Growing up in the Deer Run area I detested wilderness. I went to an elementals school by the name of Pete Gallego; it is located on the outskirts of Eagle Pass and we didn’t have to go far to see vast wilderness. To the students of Pete Gallego Elementary‚ wilderness was a barren wasteland that only homed rattlesnakes and hares. We saw it every day at recess; there were mesquite trees‚ more mesquite tree and believe it or not a few hundred more mesquite trees. They weren’t even the green ones; they

For many years‚ John Updike has been a well-known author. He is known for his series of novels about Rabbit. Updike published one book of this series every decade from 1960 to 1990. My favorites of the series are Rabbit Run and Rabbit redux. A close examination of Rabbit Run and Rabbit Redux will show how Updike uses very similar concepts in each novel. First‚ Updike uses detailed characterization about the main people in the story. He starts off the story by identifying who Rabbit is. He

THE VODOU PRIESTESS: MAMA LOLA I found Karen McCarthy Brown’s Mama Lola to be an innovative and intimate “ethnographic spiritual biography” exploring the lived realities‚ material and immaterial‚ of a Haitian Voudou priestess and her family in New York City from the late 1970’s through the 1980’s. (xiv) Brown’s approach is innovative because she treats her subjects’ as multivocal and fluid. Brown heeds her own advice and contrary to most ethnographic scholars before her‚ appropriately represents her own

Reaction to “Babel Runs Backward” I found this article to be incredibly enlightening. I was moved by the idea that there are thousands of languages spoken today that may not be spoken tomorrow. The authors do a fantastic job in creating a sense of responsibility and urgency in the reader. By using modern‚ non-third world languages as examples of languages endangered of becoming extinct‚ such as Welsh‚ and Hawaiian‚ not only is the reader able to easily understand the scope of the problem‚ but

NATURAL LAW AND THE EFFECTS OF CHOICE Everything in this world has an order in which it should be. Everything also has significance in one way or another. These values‚ if you will‚ are in which our decisions come from. If it has a high value then it is worth taking notice of and worth doing something about. For so many years we (us humans) have placed a higher value on our selves than the value that comes from nature (wilderness) and we underestimate its worth. “Nature is a value producer

Raymond’s Run‚ a short story by Toni Cade Bambara‚ was an anticlimactic story that I strongly disliked. It was introduced to me in ways that were completely irrelevant to the plot of the story‚ its title was very misleading‚ and the plot was childish and disappointing. Firstly‚ I was introduced to Raymond’s Run with three words: runner‚ disability‚ and responsibility. After reading the story‚ I saw that these three words made me believe that the story would be about a boy‚ Raymond‚ who had a disability
