Feral

The sun has just begun to set on the non-descript American plains. A narrator speaks with a voice that once likely held thunder in its grip, but has since shrunk with age. He speaks a different language, and for a sequence of moments, his voice becomes the consciousness of nature, as the images on the screen give a sampling of every conceivable natural wonder: everything from the simplest of categories, water, wind, fire, earth, to the most sturdy and majestic lakes and mountains. This voice is…

Grendel vs. Grendel Grendel. This name struck fear in men and have even made the strongest tremble in terror. However is he just a monster that’s “hoping to kill…?” (Glencoe, 394) or is Grendel a whole other monster , one who thinks, feels, and has desires just like any other person. This insight occurs in John Gardner’s “Grendel” which makes Grendel seem a lot more complex than Beowulf’s Grendel. John Gardner’s Grendel wasn’t just a monster, he was a monster with ideas, feelings and most…

“Throughout a history humanity acted aggressively with each other, concluding with feral competition spirit. Sooner or later it will lead us to an unfortunate contingency. If there is a way to prevent it, we must certainly seize it”. The main idea of space exploration was initiated a very long time ago. In the time when people did not have resources and knowledge to build something that shall let them have a start point. Curiosity to unknown is leaking inside us throughout the humanity.…

Seldom is not often or rarely. As found when Mr. Raymond said “ When I come to town, which is seldom,if I weave a little and drink out of this sack, folks can say Dolphus Raymond’s in clutches of whiskey- that’s why he won’t change his ways.”(268). I may also say that I miss school on a seldom basis. Unhitched is to unhook or unfasten. As seen in “ He unhitched his watch and chain and placed them on the table saying,”(270). I may also say that I must unhitch my belt after Thanksgiving dinner.…

An oddity that refutes scientific evidence would be the existence of feral children. In 1920, a little girl was rescued from a wolf den in India (Havliand 121). This girl was described as “wild” and lacked even the most basic personality traits that makes us human. She was not able to walk on two legs or even feed herself (Havliand 121). There have been other reports of feral children as well, for example; there was a reported 10-year old boy found in the Syrian desert in…

“Herzog, Hal. ‘Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat: Why it’s so hard to think Straight about Animals”. New York, NY, Harper Perennial, 2010. Hal Herzog focuses on the ethically inconsistent views that prevail in commonly held attitudes toward animals. The author suggests that moral incoherence is hardwired into the thinking of our species as a random by-product of evolution. One example that stood out to me, was the differing moral attitudes and responsibilities that people hold toward rats…

to survival without letting the other find their weakness. For instance,“The "civilizing instinct" of a man urging him to behave lawfully, follow rules, act morally and the feral instinct inciting him to act brutally, become violent and a selfish breaker of rules run parallel in this novel with the ultimate result of the feral instinct gaining expression by splintering the thin thread of civilization.” ( Anjum Fatima et al. 124). The only boy they tried keeping civilization was Ralph because he…

In fact, she would have been comparable to a feral child. The most famous case of a feral child is a girl who is commonly referred to as “Genie.” Genie grew up in an environment similar to that of Rapunzel. Genie was chained to a chair alone for hours on end, where she was unable to move around or socialize with anyone…
