Book Report On Jackie's Wild Seattle

Improved Essays
If you want an adventurous book with many different twists and turns, then this is the book for you. I read the book Jackie’s Wild Seattle by Will Hobbs. It is a fiction book that contains precisely 200 pages. This book is about two kids, Shannon and Cody, who have to stay with their strange uncle in Seattle because their parents are working in refugee camps overseas.
This book starts off with Shannon and Cody getting sent to Seattle on a plane. When they first saw their uncle Neal, they were pretty freaked out because of the way he looked and acted. They eventually got use to him, luckily. Uncle Neal drives an ambulance for an animal rescue center. Shannon and Cody finally convince Uncle Neal to take them on his nine week trip looking for animals. This trip was full of crazy and wild adventures.

For example, when Shannon was in the elevator with the coyote and said, “How long I’d been in there, I had no idea. The coyote’s head had been down on its paws for some time now. Its ears were relaxed. I had a feeling it trusted me. It knew I’d come to help it, not hurt it. Animal intelligence.” This shows that we don’t need to be scared of something like a coyote because they even have a soft side. It let her pick it up and definitely trusted her. One more example is when Shannon, Cody, and some friends were cleaning out cages and just playing with their dog Sage when it says,” Sage’s ears went straight up, and she looked from Cody to me, and me back to Cody. From her nose to the tip of her tail, Sage was suddenly a live wire. She looked doubtfully at Cody, as if it couldn’t be true that he knew the code word.” This shows the relationship they had with their animals because the animals even knew the codes and signals they used. Animals are amazing like that and it’s way cool to see them grow up and get to that

    In Rewilding Our Hearts by Marc Bekoff (2014), he addresses how humans can change their ways to contribute to the restoration of environments damaged by human action or lack thereof. He argues that though there has been a paradigm shift in the ways in which we perceive animals has changed through beginning to see non-human animals as sentient beings (Bekoff 2014, pg. 1), there is still more change that people must become more involved with. And that is to save the ecosystems and provide protection for non-human animals and the environments they live in. Bekoff (2014) presents numerous factors in how we can contribute to a successful rewilding process such as compassion (pg. 4). Douglas’ (2015) also mentions compassion in his list of steps in how to transform society.…

    There is the old saying, “You do not know what someone else is going through, until you have walked in their shoes.” With Cristina Henriquez’s book, “The Book of Unknown Americans,” I felt I was as close to experiencing what the characters were going through without actually being in their shoes. Henriquez did a great job of adding details and twists while getting you emotionally attached to the characters. From the beginning I was drawn to the characters in “The Book of Unknown Americans.”…

    The story demonstrates how the relationship between individuals and the pack grows incrementally divergent, and how the language as an embodiment of human intelligence stratifies the pack hierarchy and complicates the dogs’ communication to the humans. In the story “Fifteen Dogs”, the author André Alexis frequently uses personification and anthropomorphism to vivify the dogs’ behavior. The attitude towards the introduction diverges as some of the dogs do not like it, while the other dogs like it and they want to continue living with it. After the exiles and conspired murders, the dogs within the remaining group led by Atticus’s hierarchy are in relationship of domination.…

    These provided girls with a romantic ideal which McRobbie discusses in her analysis of the magazine, McRobbie believes that young girls are conditioned to seek romantic based relationships instead of sexual ones and that romantic stories like the ones that featured in Jackie and other magazines aimed at teenaged girls at the time helped to reinforce this. Again, these can seem comically clichéd and dated by the standards of today. In fact, one of the reasons that Jackie may have regained popularity is that this style of article, although probably reasonable at the time written, seem almost laughable and maybe also politically incorrect by today’s standards (for example one article featured in The Best of Jackie Annual on ways how to attract boys suggests that a girl should try sitting on a park bench “looking tearful”, and a fashion feature refers to plus sized girls as “fatties” and very slim girls as being “stick like”). To many people in 2012, these almost seem like satire.…

    Sara D'Esposito Professor Mary Pollock JSEM Essay 2 17 October 2017 The Relationship Between Animal and Man The article "Why Look At Animals" by John Berger is very engrossing in a way that it grabs the attention of the reader and brings one such thought. In the article, Berger thoroughly studies the gap between a man depending on an animal. He argues that humans have moved to a higher position above animals, and explains that this is because we as humans have an ability to surpass the range of our planet's natural environment. Berger brings attention to the fact that in earlier times when we first recognized animals, they were only seen simply as clothing, or a pair of horns, and things of this nature.…
