...Zoos are internment camps for animals and should be shut down. As a kid I loved going to the Zoo. I especially enjoyed the one in Houston Texas. When we are young we like to see animals. Petting an animal, like a tiger or a lion was a great challenge, yet it was exiting. When we are young seen an animal behind the bars of a cage is an awesome feeling. It does not matter what animal, either a tiger or even a Zebra they are a beautiful and exotic. One thing many people don’t realize is how I fell about the animals been in the cage. On my eight birth day I got a big present. My parents gave me a dog, and I named it Jimmy. When my parents gave me the dog they both told me “son this little pet is like a human you have to treated good like how you would like to be treated ok.” After my firs dog Jimmy I realize that many people don’t think about animal and their feeling. Animals are just living creatures to many. Zoo look at animals like a great business. Keeping all the animals in a limited perimeter is awful. A monkey especially they are keep in a metal box with bars. I bet that they fill like criminals, but with no felonies or crimes. A habitat for a monkey it’s a place with limitless area so that he can jump around everywhere. In some zoo they have bigger cages for animals; it does not make a difference how big or small they are, because at the end they are still trap. Many animals die in the zoo. Why do the animals die in the zoo? That is a question many ask. They...

...Yazan Arafeh November 23, 2011 L.A/Block 4 Animal Farm Chapters 1-2 “Word had gone round during the day that old Major, the prize Middle Wight boar, had had a strange dream on the previous night and wished to communicate it to the other animals…Old Major (so he was always called, though the name under which he had been exhibited was Willingdon Beauty) was so highly regarded on the farm that everyone was quite ready to lose an hour’s sleep in order to hear what he had to say.”(pg 15) This is an exposition. It explains who old Major is. It explains that old Major is not his actual name. He is the boar. He is also a very important animal in the story because it says he was so highly regarded. The animals respected him like a high person. He was probably the king of the animals. Chapter 2 “And so, before they knew what was happening, the Rebellion had been successfully carried through: Jones was expelled, and the Manor Farm was theirs.”(pg 29) It was so unexpected that it would happen so fast. I thought the Rebellion of the animals against Man would take a very long time such as a year or ten years. It happened so fast that I was shocked. Chapter 1 Question Old Major tries to persuade the animals into a Rebellion against Man. He tells the animals what their life is right then and now, and also tells them what their life will be when they succeed in the Rebellion against Man. He persuades them by describing to all the animals how miserable, and short their...

...Paws before Hands Flipping through the telly channels, I came across a video of a small, big-eyed puppy, not longer than twelve inches, nor taller than half a foot, scurrying fast away to meet its’ owner with its mouth poised ready to administer those slobbery wet affectionate kisses. As the owner, slowly begins to ruffle the velvet soft fur, a wide smile spreads across the owners’ already wet slippery face. However, as soon as the owner rises their hand to smite that small big-eyed puppy: the once velvety fur begins to find its’ way on to the floor, the once affectionate kisses, no longer met the owner’s face. What heartless person would live to see an animal suffer? How cold are the hearts of those who will not see the smiles, feel the warmth that these animals bring into our world? I strongly believe that animals should be free, and should not suffer, because we decide that they are not worthy of our time. Growing up in East Africa, Uganda, loving an animal was something I was told not to do. We were to treat them as animals, things that had no feelings: They were animals, just emotionless things. Times, I had watched people chase and a time beat their pets, if they dared enter the house or eat off their plates. I was completely naïve about the whole situation, of how horribly most animals were treated. I had not really cared much about the way animals were treated until the day I hit my dog with a stick [aged 8]. That look in his eyes, said everything, I had lost his trust...

...Suffering: Learning Not to Care and Not to Know” “Animal Suffering: Learning Not to Care and Not to Know,” by William Crain addresses the issue humans have created in relation to raising children and killing animals for meat. The topic of killing animals, even for food, is always in debate. It becomes evident at a young age that children have a profound love for animals. In a specific 1999 study performed by Psychologist David Foulkes, it was found that kids under the age of seven tend to dream about animals, in one way or another. Most children understand that animals are their own beings and should be treated with respect, but what they don’t understand is that meat comes from many of the animals they care about so deeply. When kids find out about animals dying in order for meat to be produced, they immediately want to become a vegetarian. Due to their ages, these decisions are highly irrational, but still require parents to spend hours convincing their kids to abandon vegetarianism. Animals and people struggle to live in peace together, and young children dream of a harmless world. There is not enough research on the subject matter of how children react to choices made by adults with respect to animals and food. Going through life allows children to transform from a caring child to a detached adult. This transformation is crucial to understand the practices and lifestyles followed by the human race. From late 2005 through the present, a study was conducted to determine the...

...Some people claim that everyday thousands of people are saved from painful diseases and death by powerful medical drugs and treatments . This incredible gift of medicine would not be possible without animal testing . Despite these overwhelming benefits , however , some individuals are calling for animal testing to be banned because of alleged cruelty. Those who are against the use of animal testing argue that it is inhumane to use animals in save human’s existence. However I completely disagree with such approach. It would be much more inhumane to test new drugs or some other medical elements on children or adults because all people are like big family and therefore people should not put their lives under risk. The second reason why I am in favour of animal testing is that the result of medical experiments are not often applicable to humans .this maybe partly true as some drugs have had to be withdrawn despite being tested on men , therefore as we simply do not have alternative methods of testing , because computer models are not so advanced enough and testing on plants is much less applicable to humans than test on animals such as monkeys . Unless we have a better system we have to use animal testing to provide human’s safety when scientist using drugs A further point often raised against animal testing is that it is cruel . some of the test certainly seem painful , but the great majority of people on this planet eat meat or wear...

...Jacob Ferguson Mrs. Bennett English 10A/3rd hour 2nd November, 2016 Symbolism Symbolism is a creative way authors choose to describe people, places, or objects in a piece of writing. By using symbolism, an author can give something more significance in a story, and add an extra layer of meaning that wasn’t there before. In “The Great Gatsby” symbolism is used to give a deeper meaning to the story, and by analyzing it the reader can better understand the message it is portraying. F. Scott Fitzgerald uses symbolism throughout “The Great Gatsby” in a variety of unique ways to express his feelings about 1920’s America. Between West Egg and the city lies The Valley of Ashes, a place symbolised in “The Great Gatsby”, as grey, and dreary. By using...

...Quantavius Thornwell Kimberly Covington English 101 10-15-14 The Diverse Symbolism in “A Raisin in the Sun” Symbolism is a powerful tool. Throughout the play “A Raisin in the Sun” multiple types of symbolism are clearly shown. Lorraine Hansberry did a wonderful job of allowing the different types of symbols to be seen. She used symbols through people and objects to get certain points across. She is smart in her use of symbolism because she is able to get a feeling of the time period in which they are in, from certain objects that represent something else. The use of symbolism is very important and it helps the reader get a more detail sense of the issue, problem, or event that is occurring. The first use of symbolism is the plant in which Mama takes care of. The plant represents many things but the most obvious example is that the plant represents the family. Mama knows if she continues to deep nurture and care for the plant then the plant will survive through the living condition it is in. “Lord, if this little old plant don’t get more sun than it’s been getting it ain’t never going to see spring again.” In this quote, Mama explains that the plant is dying because the sun is not shining on it and no sun is shining on the Younger family either. She never gives up on the plant and puts great hope and care towards it. The way she treats the plant is the same way she treats here family in their fragile and rough living condition they are surviving in. At the end when all...

...Symbolism in “A Pair of Tickets” The same way scratches on paper create language and just one look from an admirer creates a feeling of love in ones heart; symbolism can evoke emotion and meaning that generates magic in a story. I believe symbolism is a prevalent and unwavering theme weaved throughout Amy Tan’s short story “A Pair of Tickets.” Many things, such as the names of the characters, and the photographs they take in the story embody symbolism and turn this story into a remarkable account of family and how it is one of life’s unbreakable bonds. The importance of symbolism in this short story makes it come alive to the reader. To summarize of Amy Tans “A Pair of Tickets” we look at the main character, Jing-mei. She is on a train, with her father, heading to China to visit her family. She speaks of not feeling like she is really Chinese. Although all of her family is Chinese, she grew up in America because that is where her parents moved during the Japanese invasion of China. They first visit the town of Guangzhou, where her father’s great aunt is waiting to see them. This is the first time the reader gets a glimpse of Jing-mei being interested in her Chinese heritage. “The minute our train leaves the Hong Kong border and enters Shenzhen, China, I feel different. I can feel the skin on my forehead tingling, my blood rushing through a new course, my bones aching with a familiar old pain. And I think, my mother was right. I am becoming Chinese.” (Norton, 189.)

...Hathaway English 125 Anna C. Morrison June 10, 2012 The Journey of Life The journey of “life” that we all take is the most amazing experience that any one of us could have. Every one of us humans has a story to tell about our journey of “life.” Whether it is a story of an experience we once had, a relationship, a decision we had to make, or countless other topics these experiences make up the most amazing journey of “life” that we all make from birth to death. And many of the journeys in life can be a struggle. Eudora Welty’s short story “A Worn Path” is the story of an old woman experiencing a journey in her life with countless struggles along the way. Eudora Welty’s short story “A Warn Path” gives us the journey that an old woman makes out of love for her family and the strong will and determination she has to complete the journey. Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken” is a poem about having to make a hard decision during his journey of life. Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken” gives us the journey on a man who has to make a decision and choose what path he wants to spend the rest of his life down. Both “A Warn Path” and “The Road Not Taken” have one particular theme which is “Journey,” but both pieces of literature have different content, form and style. While the journey is the theme of each of these pieces of literature, each author gives a different perspective of the journey through different meaning. In the poem “The Road Not Taken,” Robert Frost portrays the...

...Symbolism of the Journey in "The Road Not Taken" and "A Worn Path" ENG125: Introduction to Literature Instructor: Deborah Cunningham Amber Huntley April 9, 2013 Symbolism of the Journey in "The Road Not Taken" and "A Worn Path" When reading a short story or a poem it is not possible to comprehend the author’s true meaning of his or her written word without using symbolism to bring the literary work to life. Oftentimes the symbolism can be interpreted differently by each individual. We do know that the symbolism of literary works are created in the imagination of the writer to show certain events or interrelated facets of the literary work. Moreover, the joy of reading is so that the reader can interpret what these symbols mean to them and begin the wonderful journey into the world of literature. As we read, we begin to unravel and decode the symbolic nature of the characters journey throughout the written word. Also; the journey is not only in the reading of the literary work but, in deciphering the symbolism to find its true meaning as it relates to you, the reader of the short story or poem. Therefore, we can see from Robert Frost’s poem, “The Road Not Taken,” and Eudora Welty’s short story, “A Worn Path” that the symbolism a writer uses is the journey to discovering the path of the literary work itself. The best example of this symbolic journey is Robert Frost’s poem, “The Road Not Taken.”. In this poem we read about a man...

...The Use of Symbolism inHenrick Ibsen’s Play, “A Doll’s House” Henrick Ibsen has outdone himself in his play “A Doll’s House”. Ibsen has refined and fine-tuned the taste and view of his plays with the use of different techniques, among them being Symbolism. Symbolism is among the most common techniques used in drama. Symbolism is the use of symbols to represent ideas and qualities, in an artistic and poetic style. It uses images, and indirect suggestions to express mystical ideas, emotions, suggestions and states of mind. Symbolism adds another layer of meaning to the meaning of script writing. While the clear, obvious meaning lies on the surface, symbolism is mostly hidden from the “front row” and it usually lies deeper than it seems. Ibsen utilizes symbolism in the play “A Doll’s House” with the purpose of revealing a certain character. In Nora’s character, Ibsen says that he used symbolism to develop her character and in the end the character’s qualities were incredibly outstanding that even the critics said it was an outstanding move. The play, “A Doll’s House,” revolves around the life of the two Main characters; TorvaldHelmer and his wife, Nora Helmer. They live in a “Doll looking House”, as it is symbolically represented by Ibsen. The play’ tittle, “A Doll’s House,” also symbolizes that all the people that live in Torvalds residence are “dolls.” Torvald plays with them when he pleases and ignores them when he has work to do or something else in his mind("Henrik Ibsen's...

...Religious Symbolism in American Film Director/Actor, Robert Redford It can be noted that in the majority of all the films directed by Robert Redford, there is a strong resemblance between the films and the characters he creates. Redford is strongly opinionated on politics and ethical rights. Political and religious symbolism can be found in almost all of his films. One of the most notable hallmarks of Robert Redford’s work, A River Runs Through It, is a profound example of the raw emotion Redford instills within his character that resonates so well with a wide range of audiences. Within the films he directs, Robert Redford’s characters seem to harbor emotions that bleed through the screen and into the viewer’s home because—much like the filmmaker himself—Redford’s films truly wear their heart on their sleeves. The films themselves seem to creep into the audience’s minds, leaving viewers longing for more or to simply be there in that moment feeling just like the characters Redford creates on screen. Born August 18, 1936, in Santa Monica, California, Robert Redford has proved to be one of the greats in American filmmaking; starring in classics such as The Sting and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Robert Redford is also notably known for helping kick-start The Sundance Film Festival in 1978, which has since evolved into one of the film industry's most prominent affairs. However, before experiencing success within the American filmmaking community, Redford started out as the...

...because of Lennie making his mistakes and get went north to get a job there to get money. They had a dream and it was to have a few acres and rabbits to tend, but sorrowful it ended in loneliness. Steinbeck wants us to understand about loneliness because loneliness it makes a man or woman depressing. Steinbeck uses foreshadowing when George pulls out the luger because the same thing happened to Candy’s dog when Carlson pull the luger to put down Candy’s dog. Foreshadowing is used throughout the novel to know that loneliness is getting through everyone. One example of this is when Candy was laying down on his bed staring at the ceiling after he said his final goodbyes to his dog. In the novel, it states that, “ Take a shovel, said Slim shortly. Oh sure! I get you. He led the dog out into the darkness. Candy lay rigidly on his bed staring at the ceiling”. (pg.48) Loneliness is what damages a man, George believes people that are alone are...
