Putting Hogan’s background, cultural identity and her personal and political beliefs into the context of her writing, I will discuss Hogan’s contribution to the contemporary discourse about the issues of the environmental degradation, environmental justice and American Indian communities. I will use Hogan’s fiction and non-fiction works to indicate the author’s position and an active participation in this discourse. In her novels – Mean Spirit (1990), Solar Storms (1995) and Power (1998) – Hogan points out the impact of the environmental degradation and suggests the way toward healing. All of these novels have strong political undertones because, though fictional accounts, they are all based on real events and they all deal with the issues of environmental degradation, environmental justice and cultural disintegration of American Indian societies. Hogan’s non-fiction books, Dwellings: A Spiritual History of the Living World (1995) and her memoir, The Woman Who Watches over the World (2001), along with numerous interviews with the author, helped me to explore her background and identify Hogan’s personal philosophy concerning environmental issues in general as well those affecting American Indian
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818) and Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner (1992) express their growing concerns of the destructive consequences of alienation and the suffering that results of this. Influenced by the rapid growth of technology and environmental concerns of their composing times, they illustrate their concerns from different perspectives. Both texts explore the suffering of the environment when one isolates themselves or neglects the natural world. Shelley who was heavily influenced by the principles of Romanticism and was personally exposed to writers and poets who believed in the sublime and rejuvenating power of nature, focuses on the suffering that can occur when one isolates themself from the natural world. It is when Victor

“Our Gas Guzzlers, Their Lives” by: Nicholas Kristof In Nicholas Kristof’s article “Our Gas Guzzlers, Their Lives”, many valid points are given to justify and provide more information on how the amount of gasoline used and green house emissions are negatively affecting other parts of the world. In many ways this article shows how there is a need to curb green house gas emissions before the damages being made are worsen. Not only has Kristof’s article triggered emotional responses as he explains the harsh realities that the “westerners” are causing, he is also able to further expand on this topic by providing valid and appropriate data. Well many would argue that it is hard to slow down or eliminate our gas and green house gas usage; Kristof provides many valid points that give good and humane reasons to at least try to reduce out usage. “Our Gas Guzzlers, Their Lives” by Nicholas Kristof shows the readers how our actions and usage of gas and out green house gas emissions are not only damaged to the environment but to people around the world.

The author provided the readers with examples of incidents that occurred in Indiana and California

He uses vivid imagery to describe the setting, often using the environmental aspects of the story to set the tone, or metaphorically to describe inner battles or feelings. Perhaps to convey just how powerfully McLeod uses language, we need not go past the title of the story I have studied. However I will tell you a little about it so that you can understand
