Bloodhound

become a typical home pet (Colie 32). The Basset Hound is also thought to be descendent of St. Hubert hounds. St. Hubert bred and developed a new breed of hound, which looks similar to today's Bloodhound. The Basset was a result of a mutation in this strand of Bloodhound. The genetic mutation of Bloodhound strain produced a short-legged, dwarfed hound ideal for on foot hunters in search of small prey (“Origin of the Basset Hound”). Human laziness also explains why the Hounds were developed.…

Slavery in America has been a nasty battle from the start. With opposition arising alongside indentured servitude, it gradually morphed into atrocity we know as slavery today. As with the majority of issues regarding slavery, elites were at the forefront. The select few that could afford large numbers of slaves were able to churn out more product at lower prices than a single yeoman farmer could even dream of. The accompanying racism enforced by the wealthy kept the slaves from rebelling and…

“It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.” said Theodore Roosevelt. Rikki-Tikki-Tavi a mongoose, had put himself to the task of protecting the garden and his human family from the evil cobras Nag and Nagaina.

flinging themselves back unto ground to avoid the warden’s eyes. They have successfully escaped. We watch as they fumble around in their chains chasing after a chicken, ravenous from scrappy prison food. They fill their bellies in the woods as bloodhounds howl in the distance. Their Odyssey-like journey has just begun. “O’ Brother, Where Art Thou?” was directed by Ethan and Joel Coen and was released in December of 2000. With its critically acclaimed cast of George Clooney, Tim Blake Nelson,…

First off, I chose irony for the literary term because when Holden says, “But my parents, especially my mother, she had ears like a goddamn bloodhound.” I got a bit nervous knowing that she can wake up by the sound of a pin drop and it make me wonder what was going to happen to Holden if he got caught. Would his mother be upset? Or would she be delighted to see her son? It felt as if it was a dramatic irony at the moment. On the other hand, I was not as worried about the father because Holden…

Rainsford as the odor became richer, “Has someone come to the island...is that waste...the musky water.” Rainsford walked outside to the dog pen and discovered that it was the rotting remains of General Zaroff, who just the night before was fed to the bloodhounds. However at that moment he heard a very outlandish noise. Rainsford went to investigate that piccular noise. As he approached the noise he realized they are voices. He then heard a very weird noise….A CHOPPER? What is a chopper doing on…

Racism is “the unfair treatment of people who belong to a different race” (Hornby 1248). In Their Eyes Were Watching God, Zora Neale Hurston comments on race relations. “The novel seems to ask if race is not, after all, socially constructed—that is to say, categories not based on biology but on concepts thought up by humans” (Sharon 189). Hurston focuses on the loss of the Blacks’ identity in society. A significant example that sheds the light of the history of blacks in America is the…

Negatively and Positively, the Underground Railroad shaped the environment of slavery during the eighteen-hundreds. Laws and risks gave off a bad vibe in trying to escape, but the top secrecy and the devotion the conductors gave to the fugitives over bared the risks. Fearfully, many abolitionist and fugitives broke laws and were on the path to death if caught escaping. Eric Froner described how Frederick Douglass had to be aware of officers and police monitoring fugitives, “At every ferry a…

During the Creek War (1813-14), the Maskókî tribes that were in Alabama at the time revolted against the settlers, “the brutal repression and disastrous treaty forced upon them by General Andrew Jackson sent thousands of the most determined warriors and their families migrating southward to take refuge in Spanish Florida.” This of course refers to the First Seminole War (1814-18) when Andrew Jackson was too ambitious at trying to control the Indian problem. While there they merged with the…
