worth the cost of a private school to keep there children safe. These numbers will too, affect the ability for students to focus and become undistracted on their education and extra curricular activities. Private schools would give all that to students as long as they receive their monthly payment of upto $483 dollars. With uniforms, the students can go to school unafraid of being made fun of with what they are wearing because everyone looks the same. Others may believe there is plenty of authority and security in public schools to keep their children out of danger. The Students might feel like they should be going to school to impress and express them selves with what their wearing. In the private school, uniforms are strictly enforced and required. Although, the public school in Middletown does not enforce uniforms which can become a major distraction to the adolescent minds of the students.
