    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

She often grows plants such as roses, dahlia and sunflower etc. And other plants she grows is vegetables such as tomatoes, chilies, papaya and binjal etc. She grows these types of flowers in her free time because it's like a second nature for her.

And moreover, she grows vegetables such as chilies and tomatoes as I mentioned earlier. She grows these types of plants because to help my father to cover his expenses and for providing us with organic food. Back in 2022, she had a spinal injury that prevented her from growing plants. Doctor advised her to not engage in such types of activities. But planting was like a second nature for her. So after seeing her situation, me and my brother decided that we will help her for planting these types of vegetables and flowers.

    So, I'm going to talk about one of the prominent figure that I have met. She works in the field of ophthalmology but gardening is her hobby. Whenever I went to visit her, she tend to be on call, talking mostly to her gardener. She decorates her hospital with a lot of plants, especially bonsai. I have also become a fan of bonsai. They are very beautiful. It takes great measure to make a majestic tree into a tiny one. She is very particular about the placement of plants and the maintenance of them. She is reluctant in maintaining the place with pristine structure and organization. She often insists her gardener to bring different saplings like mango trees, neem trees and banyan trees. She also owns a mango estate. She tries to manage both her work and gardening equally. The entrance to her department is very beautiful. What impresses me the most is that she is a renowned ophthalmologist. She has a full-time job. She is also a very elderly person. She has to manage her health. Amongst all of these, she still manages to maintain a beautiful garden. She even erects some god and goddess statues in between these small tiny plants. She also insured a new facility that was opened in a different district to have a vertical garden. She researched about this vertical garden.
