I really love your description of the flowers and how the light interacted with them. I think the overall theme of your post is very interesting and I like the different examples you gave of feeling like you were […]

El fin de semana, yo voy a Búfalo para la boda de mi prima. La boda es sábado. Yo estoy muy emocionada porque yo no he visto mis primos en muchos meses. Cuando estoy en la boda, estoy segura que yo baile mucho c […]

The two research topics that I am interested in learning more about include women’s fashion in Latin America and the literary movement, known as the Latin American Boom that took place during the 1960s and […]

I enjoyed how the message and imagery provided in your passage did not seem forced upon the reader. The way you wrote about your experience was very down to earth. Not choosing a word or phrase to describe the way […]

I am considering doing my research project on:

Predominantly Latin communities/neighborhoods in Chicago (Pilsen, Humboldt, etc. ) and how/why they came to be. (Looking at the history and immigration to these […]

For my Wikipedia research project I would be interested in researching vigilante or autodefensas groups in Colombia. People these groups form in response to the formation of cartels and the lack of government […]

One research topic I am interested in is coffee. I’m thinking of having my theme as how has coffee impacted the world economically and socially. Credo mentioned that in 2002 coffee retail sales were $55 billion d […]

Macumba- animistic religious practice used in Brazil. I hope to discover what they worshiped and their beliefs. Wikipedia has little information on this topic.

Modernismo- literary movement in Spanish America. […]

Mi casa ideal es muy similar a la casa de mi familia. Mi casa ahora está en el norte de Ohio. Mi casa tiene un jardín trasero muy grande con un bosque. Siempre hay algunos venados en el jardín. Mi casa es gr […]

I love your discussion on the permissions afforded to man by nature–that we may name them, but that this act and all others should be taken with respect. I also enjoy your description of the flighty chipmunks […]
Alexandra Kangas commented on the post, Why I Did Not Enjoy My Trip to Johnson Woods, on the site The Nature of Nature 2017 8 years, 11 months ago

I find your insight about the farmed fields making you feel insignificant really intriguing, and I agree that there are parts of nature (and cultivated nature) that make us question our worth or individuality. […]

I liked how you used so much language, especially in the first paragraph, that is centered in human activities

Maybe it’s an evolutionary callback to a long-unneeded instinct, but the cover of trees always feels like a form of sanctuary. Though the reek of manure pervades the entrance to the forest, the worn wooden path q […]

The imagery in this piece is lovely! I really enjoy how you captured the swan’s grace with your words. It leaves me wanting more. How long have you been watching this swan and did you eventually get to sketch her? […]

I finally find a spot I deem to be worth spending more than a second at. I sit down on my heels and just watch the forest. I’m far enough away that I can barely hear my classmates and can no longer smell the […]

Never before had I stood among so many beeches at once, at least not that I can recall. Many of them bore weathered scars inflicted by arrogant lovers, but still stood sturdy, smooth, and tall. They cast a mottled […]

We drove past the farmlands in Wooster in Ohio. I could not help, but think of my insignificance in the vast, rural landscape. I could easily lose myself in the lush maize fields and among the dairy cows and […]

To my surprise, there was a substantial difference between the idea I had of what Johnson’s woods would be and what I discovered it to be. On the other hand, the seeming infinite spread of corn fields on the bus r […]
