...One character in particular stands out, Mildred, Montag’s wife, she is very dependant on her digital family in the parlor. The parlor is a room in most people’s houses, with full walls of tv’s which interact with people She thinks and treats them like family, almost more than she treats her own husband. When Montag was sick he asked his wife to turn off the parlor because it was giving him a headache, and Mildred replied with, “That’s my family” (46). This shows that she would rather keep her “family” on and talk to them opposed to helping and talking to her sick husband. Some of Mildred's friends have kids and just like their parents the parlor will keep them busy when they’re not at school. “I plunk the children in school nine days out of ten. I put up with them when they come home three days a month; it's not bad at all. You heave them into the 'parlor' and turn the switch” (96). Technology is such an addicting thing...

...Summary Just about every dog will get worms at one time or another. Worms that infect dogs are roundworms, whip worms, hookworms, tapeworms and heartworms. Picture Canine roundworm 1 by Joel Mills CC BY-SA 3.0 781 Canine Roundworms The intestinal worm that infects dogs most often is the roundworm. The roundworm resembles a piece of cooked spaghetti.

Puppies will get roundworms from their mother's placenta if it is contaminated with roundworms. They can also get them when they nurse their mother if she is infected. Humans can get a roundworm infestation from dogs. Children will get infected more often than adults. An infestation...

...Tessa Childhood Encapsulated Mustard yellow walls encase the room. Walls that make the room seem devastatingly hot in the summer and just right in the winter. The yellow walls are complemented by blue accents throughout the room. A blue bedspread sprinkled with multicoloured flowers, like a cartoon field coating the double bed. Windows surround the bed bathing it in natural light, the windows are trimmed by shear blue curtains all the same shade with different patterns. Curtains that on cool fall days billow softly in the wind. Beside the bed is a small window with a door, into my sister’s room beside mine. The door is often open so that we can engage in late night chats, but is closed when our sleep schedules don’t quite match up. Beside the bed is a white side table topped with a lamp holding a bulb in need of replacing. On this dresser is a stack of Archie comics a retainer and a handful of rocks with images of crudely painted marine life from summers past....

...Every piece of property, every social interaction, every public space in the story’s California landscape is carefully marked off and delimited, broken into small individual spaces. To the residents of Arroyo Blanco, these boundaries almost limit the individual’s very sense of self. When Kyra loses her dog Sacheverell to the coyote, she takes the animal’s attack as a highly personal invasion of the sanctity of her space. Losing the dog is terrible, of course, but it becomes far worse when it happens within the fencedin boundary of the Mossbacher backyard. The violation of these boundaries (their home, state parks, Delaney’s car) terrifies Delaney and Kyra because each intrusion breaks down the firm boundaries of their private world. The idea...

...In “The Glass Castle” by Jeanette Walls, Rex and Rosemary Walls have a permissive relationship with their children, although they provide their children with the “basic needs” (Cherry, “The Four Styles of Parenting”). They are irresponsible parents and show “little communication” (Cherry) and in some cases are more supportive when they should be more cautious or stern with their children. Rosemary Walls is being an uninvolved mother by not monitoring Jeanette while she is cooking hot dogs instead she lets Jeanette make them herself and it leads to a bad conclusion. In the memoir “The Glass Castle” Jeanette says, “Then flames leaped up reaching my face” (9). If Rosemary was helping Jeanette cook the hot dogs she more than likely would have...

...seems to hold itself in the minds of most of the ranchers in the story. Their carelessness for the death of others reveals to us the lifestyle on the ranch, as well as the lifestyle of the bitter, rough Great Depression of the 1930s in America. While these deaths are insignificant to the men on the ranch, they hold major significance to the plot. Our introduction to these ideas on death amongst the ranchers starts with the death of Candy’s dog. This sheepdog was old and feeble, but was...

...first day. Now the only thing keeping you alive is your desperation to eat and drink your own waste and the will to survive. You are a dog left to die by its owners, with the thought that you are lower than humans and have no real importance or worth. I have always been an animal lover and it has always disgusted me to see an animal being mistreated. Even when I am watching a movie and an animal gets hurt I always cringe with sadness. I remember I had these neighbors; we were good friends with them. They always wanted to have a dog but either they never had the money to take care of a pet or they just did not know how. That never stopped them from constantly having a dog. I remember two specific dogs they had, one was a mixed bulldog, Daisy, and the other was a Jack Russell Terrier, Jack. Daisy was such a beautiful sweet dog, but the way she was treated was poor. If they did not have any dog food they would feed her cereal and milk. They also considered spraying her with a hose while she ran around in the backyard a bath. The worst thing that happened to her was that one day Daisy decided to climb their fence and she got her leg caught and was hurt. They didn’t have the money to get it checked so Daisy had a permanent limp. Later they realized Daisy was too much of a responsibility for them and without hesitation they just gave her away. The other dog Jack was full of energy. He was friendly, playful, but he wasn’t trained very well. They grew tired of having to...

...Nick Principe Mrs. Stansfield ENG 4U0 July 6, 2015 Imagery and Symbolism in Poems Poem #1: Where There’s a Wall by Joy Kogawa This poem evokes motivation and inspiration. The main message that I received from it is that, even when life puts an obstacle in front of you, you can always find a way to get your goal to the other side. The wall is a symbol that represents an obstacle in life that may prevent one from reaching what they desire. Literal imagery is used quite often in this poem. The writer composes a stanza that states that he/she is “standing” on one side of the wall, “staring at the top, lost in the clouds.” From this, we can imagine a person standing in front of a wall, mindlessly looking into the clouds. But the stanza continues, stating that they “hear every sound” one makes but “cannot see” them. This implies that this person is trying to get to another person on the other side of the wall, but can only hear their voice from behind the wall that stands between them. Figurative imagery is also slightly utilized in this poem, near its end. When the poem reads that “a voice cries faint as in a dream,” a simile is used, comparing a voice’s quiet sound to one you would hear while dreaming. This makes it easy for the reader to imagine how strong this wall is, blocking out so much sound that the heard voice is as faint as in a dream. Poem #2: Poem About Your Laugh by Susan Glickman This poem presents a lot of imagery, mostly figurative rather...

...the impact of these actions on the animals involved? Animals raised on modern factory farms and killed in slaughtered houses endure unimaginable suffering. I hope once you listen to what I have to say about the routine cruelty involved in raising, transporting, and killing animal for food you’ll join the millions of people to leave meat of their plate and prohibit the cruelty of animals. If slaughter houses had glass walls everyone would be vegetarian. In modern factory farms, animals are jam-packed by the thousands into grimy, enclosed sheds and restricted to wire cages, dirt lots, and other brutal confinement systems. These animals would never have the opportunity to raise their families, or do anything that is of their natural instincts. The majority would not even feel the sun’s rays or breathe fresh air until they are hoarded away on to trucks; headed for slaughtering. ‘Old Mc Donald had a farm’ is not as it once was. If slaughter houses had glass walls everyone would be vegetarian. Chickens have the ability to reason in some instances that are greater than dogs and children yet they are known to be treated the worst as they are forced to be crammed by the thousands and live in their own feces. They are bred to grow larger than normal at a quick rate that they get crippled over their own weight. They are packed into small cages which don’t allow them to do anything that’s normal. From lack of exercise their muscles become weak and their limbs are injured from the wired cages...

...Robert Frost is one of America’s most beloved poets, and "Mending Wall" is one of his most popular poems. This poem tells the tale of a rock wall which sits between two properties in the countryside. Something continually destroys this rock wall. A compelling aspect of "Mending Wall" is the Frostian sense of mystery and loneliness. What begins as a quest to discover the identity of the wall-destroyer, ends in a meditation on the value of tradition and boundaries. "Mending Wall" is the first poem in North of Boston, Frost’s second book of poetry. This book was published when Frost was in England, rubbing elbows with the likes of W.B. Yeats, T.S. Eliot, andEzra Pound. Frost was a contemporary of many modernist poetic movements, but he isn’t associated with any particular group of poets. He marched to his own drummer, and as a result, he garnered a good deal of criticism from the literary world. But, it is precisely because he was such an individual and his voice so original that Frost became so beloved. Born in San Francisco, Frost moved to Massachusetts at age eleven following his father’s death. He attended both Dartmouth College and Harvard University, but never earned a college degree. He was, however, often invited to teach at Dartmouth and Harvard later on in his life. You know you’re good when you get to teach college students without having a diploma yourself. After spending some time in England, Frost befriended a lot of poetic giants, including William Butler Yeats...
