Wiser knew the experiment was going to be a long hard road demanding every second of his day when he agreed to take the job, but this was the sixth time he'd lost all of his subjects. To make matters worse, he wasn't any closer to finding a cure than when he started two years ago.
Fortunately, the hyena he purchased from his friend is working out the way he'd hoped. He realizes that feeding the bodies to the beast is grotesque but he believes it's the safest, most logical way to clean up his mistakes.
The doctor considered other ways to get rid of the bodies. He thought about digging one large grave and bulldozing them in, the way Hitler had done to the Jews. He figured transporting the equipment and the deafening machinery would attract unwanted attention. He even thought about moving them to a remote location, but couldn't find an area isolated enough where they wouldn't be found. One of the assistance suggested they toss them in the river, but he'd be taken a lot of chances transporting them to the lake. Besides the hyenas can consume every particle of the human body which means all the evidence would be

    The fur industry has been part of American society even before there was a United States of America. The fur trade likely started when Hudson’s Bay Company was incorporated in 1670 (Dyhouse) and has continued to this day. While fur fashion trends have changed over the years, ranging from felted beaver hats in the mid-19th century, to hats trimmed with whole birds and stuffed kitten heads in the early 20th century, to today’s mink coats, one thing has remained the same; that every piece of fur clothing has come from an animal that was killed for it (Dyhouse). Because of concerns about causing animals to become extinct, furbearing animals have been raised on farms since just after the Civil War (Dyhouse, “Fur Farming in North America”).…

    Night Doctors

    The infamous Night Doctors of the 19th century (and late 18th century) haunted the lives of African Americans, snatching innocent minds and bodies away from their rightful owners. Night Doctors are widely known for their history in body-snatching, which was simply the act of kidnapping and killing innocent blacks (mostly blacks) off the streets for the use of medical experimentation. For dozens of years, scientists, and even just the modern, everyday population have debated on the subject of whether the experiments done by Night Doctors, though horrific and unjust, had made a big or important enough impact on the movement of medical research to somewhat justify their actions. Treatment from the notorious Night Doctors ruined and wounded more…

    The Curious Story of the Missing Beaumont Children It was a warm summer morning on January 26, 1966, when the three Beaumont children left their suburban home to celebrate Australia Day at the beach. The children regularly made the trip by themselves, so their mother felt at ease providing them with bus fare and sending them on their way while she visited and lunched with a close friend. However, she would return home that afternoon to find that the children had still not returned. That morning would end up being the last time she saw her three children. Jane Nartare Beaumont, 9, Arnna Kathleen Beaumont, 7, and Grant Ellis Beaumont, 4, lived in Somerton Park, a quiet suburb minutes away from Adelaide, South Australia.…

    Obstacles faced by youth today and youth in The Outsiders are both, very, different from each other. In The Outsiders an obstacle youth greasers faced was getting jumped by socs because if any greaser got into a fight with a soc it would immediately get put onto the greaser if a police were to show up. Today, if that were to happen both teens would probably get sent to the police station and get put on a warning but not one kid would be accused if they didn’t have any proof of the fight happening. Another obstacle that youth in The Outsiders had faced was when Johnny killed the soc to save Ponyboy, he didn’t have many people to tell because he was afraid, his parents wouldn’t have cared, and he couldn’t tell the police because greasers were seen bad by police even if they didn’t do anything.

    Wendelin Van Draanen has a great deal of entertainment in Runaway. Not all of it is humor, necessarily. There are lots of parts when Holly feels bitter, heartbroken, and melancholy. She breaks down when someone mentions about her parents, or even think about them, especially her mom. She hardly remembers anything about her father (because she was young when her father was alive), but a handful of memories about her mom.…

    I am choosing to compare and contrast the Hyena with the Orangutan. I am choosing these two animals because of the brief but exciting fight that took place on the raft. The Orangutan was trying to assert her dominance in the new strange territory, similarly the Hyena was also competing for dominance. Both of these animals were trying to intimidate the other by showing their teeth and making loud, scary, aggressive noises. This was all just an attempt to try and determine who was higher on the food chain.…

    Any individual who walks through a major city is liable to see a homeless person. They lie on the streets, beg for money, and are generally considered unsightly by those fortunate enough to be in better circumstances; where a lack of stability and poverty intersect, homelessness will always be a given. The question that this brings to mind is how will society react – will these people just be left as they are, or will the government try and intervene for good or for ill? What sort of intervention – carefully regulated and limited job training and shelters with time limits and strict rules, or a gentle, unhindered support for as long as a person need in order to get back on their feet? The plight of the homeless people additionally evokes the…
