...guideline to go by when they sentence someone to a certain punishment. Also like law enforcement, they sometimes go outside those guidelines to accomplish a certain goal. The animal cruelty charge for instance has a sentence of three months in jail but if it is a repeat offender, it can go higher. A judge in Baltimore went outside the guidelines because of the suspect behavior and the sheer disregard for life. This judge has stirred up some controversy with his decision. Was the judge right to sentence this Baltimore cop outside the guidelines while assaults against humans get an insignificant punishment? Montgomery County Judge Richard E. Jordan sentenced a Baltimore Police Officer Alec Taylor to a year in jail for an animal cruelty charge because he was disgusted by the actions of the officer. Police are supposed to held to a higher standard since they are a public servant and swore to protect life. Officer Taylor assaulted “Rocko,” a Jack Russell with a mop and then strangled the dog until he was not breathing. The controversy over this decision brought up in the article is how did Taylor get a year when another officer is suspended with pay for beating a man near a bus stop? Some people think that the some punishments are too lenient on criminals that choose to harm another person and get to go home at the end of the trial. In this case, I agree with the judge but at the same time, I also agree with the controversy. I think that the punishments for animal cruelty are too lenient...

...can not fathom is animal testing. Animal testing is one issue I wish I could solve, for many reasons. Animals deserve rights, even though they can’t speak. The ways animal testing is conducted is not humane. There are better means to test products. All these factors play a part in why I believe animal testing should come to an end. Every human being is born with the desire to have rights. Those rights can consist of speech, choice, or rights as simple as choosing your classes. When an aspect of those rights is taken away we voice our opinions. Thousands of animals are mistreated, killed, or severely injured just like people all over the world. The only difference is that they can’t voice their opinions. They can’t stand up and claim the rights they deserve. It’s our responsibility to provide help to the animals that have to suffer in laboratories....

...1. Look for literary genres and give at least one example in each. Chamber theatre is a method of adapting literary works to the stage using a maximal amount of the work's original text and often minimal and suggestive settings. In Chamber Theater, narration is included in the performed text and the narrator might be played by multiple actors . Examples: * David Edgar's The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, in which Charles Dickens' characters narrate themselves in third person. Set pieces are carried in and taken away during the performance, rather than between scenes, and objects may be represented in a mimetic manner. * Matthew Spangler's stage adaptation of Khaled Hosseini's novel The Kite Runner. Readers Theatre or Reader's Theater is a style of theater in which the actors do or do not memorize their lines. Actors use only vocal expression to help the audience understand the story rather than visual storytelling such as sets, costumes, intricate blocking, and movement. Examples: * A Little Excitement by Marc Harshman * Chicken Big by Michelle Mayo 2. Make sample lesson plan using 2C2IA, four pronged approached and K to 12 approach. Lesson Plan in English IV (2C2IA) I. Objectives: 1. Infer the mood of certain events through the speaker’s action, intentions and utterances 2. Use the present perfect tense with for and since 3.

...The Superior Race Prciliana A. Gonzalez Communications 172 March 10, 2012 David Kindman University of Phoenix The Superior Race Animals have ruled the earth far longer than humans. Some even believe that humans actually evolved from animals. Since humans have been created, they have become advanced and superior to the animals. To many people, this change in roles is uncertain. However, humans are superior to animals because of their advanced communication skills, their mind, and the curiosity that only humans have. Humans Communication Skills Animals have been here longer than humans, but humans’ advanced communication skills prove to make them superior to animals. Steven Pinker (1994) explained the human’s capability when he wrote, “The first is that each one of us is capable of producing new sentences never before uttered in the history of the universe.”(Para. 1). This quote is explaining how humans are the only creatures on earth to introduce new forms of communication. They have the power to create new words and express feelings through these words. Having the ability to express feeling through communication is a powerful thing. It takes great creativity to detach oneself from their surroundings to see the irony in the meaning of the words. Humans are able to produce communication, but what makes them special are the different ways they communicate. In today’s society, people use five basic forms to communicate. First they use body language as a way of communication...

...Introduction Human infants are genius. That necessarily doesn’t mean that every child can paint like Piacasso, compose like Yanni , or score 9 on an IELTS test. Instead it means every child is born with qualities that are included in a genius. Curiosity, spontaneity, liveliness, and wonder are some of the qualities inherited by every single human infant. The structure of the brain of a baby is different from that of an adult and has twice as many brain connections as an adult. Babies are capable of formulating their own native language, which involves usage of different symbols, without any formal assistance. Creativity, sensitivity and imaginations are some of the key extracts of a child’s personality. These youthful traits are highly valued from an evolutionary perspective: the more species evolve, the more they carry youthful traits into adulthood (a process called "neotony" or "holding youth"). It is imperative that we, as educators and parents, help preserve these genius characteristics of children as they mature into adulthood, so those capacities can be made available to the broader culture at a time of incredible change. Language is defined as “Any code employing signs, symbols, or gestures used for communicating ideas meaningfully between human beings”. There are three language acquisition theories by Skinner (Behavioristic) Infant learn by imitation and have no prior knowledge of language, Chomsky (Nativistic or psycholinguistic)Child is prewired for language development...

...Analysis of ted hughes poetry, and his life work. Along with sylvia plath's The Issues that Happened behind Poetries in Contemporary Era In this scientific work, I want to analyze four poems in the contemporary era. The works are: The seven sorrows condensed from Ted Hughes, at grass by Philip Larkin, September 1913 and the stolen child by William Butler Yeats. The four poetries that appeared in the 20th Century, From the beginning of 20th Century like William Butler Yeats till the middle of 20th Century like Ted Hughes and Philip Larkin. As we know that William Butler Yeats’s poetries existed in the First World War at that time, poets did a lot of experiments in writing their literary works. They concentrated more on technique in writing their literary works. Meanwhile, Philip Larkin and Ted Hughes created poem the World War II, whereas nowadays, poets, do not focus on confusing technique but more at content and meaning that is easier to be understood by the readers. Now, I want to analyze symbol in the poem related with the issue that happens to the real fact or the real situation at that time. Now, I want to analyze a poem titled “The Seven Sorrows” written by Ted Hughes. We can see from the first stanza namely, the word “autumn”, this word symbolizes sadness, probably sadness that is felt by the writer. In that stanza, I found a phrase “a brown poppy head”. This phrase symbolizes something that long drawn out that has not disappointed from...

...God …” is what I heard as I stopped just to see my mother stand there in utter shock looking towards a piece of paper in her hand. “What’s that?” I asked confused. I see tears roll down from her eyes but still no words. Eager to find out, I asked again. But before I could even finish my sentence, she managed to say, “He’s dead.” No words could express how I felt at that moment. I never knew how much I loved him until he was gone. I never knew that his death would affect me like it did. But at the same time it helped me figure out my future and where I wanted to take it. While growing up, I never even thought twice about what I wanted to be. I never had any special interests that stuck out to me. What I hadn’t noticed is that I had a deep fascination with animals of any kind. My mother soon realized my love for animals and ended up filling our house with small animals. We started off occasionally taking care of our neighbor’s dogs, then soon enough my mom had gotten our first kitten lucky; I grew to love animals even more. My only dilemma growing up was that certain people had different opinions . I remember as a child being asked by one of my dad’s friends the famous question every kid had been asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I replied with excitement, “A veterinarian!” He gave me a quizzical look than begin to haunt me with words that made me even regret my dreams of becoming a vet. “That career will get you nowhere in life.

...of the allegorical fable, ‘Animal Farm,’ written by George Orwell in 1945, the first paragraph presents an attractive welcome into the satirical masterpiece. In spirit to augment the trending prospects of the schools of thought and the political ideologies, the author settles on animal characters to help present his views in the catchy story. Old Major is the twelve-year-old boar, the most respected animal, and the major character in the chapter. He enjoys the loyalty of the other animals, especially their regular assembly for his custom speeches. Indeed, the allegiance is not with respect to age alone, but mainly the ability to hold the audience and grab their attention amid profound linguistic skills. It is equally significant to comprehend that the primary reason for the speech was to persuade his “comrades” to understand the need to rebel against humans. It was, therefore, his obligation to possess the full attention of the audience throughout the session. Hence, this paper uncovers fundamental language concepts that he employed in his speech to keep the listeners’ attention glued to him. Indeed, Old Major’s listeners would follow every sentence of his address due to the outstanding oratory and persuasive techniques he employs in almost each of them. The techniques involves the use of emotional language, repetitions, hyperboles, rhetorics and mutually imperative phrases. To start with, he repeatedly uses the language of emotions in his sentences. For instance, “…and to the...
