The topic of the book Magic and Loss focuses on the Internet. The positive effect it has on the society, how influential it is, and the exploration and transition it withholds. Internet is a parallel universe that we live in besides earth, and we constantly teleport from one to another. While others argue that the internet, is cruel, ruins your energy, and causes health problems which is partially true, other belief that it is empowering, enlightening, inspiring and a work of art. My totem is…
in our head. In most cases, the sense and reference of a word are the same, but it all depends on a person’s perception of sense and reference of word. For example, if another person and I are talking about a dog and I think that it is a Golden Retriever and the other person thinks it is a Yellow Lab, we both have the same reference, but we have different references of what the object is. Another concept covered in Pinker’s book The Stuff of Thought is language acquisition. Language…
"Charlie Chu-Chu! Come on honey, we need to leave." I giggled as Mommy said my nickname: "Chu-Chu". I was in playing with my toy train in my room. She wanted to go visit Daddy today, and I was going with her. I was happy because I had gotten dressed all by myself. Mommy said I had to dress nicely, so I am wearing jeans and a dress shirt. As usual, my curly hair was unkempt, but I liked it that way. I was getting to be a big boy now, and before Daddy left, he said I was the man of the house. Or…
My sister, Chloe, has wanted a dog for as long as I can remember. Even at the age of three, she would always watch the cartoons with puppies in them, sometimes even have a fit when they were not airing. She would also always ask me for help when she wanted to prove she could take care of a dog, since I am pretty smart and have straight A's. Honestly I did not want to help her, because the truth is I hate dogs. I’ve seen what animals like these could do to people, so I don’t want to be near them.…
Jake Parson’s mother called it the magic hour: the moment when a day passes into evening, when the earth feels suspended before darkness and slumber. In the gold and reddening light, an easy southwest breeze propelled Jake’s thirty-five-foot sailboat through the Beaufort Inlet for the first time. As he navigated through the channel, he heard the cries of distant seagulls. It was the first land animal he’d heard in days. The last low rays of the sun illuminated the white church steeple and the…
ever. He got us a yellow lab puppy and we got him early because the family that gave him to us was going somewhere very far away so it was even better because he was super small. My dad said the reason why we got him was because we have a golden retriever at home and he thought that she was getting lonely and needed someone to play with. After we got him Gabby was happy and logan and I were super happy that we go to pick out the name…
While recently looking up Canadian laws, Animal Rights popped up and seemed very intriguing. From thereon, the Dog Owners Liability Act surfaced and it states “The owner of a dog is liable for damages resulting from a bite or attack by the dog on another person or domestic animal.” This law does make sense that the owner should take the responsibility of their dog because they were the ones who raised the dog to be the way it is but the one sub issue found with this law is the Pit Bull Ban. The…
Art is a great topic to converse and talk about because art is everywhere and it defines us all whether we realize it or not art is upon us and describes our ways and the story of our live's. Throughout art's history in old Spain there were two famous painters who enjoyed art known as the great and famous Picasso and Velázquez. As a matter of fact these two famous painters painted things for a reason and that reason was to tell the world the stories of their live's through drawing and paintings…
suggested that this topic relates to entrepreneurial spirit in that it helps to decipher the truth from the lies and help one make better decisions with this information. Another part of class that I enjoyed this week was working in groups on our “retriever tank” project outside. I was a nice day and it was nice to enjoy the weather and do group work outside…
Dogs are my favorite animal. In fact, I have two, Lola and Barry. They’re both Golden Retrievers, Barry (the boy) is bigger than Lola (the girl). They were both born in the same litter about an hour from where we live. Since they’ve grow up together, they get along well and are both well trained. About a week ago, Lola got out the front door while we were bringing in groceries to the house. She ran down the street and got away and we were unable to find her. We searched around the area till it…
