Many debates have sparked due to the topic of naturalism vs. realism. Naturalism takes the power away from the actual person, it says that people exist entirely in the order of nature, and do not have a soul, or any mode of participating in a religious or spiritual world beyond nature. () Realism however, gives those human like characteristics back to the person. Literary realism has a concern with morality and ethics. It means that humans have a moral agency, they can make choices, take directions, and take responsibility for their actions. () Hamlin Garland’s “Under the Lions Paw” does a good job with strengthening that debate of Naturalism vs. Realism even more. The story incorporates both naturalism and realism making it difficult to

This sounds like a fast easy to eat nut that from their past experience must not make a good soup. There is some text after this and I can make out the word “belly” but not much else. I wonder if it says something about why they never make soup out of the sweet acorns that come from a bush.

“Hey, I found some beef jerky!” Riley exclaimed as he held the bag up in the air triumphantly. “Do you think Chuckles likes beef

I exclaimed as I got out of the blind and walked for his car. “Well great”, he said sarcastically. I have my good clothes on and I am not putting a dead deer in my car” Let me say this: My brother is the biggest downer I know. “Can you at least help me track the thing so dad and I can ride back out with the truck and get the stupid thing?” Of course, he said no. Much to his protest, I grabbed his flash light out of the glove box of his car, and started looking for blood. I didn’t find a drop. I got into the car and we went out to the camp, so I could get signal to call my dad. My Dad and I agreed to go out after supper and

“Well, I have three big and stout red squirrels that I caught this morning that you can have.” Lanea suggested in total fear.

”Why is the box of rat possin opened” my mom said.”I was playing with the lizards in their I replied .Did you wash your hands before you ate? she questioned “Oops”. My moms face turned as blue as a blueberry.”Are you kidding me.

The dwarf looked shocked. “Well, lad I heard your mummy is not the nicest lady. I heard she gives you licks with a wooden spoon. I know you want to stay here more.”

“Nut’n.” He looked straight into her eyes, defiantly. When she didn’t respond, he continued more forcefully. “We didn’t find nut’n. Ain’t nut’n there.” Still, she didn’t respond. He was looking directly into her eyes, and she wasn’t about to break contact first.

Immediately we ran to the tree, firing our guns as if we both were in an infantry fighting a battle. One, two, three squirrels were dropped out of the tree by our deadeye-aimed shots. As we gazed over the dead corpses, we contemplated the need to shoot these animals for no obvious reason. Was it our insatiable compulsion to shoot the guns or a morbid goal to shoot the squirrels on the run? Apparently it was an odd mixture of both cases. As guilty as we might have felt for shooting them, we searched for more life to murder.

The short-fiction story “The Squirrel” is about a woman who lives by herself on an island. Out of the ordinary, she is shocked to see a living creature: "it was a real live squirrel and she hadn't seen a living thing for a long time. You can't count gulls; they're always leaving; they're like wind over waves and grass." The squirrel starts to bother her and so she hides when a boat comes near the island and three fishermen jump ashore with their rods. Another day passes by; the woman is need of a companion and someone to interact with. She ends up yelling into her radio, but no one responds. The squirrel breaks into her house and sits at her table, but she drives it out. In the end, the squirrel steals her boat and sails away into shore. All

The North American Eastern Grey Squirrel has become a major issue for the hardwood timber growers in Europe due to their habit of barkstripping (Fitzgibbon). Currently it is a formidable task to determine the amount of grey squirrels in a specific area, thus Fitzgibbon has created a method involving the amount of dreys present in a wooded area. The conclusion of the experiment led researchers to believe there is a strong correlation between the nut production and maturity of trees and the density of squirrels (Fitzgibbon). Thus, it is reasonable to believe grey squirrels are most often found in dense woods consisting of a high population of beech, oak, and hazelnut trees (Fitzgibbon). Although minimal research has been conducted involving oak

Nora:    Your squirrel would run about and do all her tricks if you would be nice, and do what she wants.
