Cat in the Rain Essay

I spread them around plants that I don't want to be dug up by squirrels hiding nuts. I also scattered it around the vents of my house. The only drawback is that you have to do that each time it rains. My cat Spike does a pretty good job of keeping my house and yard free of mice and rats. His record is not very good when it comes to squirrel eradication problems. He actually likes to watch the critters scurry from tree to tree. Spike has learned to…

Georgia remembers the day she found Peaches. She was outside of her apartment changing a flat tire in the pouring rain. It was a typical day, she was running late for work and rushed outside with half her hair done and one shoe off. She was greeted with pouring rain in the middle of a cold January and a flat tire. "Oh, great," Georgia sighed. This was the cherry on top of her already bad morning. She quickly put her jacket over her head and headed to the trunk to get the tools she needed to…

have mused over the primitive, yet complicated question: is human nature inherently good or evil? Authors of the gothic fiction genre seem to believe that humanity at its core is wicked. Two hair-raising short stories, Edgar Allan Poe's "The Black Cat" and Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery," comparatively use gothic fiction as a vehicle to disclose the perverse nature of humankind using women in distress, mystery, and the ambiance of the story. By featuring women in distress, these two short…

county fair on Saturday, August 17, 2013, I looked over my shoulder to see a sight I never wished to see, black smoke. A view seldom seen until then but everyone knew exactly what it was from and where it originated. It had been a dry summer with little rain, and when heat, dry ungrazed grass, and sparks combine, the only result is a wild fire. A fire so strong a powerful that it spread from ridge to ridge in a matter of hours and threatened many homes but only claimed one historical windmill.…

Wouldn’t it just have to be today, on the day that he had the most important meeting of his life, that it had to rain fish? The roads were chaos, the radio stations were no better than static, and Huck was ready to burst a blood vessel. Was this traffic light going to wait until pigs flew to flash green? Wait, no. He wasn’t in the mood for any more airborne menageries this morning. Unwitting passersby ducked and swivelled in a contentious ballet, as the torn-ocean sky threw up last night’s…

constructing. A company called BMS Cat went to all the neighborhoods in Houston to build a Hurricane Disaster team in which I became a part of. This experience was very eventful including the weather, attractions, and food/beverage. If you are looking for a great vacation, please travel to Key West and enjoy the retreat of a lifetime. To begin with, the weather is lovely. The daily low temperature range from 70F to 74F while never exceeding 70F. In addition, it rained daily. The rain was light…

Oppositely and figuratively, a rain shower should cleanse the city of its impurities, but this is not the case in Swift’s poem. Instead, the ending of the downpour brings with it the ending of friendship, of economic opportunity for the shopkeepers, and of the supposed physical cleansing of the city. Swift’s irony declares that the shower did exactly what was not expected of it; London is dirtier than before. The quean’s hair flings dirty sweat and dust , just as the rain sprinkles grime onto…

variety of different children books that are great about talking about culture and there are also children books that don’t do the greatest job with teaching children about culture. The two books that I will be examining are Mrs. Katz and Tush and The Rain Came Down. The first book, Mrs. Katz and Tush is written by Patricia Polacco that was published in 1994. This book is a great example of multicultural because it shows true meaning of friendship and how similar and different each culture is. …

persons argument to make it much easier to attack or retaliate against it. An example of this would be the following statement, Laura says that she wants to open a dog shelter to help dogs. Ben retaliates and says that he can not believe that Laura hates cats so much that she is willing to open a shelter only for dogs. The second fallacy is…

to imagine what it’d be like without them to help me with everyday life. They are the best when it comes to giving advice. I have a huge extended family, my mom has two sisters and two brothers. Every Sunday we meet at my grandma’s house for dinner, rain or shine. We are always there, just to get together and hear about everyone’s lives and what they’ve done that week. It keeps us very close, for as long as I can remember we have done this. It is one of the best feelings being that close to my…
