“Markers, Paw-Prints, Hair Dye, and Other Mistakes” I love trying new things. I’m bold. I love the rush of adrenaline you get when taking risks. I love the unknown. I’ve had this mindset for as long as I can remember; I’ve always believed that living a life without being audacious isn’t a life worth having. You need to be impulsive. Try new things without worrying about the outcome, because if you do, you won’t enjoy the little things in life nearly as much. But things can go wrong, and…

Nelson Mandela was the total opposite as the pigs because he was a good leader in trying to help South Africa.…

Authors will often personify other things in order to relate back to the human experience. Most likely of these cases, authors will personify animals. Sometimes this is deliberate and other times the author is personifying animals unintentionally, because that is the only way the author can perceive the animal in his or her own terms of the human…
