Analysis Of The Dr. Kitty Story

Improved Essays
Hi Lena, I have been following the Dr. Kitty story since the first police reports were released.
Although I view the examples you presented as evidence of the author interjecting their opinion within their story, I found it scarce. I interpreted the use of unfortunate patient as a means to communicate that the patient was dealing with consequences they may not have been entirely aware of. It is not clear in the article whether the patient understood that Dr. Kitty was unlicensed. Furthermore, there are licensed cosmetologists who perform within their own basements (they place certificates on their walls), and have a long list of regular clientele. It would be interesting to know whether Dr. Kitty had false credentials printed and placed in

    Morgan’s narrative in her piece approaches death, something that traditional taxidermy avoids. This is so that the death of the taxidermied animal is not in the forefront of the viewer’s mind. Instead, traditional taxidermists, such as Akeley and Potter, approach life through lively content and visuals. Potter approaches human qualities of life through anthropomorphic kittens lined up for a wedding, an event that humans consider the “beginning of a new life.” His diorama “The Kitten Wedding,” is an anthropomorphic scene of a kitten wedding; a bride and groom stand toward one end of the rectangular diorama as a pastor stands in front of them watching the groom place a gold band around the bride’s finger (paw).…

    n conclusion, the trickster tales,“How Stories Came to Earth,” “Coyote Steals Fire,” and “Master Cat: Puss in Boots” all exhibit anthropomorphism, through the tricksters who try to change their lifestyle by accomplishing their objective and the tales differ by having, “How Stores Came to Earth” and “Coyote Steals Fire” show a positive impact that benefits society, while in “Master Cat: Puss in Boots” the outcome of the trick benefits only the protagonist and lastly, as opposed to “Master Cat: Puss in Boots”, in the other two stories no characters die.

    I decided to write about when I tried persuading my boyfriend to get a cat. We had lived together for over a year and I felt there was something missing. Our apartment complex did not allow dogs and that is all he wanted was a dog. He is actually allergic to cats, so you can imagine how difficult this was. At first I was always bringing it up and explaining to him that cats are easy to take care of, they love you unconditionally, and they are very entertaining.…

    Choices in A Modern First World Society Agency is the ability to have a choice to make and the way one acts upon that choice. So, it is being presented with a decision and carrying out that decision in a way that one deems fit. According to Jean Paul Sartre, he states that each decision one makes or does not make is still a choice that reveals an aspect of oneself to the rest of society. He links a relationship between agency and choices. The Bystander Apathy Experiment depicts conformity and the pressures from our peers as one makes a choice.…

    Mars Borges Literacy narrative My first comic I fell in love with was Baby Mouse— a sassy elementary schooler going through the ups and downs of early public education. She was funny, the stories were fun, but more importantly, I loved the look of the books. Every comic had a limited color palette of black, white, and pink, which I found to be the coolest thing. The speech bubbles were distinguished, the text had a unique font, the art was cute— sometimes I didn’t even need to read it, just looking through the book was so satisfying. Baby Mouse was the only comic I owned as a child, having a good 5 to 10 of those books.…
