(i.e chewing on things, breaking things, and not being obedient.) However they both seem to form a bond with their owner and come to have a very strong companionship with the owners. In Turner and Hooch, in the beginning Hooch wasn’t even Turner’s dog, Hooch was also protective, a watch dog who protects the home and those around him. Hooch is very rough and chews on everything he can find, an example of this is when Turner went to the store for dog food and left Hooch in the extra room, to which Hooch had run through the door and chewed on everything he could find as well as getting his drool

    The plantation system was an extremely barbaric institution, one that enhanced the cultural divide between whites and blacks and carved scars that could not be healed during Reconstruction. After centuries of receiving abuse and condescension from white men, blacks had a difficult time adjusting to life alongside them after the Civil War.

In their time on plantations, white masters had exercised every form of physical and psychological abuse, making a point of their apparent superiority. They referred to blacks in demeaning tones, comparing them to animals, while forcing them to work for the benefit of whites.…

    George Saunders’ “Puppy” and Toni Morrison’s “Recitatif” tell of two different stories with different characters in presumably different time periods. Both authors have drastically different backgrounds that bring them to these tales. However, their works of literature are more comparable than one would initially think. From the perspective of the reader, the intent of Puppy was to stress that there is often more to something than meets the eye and that because of this, we tend to want for things that we do not really understand. The families that appear in this story are perceived differently on the surface than they actually are underneath everything.…
