    Emma Marris presents us with a new way of viewing nature in the first chapter of her book, “Rambunctious Garden”. She explains that the definition of nature depicted in our “glossy magazines” describing a place “somewhere distant, wild and free” is incorrect, as it “blinds us” from the truth (Marris 1). Marris argues that we must adjust this definition to also include the nature found in “the bees whizzing down Fifth Avenue in Manhattan” and “the butterfly bushes that grow alongside the urban river” as well as the nature found in “managed national parks” (Marris 2). She uses experiences gained during her time spent in the forests of Hawaii and in Australia’s Scotia Sanctuary as evidence to support her argument. Marris also makes the point…

    Charles Chesnutt was not only a seminal African American writer, but also “the first African American fiction writer to be taken seriously in the white press” (Norton, 699). Chesnutt’s oeuvre is notable for addressing “the psychological and historical implications of racial thinking” (698) and for “questioning the very concept of ‘race’” (699). Chesnutt himself was light-skinned enough to be white-passing, but was in no way secretive about his race. Nevertheless, his public declaration shocked many white readers.…

    On March 13, 1900, the severed body parts of Ernst Winter were found, neatly packaged and distributed around the small Polish town of Konitz. Two days earlier, Ernst Winter was brutally murdered; his blood was drained from his body while each of his limbs were cut with a sawblade. The townspeople quickly made two assumptions about the murder: the murderer must’ve been Jewish because of the drained blood and the murderer must’ve been a butcher because of the incredibly precise incisions. This presumptuous criterion led directly to Adolph Lewy, the only Jewish butcher in Konitz. Staying true to their inherent prejudice, the common-people of Konitz associated the murder with a blood libel, which was a barbaric Jewish practice of ritually slaughtering Christian children and baking matzo with their blood.…
