Raccoon

They hunted: deer, wild turkey, rabbit, alligator, duck or any other birds, opossum, bear, raccoons, wild hogs, and squirrels. The hunters trapped their animals or shot them with bows. They also did some fishing but not a lot. When they did do fishing they used spears and stunned the fish with poison. Gathering foods like blueberries and plums…

Imagine walking down the street into a place where the aroma is cigarette smoke, perfume, and sweat. At least the smell gave off the realization that you were about to have a good time. Even though the whole decade was a good time! During this time period, there was a social outbreak in all kinds of people. All the worries people had were: fashion, music, and dancing. In the 1920s, men dressed very sophisticated. The goal of dressing so elegantly was to become more attractive. In their…

I was still trying to focus on the road and also trying to stay on it. Rachel and Sophie were arguing about something, but I was to consecrate on the road that I had no clue what they were talking about. Suddenly I see a raccoon or something in the middle of the road. It caught me off guard and I had to think quickly so I slammed on the brakes and started to spin. All I remember seeing is the car going straight down into the deep ditch. I feel a huge jerk and I all I can…

The fragile skulls of birds. The elongated skulls of lizards. The larger skulls of what might have been cats, dogs, raccoons, porcupines, rabbits, squirrels…. Not a scrap of flesh adhered to any of these death’s-heads, as if they had been boiled clean: white and yellow-white in the butane light, scores of them, perhaps a hundred. No leg bones, no rib cages, just skulls…

garden in the back where I grow most of my own organic fruits and vegetables. I anticipate to have a couple pets, maybe a cat, dog, and pig that run around freely through the forest. Also, I would put out food for other animals like deer, rabbits, raccoons and birds and try to befriend them. Mainly, I want to have this cabin so I can spend time spiritually connecting with nature on a daily bases and learning from it, well I believe nature is the greatest teacher. My intensions are not to…

As an animal lover, it was hard not to gush over some of the strange new animals. My favorite was probably a fuzzy little creature called the raccoon. A black mask adorned their faces, and their entire body was a grey hue. Their tails were large and fluffy, with black rings circling them. Sadly, our first discovery was in a tribe's camp, as they had been trapped. They were then skinned, and their…

I had just gotten back from school when my world began to crumble around me. It was a Friday, so like any other kid who had just suffered through an entire week of excruciating labor, I was very excited to kick back and relax. Eagerly I dropped my crimson backpack to the floor, letting it fall with a loud thud that must have echoed through the entire house. Still in my school uniform, I plop onto my bed and pull out my phone. Maybe I’ll watch another episode of Lost, I think to myself, unaware…

For the last hundred plus years Hollywood has used repetition as a teaching mechanism to reinforce negative stereotypes through images surrounding Arab people. Stereotypes are part of individual’s everyday lives. Every person in the world is associated with some sort of cultural label that can be either positive or negative.
