...Artifact Analysis For this week’s Artifact Analysis, I have chosen the “George Washington family portrait,” In this portrait, everyone is well dressed and gathered at a table. The people included appears to be George Washington himself, followed by his wife, kids, and an African American man. Right off the bat, I am assuming that this man is their house slave. While it’s obvious that this man isn’t related to George Washington by any bloodline, it’s interesting for him to be included in this family portrait. In my eyes, this man represents the family dog or pet to be exact. Usually, when a family owns a pet, they most definitely consider them to be part of the family. They include them in pictures, as such, and would not want them to be deceased...

...Divorce Time to Say Goodbye When it comes to breaking-up and ending a relationship, the song by The Manhattans released in 1976 says it best “Let’s Just Kiss and Say Goodbye”. The song has deep and meaningful words, even though it is about a man ending his side relationship with his lover, it holds true for any relationship that is ending, especially a marriage. There are several reasons why people decide to dissolve their marriage. No matter, how they arrived at the decision, the end result not only affects them but it will affect the children, pets, family, and friends. They must determine the best way to inform their loved ones about the dissolution of the marriage. They must also decide who will have custody of the children and pets. When a man or woman is fed up with their spouse mishandling of finances, lack of communication and unfaithfulness; they feel divorce is the best solution. Money is a touchy topic regardless of the situation but there are several reasons why people may mishandle their finances. Although, the reasons may vary, some couples divorce over finances because of bad investments, addictions, and lack of maturity. A person should never invest their money into anything without a lack of understanding because when something sounds too good to be true it usually is and the damage it does cannot be changed. Addictions are no longer limited to drugs and alcohol; gambling and porn is on the rise as well. Gambling and purchasing porn can...

...loved to play with dogs. My interest in dogs truly started when my older brother started working for a pet store near or school. Everyday after school I would have to wait at the pet store for my mom to pick me up after work since I wasn't old enough to stay home by myself. I hated it at first because I wanted to be at home. Then one day my brother had asked me if I wanted to see the animals. So, we went around the store meeting all the friendly animals and staring at the others in their habitat. When I thought we were done my brother looked at me and said " I save the best for last". I was confused, what could be better than a cute rabbit. He took me into the back where only workers were allowed. There in rather large pin were 7 adorable, yellow puppys. They...

...ambiguousness. In the painting we see; a sharply dressed man looking down in (what I assume is) a menu, a nicely dressed woman looking at the man, both are sitting down at a table. We also see; a man in a tuxedo (I assume he’s a waiter), some sort of black pet, presumably a dog, yellow and pink flowers. On the table, there are; orange flowers, a small plate in front of the man, a knife and some sort of a goblet? In the background, to the left, we can see an old man, though only his head and hand, since he is behind some sort of green roof support pillar. In the background to the left we see various liquors. The table, the woman, the man, the pet and the flowers are in the foreground well lit, but as for the background it’s very obscure and barely lit at all. The woman looking at the man could suggest that they’re currently on a date, though seemingly an awkward one, since the man and the waiter is looking down. The woman’s look seems eager yet displeased. Her arms are on the table, making her interest in him more prominent. Her cheeks are red, so either she is blushing and/or wearing make-up. The latter seems likely, since her skin is incredibly pale, and her lips are red. That and the clothes suggest that she is a part of the upper-class and her white gloves may be a sign of refinement and/or disdain of bacteria, dirt and filth. The man is wearing a brown suit with a brown bowler hat, which is quite Victorian/Edwardian-esque. The man look show disinterest in his...

...truth: they were not going to die but become smart by eating the fruit of the tree of life. Obviously, the God didn’t want human being as powerful as him. Just by seeing what he said after he knew Adam and Eve had eaten the life fruit “Then the Lord God said, ‘See, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever’” The evidence above makes us confuse about the God. If the god didn’t like human why he create it? If he like human, why he punish them so seriously just by a small mistake? The only answer I can imagine is that the God consider human being as his pet. A pet mostly love its master unconditionally. The God feel lonely and what a pet, but he didn’t want the pet as smart as him so that to lost control of it. And the pet is not adorable at all if it become as smart as its master. So, did the God love human being? I think yes, the God love human being as same as the human being loves their dogs. *There are two more questions that are interesting. I want bring these two question to our class. Why did the serpent know the secret of the tree of life? “Then the Lord God said, ‘See, the man has...

Poe’s best know fiction works are Gothics, a genre his mostly wrote to appease the public taste. He often chose dark themes for his works, included questions about death, decomposing of bodies, premature burial, mourning, and necromancy. All of these elements are in the black cat.

Burmese pythons are fun pets to have, however when they grow to a massive 20 feet on occasion they put everyone and everything at risk. First off, overpopulation of the pythons has a very negative impact on the environment. The author suggests that burmese pythons can lay up to 60 eggs and if they all survive that is another 60 more unwanted attention from these gigantic snakes, which of course does not help problem.The reason they are all here is because of pet trade.So it is our fault they are here it is a man made problem that we need to fix.

...Lisa Tellor-Kelley ENG 170 29 September 2015 Animal Rights “What is man without the beast? If the beast was gone, man would die from great loneliness of spirit. For whatever happens to the beast soon happens to the man” (Chief Seattle) Many things have been done to protect animals, but there are more significant things to be done to make sure they do not become extinct and give them their rights. Animals are just like humans in many ways. They have nerves so when they are being tested on they can feel the pain that is being inflicted on them. Many people consider their pet as their child, so what child would want that kind of pain inflicted on them? Finally, in different parts of the world, people still hunt animals. It is no longer a way to get food like it used to be. Now it is just for pure sport or fun. Should animals have to be hunted down and torn apart while still alive? Dogs, cattle, sheep, monkeys and other small animals are mainly the ones being experimented on. They are tested on numerous times throughout each year. Acute toxicity, skin irritation, psychology research are a few tests that the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals or PETA listed. Acute toxicity is a test where animals are force fed chemicals to find out the lethal dosage. Skin irritation tests are when chemicals are placed on the bare skin of animals, which the animal is restrained. Pointless test like the effects of shocking and drug abuse are known as psychology research test. Animals...

...Instructor Jenny Corey-Gruenes ENGL 0960 February 28th, 2014 Essay 1 Pets are important to people for several reasons. The first reason that I can think of is that they are very therapeutic to people with many different disabilities. Some examples are being blind, depression, in a wheelchair, and deaf these are just some of the big disabilities that I can think of. I have always thought that having a pet makes people happy whether you have a disability or not. Most people own pets because they want to or their kids want to and parents want to make the kids happy. Pets are really a mans best friend because they are there when you need them the most and you can tell them anything and they will never tell anyone. Pets are important because it helps make a home a home. I can personally say from my experience that having a pet is helpful. I had a little dog and I loved him more then anything in the world. My dog Harley was always waiting for me at the door when I came home, he was always wanting to play or just sit on my lap and have me pet him. Harley really helped me when I was in the deepest part of my life and I will always have a place in my heart for pets because my dog saved my life. Animals always have a way to comfort people and a lot of times the owners never realize it. Pets are the best things in the world because they are around for many different purposes I don’t even know all the ways that pets are useful for. I don’t think I would ever go to the extreme that this...

...showing the bond of man and his oldest companion, the dog. Ancient burial sites displayed evidence of human love for their dogs. Canine skeletal remains, were often seen with their human remains. Many ancient graves were found to have dogs buried alongside their human, with treats, providing them with a little something to snack on in the afterlife. This evidence proves man’s best friend is not a 20th century ideal, but can be traced back thousands of years. (Lobell, J. A., & Powell, E. 2010) I have such a love for dogs, and am the proud owner of 6 rescue dogs, ages one to seventeen. I had a dog as a child, and she started the love story that I have today with my canine partners. I believe this is God’s second best creation, (behind man) and at times, I feel they are His best. I adopted my first dog from the ASPCA in New York City. Micky was an abused Poodle mix, and became my first dogs as an adult. I always loved dogs, but after adopting Micky, I became an advocate for rescue, and adoption. My life was forever changed. The sad statistics show close to 2.7million cats and dogs are killed each year in our animal shelters across the US. Many people have found it necessary to surrender their pets when faced with economic stressors such as unemployment, and home foreclosures. Many apartments will not allow pets, or place restrictions on the breed, or the size of the dog. Owners are therefore forced to make a decision between their financial situation, and pet owner responsibility...

...Thirteen Hundred Rats by T. Coraghessan Boyle is a short story about a widower, who keeps rats as pets. The main character of the book Gerard Loomis has never had any pet but the tragic event in his life, the death of his wife, urges him to have a pet and he chooses comfort in rats. In this story, it is quite symbolic that after the death of his wife, he chooses rats as his pets because the author develops the metaphor that in a way, evokes the comparison between Gerard’s wife, who has just died, and rats, who have become a sort of her substitutes, because Gerard decided to keep them as his new companions. In this sense, it is particularly interesting that Gerard, who has never had pets, chooses the snake first, which may be another metaphoric reference to his wife, but he ultimately failed to keep snake as a pet and preferred rats....

... Throughout the play Nora carries out certain acts of behavior that wouldn’t be considered heroic on the surface but underneath they would. Throughout the play Nora is treated like Torvald’s pet or property not his wife, he looks at her as nothing more than a belonging. Nora is the “doll” wife of Torvald meaning she is just playing a roll and has no say. Little does he know she is actually caring, independent, and brave not just a pet. In the first act when the audience is first introduced to Nora you get the illusion that she is a perfect wife and the only problem she has is spending her husband’s money by shopping a lot. By giving the image of her being a perfect wife it is comparing her to a doll, because dolls have no flaws. As Nora and Torvalds dialogue proceeds you get the sense that Nora is viewed as a pet to Torvald. He calls her pet names such as “his little lark”, “squirrel”, “spendthrift”, and “sweet tooth” (Ibsen 1281-1283). In Torvalds eyes Nora is not viewed as his equal but his property. By Torvald talking to Nora like this he is degrading her. Also in the first act it is revealed that Nora has made some arrangements to keep the household afloat without informing Torvald. Nora lied to her husband not because she wanted to but because she had too. Torvald is a typical man of the 1800th century. Men during those days took pride in being the stronghold and ruler of their households. It was also extremely rare for women to be independent or contributing financially...
