"Oh Deer! To Hunt or Not to Hunt"
Abstract:
The conflict caused by deer and humans is becoming more common because human population is growing and new housing developments and businesses are being built destroying the deer�s habitat. There are two reasonable options for dealing with whitetail deer. Either hunt them or live with them. In order to live with them humans have to give them some place to live. We can�t put a highway through their home and expect them to stay off of it. We have killed most of the whitetail deer�s predators, which would have been the natural population control for the deer. Hunting is a good method of deer population control and is much more humane that factory farming, which is how most people get their meat. This hunting should be regulated. If hunting were abolished, the deer population would soon exceed the Biological Carrying Capacity and would go even further in exceeding the Cultural Carrying Capacity. The deer population had seen little change in the past ten years. The same cannot be said for the human population, which has drastically increased, especially in rural and suburban areas where deer are most common. It is time for the current hunting laws and restrictions to be reassessed to account for the human population increase, which will give both humans and deer better living conditions.

�Faulkner�s Manipulation of Benjy�s Section in The Sound and the Fury�
Abstract:
Stories are incidents related as narratives in conversation or in written discourse to amuse, entertain, or inform the hearer or reader. In this paper I compare Elissa Adams, who gives an example of a conversational story, and Benjamin (Benjy) Compson, a character in William Faulkner�s novel, The Sound and the Fury. Rather than Benjy�s section of The Sound and the Fury being the real life stream-of-conscious thoughts of a mentally handicapped person, Benjy�s section is Faulkner�s interpretation of what a mentally handicapped person�s stream-of-conscious thoughts would be, then manipulated in order to make the points Faulkner wants Benjy�s section to make. This forethought and planning was not possible for Adams, who was telling her story to an interviewer verbally and did not have a script or the opportunity to write and revise.

"Healing in Bailey�s Caf�"
Abstract:
Bailey�s Caf�, by Gloria Naylor, tells of a street that exists nowhere and everywhere in the world. People who find this street come with broken dreams, broken hearts and broken spirits. They are at a point in their lives where death seems a more hopeful choice than life. There are three establishments on this street; Bailey�s Caf�, Eve�s Boarding House and Garden, and Gabe�s Pawnshop. These three establishments have developed a system to help their patrons heal. Gabe�s Pawnshop will lead you to Bailey�s Caf� and Bailey�s Caf� can lead you to Eve�s Garden, but no one will offer information on where to go. You have to be smart enough to understand the sign on Gabe�s door and you have to have the knowledge and courage to ask where to find Eve. The philosophy of the street is tough love. People come to the caf� because they have nowhere else to go. Whenever a patron leaves the caf� or the street they are exactly where they left their lives, hopefully more at peace than when they came.

"Maiden, Mother, Crone"
Abstract:
The conclusion of Moods is not a condemnation of Sylvia Yule, but rather an exaltation of Sylvia Moor. In her short twenty-one years of existence, Sylvia fulfilled the stages of life which only the most blessed of women are able to achieve. She was Sylvia Yule in the birth of her maidenhood and before she left this stage of life, she became Mrs. Moor. She lived life carelessly and impulsively as maidens do. She rejected and accepted love, struggled with the meaning of her life, experienced suffering and joy and tempered it all with the best of intentions and good will. Had Sylvia not been the maiden she was, she would never have come to the understanding of the Crone. For this reason, her early death does not condemn her maidenhood, but gives appreciation to this careless life and its maturation into her motherhood. The life of one possessing great wisdom could never be condemned.
