    Water for Elephants By; Chasity Laporte Water for Elephants was published in 2006, and was banned in Bedford, N.H. School District (2010) after a parent complained about the book's sexual content, violence but still an amazing story in my own opinion. This book is an epic love story between a man named Jacob Jankowski, woman named Marlena, and Marlena's husband August who is a cruel man, and a beautiful elephants named Rosie, but why would such a amazing book be banned? I ask the same question. The sexule content between Marlena, and Jacob is pretty wild. The first kiss between Marlena and Jacob is reminiscent of the scene when the two of them dance in front of Rosie.…

    In the novel, Water for Elephants, by Sara Gruen Walter is different than the average sized person because he is a dwarf. According to Merriam-Webster dictionary Walter’s dwarfism is a disability because it is a “condition of being able to do things in a normal way”. Even though Walter did not let size get in the way of letting him live his life, he was still considered to have a disability because his height causes him to perform everyday functions differently. Dwarfism was the cause that Walter was separated from his mother. When Walter was fourteen years old he could not perform farm work as efficiently as the average size person, therefore he was considered a burden.…

    Rifkin says that philosophers and animal behaviorists have argued about the capability of self –awareness in other animals. While some argue that animals do not have self-awareness because “they lack a sense of individualism”, others beg to differ. A counter statement that Rifkin utilizes is the remarkable actions elephants do when they are faced with a dead kin. Elephants will “often stand next to their dead kin for days,” and occasionally touch “their bodies with their trunks. After contributing to anticipate the common objection, many people would realize that animals are not much different than us.…

    611). Bekoff (2014) also mentions that caring is a rather important factor in the process. Hence, in order to understand how an animal may feel, humans must place themselves in the positions of these animals and develop perceptions of how animals/wildlife experience their lives and how important their habitat is for their survival. Considerably, this process makes it possible for humans to establish similarities between themselves and non-human animals to develop compassion and feel more inclined to advocate and fight for the restoration and conservation of the environment. However, the development of these characteristics towards the environment can be rather difficult when living in a chaotic…

    They also often witness their own family members beaten and murdered; this is very traumatic for them. Traumatized elephants are more vulnerable to disease as well as psychological and behavioral dysfunction. When captured for the purpose of circus entertainment, elephants lack the tight knit communities that they live and interact in naturally. Their herds help them cope with and recover from traumatic events (Bradsaw, Lindner 1-2). Because of the lack of social bonds, the bond between the trainers and caregivers of the elephants is very important.…

    Elephants have similar human emotions and experiences as us, especially when considering their great mental capacity. “When an elephant dies, its family members engage in intense mourning and burial rituals, conducting weeklong vigils over the body” (Siebert 355). Through these actions and rituals, it becomes clear that elephants have the ability to love, care, and grieve for one another. This is extremely similar to how humans perform last rites for one another at their time of death to show their emotions towards another member of their species and society. “Young elephants are raised within an extended, multitiered network of doting female caregivers” (Siebert 355).…
