Poodle

“In the arms of the angel, fly away from here, from this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear. You are pulled from the wreckage, of your silent reverie. You're in the arms of the angel, may you find some comfort here” (Sarah McLachlan). Each day, hundreds of animals die from hunger and abuse. The ASCPA allows abused and neglected animals to have a voice. It is an organization that provides food, shelter, and care for the animals. Even animals deserve to have the necessities…

dog after that. We tried having fish and cats, but that didn’t turn out too well. I was really just a dog person. Finally, my brother and I started wanting a dog. He wanted a pit bull or a bulldog. I, on the other hand, thought that Yorkshire and poodles was the cutest thing, I also thought it would be cool to have a pit or bulldog. My mom was totally against getting a dog because she said that after Kilo no dog could ever come to the house.…

Suddenly, a white and fluffy baby poodle came jumping at the second me, reaching their paw at my precious chocolate. His eyes wide, he lost balance and nearly fell out of the chair. Really, this shouldn’t be so scary, but I’ve been scared of dogs ever since, especially cute ones. Leaping…

considering. Pure breeds have been developed for different purposes, and their temperaments match those purposes closely. For example, Rottweilers tend to have bold and sometimes aggressive temperaments because they have been bred to be working guard dogs. Poodles were bred to hunt and be wonderful family companions. It would be difficult to predict the exact type of personality a cross breeding between these two dogs might…

After exploring the themes and concepts of the texts we have studied in class, I have developed an understanding of the struggles and successes of other’s life experiences. This has been explored in reading “The Curious Incident of The Dog in The Night-Time,” by British author Mark Haddon, showing the way that society treats Christopher because of his mental illness. In addition to “Remember The Titans,” directed by Boaz Yakin, revealing how extreme racism and discrimination was in the 1960’s…

Here is his story. “When I was a little pup things were tough because I wasn’t like the other pups. They teased me because I wouldn’t bite, eat prey the older wolves brought, or kill any creature even if my life depended on it. They called me a poodle. I was an outcast from the start. So I left the pack and decided to live on my own. I was all alone without a single friend. One day I found a book. It was old, torn, and musty but it felt like it was filled with magic. I opened the book, and in…

Humans and dogs have been living side by side for over 14, 000 years (Prestrude and O’Shea, 1996; Riddle, 1987). Throughout the years dogs have served as hunters, guards, herders, medical subjects, companions and guides for humans. Dog selection for a particular task is often based on pairing the task to the breed, attempting to choose one with the appropriate physical, personality, and psychological attributes (Weiss and Greenberg, 1997) (e.g. Jack Russell Terriers’ high stamina and high energy…

In “A&P” by John Updike, the story takes place in a 1950’s grocery store called A&P. This story reflects the life and culture of what life was like in the post-war era of the 1950’s. A&P is a small town grocery store located in downtown Massachusetts during the 1950’s. During this time, the country is recovering from the Great Depression and World War II. After the Great Depression and World War II, “new items constantly appeared on the racks” (Young 81). In the store, brand names of food…

However, I was not ready to abandon my dream, and my persistence remained tenacious. As I was looking at pictures of adoptable dogs, I came across one photo that stood out to me. The one that I was looking at was named Dolce, she was a black miniture poodle with a snowy white patch on her chest. She was in need of a home because she was left in front of a rescue center pregnant, and birthed three adorable puppies that had already found residences. Every time I looked at that picture, her big,…

At first glance, Oskar's disloyalty to his wife Emilie and the fact that he has a wife, a mistress, and a girlfriend might seem like a relatively unimportant part of Schindler's List. Schindler’s disloyalty is very easily interpreted as a background context for the book, and for the purpose of giving Oskar personality traits. Disloyalty is obviously a bad characteristic, but it’s possible we could empathise with Schindler now, because he is a flawed person, which is realistic and gives him a…
