We tend to rant to non-responsive objects, like dogs or cats. Are we more comfortable ranting to non-responsive objects, because they don't judge how or what we feel, and they can't comment verbally. Then it's easier to make up something we would want them to say or would like to hear from someone else. Sherry Turkle argues we do not have category confusions about our pets, and some people tend to be are more comfortable talking to robots than another human being. After doing some research of my…

In the article you talk about how animals do have at least basic human feelings and if not more. That “many of our fellow creatures are more like us than we had ever imagined”.

Bill also describes buying the stuffed dog as a “simple exchange of values” (78). Jake can trade his money for one stuffed dog. While consumerism…
