She has no idea what I want or why I expect her to do it but she eagerly sniffs around, perusing for anything that will satisfy me. I feel saliva pooling up beneath my tongue as I think about the delectable fried frog legs that will reward me after I bring home the…

The fore-brain controls the frogs sense of smell (the Olfactory lobe), along with the cerebral hemispheres, and diencephalon. The mid-brain…

of them. In Robert Coover’s story, “The Frog Prince” and in Richard Ford’s story, “How Was It To Be Dead?” they present the theme that you do not always need more than one person to show you compassion because the symbol of breaking a trust of one another and also the conflict of complicating something more than it needs to be.
