Ron Koertge’s 2006 poem “Do You Have Any Advice For Those of Us Just Starting Out?” demonstrates how the poet uses the conventional poetic form of a free verse to treat the unusual subject of guidance to up and coming poets with sense of humor and wisdom. The poem is separated into 6 stanzas. The poem does not have a specific form, but the stanzas seem to increase in lines as the poem is read. As the poem The poem is constructed like a guideline which makes it seem that the guidance starts out…

bears swimming in the little pools in their enclosures. These are common memories children have when looking back on their trips to the zoo, but as they grow up they realize how much their memories have failed them. When a child grows into a parent running around the zoo with their own children they notice how sluggish the animals truly are. The lions are no longer roaring, but instead, laying in the shade sleeping, and the polar bears are pacing the enclosure helplessly. This is because the zoo…

“This particular polar bear loves to eat carrots. They give him the important beta carotene which is critical to his survival”... Lucinda May happened to also be angrily chewing a carrot, when she tripped and fell over the fence into the polar bear enclosure. Walter knew exactly what he had to do. As arguably the most talented polar bear tamer in the entire state, he had trained his whole (entire) life for a moment like this. James Thurber got out his walkie talkie and prepared to call in help…

Animals have been kept in captivity for entertainment reasons and money. The captivity of large animals in zoos and aquariums is cruel and immoral because the natural instincts and behaviors of the animals have been corrupted and the treatment of the animals has turned to abuse; animals are now seen as entertainers, not wild beings. The captivity of animals began when a healthy two-year-old elephant calf left the fields of Ethiopia by the hands of snatchers. P.T. Barnum purchased the…

much larger from this angle. [b]" We shouldn't be doing this."[/b] Her words were tense as was her body, refusing to relax knowing damn well they could be found out at any moment. The twins were practically gift wrapped at this point, already in an enclosure, all they needed at this point was a bright red bow and a tag that said enslave…

animals: complexity and novelty, choice and control (Buchanan-Smith, 2010). Physical and social needs can be addressed by increasing the complexity of an animal’s enclosure. The presence of enrichment can test their cognitive needs such as the introduction of tool use and puzzle boards as these can reduce the effects of habituation, as enclosures which have repetitive routines and non-stimulated environments can lead to the increase in stereotypical behaviours and boredom (Buchanan-Smith,…

subject often did behaviors that involved a lot of feeding, resting, there might be a possibility that size difference might be a factor in why their activity patterns are different. For instance, the female focal subject was often moving around the enclosure and spent little time doing anything else. Again it is implied that size might play a factor in these…

can fight in the war, they do not have any freedom. He explains that “Throughout history, social-spatial enclosures have been used by dominant social movements to establish stable control over specific territories and their populations” (Wood, 2009, p. 774). These social-spatial enclosures can range from colonization to gated communities. In the case of the film Glory, the social-spatial enclosure for the African Americans is the black army. The black soldiers are motivated to join the army and…
