what all these jobs had in common; animals. I knew whole heartedly that I wanted to work with them, to improve not only their health and welfare, but also that of the community they were in. So, come high school I focused in on sciences and when it was time to pick a college and a major, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to be a veterinarian. College excited a love of learning I didn’t know could exist.…
Animals and humans both fall under on the mammal category and are located in the same kingdom. In the book, “Unlikely Heroes” by Jennifer S. Holland, people around the world share their stories of how an animal saved their life. There are many different short stories, but the rest are also stories of animals rescuing other animals. Whether it’s a dog saving a cat, fox, or llama, they are still amazing heroes that are not focused on what kind, color, or breed they are. Experimenting on a species…
creatures are mythical animals-- centaurs, hippogriffs, goblins and unicorns to name a few- while Lewis mainly chooses to add mythical abilities to every-day animals. His Narnia consists of talking beavers, lions, and of course a few mythical animals such as fauns. Both worlds involve interaction between the non-human animals and the humans, as well as the non-human animals amongst themselves. Rowling’s human characters openly display a divide between the humans and the animals, Lewis’ humans…

Makenzie Jensen 10/19/17 3rd hour/Barker Personal Narrative Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!!!! The birds are singing from the tops of the trees. Butterflies fluttering around me. The stream babbling in the distance. All I can see is green for miles. And beyond that are the mountain tops painted in snow. The chilly air blows my long, luscious golden hair out of my face. Shivering, I wrap the thick wool blanket I’m holding around me tightly. I am staring at what would be the most perfect…
There is an old story about a lion that was raised by sheep. This lion would eat grass like sheep and graze the landside like sheep because in its mind, the lion was a sheep.

The Equals When Brahma-dutt ruled Banaras, Bodhisatva was born as a lion. The lion used to dwell in a cave with his mate. One day, he stood on top of the hill and looked round for some prey.

Each person has different tastes in animals, such as dogs and cats. People also have different preferences for art. James Herriot mixes these ideas together into one in his story, All Creatures Great and Small. Whether it was suturing a wound or the birth of a cow, it was beautiful. Precisely like art, all of the different colors are easy on the eyes and the different textures make for an entertaining experience. The art of Dr. Herriot's surgeries convey the theme that every small action will…
It was very odd to find a kangaroo in Conzano, a tiny town in the heart of the Piedmont in Northern Italy. Odd and confusing I felt, since I could not discern the grounds of such a concrete presence. Imperative is to stress that I mean “concrete” in two senses: the material (the cement of the moulding) in which this particular marsupial was made and hung on the lateral outer wall of the local bar, facing the main square; and its categorical ubiquity. The kangaroo was there and I could…
