Slavenka Drakulic, a highly respected journalist and commentator on culture in Croatia, published the book How We Survived Communism and Even Laughed in 1991, which was a collection of essays that comprised of the stories of many women’s lives throughout Eastern Europe that lived in a communist society. Drakulic wanted to capture women’s stories and share them with others, because these were women who suffered from carried the biggest burden of life, living at the bottom tier of their society. As Drakulic states in the book’s introduction, Trivial is Political: “It was the relationships between political authority and the trivia of daily living, this view from below interested me most. And who should I find down there, most removed from the seats of political power, but women. Even if they fully participated in revolutionary events, they were less active and less visible in the aftermath of those events” (xv). I feel Slavenka Drakulic also wanted to express to others through these women’s stories just how impenetrable and distressing attempting to adapt to living in a non-communism society is when you have known nothing but communism. This struggle could be applicable to any society changing from one political ideology to another, and Slavenka Drakulic’s ability to communicate these women’s stories can inflict a large sense of empathy for these women who fought so hard every day against the political ideas ingrained in their minds, so that they may have a chance at

According to the National Restaurant Association survey from 2014 ‘nose to tail’ eating is among top 25 table service trends. “The modern nose-to-tail trend emerged about a decade ago with Chef Fergus Henderson’s book “The Whole Beast: Nose-to-Tail Eating.” The book was released in 2004 and it got a lot of attention. The author explained how to use various animal parts in cooking, especially those that were rarely used and went to waste. According to Chef Rob Levitt, “it’s actually an age-old approach, where farmers would raise a pig, butcher it… and preserve it to last the whole winter, making use of every part.” There is certainly a connection between the ‘nose-to-tail cooking’ and sustainable practices. By using the whole animal we can eliminate waste, which contributes to sustainability. As Levitt says, “[a] farmer can’t raise a pork chop. A farmer can’t raise a leg of lamb. You have to raise a whole pig, a whole lamb.” Before the mass production, people used old techniques to produce food, where most people farmed and raised their own animals. They showed more appreciation for their food and didn’t waste as much. Historically, using the whole animal in cooking was not a food trend it was simply economical and there is nothing wrong with being thrifty.

In the novella “Down the Rabbit Hole” by Pablo Juan Villalobos, the story revolves around the concept of innocence. What makes this novella different from other literature that discuss innocence is that the main character Tochtli does not actual move from innocence to experience but rather stays innocent but as the audience reads on they figure out that tochtli has moved further and further away from pure innocence. In the beginning of the novella in the short notes ahead innocence is explained in the context of the novella as being incomprehension. This is a theme that is revealed throughout the entirety of the novella. The novella Down the rabbit hole sets the scene inside a palace of a later understood drug lord, who is the father of tochtli, the main character. Tochtli is only seven and therefor does not have an exact grip on what is happening around him. Juan pablo Villalobos however reveals information in such a way that the truth escapes the innocent mind of tochtli but screams out to the readers.

Pinker challenges the misconception about the amount of violence in the current period compared to previous periods in human history. Pinker goes on to utilize a background of historical evidence such as historical wars and the severity of punishments for crimes committed. In the past, minor crimes such as theft could result in a death punishment. Pinker demonstrates how punishments have become less violent for the crimes committed. Additionally, there appears to be more signs of human empathy towards others, aside from inner circle members such as family and friends. Pinker demonstrates how the reduction of violence levels could have attributed to media reporting, international trade, global communications and large central governments. Furthermore, Pinker’s theorizes plausible explanations attributed to Thomas Hobbes’s “Leviathan”, a wide spread sentiment that ‘life is cheap’, Robert Wright’s “Nonzero-sum Games”, and the “Expanding Circle” by Peter Singer.

The novel opens with Carruthers, a British Foreign Office employee, recalling the many invitations extended to him during his stay in London. Unfortunately, in his arrogance, the man turned down the majority of invitations, only to find himself with nowhere to go. This pushes Carruthers to consider the unappealing invitation of his old acquaintance Davies. Davies has invited Carruthers on a yachting journey filled with sailing and duck hunting, across the North Sea and into the Baltic, towards the Frisian Islands, right off the coast of Germany. Carruthers arrives to find a rather small vessel with no crew present. He quickly realizes that this is no relaxing vacation after all. While Davies shows him the ropes, Carruthers tries his best to help sail the Ducibella. As they travel across the sea, they encounter beautiful scenery and even other sailors. Eventually, Davies tells Carruthers about his previous journey through the Frisian Islands. He reveals that a German barge-yacht, owned by a man named Dollmann, had baited the Ducibella onto a shoal in a troublesome sea that surely would have caused the small yacht to perish, if not for a small channel and the Bartels. Davies finishes his story in a mode of inquiry; he cannot figure out the motivation behind Dollmann’s behavior. He comes to the conclusion that Dollmann must be an Englishman and a spy, due to his actions, looks, and Davies’ analyses of the channels. Davies proceeds to lay out Dollmann’s possible route and tells
