Prompt: In three brief paragraphs, Contextualize these two quotations in relation to the plot of the story. To succeed you will need to give specifics about how the relationship between these characters changes over the course of the book that are not found in these quotations. Analyze how they move forward our understanding of (1.) the two character's relationship to nature/trees and (2.) the two character's developing relationship to each other. Synthesize. Your answer should give a plausible account of how these two themes relate to each other. Passage 1 (from "Trunk") He bows his head and fixes on the page. The article stokes his distress. Should trees have standing? This time last month, it would have been his evening's great sport to test the ingenious argument. What can be owned and who can do the owning? What conveys a right, and why should humans, alone on all the planet, have them? But tonight the words swim. Eight thirty-seven. Everything that was his is going down, and he doesn't even know what brought on disaster. The terrible logic of the essay begins to wear him down. Children, women, slaves, aboriginals, the ill, insane, and disabled: all changed, unthinkably, over the centuries into persons by the law. So why shouldn't trees and eagles and rivers and living mountains be able to sue humans for theft and endless damages? The whole idea is a holy nightmare, a death dance of justice like the one he now lives through, watching the second hand of his watch refuse to move. His entire career until this moment - protecting the property of those with a right to grow - begins to seem like one long war crime, like something he'll be imprisoned for, come the revolution. The proposal is bound to sound odd or frightening or laughable. This is partly because until the rightless thing receives its rights, we cannot see it as anything but a thing for the use of 'us' - those who are holding rights at the time. Eight forty-two, and he's desperate. He'll do anything now, to deceive her, to make her think he has no idea. Her fit of craziness will run its course. The fever that has turned her into someone he can't recognize will burn away and leave her well again. Shame will bring her back to herself, and she'll remember everything. The years. The time they went to Italy. The time they jumped from a plane. The time she ran the car into a tree while reading his anniversary letter and almost killed herself. The amateur theatrics. The things they planned together, in the backyard they made. It is no answer to say that streams and forests cannot have standing because streams and forests cannot speak. Corporations cannot speak, either; nor can states, estates, infants, incompetents, municipalities, or universities. Lawyers speak for them. Passage 2 (from "Seeds") In silence, he walks his lifelong partner through old and central principles of jurisprudence, one syllable at a time. Stand your ground. The castle doctrine. Self-help. If you could save yourself, your wife, your child, or even a stranger by burning something down, the law allows you to. If someone breaks into your home and starts destroying it, you may stop them however you need to. His few syllables are mangled and worthless. She shakes her head. "I can't get you, [NAME]. Say it some other way." He can find no way to say what so badly needs saying. Our home has been broken into. Our lives are being endangered. The law allows for all necessary force against unlawful and imminent harm. His face turns the color of sunset, scaring her. Her arm goes out to calm him. "No worries, Ray. It's just words. Everything's fine" In mounting excitement, he sees how he must win the case. Life will cook; the seas will rise. The planet's lungs will be ripped out. And the law will let this happen, because harm was never imminent enough. Imminent, at the speed of people, is too late. The law must judge imminent at the speed of trees.

Prompt: In one paragraph Contextualize this quotation in relation to the rest of the story. To succeed, you will need to give specifics about relevant aspects of the plot of the book that are not mentioned in the quotation itself. . Analyze how this quotation moves forward our understanding of two key themes in the book: (1.) The idea that we can tell stories in which forests, rivers, ecosystems, etc. are agents who act much more slowly than we do. That is, it is possible see natural phenomena as active, thinking, even communicating beings. (2.) The idea that we can tell stories in which Artificial Intelligence (AI) can become agents who act much more quickly than we do. That is, it is possible for humans to create technologies that are active, learning, listening, and even living beings. Evaluate. Your answer should indicate what you think about these two themes. Passage (from "Seeds") Bots watch and match, encode and see, gather and shape all the world's data so quickly that the knowledge of humans stands still.[....] But he has glimpsed more than enough, and he would rather be here, launching the start of the rehabilitation, than live in the place that his learners will help repair. There's a story he always loved, from the days when his legs still worked. Aliens land on Earth. They operate on different scales of time. They zip around so fast that human seconds seem to them as tree years seem to humans. He can't remember how the story ends. It doesn't matter. Every branch's tip has its own bud. [....]Across the biomes, at all altitudes, the learners come alive at last. They discover why a hawthorn never rots. They learn to tell apart the hundred kinds of oak. When and why the green ash split off from the white. How many generations live inside of a hollow of a yew. When red maples start to turn at each elevation, and how much sooner they are turning every year. They will come to think like rivers and forests and mountains. They will grasp how a leaf of grass encodes the journeywork of the stars. In a few short seasons, simply by placing billions of pages of data side by side, the next new species will learn to translate between any human language and the language of green things. The translations will be rough at first, like a child's first guess. But soon the first sentences will start to come across, pouring out words made, like all living things, from rain and air and crumbled rock and light. Hello. Finally. Yes. Here. It's us.
