Rhinoceros

not killing it but merely wounded it. The wound was not fatal, and the team tracked the lion for 40 hours before shooting it with a rifle, skinning the corpse, and cutting off the head . Targeting such creatures as Cecil, opponents contend, undermines conservation efforts by diminishing wildlife populations. "When an adult male lion is killed, the destabilization of that lion's pride can lead to more lion deaths as outside males compete to take over the pride," Jeff Flocken, North American…

protects him from getting involved in ideological struggle that Ionesco dramatizes in Rhinoceros. Indeed, his indecision and empathy eventually become the source of a kind of strength. Rhinoceritis is not an illness of the Right or the Left; it cannot be contained within geo-political borders. Nor is it characteristic of a social class. It is the malady of conformity which knows no bounds, no boundaries. Rhinoceros is certainly an anti-Nazi play, yet it is also and mainly an attack on collective…

“The golden agouti, like the rhinoceros, was in need of companionship” (Martel, 108). While the book never sounded as if it were written by a child, it was certainly not on the level of William Shakespeare. It was just right. “Tears flowing down my cheeks, I egged myself on until I heard a cracking sound and I no longer felt any life fighting in my hands” (Martel, 231). The language wasn’t written in a bland, distasteful manner. Every single word had a meaningful purpose, just as a member of a…

results in an injury of some comical fashion. She endures all when a great whale slams her into the side of a vessel, she plummets from a tree after a man saws it down, she plunges into the icy waters of the Antarctic through a broken ice cap, and a rhinoceros hunts her down and fling her into the sky. These rib-tickling sections make the audience happy and amuses theme, which strengthens the pathos of the…

rainforest however in a twenty-year span between 1985 and 2005 nearly one third of that rainforest was gone. In recent years the deforestation of the Borneo has gained international attention as we see species such as orangutans, pigmy elephants, and rhinoceros are facing extinction due to the deforestation of the islands. The main cause that White cites for the deforestation of the island is the establishment of palm oil plantations. At the time this article was written the island of Borneo…

The Nile river is in Africa. The name Nile comes from the Greek word Neilos, meaning valley. In an article written by Mandy Barrow, she says, “The River Nile is about 6,670 km (4,160 miles) in length and is the longest river in Africa and in the world. Although it is generally associated with Egypt, only 22% of the Nile’s course runs through Egypt” (Barrow). The Nile river was used for transporting trading goods, people, providing food and water, constructing pyramids, and nurturing animals.…

friends/relationships, ideas/views), is dependent on all the factors which prevent it as represented by Bernard as he is the key example of social incompatibility coupled in with the back lash as when Henry states derogatively "You cant teach a rhinoceros tricks". This quote in relation to teenagers represents the idea of how teenagers confine to societies norms, commonly through peer/social pressure (World State) and this pressure should be opposed as individualism prevents the problem of…

die from these intra-species brawls. William Shakespeare, highly commended English poet, playwright, actor, and fifth most influential person of the millennium wrote a total of 37 plays during his lifetime. Only one these plays contain the word ‘rhinoceros’. Macbeth, arguably the best tragedy ever written, was his only play that mentioned this horned mammal. Ironically enough, there is another hostile, belligerent, and ruthless being written about in this work. As you may have guessed, I am…

The Formosan Clouded Leopard, the Japanese River Otter, the Western Black Rhinoceros, and the Alaotra Grebe; what does each of these species have in common? They are all extinct. Extinction is not necessarily a bad thing like how most people know it to be. It is perfectly normal for species to naturally die off, but not at the rate that it is going now. There are natural abnormalities in the extinction rate, like with the dinosaurs and their meteor, but not this time. These species are just…

The Precedent of Mandatory Voting “Elections belong to the people. It's their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters.” In his autobiography, Abraham Lincoln said this when discussing the voter turnout among the general population (Cite1). The idea of mandatory voting is not a new one, dating back to the city of Athens in ancient Greece (Cite). Since then, the idea of forcing a nation’s citizens to vote…
