...Josh Smith Dr. Tom Jones English 101 December 5, 2006 The Big Bad Wolf • Three little pigs dance in a circle singing "Who's afraid of the big, bad wolf?" • Little Red Riding Hood barely escapes the cunning advances of the ravenous wolf disguised as her grandmother. • Movie audiences shriek as a gentle young man is transformed before their eyes into a blood-thirsty werewolf, a symbol for centuries of the essence of evil. Such myths and legends have portrayed the wolf as a threat to human existence. Feared as cold-blooded killers, they were hated and persecuted. Wolves were not merely shot and killed; they were tortured as well. In what was believed to be a battle between good and evil, wolves were poisoned, drawn and quartered, doused with gasoline and set on fire, and, in some cases, left with their mouths wired shut to starve (Begley 53). Convinced that they were a problem to be solved, U.S. citizens gradually eradicated gray wolves from the lower 48 states over a period of 25 years. Today many people are convinced that the elimination of the gray wolf was not only an error, but also a detriment to the quality of life in this country. There has been a public outcry to rectify the situation created by the ignorance of our ancestors. However, in seeking to address a situation created by the human compulsion to control nature, it is crucial to discern how much human interference is necessary. Human control must be tempered by respect and restraint...

...SOMERSET PA (AP) -- A. Wolf took the stand today in his own defense. This shocked and stunned the media who predicted that he would not testify in the brutal double murder trial. A. Wolf is accused of killing (and eating) The First Little Pig, and The Second Little Pig. This criminal trial is expected to be followed by a civil trial to be brought by the surviving Third Little Pig. The case has been characterized as a media circus. His testimony is transcribed below: "Everybody knows the story of the Three Little Pigs. Or at least they think they do. But I'll let you in on a little secret. Nobody knows the real story, because nobody has ever heard my side of the story. I'm Alexander T. Wolf. You can call me Al. I don't know how this whole Big Bad Wolf thing got started, but it's all wrong. Maybe it's because of our diet. Hey, it's not my fault wolves eat cute little animals like bunnies and sheep and pigs. That's just the way we are. If cheeseburgers were cute, folks would probably think you were Big and Bad too. But like I was saying, the whole big bad wolf thing is all wrong. The real story is about a sneeze and a cup of sugar. THIS IS THE REAL STORY. Way back in Once Upon a Time time, I was making a birthday cake for my dear old granny. I had a terrible sneezing cold. I ran out of sugar. So I walked down the street to ask my neighbor for a cup of sugar. Now this neighbor was a pig. And he wasn't too bright either. He had built his whole house out of straw. Can you...

...trio set out on the road full of optimism. The first piglet met a man selling straw, he asked for some and set out to build a house. Enter the Big Bad wolf, who had his eye on the piglets. He went up to the first piglet’s house; he huffed and puffed and blew the house down. That was the end for little piggy. Next he went to the second piglet’s house, whose house was built from grass. This house was no match for the huffing and puffing wolf. Finally he came across the third piglet, who had built a house of bricks, and the wolf tried and tried but couldn’t do a thing to bring the house down. Undeterred, he tried a new course of action; he invited the piglet to come and pick turnips the next day. The piglet, however had sensed his ulterior motives and went early and got the turnips. The wolf was not done yet; he invited the piglet to go apple picking the next day. This time the wolf arrived early, but the piglet had gone earlier. The wolf trapped the pig up on the tree, but the piglet tossed an apple far from the wolf and fooled the wolf with this distraction. Next the wolf called the little pig to the fair, this time the wolf caught the pig as he returned from the fair. Thinking on his feet the pig got into a churner and rolled his way towards the wolf. The wolf let out a frightened yelp and ran away. In a final act of desperation the wolf tried to climb in through the pig’s chimney, but the pig had a hot boiling surprise in store for...

...write-down (by category, total, end category, etc.)? Does PIGS need to write-down inventory? PIGS has evidence that predicted futures prices for the months of October 2002 – January 2003 will fall below the cost of production for a hog. Where there is evidence that the utility of goods will be less than cost the difference is recognized in the current period (ASC 330-10-35-1). A write-down is generally required unless the decline is due to seasonal price fluctuations (ASC 330-10-55-2). Though, Farmer Joe believes this is just a seasonal fluctuation, there is not enough evidence in the case to support that claim. There are no examples of this happening in prior years. The one reason that is given for the price decrease is the capture of the Big Bad Wolf, which led to an increase in the supply of pork. This appears to be an unusual event that would not happen yearly and continually cause this price decrease. Though futures prices do show a recovery, even with the recovery there would still be a loss for the period. A loss shall be recognized when evidence indicates clearly that a loss has been sustained (ASC 330-10-35-4). The table of predicted futures prices shows clearly that cost is greater than market price from October to January and thus a...

...would you choose to be? In the short story, “The Story of the Three Little Pigs” there are three pigs that all try to protect themselves from the big bad wolf. They all make houses, out of different materials, to stop the wolf from eating them. The first two pigs build a weak house and get eaten by the big bad wolf. However, the third pig outsmarts the wolf so he doesn't get eaten. Eventually, the pig leads the wolf into a trap and the pig eats the wolf. Some might say the first pig is the most admirable or the second pig or the third. Out of all the three little pigs, the third pig is the most admirable. He was the most admirable...

...The Three Little Pigs Rewrite Once upon a time there was a wolf who loved doing good things for people. The only thing he loved more was his mother. One day she sat him down and told him that it’s time for him to move out and find a house and family for himself. So he packed up his stuff and moved out, but first he made sure to say goodbye to his mother, his father, and his grandma and grandpa. Somewhere else in the world the same thing was happening to 3 little piggies who are brothers. Their mom sent them out to go build a home and find a family. Later that day Great Good Wolf was walking on a tiny road through the forest when suddenly he heard someone scream “HELP” so he dropped his bags and ran towards the screams. When he got there...

...Three little pigs It's been three weeks since the big bad wolf has eaten my two brothers and I haven't had an opportunity to give them a proper burial because I fear the wolf is lurking out in the woods still. Some Days during my morning breakfast, I see a movement in trees, he's out there I know he is, lurking, looking, waiting for me to open my door and let my guard down. Sometimes at night i'll wake up to the sound of claws on my window “skrrreeek” (onomatopoeia). I quickly turn on my light look out the window but nothing was there. The only reason that the big bad wolf hasn't got me yet is because I have my strong brick house unlike my idiot brothers who hastily built houses of straw and twig. But lately I have gotten myself in a bit of hot water since I have built my home, I have been getting visited by some men in suits who say I need to get my home inspected to make sure it is up to date with some silly code, plus on top of that I have to start...

...of a story blocks our way of perceiving a event or action taken. There are many examples of how viewing stories from one side can change our perspective on it such as in children’s books, car accidents, and in the kony 2012 project. Every child has grown up reading both nonfiction and fiction childhood stories. Some with animals singing and others with people becoming a hero to save the day. One famous fiction children story is the story of the three little pigs and the big bad wolf. In most cases the story is told from the pig’s point of view of how the wolf ate two of his brothers and blew down their houses made of straw and wood. The wolf was seen as the antagonist between the two. When reading the book you only got one side of the full story and your perception was the same of the pigs, that the wolf was evil. But only recently have authors published books which tell the story from the wolfs point of view. Which helps you develop your own thoughts on how the event really took place. Based on the wolfs perception of the time of day, how it occurred, and the end result of the story of the three little pigs. In the U.S. there are approximately 6,500,000 car accidents per year, all of which involve two or more people. Based on how the accident happened and if there were any witnesses to the event. Affects rejection of a license, Prison time, and how much money you get/have to pay. So people will often lie and change the original story to protect themselves. So the court...

...I want to be the Sly Fox because although I think Goldilocks should be punished and is guilty I believe that the Big Bad Wolf lying to the people just for that reduced jail time is messed up and wrong. I also believe that the Big Bad Wolf is trying to make Goldilocks look bad for the things he did even if I think she should be punished and I also think that nobody should deserves to be punished for doing something somebody else did. There is even evidence that the Big Bad Wolf did it and I know that evidence and want to make it clear to everyone that the Wolf did this. My First reason for why you should choose me for the Sly Fox is that I know she did not do all the bad things that Wolf told everyone and I want to be the one to stand up and...

...stronger than a straw house. The third little pig built his house out of bricks. One night the big bad wolf, who dearly loved to eat fat little piggies, came along and saw the first little pig in his house of straw. He said "Let me in, Let me in, little pig or I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in!" "Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin", said the little pig. But of course the wolf did blow the house in and ate the first little pig. The wolf then came to the house of sticks. "Let me in ,Let me in little pig or I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in" "Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin", said the little pig. But the wolf blew that house in too, and ate the second little pig. The wolf then came to the house of bricks. " Let me in , let me in" cried the wolf "Or I'll huff and I'll puff till I blow your house in" "Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin" said the pigs. Well, the wolf huffed and puffed but he could not blow down that brick house. But the wolf was a sly old wolf and he climbed up on the roof to look for a way into the brick house. The little pig saw the wolf climb up on the roof and lit a roaring fire in the fireplace and placed on it a large kettle of water. When the wolf finally found the hole in the chimney he crawled down and KERSPLASH right into that kettle of water and that was the end of his troubles with the big bad wolf. The next day the little pig invited his mother over . She said "You see it is just as I told...
