Lovienthal And Steaks: A Short Story

The nature of discovery is highly impactful when one is confronted with multiple worlds; enabling a physical and spiritual connection to places, ideals and society, transforming one’s perception over-time. Australian poet Robert Gray‘s ‘The Meatworks’, confronts an individual’s beliefs to influence their standpoint on a desensitized society. ‘Journey, North Coast’ introduces the idea that re-awakened realities emancipate one’s connection of the natural world. and Director Daniel Sousa’s ‘Feral’ explores into how being taken into an unfamiliar reality leads to discovering one’s natural world. It is within these poems that uncover the highly impactful nature of discovery.

Saving the planet is a topic that is taken seriously by a huge part of this planet’s population. James McWilliams argument, “The Locavore Myth: Why Buying from Nearby Farmer Won’t Save the Planet,” explains why people need to buy food from people other than the local farmers. He believes that the focus of the locavore movement on transportation is wrong because the real problem lies within the energy-hogging factors in food production. McWilliams also went on to explain that another mistake that the locavore movement made was how food miles were calculated. He believes that a truck with 2,000 apples driving 2,000 miles would consume the same amount of fuel as a truck that carried 50 apples to a local shop only 50 miles away. James McWilliams states that “The critical measure here is not food miles but apples per gallon.” He also argues that taking meat out of a person’s diet would cut down on the carbon footprint of his or her dinner because it takes less energy to bring plants, rather than meat, to the table.

The growing locavore movement suggests that local food is key for healthy eating and community growth. One would imagine that the closer the source of one’s food is from, the healthier and more sustainable it is, right? However, this is not the case. In the set of locavore articles, the authors provide information to show that the locavore movement brings about issues involving inefficiency, energy use, and impracticality.

But at the end, miraculously, they succeeded in coming together to reestablish the harmony that they may have lost forever—and Patrick can be entirely credited for this. The past event of Marianne’s rape transformed him into an emotional, somewhat sensitive adult, enlightening him to the importance of family. At the reunion, Patrick “let his hand fall on my (Judd’s) shoulder. Brotherly, affectionate” (Oates Loc 8674), illustrating the strengthened bond between the two brothers which would have been unimaginable a decade ago. Without Patrick joining in on the new, intimate amelioration, it would have been impossible for the Mulvaneys to truly reach wholeness.

On the day of an important meeting Mary decided to entertain the client with stories of her weekend while Jennings was running late. When Jennings arrived in his office he found a less than impressed client and his assistant chatting him up. After Jennings had told her to leave the office so they could commence their meeting, which was

"He and LaLa were screaming at each other in the terminal. It looked like a classic drunken fight between friends...I'm pretty sure it was LaLa telling James to get it together before getting on the plan."

When he returns, Mary notices that he is uncharacteristically “distant.” After having more to drink thhan usual, Patrick reveals to Mary what is making him act so strange. He eventualy says that he’ll be leaving her and the child for another woman. Mary then goes and gets a lamb leg from the deep-freezer in the cellar to cook for their dinner. Then Mary quickly hits him in the head which results in his death.

For our first piece of evidence is Patrick leaving Mary for another women. When Patrick got home that day it was no surprise that Mary was waiting for him. She automatically knew he was acting strange. He then said “I’ve got something

William watched Reverend Flowers and Mary storm out of his office. His hands shook with anger as he poured himself another glass of vodka. He sat back on the couch and stared up at the ceiling. He knew it would be a long, sleepless night on the couch. After the exchange with Mary, he doubted he would ever spend another night in the same bed with Mary.

Mary waits on him to get home. She is pregnant with their first child. He has something on his chest, and he hasn’t told his wife yet. When he told her, it was very shocking news. She went back into the kitchen to cook dinner even though he didn’t want anything.

Helmut Walser Smith’s A Butcher’s Tale and Alain Corbin’s Village of Cannibals, present case studies of historical accounts which demonstrate the power of masses and of crowd violence in the small Prussian town of Konitz and the isolated French village of Hautefaye. Small towns are generally attributed to communal characteristics where citizens help and protect one another; however, the events that unraveled in these two cases generated a shock factor to the neighboring towns as it exemplified the power of rumor and the overall naivety of the inhabitants of the two towns. These case studies are also reflections of how the most civilized of societies are able to resort to barbaric actions through mere hearsay and allow their prejudices to shape their perception. This paper will examine the dynamics of the crowd, the explanation for the unfolding events and the ways in which both authors reach their conclusions of the unraveling of these events.

Literary critics have different opinions on the poem. One literary critic by the name of Greg Crossan takes a completely different view on the poem. While many believe the poem is of religious background with pure innocent intentions, Crossan believes the poem has a sexual meaning behind it. Crossan suggests that words like “Quick-eyd”, and “Sweetly questioning” are hints of a different type of intimate relationship. Crossan discusses how every action between the host and the guest is luring and seductive.
