The characterization of the Misfit maybe simple, but it is actually a somewhat difficult thing to do. In lame mans terms, he does not fit in a one size fits all explanation of what he is. For one, he is a misfit and an outsider, never quite fitting in our cookie cutter society. His case is quite peculiar in the fact that he can not be simply written off as crazy. It would be simple to put a label on him and be done with it, but why not delve deeper into this and give a more precise…

Numbers have been declining since 2011, but in 2013 still 2,902 animals were euthanized. The Caldwell County Animal Shelter is a contributor to this problem.

I imagine anyone in their right mind would be just as scared as Bill if some unknown force sucked their dogs into a “black hole “metaphorically and not a trace of them was left the next day. I wonder what will become of the she-wolf once the men catch her in the act, or if anything will happen at all (85). It is ironic that Bill…
