...carry large responsibilities. We cannot allow these pets to be introduced to our society, for the good of the pets, and the welfare of our nation. Furthermore we cannot allow these dangerous exotic pets into our society because of the notion that they are dangerous. The article “Do You Really Want a Baby Tiger?” states that When these exotic animals grow up, that “an adult animal is also likely to be aggressive and have more difficult behaviors then a baby tiger.” This article also states, that quote they are wild animals with wild animal instincts, even when born in captivity.” We cannot have American cities and suburbs teaming with wild animals. These exotic and dangerous animals...

...an exotic animal is hard work because you have to make their home as similar as possible to their natural habitat. In addition, you have to feed them more food than what you would normally do to regular pet such as a dog or cat. Also you would have to make sure there is a cage or shelter for the animal to live in. Any way, keeping a dangerous animal as a pet is a bad idea because they can attack you, they are expensive, and last but not least, and are a threat to public safety. Although animals are adorable and fun to have around, exotic animals are the opposite. Keeping an exotic animal in your house means that you have to train them to listen and obey your commands. But what if they don't’ listen and go wild and attack you. If the animal does attack you, at the end you can be seriously injured or maybe even dead. For example, in the article written by “REXANO”, it states that “In the last 10-16 years, 1.5 people on average gets killed by captive...

...importance of life experience in order to fully understand the fiction. These are all things the main character, Tess, has to deal with. Tess is playing the Nurse in her school’s staging of William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet”. She is a fifteen year-old girl who lives in Winetka with her parents. Her father is a priest and her mother owns a fabric store. It is a very isolated community which bores and frustrates Tess: “Neither of them […] know what it’s like to have your whole world contained in the tenblock radius of the church, school, home, and the fabric store. This, I know, is why I act. I have to feel what it’s like in somebody else’s skin.”1 Tess desperately wants to leave Winetka and craves a more exiting existence in New York: “I want to worry about rent and the smelly man who sits on my doorstep. I want to have three lovers at three different theatres, one suicidal and the other two Caribbean”2 This sounds like something out of a book and Tess is definitely quite inspired by fiction, which makes her despite her own reality. Therefore she tries to escape the monotony of her community through acting, but this time finds it hard to identify with her character, the Nurse. It is inexplicable to Tess why the Nurse would care so much about the Capulets, about Juliet, when she is...

...The other day I was playing a game called "Kids on Stage" with my 2-year-old. I had to act out "tiger," so I got down on all fours and roared. He laughed, so I roared even louder, which only made him laugh more. Eventually he came up to me, patted my head and said "kitty kat" with benevolent condescension. This perfectly sums up my status in the animal pack of mothers defined by Amy Chua's "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother." There are the fierce tigers who churn out child prodigies, and then there are the pussycats who waste their afternoons playing useless board games and get bested by their own toddlers. In pretty much every way, I am the weak-willed, pathetic Western parent that Ms. Chua describes. My children go on playdates and sleepovers; in fact I wish they would go on more of them. When they give me lopsided, hastily drawn birthday cards, I praise them as if they were Matisse, sometimes with tears in my eyes. (Ms. Chua threw back one quickly scribbled birthday card, saying "I reject this," and told her daughters they could do better.) My middle son is skilled at precisely the two extracurricular activities Ms. Chua most mocks: He just got a minor part in the school play as a fisherman, and he is a master of the drums, the instrument that she claims leads directly to using drugs (I'm not sure if she is joking or not). I would be thrilled, of course, if my eldest child made it to Carnegie Hall at 14, which is the great crescendo of the Chua family story (although I...

He lies among wolf-cubs, next to Mother Wolf’s side, and he is not afraid. Outside the cave Shere Khan, the man-eating tiger, roars angrily, wanting to kill. ‘No!’ says Mother Wolf. ‘The man’s cub belongs to me. He will live, to run with the other wolves, to be my son. And I will call him Mowgli.’ The years pass, and Mowgli the man’s cub grows up with the wolves. He learns the Law of the Jungle from his teachers, Baloo the old brown bear and Bagheera the black panther. He has many adventures, and many friends among the animals of the jungle. But he still has an enemy. Shere Khan the tiger has not forgotten. He waits for the day when he can catch the man’s cub – and kill him. 4790642 Jungle Book 24/11/06 11:45 Page ii 4790642 Jungle Book 24/11/06 11:45 Page iii OXFORD BOOKWORMS LIBRARY Classics The Jungle Book Stage 2 (700 headwords) Series Editor: Jennifer Bassett Founder Editor: Tricia Hedge Activities Editors: Jennifer Bassett and Alison Baxter 4790642 Jungle Book 24/11/06 11:45 Page iv 4790642 Jungle Book 13/1/07 07:50 Page v RUDYARD KIPLING The Jungle Book Retold by Ralph Mowat Illustrated by Kanako Damerum and Yuzuru Takasaki OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS 4790642 Jungle Book 24/11/06 11:45 Page vi Great Clarendon Street, Oxford ox2 6dp Oxford University...

Animals that are captivity or zoos do not enjoy being there. Animals should not be kept in captivity. Zoos aren’t the best place for endangered wild animals.” Zoos and wildlife parks almost always favor big, “popular” animals while ignoring smaller animals who need protection. Plus, keeping animals in cages does nothing to help their species in the wild. If zoos really wanted to save animals from extinction, they would be helping protect animals’ natural habitats, not keeping them in prisons” (5 secrets...

...copyright notice. The Tiger King's Skin Cloak A Mongolian Story Long, long ago there lived in the Land of the Khans a poor Alad [a serf or a herdsman in the days of feudalism]. His wife bore three children, but unfortunately they all died. No further children were born to the couple and they lived a solitary and wretched life. Then unexpectedly one winter's day the Alad's wife gave birth to a boy. The couple were overjoyed, but, they began to wonder how they were going to raise their child. Except for a cow and two mountain goats they had nothing of any value. What were they to do? Though distressed they nevertheless went outside their tent to milk the cow for the baby. The child grew not by the day but by the hour. Before evening he had grown taller and sturdier than a man. Husband and wife were both astonished and delighted. They named their boy Ku-nan, which means Ancient South. On the very first day Ku-nan ate up a whole goat. On the next day he ate up the other one. The old couple were filled with dismay. One more day, they thought, and even the cow will be done for! And then what will we have to live on? On the third day Ku-nan said to his mother, "Ah-Ma, we are so poor and we have only a cow left. Let me go and find some work to do. I'm afraid I'll fall ill if I stay at home any longer." She looked at her son's tall and robust figure and, taking his big hand in her, said in a tearful voice, "My son, what work can you do? Hai! You may perhaps go to the Khan...

...both love to read. (But I’m not an editor-in-chief like he is.) And we both are still in love with someone after high school. Okay. Maybe I am a lot like Takano. But just not only in personality. I lay on the couch with my cat lying on my stomach and was purring away. I was petting her gently as possible while I was reading the Sekai-ichi Hatuskoi manga. This volume was back on Ritsu’s point of view. The last one was on Takano’s. He was explaining everything that happens between him and Ritsu. He was really mean to Ritsu then, but I like it how he slowly began to fall for Ritsu’s loving smile. Or was it just him in general? I closed the book and remember the page I was on. It’s been so long since I read the series. I took off my glasses and pinch the bridge of my nose then rubbing my eyes. I have been working my ass off since I graduated from the Early College High School to become an E4 in the Air Force. I was seventeen years old when I enlisted, but I really couldn’t do anything while I was still in high school working on college courses. But I did work on getting at least a 4.0 in my GPA or whatever it was I needed. I was nineteen years old when I graduated from my fifth year in high school and it was the last time I saw any of my friends. It has been four years since I have seen any of them, but I have talked to one. Joanna McCarty. I call her a true friend unlike my other friends. Sure, they have done stuff for me. Sure, they have given me advice once in a while....

...1-1 Do you like to spend time by yourself? When I was in middle school and high school, I got the impression that being alone meant you were a social outcast. At lunch, for example, only the "losers" or "nerds" ate alone; if you were surrounded by friends, you were popular. As a result, I was always anxious about being alone. Like a lot of young people, I worried about having enough friends and going out on the weekends instead of staying home like a "loner." I have to admit, though, that I spent more weekends at home than I did out on the town with my friends. As I've grown older, though, I think I've come to appreciate more and more having some time to be alone. Maybe it's the constant noise and demands of three children that helps me appreciate some quiet time to myself. In fact, some of my favorite time during the day is the time I spend driving to and from work (I live about twenty minutes from where I work). I often listen to the radio, so I don't know if I'm technically alone, but it's time where I can think and reflect on things that have happened during the day. It's often during this time that I have some of my best ideas, too. If we ought to be familiar with anyone, it should be ourselves. And spending time alone can help us come to know ourselves better. In this lesson, you will read some pieces that show the authors learning about themselves. You will see through the readings how the experiences we go through often teach us things about ourselves that we didn't...

...enough equity for you to enjoy a life of financial freedom. But what if everything you've been led to believe about your 401(k) retirement plan is not only untrue, but just the opposite of what you have been told? Wouldn’t you want to know immediately while there was still time to capture the American Dream? Those nearing retirement are extremely concerned, and rightly so, that a collapse of the stock market could spell possible disaster for their 401(k) and other retirement investments. The credit crunch and housing meltdown of 2007-08 are stark reminders of the dot.com debacle of 200002 that halved market values, forcing retirement for many to be postponed or scaled down in quality. Many lost their retirement, jobs, homes and lifetime savings. The information contained in this publication may well be the most important information that you have read and could affect the quality of your planned retirement for years and/or the rest of your life. In addition to learning important retirement information, you will learn the 7 S.E.C.R.E.T.S. of the Super Wealthy, how to remove your money tax-free from your company’s 401(k) plan and place it under your own control without stopping work or dropping out of your employer’s plan, and how to keep more in your estate while passing more to your family members or other designated heirs by using tax savings strategies that are the playground of the wealthy.
