The Animal in the Wild in Hwang Sun-mi’s The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly
Hwang Sun-mi's The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly has become a contemporary classic children's story in Korea since its original publication in 2000. Since then, the story has been translated and redesigned with new illustrations in almost thirty different countries (Y. Kim). The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly centers on a hen that raises a duckling as her \"baby,\" with the story drawing upon a rich reservoir of cultural associations between humans and nature in East Asian traditions. In this story, the hen leaves the human-dominated barnyard, based on profit, exploitation, and competition, for a reconnection with moral virtues in the natural world. By leaving the human-organized society, the hen Sprout realizes her name's potential for vitality and growth. This paper explores cultural connections between the animal and nature in Hwang's story within a Korean context, inviting comparisons between Western and Eastern environmental perspectives.

Some Sign Will Be Seen
When the Lakota holy man Black Elk died in 1950, a spectacular display of the aurora borealis lit up the night sky. Eyewitness accounts recount vivid northern lights and echo oral history from nineteenth-century Lakota who gave explanations of the meaning of auroral phenomena. The reports of the 1950 aurora suggest that a massive, sporadic solar flare and subsequent coronal mass ejection were responsible for the event. News media reports, contemporaneous scientific observations, and solar observatory data confirm this hypothesis.
