    The growing practice of Neo-Paganism in America has caused many to turn their heads. The misunderstanding of the religion has caused many to equate the practitioners with the popular conception of typical "witches," that perform black magic rituals, satanic sacrifices, and engage in devil-inspired orgies. After many years, the Neo-Pagan community has cleared up many misconceptions through the showing that many of them do not engage in activities, and are rather participating in a religion, just as those would that participate in a Christian community. It 's unacceptance continues, perhaps due to its non-conformity to the ideal of worshipping a Christian God. Through the use of ethnography, anthropologists and sociologists are able to present the public with a much different view than what we are bombarded with in popular media.…

Miss Brill takes the time to notice every individual around her and hopes that others notice…

    Sarah was alone. She had woke to the sound of a noisy bird calling nearby and from there had started wandering. It was getting dark and the forest was alive with sounds. Birds getting ready for bed, crickets starting up their chirping songs, and frogs in a small pond calling out all in a chorus. She sat down next to a large oak to gain her senses. She was disoriented and had no idea where she was at. Sarah glanced around as she held her aching head. She had to find somewhere to sleep for the night as she didn't know how to get back to wherever she had been. The girl didn't even know how she ended up here amongst all these trees.…
