Captivity

In the poem, Captivity by Louise Erdrich, the author shows a deeper meaning of the hardships and liberation of captivity. The overall meaning of the poem the author is expressing to the reader is that one should follow the word of god while being held in captivity, but to not limit themselves to being narrow-minded and limited in terms of thinking. The narrator of the poem is expressing to the audience how the experience of her capture was eventually an eye opener to her. It is a unique…

Orcas in Captivity vs. Orcas in the Wild The roar of the crowd, the splash of cool water, and the spectacular stunts that are performed by the orca and his trainer may leave you speechless. What some people don't think about is what the effects are of having orcas in captivity versus keeping them in the wild. Some similarities may include things like the diet and nutrition in the wild and captivity. On the other hand, things like their lifespan, the posture of their dorsal fin, and being torn…

In "Captivity," Sherman Alexie retells the historical backdrop of European venture into North America and the expulsion of Native Americans from their conventional grounds. The story appears to claim that Native American history as we probably am aware it rotates around Mary Rowlandson. Toward the start of the story, Alexie quotes Rowlandson's 1676 account, in which she was caught by Indians, one of whom "gave me a biscuit, which I put in my pocket, and not setting out to eat it, covered it…

and then you wake up in the smoggiest, most terrifying place in the world and you start freaking out.That, my friends is called a zoo,and it is the start of a very terrible life. It is clear what my position on animals in captivity is. I most definitely do not agree with captivity. I have seen animals be treated wrongly, and act very strange, and I do not agree with that and I’m going to prove why. My first reason is that animals do NOT act like they do in the wild. In the article, “Do Animals…

Imagine a person spending their entire life kept in a cage -- away from home, where they are meant to be. Animals in zoos and circuses should not be held captive. Notable reasons why I believe animal captivity is wrong are due to the size and limitations of the living areas these animals are in, the danger these animals possess to humans, and because they are taken from the wild at an early age. Every day, all around the world, animals are held captive under no free will, and every one of those…

seeing an elephant in the zoo just standing there doing nothing, but then in movies and pictures you see them always walking and playing just always doing something. They don't have that choice in the zoo. Animals should not be kept in zoos or in captivity because they don't have the life they would have in their natural habitat, they are not taken care of well and they are not happy. Animals don't have as much space in the zoo as they would in there natural habitat. Animals don't get as much…

Nobody would like to be in a small place to live with 20 other people, well killer whales also known as orcas don’t like it either. Since 1961 orcas have been kept in captivity. Killer whales that are held in captivity should be banned, it shows that it’s okay to keep them in a small place with little freedom, hunters go all over the world to capture these orcas, when it comes to putting them in the habitat they are going to stay they start to fight with each other. The orcas are captured in a…

Left Captive in Camps The Holocaust was both a time of extreme emotion and war. Many were persecuted and put into concentration camps, and some were even killed because of who they were. The concentration camps were a place of imprisonment for Nazi Germany’s enemies. To begin, the concentration camps were first established and built in 1933, shortly after Adolf Hitler was named Chancellor. “In the weeks after the Nazis came to power, The SA, the SS, the police, and local civilian authorities…

Did you know 163 whales have died in captivity, not including stillborn or miscarried calves. Whales in captivity are a big problem. I disagree with whales in captivity for these reasons, Against their nature, Torture, and Unhealthy. First of all, it’s against their nature. The most popular captive whale, orcas, would have to swim the circumference of a normal tank in seaworld 1,400 times a day to represent the distance they swim a day in the wild. Also, they don’t have the same life they…

currently 56 Orca whales in captivity around the world (The Fate of Captive Orcas). These animals are used solely for human entertainment. Orca whales are meant to be in the ocean, not in a concrete swimming pool. The captivity of Orcas must be terminated due to the danger the whales pose to trainers, and fellow whales, lack of proper care, and emotional suffering of the animals. In the wild Orca whales are not seen as violent or aggressive towards humans, but when in captivity it is a…
