Martha: Last of the Passenger Pigeons
by John Herald

September 1, 1914: Martha, the last of the Passenger Pigeions died in her enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo. She was named Martha in honor of Martha Washington. Not much consolation in that.
 
February 21, 1918: The last known Carolina Parakeet was a male named Incas, and he died on this day at the Cincinnati Zoo.  Twenty years later, after no wild specimens were found, the bird was officially declared extinct. Bright green with an orange and yellow head, it was one of the most colorful birds living in the eastern United States.  It had a range that stretched from the Gulf of Mexico to Ontario.
 
Early in 1932: The last heath hen spent a few lonely, solitary years on Martha's Vineyard. According to Deborah Dickson — whose film "Lost Birds" will screen tonight, June 2 (2011)— he could be observed perched on top of an oak tree futilely emitting the breed's famous mating call, which had earned him the name "Booming Ben." Ben was last sighted in 1932 and his demise signaled the extinction of a species that once flourished from Maine to Virginia

The Cat in the April Showers, by Ernest Hemingway
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rykt8aD5Tk4
The Cat in the Rain by Ernest Hemingway is a story of an American couple in Italy. Hemingway portrays this couple as having differences of priorities and also a difference in the amount of attention they give to one another. This story takes place over a short few hours, and even though we only know these characters for a brief period of time, we can predict the type of relationship they have.
