In my critique to Mark Twain article of the "Dammed Human Race." Twain says "Man is Cruel". To that I agree with Mark Twain however, I’d like to add on that man is cruel because of greed. Mark Twain proves this during his scientific study. He shows how animals are innocent where man is cruel. He shows where animals take their fill where man is greedy. The author conducted scientific research to provide logos for his argument. He formats his article to create pathos and while being Mark Twain…

In “The Black Cat” by Edgar Allan Poe, “Prey” by Richard Matheson, and “the Devil and Tom Walker” by Washington Irving, the authors all have a common trend of creating displays of violence resulting in blood or the loss of life in their works to show physical repercussions to hardships or mistakes. In addition to the consequences of physical violence, the characters also go through seemingly inescapable scenarios stemming from their own or other’s emotions. In “The Black Cat” by Edgar Allen…

Many dread running, which in many cases leaves one with their hands on their thighs, panting, wondering why soccer players enjoy doing this for long periods of time. After catching one’s breath, the ache of sore muscles may lead one to wish they never signed up to play little league soccer. Although, when one trains on their own time, at their own pace, the anxiety of being able to perform during conditioning week will be soothed. Surviving the hardships of soccer conditioning week may be…

The Meat That You Eat The average American will consume one calf, eleven cows, 1,096 chickens, and 15,655 chicken eggs in his or her lifetime (Catalano). It is, for some odd reason, fairly easy for people to see animals in their diet as different from the animals that they have as pets. However, due to recent outings of companies such as Tyson Foods, INC. that included video footage, people have begun to actually think about the meat that they eat. Consumers saw the way that animals are treated…

Change is necessary; necessary for moving forward, and necessary in fact for survival. We, as a society, need to change the way we live for the sake of the earth, the animals, and ourselves. The most practical solution, and the one that would have the most impact, is to shift to a more plant-based diet. Vegetarianism means not eating meat while veganism is a lifestyle that entails not consuming or using any animal goods, and while it may seem extreme to some, the benefits of such a diet are…

The Shiras Moose The shiras moose is the largest member of the deer family. They are very long legged and comparable in size to an oversized horse. They have huge heads with soft lips, so they can feel around for the leaves they eat off trees. Moose have a very muscular neck so they can hold up this huge head and the males can hold up their antlers. They are in the alces genus and the shirasi species. Moose are very large mammals that live in cold climates. They are covered in thick fur…

become Ishmael, blessed by God to last through the generations despite the hate he would face from his family and outsiders. When Abram and Sarai returned to the path of God, God asked Abram to perform a blood sacrifice of animals - a three-year old calf, goat, ram, dove, and pigeon, of which he cut all the animals but the birds in half and laid them side by side - as part of a ritual to bind them to a covenant. This covenant promised that Abram, now Abraham’s blood would last, although they…

Ali Burns Rough Draft Barefoot running can be described as running with little or no foot protection, basically running without shoes. Many runners have been switching to this trend in the past decade. Why? They believe that by removing the heel lift in shoes runners will be less subject to injury. Is this really true? In an article by Quinn, she states, “if treating foot pain was as simple as going barefoot, more podiatrists would recommend this simple solution” (1). As many people as…

The 1920s was the period of time between two Great wars when people’s lifestyle was changing in line with those historical events. Europe was suffering after the losses of the WWI and people had to change their lives according to the historical reality. The mood of European citizens was reflected in the clothes they wore. After the years of strict Victorian style -corsets, petticoats fashion finally became more bright, relaxed and variable. At that time such designers as Coco Chanel and Elsa…
