1. One of the differences in William Apess’s “Son of the Forest” is the perspective of the writer. Apess was Native American born, whereas other writers we have encountered were European usually of English or Spanish descent.

Apess was a member of the oppressed Group, even though their numbers (ratio of skins of color to white
Dear Editor, I am writing to you in regard to the Bridger -Teton National Forest. It is “the largest intact ecosystem in the lower 48 United States. Offering nearly 1.2 million acres of designated Wilderness, over 3,000 miles of road and trail and thousands of miles of unspoiled rivers and streams.” (USDA Forest Service) I am appealing to you as a conservationist.

some major plot points are completely different. The film Throne of Blood and the play Macbeth differ in the events of Asaji’s pregnancy and Lady Macbeth’s lack thereof, the roles of Macduff and Noriyasu, the prophecies of the three witches and the forest spirit, and the deaths of Macbeth and Washizu. The character of Lady Macbeth in Macbeth is compared to the character of Asaji in Throne of Blood. Lady Macbeth and Asaji are very similar characters.

In The Light in the Forest, Mary Jemison’s personal narrative, and from my personal experience, there are many situations when your family never leaves your side, stands up for you, and believes in you! In The Light in the Forest, True Son’s Indian family never leaves his side. When True Son comes back from the village, he still shows his love towards his family and runs away from his birth family to be with them.

witches told Banquo that his son will be king and that his son, sons will be king. And that Macbeth shall become king. As Macbeth thinks about what the witches had said to Banquo about his son Macbeth says to himself “[…] Upon my head they placed a fruitless crown and put a barren scepter in my grip, thence to be wrenched with an unlined hand, no son of mine succeeding.” Macbeth is mad that no son of his will be there to take his place when he dies because none of his sons worked out, instead Banquo’sson
about the scam surrounding school officials telling parents their children may have ADHD and need to be put on medication to control the symptoms. The author and webmaster of the site, Forest Cunningham Sr., created his website, www.ADHDScam.com, in 2009, after the failed attempt by his son’s school to diagnose Forest Jr. with ADHD. The boy went through the first six months of school without any mention of problems, and he was earning straight A’s. Then, one day, he was sent home with a note stating
the community. Though the reader sees Okonkwo as a tough, brave man in the society; deep down Okonkwo cares for children. An example of Okonkwo’s caring attributes would be when he regrets not doing anything while hearing the twins cry in the Evil Forest, his depressed state post-killing Ikemefuna and when the Oracle calls for Ezinma.

While examining the forest, Adam discovers a tar-like black substance that appears to be symbiotic at the molecular level. In the meantime, and against the behest of his neighbor, Colm Donnelly (Michael McEdlhatton), Adam ignores the folk tale of horrors about the dark forest that runs rampant through the town – at least until the creatures, seemingly fueled
