A salmon for Simon
Simon has always longed to catch a salmon. But when his luck suddenly changes and an eagle accidentally drops one into a tidal pool, Simon is torn between sympathy for the fish and the desire to catch something of his own. All summer long, Simon, a young First Nations boy, has been desperate to catch a salmon. He goes fishing every day, but has no luck. Then one day a high-flying eagle drops a salmon into a clam hole right before his eyes, and Simon must decide whether to take it home or let it go.

Language and Betrayal: Posthuman Ethics in Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go
Netty Mattar discusses in her article \"Language and Betrayal: Posthuman Ethics in Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go\" the complexities of ethical compassion in this biotechnological age. Mattar highlights how genetic technology creates new forms of life that dissolve the line between 'human' and 'technology.' In spite of this, contemporary ethical discussions do not take into account changing conceptions of human subjectivity and instead reinstate older assumptions about what 'human' is. Mattar argues that speculative fiction (SF), as a self-conscious play on signs and signification, can draw attention to how ethical responses are determined by the language we use. Mattar reads Kazuo Ishiguro's SF novel Never Let Me Go as a critique of liberal humanist ethical discourse, which eliminates difference as it promises inclusion. She argues that Ishiguro's uncanny narrative presents a posthuman ethics that forces the reader to confront their own dependence on exclusionary understandings of 'human'.

Compassion
In Compassion , ten scholars draw on literature, psychoanalysis, and social history to provide an archive of cases and genealogies of compassion. Together these essays demonstrate how \"being compassionate\" is shaped by historical specificity and social training, and how the idea of compassion takes place in scenes that are anxious, volatile, surprising, and even contradictory.

Cinderella
Ella is a special girl--one who cares for every person and animal she comes across; one who values kindness and courage above all else. But her true specialness comes from staying compassionate and brave, even when faced with trials and tragedy. It comes from not giving in to darkness when it seems all hope is lost.

On Compassion and the Sublime Black Body: Octavia E. Butler's Parable of the Sower
Compassion fuses and impulses love to expand their realm; they blend and instruct deep joy to examine for new sustenance. [...]it enables all moments of sublimation to accumulate into truly infinite states (appamañña). [...]equanimity has entered embodiment, compassion urges its sentient host to come into the planet's trial again, to stand the test, by solidifying and enhancing itself as a power-a superpower. The two-fold aim of this project is to: (a) demonstrate one way that sublime states like compassion operate in the literature as \"hyperempathy\" and (b) how philosophical theories about Black bodies devised by Edmund Burk, Frantz Fanon, and Immanuel Kant combine to explain how societal events affect individuals' attitudes at different times.1 Thirdly, this assessment will show how effectively the author's data-collection methods and narrative in the novel provide the information needed for interpreting the Buddhist influence on sublime states throughout the narrative. In a few ways, the title acts as a guide to better understand the origin of delusion and suffering and its connection back to the body. Because Lauren's hyperempathy is a delusional response to pain, it is, therefore, a sublime notion, tangible only through experience but not demonstrable or easily reconstructed.

LAS VISIONES DE JULIANA DE NORWICH ENTRE EL ESTILO GÓTICO Y LA ABSTRACCIÓN
Este artículo plantea la relación entre las imágenes que resultan de la experiencia visionaria y el arte de la época. Se trata de comprobar cómo las imágenes visionarias se ajustan en muchos casos a las formas expresivas acuñadas por la tradición iconográfica, lo cual deriva en parte de la función de las imágenes en las prácticas meditativas y devocionales. Las visiones de la reclusa Juliana de Norwich (1342/3-ca 1416), se ajustan al estilo gótico, tanto por temática (la Pasión de Cristo) como por el modo de tratamiento, destinado a provocar en el espectador/lector emociones y un intenso sentimiento compasivo. Pero además este estudio tratará de mostrar cómo en la experiencia visionaria pueden emerger imágenes nuevas e insólitas que solo llegarán a construir un estilo o una tendencia artística siglos más tarde.
This article presents the relationship between the images that emerge from the visionary experience and the art of the time. The aim is to verify how visionary images fit in many cases the expressive forms coined by the iconographic tradition, which derives in part from the function of images in meditative and devotional practices. The visions of the recluse Julian of Norwich (c. 1342-43-1416), conform to the Gothic style, both by theme (the Passion of Christ) and by the mode of treatment, designed to provoke in the viewer / reader emotions and an intense compassionate feeling. Furthermore, this study will try to show how in the visionary experience new and unusual images can emerge that will only come to build a style or an artistic tendency centuries later.
