...Mr. Kleiman’s cat A) Characterize Mr. Kleinman: Mr. Kleinman is an old Jewish man, who lived in Germany in the 30’s. He now lives alone in England with very limited contact to neighbors and other people. The only passion he has is taking care of his cat Timmy, who he treats like a son. In Germany the SS took him and his family to Auschwitz. When they arrived they were separated and he never saw his wife and children again. This experience marked him for the rest of his life. He blames himself for it, because he had conscientiously filled in required forms and given the police details about his family. Now Mr. Kleinman doesn’t want to fill in more forms and has refused to register details about his condition with the authorities. This means that he is only allowed a small pension and doesn’t have a lot of money. He is so poor that he can’t afford things he actually needs in his daily life, as repairing the lock to the door. Mr. Kleinman is using glasses, but the glasses are not special made for him. If he would have had specially made glasses, he would have needed to fill in some forms. B) The themes in the story: There are a lot of themes in this story. 1) Loneliness as Mr. Kleinman lives alone with no other people apart from limited contact to his neighbor. 2) Affection as Mr. Kleinman treats his cat as his son. 3) Youth violence as Mr. Kleinman is being assaulted by two youth. 3) Physical stress caused by traumatic experiences. C) How does the story continue...

...Journey’s are an inevitable part of life. Whether it’s an internal or external experience, the outcome of the journey itself could always be beneficial for self-growth. In “The Story of an Hour,” Mrs. Mallard, the main character, gets the news that her husband had passed away from a railroad disaster. After she had heard the news, she went away to her room and began to stare out of the window and looked out into the new spring life. Her internal journey began when “she sat with her head thrown back upon the cushion of the chair quite motionless,” and that she felt that something was coming for her and she was sitting there waiting for it to come. “ She felt it, creeping out of the sky, reaching toward her through the sounds, the scents, the color that filled the air.” Mrs. Mallard abandoned herself and uttered words underneath her breath that she as “Free,” and she kept whispering “Free! Body and soul free!” It was like she was drinking in a elixir of life while the window was open. When she arose, she walked out her room and downstairs to see someone opening up the door, and there stood Spann 2 her husband. When Richards went to reach for Mrs. Mallard, he was too late. The doctors said “she had died of heart disease- of joy that kills.” (Barnet 23-24) In the story of “Young Goodman Brown,” Goodman Brown is not only taking an eternal journey but he is also taking an internal journey as well. a journey for one night, as begins his quest down...

...Hallett Mr. Dawson English Comp Fund 16 November 2001 Cats and Dogs This compare and contrast essay is for English composition, it will be on cats, and dogs, and The three points are going to be about; fur, hearing, and dogs being omnivorous, and cats being carnivores. Cats and dogs are at the top of the list for pets in the U.S. today. One can train dogs with a lot of time, and hard work, yet most cats are difficult or not trainable at all. Most dogs and cats have different lengths of hair, and they come in many colors, and lengths. They both have a strong sense of hearing, and a tremendous sense of smell. My family and I have owned many pets. We currently have two dogs, and two cats. Phoebe is a Yellow Lab with short blonde hair, and Lizzie is a Black Lab with short black hair. Most dogs shed, but there are some breeds that shed remarkably little, or not at all. Brushing a dog’s coat will cut down on the amount of hair on the furniture, and floors. We adopted our two cats from an animal shelter. Shockte has short white hair, and Izzy has long gray hair. Cats are easier to take care of than dogs due to their self-grooming habits; therefore, they do not need baths regularly. The only problem is they do get hairballs that can lead to health problems. There are three ways to rid a cat of a hairball; a bowel movement, regurgitation, or having them surgically removed. The more love and affection a pet gets, the more they are likely to give back. Cats and dogs...

...Sashay Schettler Mr. R English 120 12 September 2013 Fancy Feast’s New Flavor for Snakes: Tender Kitten Feast in Grilled Chicken Flavored Gravy We tend not to drive too deeply into subjects that pit our brains against our hearts, animal human relationships being one. While easy to overlook, these relationships play a big part in our day to day lives, and as I’ve learned not always in a good way. I found out firsthand, while reading Hal Herzog’s Some We love, Some We hate, Some We Eat: Why It’s So Hard to Think Straight About Animals, how hard it is to see a subject in a new light. I found myself torn between what I thought of as morally right and logically correct. The major argument being, is it morally ok to feed unwanted kittens to snakes? As I write this paper, I periodically glance at the picture I have of my fluffy grey cat Henry. Henry passed away when he had to be relocated to my aunt’s ranch, our house flooded in 2009 and our new condo didn’t allow pets. Now Henry had a cozy life with the Schettlers and on the ranch. Yet my aunt claims to this day, that he died of a broken heart. I, however sweet and sentimental the thought, argue that he died because my mom accidentally let him go a couple of turns in the dryer… Henry was always a fighter; I rescued him from the woods, out of a litter of two kittens he was the only survivor. His mother and sister did not make it out of the woods, but Henry wasn’t giving up that easily. After the tragic incidents...

...The Norwegian Rat by Naguib Mahfouz Fortunately we were not alone in this affliction. Mr. A.M., being the senior householder in the building, had invited us to a meeting in his flat for an exchange of opinions. There were not more than ten people present, including Mr. A.M., who, in addition to being the oldest among us, held the most senior position and was also the most well off. No one failed to show up--and how could they, seeing that it had to do with the rats and their likely invasion of our homes and their threat to our safety? Mr. A.M. began in a voice of great gravity with "As you all know..." and then set forth what the papers had been reiterating about the advance of the rats, their vast numbers, and the terrible destruction that would be wrought by them. Voices were raised around the room. "What is being said is quite beyond belief." "Have you seen the television coverage?" "They're not ordinary rats; they're even attacking cats and people." "Isn't it likely that things are a bit exaggerated?" "No...no, the facts are beyond any exaggeration." Then, calmly and with pride in being the chairman, Mr. A.M. said, "It has in any case been established that we are not alone. This has been confirmed to me by the Governor." "It's good to hear that." "So all we have to do is carry out instructions meticulously, both those that come directly through me and those that come by way of the authorities." "And will this cost us a great deal?" it occurred to one of us to inquire...

...countryside. The success of the film’s story owes much to its strong dramatic structure. Following the chronological order of events with Zhiqing and his family’s harmonious morning to the resulting tension after Zhiqing receives the letter from his mother, the film moves with a growing intensity toward the climax. The film’s major conflict between the urbanites and the countrymen is introduced almost right after Old Mrs. Hu and Chenshung (with his family as well) arrive, as Zhiqing and Youlan discuss about the possibility of their daughter getting lice from the dirty visitors. The director’s use of dramatic irony shines in this scene, as the camera focuses on Old Mrs. Hu’s glittering eyes in the dark, eavesdropping on the worried couple’s conversation. By highlighting the emerging internal familial division using lighting techniques, Fu successfully introduces future intense complications between Youlan and Old Mrs. Hu. Symbolism is another tool used by Fu to add to the dramatic structure of the film. Although overlooked by many film viewers, Zhiqing’s household cat serves as an important symbol for familial unity and manifests the ideological conflict between the urbanites and...

By reasoning we mean the mental process of drawing an inference from two or more statements or going from the inference to the statements, which yield that inference. B. So logical reasoning covers those types of questions, which imply drawing an inference from the problems. C. Logic means, if we take its original meaning, the science of valid reasoning. D.

In rejecting the functionalism in positivist organization theory, either wholly or partially, there is often a move towards a political model of organization theory. B.

...children (boy and girl) the grandmother and a stowaway cat. Upon reading about the Misfit escaping from Federal Pen and are in Florida the grandmother tried to change their destination. The grandmother is a manipulative, deceitful, and self-serving woman who lives in the past era of the south. She has the same prejudice attitudes of that time. The grandmother’s untruthfulness while on the trip will cause certain doom for the family and her Christian faith would be put to the test. The grandmother tries desperately to change her family's vacation destination as she tries to manipulate her son into going to Tennessee instead of Florida. Her reasons for wanting to go Tennessee were to make connections with some of her peers. The grandmother was also concerned about the children seeing Tennessee since they had already been to Florida. “The children have been to Florida before,” the old lady said. ”You all ought to take them somewhere else for a change so they would see different parts of the world and be broad. They never have been east to Tennessee”. The children made comments to the grandmother “If you don’t want to go to Florida, why dontcha stay home?” The grandmother asked what you would do if the Misfit caught you. “I’d smack his face,” said the boy. The grandmother is about to do a deceitful thing. She knew her son didn’t want to take a cat to a motel. So the grandmother’s only thought was to bring the cat on the trip and hid it from the others. The logic behind...

...Mrs. Newton English 102 24 April 2007 The Facts of Life One widely spread allegory comes to mind when considering the unrelenting pet overpopulation problem. The tale is the story about a group of friends having a picnic on a riverbank. Suddenly, the group hears the sound of crying and looks up, shocked to see a baby floating helplessly in the river. They immediately dive in to rescue the drowning baby. To their horror, the group notices another baby floating towards them. They rush to save that baby, but no sooner is that baby pulled to safety; they see another baby floating. By this time a vicious cycle has started and soon the river is full of drowning babies. Again and again, the group dives into the river, trying to save the seemingly endless flow of drowning babies. One of the people gets out of the river and begins running upstream. A friend shouts “Where are you going?” “I’m going to find out who is throwing the babies into the river and make them stop!” the heroic man yells back, as he runs upstream. The homeless animal problem is very similar to this fable. Animal shelters and rescue groups try hard to save the homeless animals in the “river”. However, this will never solve the problem. Millions of dogs and cats are killed annually as the result of unwanted, unplanned litters that could have been prevented by spaying and neutering. According to the...

...home after the previous governess died. Douglas begins to read from the written record, and the story shifts to the governess’s point of view as she narrates her strange experience. The governess begins her story with her first day at Bly, the country home, where she meets Flora and a maid named Mrs. Grose. The governess is nervous but feels relieved by Flora’s beauty and charm. The next day she receives a letter from her employer, which contains a letter from Miles’s headmaster saying that Miles cannot return to school. The letter does not specify what Miles has done to deserve expulsion, and, alarmed, the governess questions Mrs. Grose about it. Mrs. Grose admits that Miles has on occasion been bad, but only in the ways boys ought to be. The governess is reassured as she drives to meet Miles. One evening, as the governess strolls around the grounds, she sees a strange man in a tower of the house and exchanges an intense stare with him. She says nothing to Mrs. Grose. Later, she catches the same man glaring into the dining-room window, and she rushes outside to investigate. The man is gone, and the governess looks into the window from outside. Her image in the window frightens Mrs. Grose, who has just walked into the room....

...character? To what extent is her final protest justified? How do the other characters portray themselves by their attitudes toward the ritual? Mrs. Tess Hutchinson stands out right from the start: she arrives at the lottery late. She explains to Mr. Summers that she was doing her dishes and forgot what day it was. The town treats her lateness lightly, but several people comment on it, “in voices just loud enough to be heard across the crowd, ‘Here comes your Missus, Hutchinson,’ and ‘ Bill, she made it after all.’” (Jackson 501). It is ironic that she is the one who wins the lottery, and is fated to be stoned. So Tess Hutchinson has already been noticed by people as one who is not entirely part of the group. Before the drawing she is friendly with the other women, pretending to be pleased to be present. The very moment that she sees is her family that draws the black dot, though, her egotism is evident. “You didn’t give him time enough to take any paper he wanted. I saw you. It wasn’t fair!” (Jackson 504). She continues to scream about the unfairness of the ritual up until her stoning. Mrs. Hutchinson knew the lottery was wrong, but she never did anything about it. She pretends as much as she could to enjoy it, when she truly hated it all along. Maybe Jackson is suggesting that the more hypocritical one is, the more of a target they are. Mrs. Hutchinson was clearly the target of her fears. I think sometimes we have no problem remarking on people’s adultery until it is ourselves that...
