    Krak!‚ Rocio Davis discusses the impact of Danticat’s short story form on the immigrant experience and how it defines Haitian cultural pluralism.

    Davis’s “Thinking Like a Chicken.” One of the many interesting sub-topics of animal ethics addressed in this paper is the topic of domestication. If we created and formed domesticated animals through selective breeding do they deserve rights? Karen Davis and I would argue that they do (Davise‚ 1995).

    In this very short story‚ Alice Walker tells of a young‚ African American girl who‚ while gathering flowers‚ stumbles quite literally upon the body of a dead man. The atmosphere‚ language and subject matter of the story suggest the southern United States as a setting-sometime in the mid- to late-20th century seems an appropriate time period‚ though this is far less clear. The contrast between the story’s beginning and end is striking. We begin with a light-hearted description of the life of Myop
