St. Lucy’s Home for girls Raised by Wolves, Karen Russell’s collection of fantastical short stories take all that is mundane and fractures it into a fantastical world with humor, dramatic tone, or cultural/religious undertones. Russell whirls a reader into her stories with her capability to encase a reader in the story with her repetition of one’s senses.

In St. Lucy’s Home for girls Raised by Wolves, our narrator, Claudette, speaks from the mind of a half human half wolf in transition. Of the pack’s reaction to the nuns, how Sister

Life is full of ups and downs, small or large, no matter who is living it. “Floating” by Karen Brennan is a story about a woman who thinks she can just float away from her realistic problems. The whole story is told through the perspective of a troubled woman and the author did this to show that if guilt and pain eat at a person this is what can happen and in this case it is a miscarriage of a child belonging to the “woman”. The author uses symbolism to emphasize her claims on guilt. The whole story is portrayed in first person with no names mentioned in the story because it makes it more relatable to general and heartbroken people in society. The author displays a woman who had a miscarriage and is torn deeply about her own loss and became completely depressed; she is also becomes delusional and believes her baby is still alive and is her little secret, and lastly on some deep inner level she knows that her baby is dead and feels a tremendous amount of guilt for losing her own child. The author shows that the miscarriage can be a metaphor for any situation in life: if something is lost, one cannot just give up, and become completely obsessed over memories of the past, memories were made to shape who one is not dictate the present actions.

I think people would not attack her books if she published them today. People attacked her books because they thought they were weird and inappropriate but now many books and movies are odd and contain sexual content and other content that is deemed as inappropriate. Since books like the giver are read by children, adults may have said they do not want their elementary or middle school age children to read the “inappropriate” content in Judy Bloom’s books, but in today’s modern time period, children can read her books without any

Thanks impart to Karen Clark who introduced a new way of dealing with catastrophic event, people were able to make close logical estimation of the magnitude of losses faced by insurers. Most notably, Clark was able to predict loses by “gathering very long-term historical data on hurricanes [and] combining those record with new data on property exposures [such as property] zip code, engineering reports, local building codes (p.6)” to model loses and profitability of catastrophic event. By doing so, she was able to lay a fundamental foundation of catastrophic risk modeling that various financial and insurance institutions heavily rely up on to some degree to this day.
