Out of all the short stories we read in the first marking period, I think the best is The Scarlet Ibis. First of all, the story itself is not mediocre, instead, it is erratic and unique. I think if this story was made into a movie, the film would be lucrative since it is a story that will stick with the reader. What makes this story better is the characters. I like that the family accepted Doodle even though he wasn’t born comely. Although, I didn’t like that the older brother is dissolute since…

Although ecofeminism helped to decenter the conceptuality of ‘male’ as a central subject of environmental debates, there were scholars who criticized the theory for homogenizing women and for assigning essentialist characteristics to women as a group (references). Critics like Agarwal (1992) and Jackson (1996) drew attention to the necessity of understanding women’s actions and knowledge in context of everyday political economy, division of labor and property rights (references).Drawing insights…

actress is talking about "Operation Delirium," an extended 2012 piece in the American magazine The New Yorker, which is about a psychochemical experimentation program that happen in Maryland during the Cold War. It doesn't exactly sound like comedic fodder, but it seems that Jennifer Lawrence could be working on some madcap, druggy interpretation of the piece. Lawrence has been confident in expressing her interest in film direction in recent years. Jennifer Lawrence talked about the matter…

Sexual Assault in the Military is growing in an alarming rate, with women in the military it has occurred more. The studies show that all types of assault are happening in the military from sexual to just straight up assault. Donald Trump took it a step too far when he said “That the increase ,of sexual assault, was because of the integration of women in the military.” The remarks of Donald Trump and others show great ignorance in this matter. “That’s more than victim blaming ,and it…

Many of the largest environmental concerns facing our society today stem from the world’s obsession with red meat. Grazing cattle are a major cause of erosion, land degradation, and even, according to most scientists, climate change (Steinfield 2006). The production of livestock is, without question, the most anthropogenic (environmental pollution originating in human activity) enterprise that humans engage in. It accounts for the use of 70 percent of agricultural land and 30 percent of the…

The early civilizations in India, South America, Japan, and china practiced intensive agriculture and it is known that they utilized agricultural, animal and human residue as fertilizer (Howard, 1943, Food and Agriculture Organization, 1978). Many of these residues either were placed in pits or placed in heaps and allowed to rot for long period of time for the production of soil amendment. The first waste pits made out of stone and built outside the houses were found in Sumerian cities about…

Swiftly it began to strip and tear broccoli from the plant consuming Jeff in the process. It devoured every sprout on the plant and left the decimated plant to rebuild, literally from the ground up. The woodchuck lumbered away, on the search for other fodder. Jeff was fully digested and was happily ensconced in the neck muscles of the woodchuck. But unexpectedly the woodchuck began to flee in a headlong dash through knee high grass. A glance thrown over the woodchuck’s shoulder revealed it’s…

A species that has been moved by humans from its normal habitat to a new habitat, either intentionally or by mistake. A deliberate introduction is when you forcefully get a species in your area, it's not by accident and you know it will be part of your ecosystem. An accidental introduction, however, is when a species comes over unplanned. Maybe an animal gets under a boat in Europe and travels to America, no one said to get the species into the USA. Most people call this plant by Kudzu, but its…

in the contemporary church. I found his section on the emphasis on “following” to be most helpful. Given our tendency to look at the gospels only as historical narratives to prove the existence of Jesus, the discussion on following provides much fodder for discussions regarding the life of a disciple in the church. While the contemporary church in America may not be experiencing the type of marginalization experienced by the first century audience, there is much to be received as a challenge…
