...to see how I got into this situation just for being a mouse. I remember coming here for the first time , the cats where separating the mice to see who was strong enough to work, who wasn’t ,separating little mice from their families. Fortunately I was strong enough to work, not that it did any good. We were all controlled by cats who never had sympathy for any mice and enjoyed beating and torturing us.When I came I saw what I thought was a big bakery ,but it was just a building where other mice were being cremated. It was like we were bread being burned in a oven. Me and other mice are slaves ,carrying big stones on our backs .If we were to drop them we would be beaten be the mighty and powerful cats who had claws that were as sharp as knifes. The claws would cut through the thin uniforms we would have to wear everyday. Some mice did try to rebel against the cats, but the cats towered over them by how big and the quantity of them. Those mice were immediately killed. Anyways, today was the same as any other day. I woke up really early, not that I have had much sleep due to sleeping in the tiniest of place with about 6 other mice. Next we were to due anything the cats said to avoid being killed. Today there wasn’t much to do, just carry heavy stones back and forth and dig big holes. We didn’t even get much to eat, you were considered lucky if you even got food. During the day, a fellow mouse told me about how the cats killed us ,the mice. He said they were to strip naked...

...For as long as man has known about cats and mice, the two creatures have never got along. Cats have always been chasing and killing mice. The “Legend of Cat and Mouse and the “Story of Cats and Mice becoming enemies tell you about how they became enemies and that one time cats and mice were friends until the mouse makes cat mad. I believe that both the legend and story are more alike because they tell a similar tale, the cat is angry with the mouse and they cross a river. These both happen in both the legend and story. The legend “The Cat and Rat Legend” by Ed Young is about a race of all the animals in a kingdom. The cat and rat were once best friends until the race came. The cat and mouse got a ride over the river because they knew that...

One legend is “Cat and Rat: Legend of the Chinese Zodiac” and in this story all the animals in the land are racing to have a year in the Chinese Zodiac named after them. The other story, “How Cats and Mice Became Enemies” tells about how Cat and Mouse are crossing the river and mouse accidentally sinks the boat. I’m going to compare and contrast these two books in this essay. In this paragraph I will tell you a small summary of each story. In “Cat and Rat: Legend of the Chinese Zodiac” all of the animals in the land are racing to see who will get named on the Chinese calendar...

...of the river, without leaving the dog alone with the cat or the cat alone with the mouse. What the activity required me to accomplish was to get the three animals across the river without leaving the dog alone with the cat or the cat alone with the mouse. The dog and mouse were able to be left alone but the cat could not be left alone with neither, the dog or mouse. I needed to remove the cat from the situation on both sides of the river to ensure the cat was not eaten or did not eat the mouse. I tried several times to take the animals across the river one after another but then tried taking the cat out of the situation on each side so the dog and mouse were left alone. I had to take the cat across the river first. Then come back and get the dog. Once the dog was dropped off on the other side, I had to pick up the cat and take it back over to the original side of the river. Then pick up the mouse and take it to the other side. Then I had to go back over to the original side of the river and pick up the cat to take it across the river. It was difficult to understand at first but once I discovered that I could take the cat back to the original side of the river it all began to make more sense to me. As I dropped off the dog, taking the cat back to get the mouse made it where the dog and mouse were the only two animals being left alone on either side of the river. It was a lot easier to solve the problem when I realized the cat to come back to the original side of the river but before...

...situation I knew that the raft was only big enough for the man and one animal at a time and the cat could not be left alone with the dog or the mouse. The obstacle was to get them all on the same side. The strategies that I used were trial and error and algorithms. Trial and error is where you try different ways to come up with a solution. Algorithms are where a problem-solving method guarantees a solution if it is appropriate for the problem and is properly carried out (Morris and Maisto, p.276). At first I tried moving the cat over first and that left the dog and the mouse together, then I tried moving the dog over but of course they fought when I sent the raft back. I was not getting anywhere. So I kept going back to the text and reading over the chapter. I encountered many obstacles while solving the problem. It took me a while to figure out how to isolate the cat from the dog and the mouse because the cat was the trouble maker. Yes I was aware of this thought process but it did not come to me until the end that I could move the cat to the other side then send the raft back and get the dog and bring him to the other side. Then you have to put the cat on the raft and send the cat back to the other side where the mouse is. Take the cat off and put the mouse on and send the mouse over to the dog. Send the raft back and put the cat on the raft and send the cat over the mouse and dog. It took me I do not know how many tries but it was a fun experience. It makes you think...

...correct results. The problem had a cat, dog, and a mouse that need to cross the river, but the raft will only hold two of them at a time. I knew that I couldn’t leave the mouse and cat, but also knew I couldn’t leave the dog and cat as well. So when I started the problem solving I sent the cat first, then dog and after doing this I brought the cat back then took the mouse. This seemed very easy to solve but unfortunately I knew that the cat couldn’t be left with the dog or the mouse. I realized that the cat would fight with the dog and the cat would eat the mouse as well. Once I got the problem solved I did try different strategies of how I could get each animal to cross the river in a different way, but did keep in mind that each step I tried wasn’t going to work because I couldn’t leave the cat alone with either one. These was my first steps I took the cat over first then went back to get the dog, then I realized this wouldn’t work unless I brought the cat back. Then when I brought the cat back I knew the cat and the mouse couldn’t be together as well, so then I brought the mouse over. After I solved the problem I did the opposite I brought the mouse first then realized again this wasn’t going to work do to the fact the dog and cat wouldn’t get along either so then I went back and done the first problem solving that made the most sense to me. So I crossed the river first with the cat then I crossed the river with the dog and brought the cat back across the river and then got...

...task. Other than squirrels, some birds and bee also stock up for the winter. Once the squirrels have reach there supply limit, you cannot persuade them to add more. When the squirrel were present with more food the squirrels had no interest, but when present more supplies were presented to humans, they would accept even if they did not need it. In this finding, Twain was able to get people to believe that human were materialistic and squirrels only took what they needed and nothing more. To show how cruel humans really are, Mark Twain uses an example of a cat and mouse. The cat captured the mouse and tortured the mouse out of pure entertainment. In Twains argument, he argued that the cat showed no signs of having a conscious, because the cat did understand that the mouse was suffering. Twain did notice the cat did not tear the mouse skin nor did the cat rip the mouse eye out, but as soon as the cat was done play with the mouse, the ate it and put an end to the torture. Mark Twain argues that humans have a conscious and morality to know that torture of another human is wrong, but throughout history humans know it wrong but still continue it today. In the essay “The Damned Human Race”, Mark Twain showed how humans were lower than other animals. Twain argued that people do not like criticism and tried to use humor so that he would not offend anyone. Twain exposed how human were destructive without reason. People may debate that humans are the reasoning animal but his experiment prove...

...without making two trips across the lake with adding two animals on the raft with me. But my first expression was how anyone would be able to solve the problem without placing the two last two animals on the raft with them. What strategy did you use and how did you evaluate your progress? Well, I have thought about the situation if you take the dog across lake first; then this would leave the cat and the mouse alone on the other side. Then, if you take the cat across first then the mouse is safe on the other side. But here’s where your problem comes in at; because of the cat being on the other side it doesn’t get alone with neither dog nor the mouse. So, then this seems like the cat is the main problem of getting all three animals across the lake. This is what makes it difficult to solve. Did you encounter any obstacles while solving the problem? I’ve thought about it and I tried all three positions that I could think of to get all three animals across the river. At first I was going to take the cat across; but then when I go back to get another animal you couldn’t leave the cat with neither animal. So this is where I think the problem cannot be solved; but if you look at it the animals are together on one side of the river and their not fighting amongst each other. So I’ve come up with a conclusion...

...understanding of the character’s personality and traits. They also widen the gap between the groups by showing the natural hierarchy of the animals. The choice to use animals instead of humans was a positive addition to the story; animals were used in their most simplistic form so the traits that they were given during the time of the holocaust could be more easily understood. An illustration demonstrates this concept by having a Jewish family hiding in a bunker inside a garbage hole. Presented as mice, they were hiding in a hole underground that was filled with garbage, showing that they were cowards and dirty creatures. There is also another illustration where they are hiding from the Nazis, who are portrayed as cats, by crawling through a tunnel, like a mouse hole, to escape into another area. This also shows their sneaky and cowardly actions. Another way in which the Jewish people’s perceived personality is brought out by the nature of the rodent is shown when Vladek and his wife Anja are hiding and are in a storage locker with rats. “There are RATS, giant rats! They’re horrible!” exclaimed Anja. (pg.148, panel 5) Anja said that they were horrible and in the Nazis’ perspective the Jews were just as horrible as rodents. Between the Nazis and the Jews there...

...Rubab Rahat Kath and Mouse 1. The nickname given to Helen is Mouse. Kathryn Morris aka Kath gave her this nickname because Helen “did look like a mouse, with mouse-brown hair and small, sharp features”. Helen is called Mouse because she is very quiet, shy, and passive. She is not confident enough to confront Kath for being mean to her; instead she “ducks her head like she’s been hit”. Helen is called Mouse because she behaves like an underdog who doesn’t speak up for herself against Kath. 2. The story takes place in a school during winter, “It was about ten below zero”. The setting signifies a normal school life of the present where one meets all sorts of people; both good and bad, bullies, friends, and etc. The mood and atmosphere of the story is very intense and harsh for Helen. 3. During lunch, Helen sat on Kath’s table without an invitation. “…Helen would know she had already broken one of the most important rules. No one sat at Kath’s table without and invitation.” Kath | Helen | Kevin | * Plays oboe * Overconfident * Powerful * Insecure “…she just acted like Kath didn’t exist.

...the criminal mouse be hung for his crime. Some of the animals that play major roles in the story are a large beetle, raccoon, and a praying mantis. The specifics of each animal in the hanging are “A raccoon, wearing the traditional black mask, was the executioner…..A large praying mantis was in charge of the religious end of the ceremonies.” (Barnet, Cain, & Burto, 2010) The animals during the execution had a hard time watching the mouse death. “It was all so touching that a cat, who had brought her child in her mouth, shed several large tears. They rolled down on to the child’s back and he began to squirm and shriek, so that the mother thought that the sight of the hanging had perhaps been too much for him.” (Barnet, Cain, & Burto, 2010) The large beetles were the soldiers because of their armor shells. The raccoons as executioner, because of the black mask the raccoons are made with. A praying mantis had the duty of taking charge of the religious ceremony, since they are “praying” since it is part of their name and is linked to religion. Not knowing what the mouse did criminally, he seemed remorseful. All the animals in the crowd seemed to be happy that the mouse was about to get death. The writer implies that the mouse has done something serious to get death as a penalty, but the writer does not say what the mouse crime was. The writer leaves the readers in suspense of what the mouse crime was to get death. When the Bullfrog emerged to read the verdict of the mouse, couldn’t...
