...Kelsey Franklin English 1106 Mr. Royal Rhetorical Analysis February 15, 2015 Zoo Cages How would you feel if you were locked in a cage, made of cement with nothing to do or no way to look out and see the world? If you were constantly being pointed at by people starring down your every move, through a 12 inch glass? Well zoo animals go through this everyday of their lives. The radiolab called, Inside Out Cage, by Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich and the scientific article, Transfer and Acclimatization Effects on the Behavior of Two Species of African Great Ape (Pan troglodytes and Gorilla gorilla) Moved to a Novel and Naturalistic Zoo Environment, both discuss the scientific discovery and the effects on gorillas in different type of cages...

...According to the Humane Society, the overcrowded and unsanitary conditions of most puppy mills cause many different health problems. The Humane Society noted that the stacked wire cages usually have wired floors, which unfortunately allow feces to fall through to the cages below, and allows parasites and infectious diseases to spread. In addition, the ASPCA claims that the wired flooring can injure or trap paws and legs (Puppy Mills, ASPCA). Under current regulations, puppy mills only need to provide food and water, yet the water is usually filthy or contaminated and food is often infested with maggots or mold. There is no requirement on the number of workers at a facility, so in a low budget operation it is difficult to maintain a healthy environment. According to the ASPCA, “Puppy mill puppies are prone to congenital and hereditary conditions, including heart disease and blood and respiratory disorders” (Puppy Mills ASPCA). For example, respiratory problems can be caused by the high levels of ammonia from urine that builds up. In addition, a buildup of urine and feces causes matting in many dogs fur. Unfortunately, under the present standards, these sick or injured dogs rarely get medical attention. These problems could be controlled with improved regulations and required veterinary...

...The Infinite Birdcage Intelligent, unintelligent, furry, bare or clothed if there's one thing all life has in common, its that a life lived outside the walls is always going to be better than one trapped within. This speaks to the very foundations of existence, on this great green Earth we are not meant to live a life of imprisonment. The difference between animals and humans is that unlike animals, we have the capacity to be trapped within our own heads, by a mindset or even by the kind of lifestyle we live. The feeling of captivity can be manifested entirely in the mind, and from there, can hold hostage ones ambitions, dreams, and even the progression of their life. On the one side, a cage offers safety, care, and stability; where...

...millions of pigs and chickens in a un humanly way . Pigs and chickens are slaughtered every year and most of these pigs and chickens are confined in small indoor pens - cages with no room to even move . With no chance of seeing the sky or green grass once . This is why i think battery farming is wrong, Pigs and chickens are killed every day for the meat. The pigs are usually slaughtered after 4-7 months from birth not even a year to live . Pigs intended for pork are usually slaughtered 1-2 months and the chickens are used to lay eggs until they die . I believe that battery farming is wrong, because the pigs are raised in cramped metal pens inside filthy, disgusting sheds and the chickens are put into a small metal cage with stakes of other chickens on top of their...

...before and after a Spontaneous Pneumothorax Do you know that you breathe anywhere between 15 to 25 times per minute? It might not seem so but we do, it even goes higher when you exercise. The lung is located within your chest cavity inside the rib cage. They are made of spongy, elastic tissue that stretches and constricts as you breathe. The airways that bring air into the lungs (the trachea and bronchi) are made -of smooth muscle and cartilage, allowing the airways to constrict and expand. The lungs and airways bring in fresh, oxygen-enriched air and get rid of waste carbon dioxide made by your cells. They also help in regulating the concentration of hydrogen ion (pH) in your blood (www.howstuffworks.com). When you inhale the diagram and the muscles between your rib cage contracts and expand the chest cavity. This pressure inside the chest cavity is now lower than the outside air pressure. The airs then flows thorough the airways and inflates the lungs. During exhalation, the muscles and the diaphragm relax and the chest cavity gets smaller. The decrease in volume of the cavity increases the pressure in the chest cavity above the outside air pressure. Air from the lungs then flows out of the airways to the outside air. The cycle then repeats with each breath. There are many- common conditions that can affect your lungs. Diseases or conditions of the lung fall mainly into two classes -- those that make breathing harder and those that damage the lungs' ability to exchange...

...imprisonment both internally and externally. In “A Hunger Artist” Kafka explores how imprisonment could be on an internal, external, and social level using his symbolic depiction of the cage in the story. Kafka begins describing the artist’s sense of emptiness and misery by stating “His inner dissatisfaction always rankled, and never yet, after any term of fasting –this must be granted to his credit-had he left the cage of his own free will” (Kafka 82-83). This passage describes his pride and his need to stay physically imprisoned as if to prove something to the society, something they still didn’t understand. The cage had been a point of interest in the town for most of the story, but when public interest died down it was merely present in the town but not cared for. This part of the story emphasizes the span of a certain entertaining act and art’s quickly changing trends. This contrast symbolizes the same format of a religious story, the people are interested in the prophet in the beginning of his time; however when times get tough society will simply overlook or disapprove of the message and outcast the messenger. The cage is not only a symbol of his imprisonment among others, but also his own dissatisfaction of his art, and of the limitations and disbeliefs people feel towards his craft. The cage is a literal symbol that represents the artists’ internal...

...parents are very poor. Their father is a woodcutter, and rarely can find food to support his family as this great famine has come to the land. He and his wife lay in bed and his wife says to him, “Early tomorrow morning we will take the two children out into the thickest part of the woods…then leave them by themselves and go off to our work…and we will be rid of them” (53). The stepmother gives the father no peace until he accepts this offer, about to let their children perish in the woods. Hansel, who overhears the conversation between his stepmother and father, goes outside to collect as many pebbles that he could fit in his jacket. When morning comes, the stepmother wakes the children and tells them to get ready to go into the woods to collect wood. Hansel and Gretel know what is bound to happen. The stepmother gives them bread; “Here is something for midday. Don’t eat it any sooner, for you’ll not get anymore” (53). Hansel is placing pebbles on the ground as they walk to the middle of the woods, to succumb to the cold and scary woods. Hansel and Gretel fall asleep and when the dark night approaches, they awake. Being scared and not...

This is all on purpose so the animals never have the chance to exercise, which increases the amount of meat on them. Another way the industry fattens up the animals is by...

...O’Neil 1 Becky O’Neil Arquette Eng. 112-01 December 6th, 2012 “Trifles” by Susan Glaspell During the 19th century, possibilities for women were severely restricted. Women were not allowed to vote, could not control their own finances, and were not able to work outside the home(unless widowed), any money or property they had was turned over to their husbands upon their marriage. Much of history is written from the male perspective. Women of that era were struggling with finding a sense of themselves and a certain freedom from the traditional gender roles society had dictated for them. Susan Glaspell’s “Trifles” portrays these struggles through Mrs. Wright, who is expected to conform but resorts to an act of desperation to gain her freedom. The tale begins when Mr. Hale pays a visit to his neighbor, John Wright, only to discover That Mr. Wright is dead. Upon asking Mrs. Wright what killed him, she tells him, “He died of the rope around his neck.”(789) The sheriff and the County Attorney are called and arrive at the scene. However, in this case the professionals fall short in their task to find evidence of a motive for murder. It is the two women who accompany their husbands to the house who uncover the vital clues as to motive. Mrs. Hale, the wife of the man who reported the crime, and Mrs. Peters, the sheriff’s wife, are left in the kitchen. They are there only to gather a few...

...Raymond Carver’s story, "Cathedral’, talks about an outside relationship within a marriage that is established between the narrator’s wife and a blind man. The story elaborates how the relationship can affect the normal relations of the couple. Communication in that marriage is not as effective as expected. Also, the privacy of the husband is affected. However, openness results to seeing a cathedral when the husband explains what it is to the blind man. The title is based on the cathedral but the story is about two men who have a problem seeing. In Franz Kafka’s story, "A Hunger Artist," a man, who the writer calls “Hunger Artist”, sets on a journey with his impresario from one town to the other and finds a public place to show his fasting skills. The man is locked up in a cage and he fasts for a period of forty days. During his fasting period, people are not attracted to his intensions but suspect that he is sneaking food. He is frustrated when the town people assign butchers to ensure that he feeds on nothing. The allow him to eat. Eventually, the manager sees that the man will die and feeds him forcefully. Later, the man dies. The cage was replaced with a panther that eats hungrily and attracts many people to it. The hunger artist is a symbol of how the world is. The artist represents the part of the world that needs attention from everyone. This joy-deprived man has set himself to live a life different from other people so that he can have a theme that will ignite...

...consumers are unaware that the sweet little puppy that peered hopefully at them from the pet store window or the enticing advertisement in the newspaper that offered a pure bred puppy for such a bargain often comes with a hidden catch – these puppies, and their abundance of health problems, may be coming from a puppy mill. Puppy mills are either operated in private homes, farms or underground run organizations where they are not easily monitored by animal control units. It’s a large-scale commercial, outside, breeding facility with many different breeds of dogs. Dogs are forced to breed continuously without any rest between cycles. Starting six months after the birth of a female dog, she is bred every heat cycle. Could you imagine being six months old and being forced to have babies?! Female dogs are constantly pregnant, and due to lack of veterinary care they become extremely weak, malnourished and dehydrated quickly. Once female dogs reach the age of four or five they get to the point where they cannot produce at the rate they use to. When this happens, breeders see no need for them anymore and simply dispose of them. If the female dog is lucky, the breeder will humanely euthanize her, meaning put her to sleep by a needle or drug; however most female dogs are shot to death. After killed...
