Reading

• James Dickey, “A Dog Sleeping on My Feet” (115–117)
• Wintu Tribe, “The Willingness of a Deer to Die” (117–119)
• Joyce Carol Oates, “The Buck” (130–140)

Notes

Regarding invasive species from last class: It turns out that goldfish are part of the “carp” family. The current environmental threat in the US, however, is with the grass, silver, bighead, and black carp.

Regarding the wild fire: I was thinking of the Milford Flat fire that started in July 2007, due to a lightning strike in “cheat grass.”
