Over time society has come to recognize certain objects, like the Red Cross, flashing lights, and hospital signs, as being the universal symbols of aid. However, many of these symbols do not necessarily need to be tangible objects in order to represent something greater, but can be a concept even as subtle as a colour that, when repeatedly shown in certain contexts, comes to symbolize the same as an ambulance responding to an emergent call. Some of the strongest symbols in literature include…

It was an ordinary day, with my family going to the zoo. For me it was so interesting and beautiful how every animal acted in a certain type of way. I was with my little sister Grace, my parents, and my beautiful daughter Emily. We had so much fun that day. Feeling the nice hot sun, listening to different animal sounds specially the chirping of the birds. Everything was so amazing. Watching Emily's big hazel eyes in amazement was priceless. We were passing by the giraffe pen, and then we…

To thoroughly understand the relationships between themes, a theme can be analogous to a wild animal (#8). There can be many wild animals in a vast open area, but in many smaller areas, there may be just one. As for literature, many complex novels possess multiple themes, but, commonly, short stories and other pithy pieces of writing possess a single theme shown throughout the book. Be that as it may, wild animals also possess the inclination to rival each other; themes acquire the same…

The Saber-tooth Tiger/ Cat The Sabertooth tiger is all around the world. Many may say they don't know what a saber-tooth is but we seen it throughout our childhood. When we were small we use to watch the movie Ice Age which includes the three friends a mammoth, a sloth and last a saber-tooth tiger. Many have also seen 10,000 b.c which includes a sabertooth tiger, no one should say they haven't seen one because everyone has watched a movie where one was in. A sabertooth isn't a cuddling…

“Elephants,tigers,and other animals that the circus use to entertain the adences do not stand on their head, jump through hoops, balance on pedestal because they want to. They perform these and other difficult tricks because they're afraid what will happen if they don't.” - A volunteer from PETA. In the USA there are many laws to help save endangered animals yet something as bad as the circus does not. Circuses should no longer have animal acts due to the abuse and bad nourishment for these wild…

and sad lives. Life in zoo is so difficult for animals because they hardly have any privacy and lack metal stimulation and physical exercise. Those animals really don’t get used to a life in captivity. Zoos are the unnatural environment for these wildlife animals and these can cause the animals to be sad and can drive them crazy which can even lead to death. Animals in captivity are imprisoned in small enclosure and cages at zoos and they don’t get to do the things that they naturally do in the…

Why are people against owning exotic animals? I understand that exotic animals should be free, but injured ones could become pets. Some animals do not have any hope of surviving in the wild. It is already legal to have them, so why change now. Private ownership should be legal if animal welfare is taken care of. Owning exotic animals should stay legal if born in captivity, not stolen from the wild. Most people are responsible enough to own exotic animals as pets. Captive breeding can…

The Exotic Animal Trade Have you ever thought of what it would be like to own a tiger or a lion? At five years old the thought of owning an exotic pet seemed very appealing. However as I grew older and more mature the reality of the situation and the idea does not seem like a dream anymore. When most families decide to buy a family pet they generally look for a fancy goldfish, a cute puppy, or even an energetic bunny, not a dangerous exotic animal. Exotic pets can be defined as an animal not…

they would never have seen if it were not for wildlife parks. Many argue that captive animals are not happy in their environment, and should be set free from zoos in their natural habitat. Although many find captivity cruel and unnecessary, having animals in captivity is beneficial to our society as well as to captive animals because when done right, endangered species are protected and well taken care of, people are able to experience beautiful wildlife,…
