Rhinoceros

Many of Africa’s most iconic animals are disappearing and could be gone within the next 50 years, but there are ways to stop it. Animals are hunted for valuable goods such as their fur, tusks, or horns. There is also a demand for live baby animals, such as gorillas. These babies can sell for up to 40, 000 dollars a gorilla. If the babies are taken away, the species can not repopulate when the adults die.The removal of their youth leaves gorillas critically endangered and possibly gone by 2020.…

so they blindly join in. Besides, these words are written into stone, so they have to be true… right? Right now Stratford is preparing a show called Rhinoceros. In it, people are turning into rhinoceroses, mainly because everyone else is doing it. Similarly, Winson sees everyone participating in the Two Minute Hate, and he “turns into a rhinoceros” and joins in. By doing this, citizens lose their sense of humanity as an animalistic compulsion takes over. All sense of individuality is…

Rhinoceroses are mammals that have sub-species occurring in Africa, South America and parts of Asia. These mammals have a nasal horn which consists of a protein called keratin. Rhinos are poached for their horn. In many Asian cultures rhino horn is believed to have magical properties. This has led to the increase in rhino poaching. Rhino poaching is the act of illegally harvesting rhino horn for sale on the black market. Rhinos are killed by poachers as it is easier to harvest the horn from a…

Over spring break, I took a trip to Swaziland, Africa. One of the days I was there, I went on a safari ride. The people in my group and I were a little nervous about the ride just because there are some huge, scary animals out there. The first thing our tour guide said to us was, “Don’t worry about it, the safari car is very safe and the animals are used to people coming through here.” The car was pretty big, seating our whole group plus an experienced driver. It had four tall doors and a few…

Poaching is a worldwide catastrophe that not only affects the animals that are being poached but also the environment and the people around them. Poaching is the illegal act of over-exploitation of animals and the illegal trading and selling of them whether it be for killing them for certain parts or just the whole body in general. Africa is a continent in which its animals and people that have been strongly affected by poaching and it is now starting to change African economy and the…

As a female during the Paleolithic era, I envision that my day would have been consumed with gathering food and tending to children. While I was gathering food near the watering hole, I see a magnificent Wooly Rhino. He seems to wander almost aimlessly near the edge of the water, paying no attention to the small herd of Ibex located nearby (Werner, 2011). Suddenly, another glorious Wooly Rhino appears. They appear to be engaged in a great duel to determine supremacy. When I return to my…

Pengalins are animals, similar to anteaters, and possess scale armor all over their body, a lengthy tail and four legs. Plated armor allow these animals to effectively defend themselves against predators. The bodily characteristics of pangolins include large, hardened, overlapping scales similar to armor plating, a newborn pangolin has a softer shell, but it hardens as the animal matures. This armor is made out of keratin. Pangolins curl up into a ball when threatened, and will tuck its face…

The Beauty of Complete Metamorphosis It was a warm day in early October. A young boy at the age of 11 with pale skin and freckles was frolicking in his neighborhood park about a block away from his house. He wore his favorite pair of blue jean overalls with a yellow and olive striped shirt underneath. He loved being outside and spent most of his time at his neighborhood park. His normal routine after he got off the bus from school was to go home, eat a snack of some sort, change into his play…

instincts. Rhinoceros adds another layer of character complexity due to the transformation into rhinos. Due to these challenges my hired actors will face, rehearsals will begin with basic techniques as actors build absurdist skills from the base upwards. Voice exercises will be used to allow each actor to discover varying energy levels and how to deliver lines with certainty. They will become familiar with using unusual silences and pauses that are used thoroughly throughout Rhinoceros.…

All rhinos are grey even though they are named white or black. The difference between a white and black rhino, is the black rhino has a “pointed upper lip”(White Rhinoceros, 2015). Their diets are also different, with one of them eating grass and the other eating tree leaves. How do these amazing animals tie into my book? The main animal in the book Big Game is Rhonda, the white rhino who is being targeted by a poacher…
