Beastiality And Zoophili Personal Narrative Analysis

Improved Essays
Without delay, Francine Prose’s Hansel and Gretel adaptation caught me off-guard and drew me with an extraordinary introduction sentence. Many questions popped into my head as I finished reading that line and I had to go online to find the answers, dealing if having sex with an animal is illegal. I need a stronger word to describe how I felt about the information I uncovered about Beastiality/Zoophilia because disturbed doesn’t cut it. After reading the information, I sat there with my jaw hanging open; maybe it’s because of how my parents raised me, but I may love my cat yet doing anything sexual with her doesn’t make sense to me. Anyway, to escape that uncomfortable discussion, as soon as I read Lucia’s cat is black, I thought, “Lucia is

    Ankerman talks a lot about about their life and the animals in the zoo, there is not as much about the war itself that I wished but other than that it was a great read. Ackerman is a great writer and she has a mass of great scientific knowledge about the animal kingdom, which makes her ability to relate to this story of “The Zookeeper's Wife.” Her ability to create a very poetic, emotional and a vulnerable book is very clear: “...war plays havoc with sensory memories as the sheer intensity of each moment, the roiling adrenaline and fast pulse, drive memories in deeper, embed every small detail, and make events unforgettable. While that can strengthen friendship or love, it can also taint sensory treasures like music. By associating any…

    I think you guys deserve to know I'm not going to finish that story. I'm more used to write adventure stories with lots of stuff happening and many POV and I thought I could make something interesting with my psychological re-writing of Gorilla Warfare, but this didn't seem to be the case. Not sure if it's because of the writing or because there's already been way too many fiction written about that episode. Either way, it was incredible difficult first two chapters to write and since I'm not seeing much support, I'll stop beating the dead horse.…

    "Give people what they want" is Olivia/Madame Lulu’s moto and main point in the ninth installment of the A Series of Unfortunate events, The Carnivorous Carnival. While the Baudelaires disagree with Olivia's saying, the rest of the carnival is all about it; two passionate people that support this quote include Madame Lulu herself and Hugo. In my opinion, the Baudelaires are right, people should be able to stand up for themselves and not listen to the people because what the people want could be too demanding for you. In many parts of the book, Hugo is often considered the leader of the freaks, a group of weird people who are either deformed or can do un-normal things.…

    Angela Carter’s interpretation of the fairytale “The Little Red Riding Hood”, The company of Wolves, explores the realms of sexuality in both men and women. Carter illustrates the evil, sexual nature of men through wolves and twists the roles of sexuality of women, often depicted as sacrificial and inferior. Out of all the “perils of the night and forest,” wolves are deemed the worst creatures in existence for their continuous lust of sexuality and their abilities to manipulate their prey. The werewolves are the worst because of their cunning nature and ability to transform into men. The state of a werewolf embodies the nature of a beast within a human and the young protagonist in the story, represents the brink of loss in the innocence of a child turning into a woman.…

    Turkle states that children learn to shift from a psychology of projection to engagement with their Furbies because they understand that, “You have to continually assess your Furby’s ‘emotional’ and ‘physical’ state” (Turkle, 470). Children come to see more than just the physical toy characteristics of the Furby because the Furby makes it seem that it requires the care of the children for its advancement. Since children view these dynamic characteristics of the Furby as those of a living being, they form the misconception that the Furby is in fact a living thing. Turkle talks about her studies on the interactions children have with Furbies as Daisy, a child in her study, says “‘You have to teach it; when you buy it, that is your job. It’s alive, I teach it about whales; it loves me.’”…
