    Jean Birrell’s “Who Poached the King’s Deer? A Study in Thirteenth Century Crime” narrates the illegal hunting of forests which were supposed to be under the protection of English monarchs from a period of approximately mid thirteenth century to fifteenth century England. The study covers forest laws enacted by monarchs after the Norman invasion, the difference between ‘respectable’ poachers and peasants looking to feed themselves, the way in which such poachers were punished, and the impact of events relating to poaching and forest laws during the period of study. However, Birrell’s seems to believe that Norman…

    A lot of valuable information is given to the reader throughout the book Ultimate Deer Food Plots by Ed Spinazzola. Personally, I’ve been able to take everything presented in the text relatively easily with the help of my prior knowledge. All of the advice in this book is relative to my life every year. If I had to choose however, the points that have stuck with me the most are: the importance of correcting soil as well as past vs. present land management layouts. Both of these topics are so important when trying to create great hunting land. Starting with soil correction, I have always known how critical it is to have good soil (based off of my own food plot results). My dad and I’s first food plots didn’t turn out great, as expected. Barely…

    When reading the essay "The Deer of Providencia" I found myself wondering who I felt more sympathy for. The deer or the burned victim? The objective and subjective detailed writing used by the author helped me really put myself in that moment. First, with the setting over the river bank near the village watching the deer suffer and struggle to escape from the rope that had captured it. I was able to feel pain as though I was there myself witnessing it. The whole beginning of Annie Dillard's essay had me cringing just picturing the animal suffering. Although, I didn't…

    In the readings for this week Sara Ahmed discusses how to build a “killjoy survival kit” as well as the significance of a “killjoy manifesto”. The purpose of a killjoy manifesto is to point out what is already present in society. The reason why the burden falls on the feminist is because of the power struggle between the people who built the institutions and are consequently impervious to them and those who want to expose these institution, the feminist killjoy. Throughout this book the author uses the term “killjoy” to describe the sentiment a person feels when they expose barriers, violence and inequality to the people around them. Yet, what struck me the most in this reading was the topic of happiness. A survival kit is necessary because…

The point-of-view, plot, and figurative language developed by O’Brien were critical in maintaining the mystery as consistently and effectively as was evident in, In the Lake of the Woods. The main character, John Wade, believed he was a magician from early childhood and throughout his development into adulthood. He was the ultimate magician both personally and in his perception of his vocations of soldier and politician.…

    In his works, the natural world is a constant representation of the willfulness, and strength of life, and the power and inevitability of death. In the natural world concepts such as life and death are able to take upon themselves, physical representations. The songs of birds singing in the morning could be a representation of life, while the ominous presence of a Great White Shark would be a representation of death. James Dickey uses animals as his representations of life and death.…

    The author's Diction heightens the rancher's commitment to protect the people and the doubt he feels about the decision. Although the man's first “instinct” was not to kill the snake, he realized that it was his “duty” to kill it because of the “ominous” danger it posed to the ranch. The man's natural “instinct” and his moral “duty” to protect the ranch do not align, creating the conflict that the reader identifies with. The man recognizes the “ominous” danger posed by the snake, leaving him with an obligation to remove the danger. At first, the rancher's thought was to “let [the snake] go” for the rancher “never killed” an animal and not “obliged” to kill, but he “reflected” that it posed as a threat to the ranch, thus having to remove it. The rancher wanted to “let [the snake] go” for he has “never killed an animal” because he does not “feel the satisfaction” of killing as a sport. The rancher was very hesitant to kill, but he “reflected” that he needed to protect. The man's obligation and regret about killing the snake creates a conflict that generates the readers emotions through Diction; the Imagery further illustrates this conflict.…

    It was sunday, the end of deer season. After an unsuccessful morning hunt we were left with one more opportunity. We would have to start hiking a couple hours before dusk until dark. We hopped in the truck and drove slowly, our eyes scanning the brush for signs of movement until we reached a rusty yellow gate where only foot traffic was permitted. We continued on foot. Eventually the sun began fading behind the mountain and visibility became lower. My dad told me to wait a fork in the road and he’d be right back. Time came to a standstill, it felt like hours had passed when it was only minutes. I was tempted to yell his name but voices are one of the main things that scare off deer. I was on the verge of panic, anxiety and worry building up…
