Slow Cow

The Sami People, Reindeer, and a Shared History My ancestry stems from many countries within Northern Europe, but the largest portion of my lineage descends from Norway. My Norwegian ancestor immigrated to the United States in the early 20th century from central Norway. Thanks to the internet and ancestry search sites, my American family has recently reunited with our Norwegian family and so forth our roots. I was lucky enough to travel to Norway almost ten years ago to visit my new extended…

At the same time the reader is given the impression that everyone will have love taken from them by the reference of the emptied town from where the people came to sacrifice the cow, “Is emptied of this folk, this pious morn?” (line 47). The conclusion is summed up with the fifth and final stanza where he returns the reader to the real world, “Thou, silent form, dost tease us out of thought” (line 54). And reminds the reader…

Could the answer to ending world hunger really be by ending the consumption of meat? Could the answer to ending global warming truly be by ending the consumption of meat? Two huge issues we have on this planet, could be solved with such a simple answer. According to a research done by Aprohaska, the number of people who die of starvation this year will be 60 million people. The number of people who could be adequately fed, with the grain saved if Americans reduced meat consumption by 10%, will…

testing products on animals is not necessary. In my opinion, if you wouldn't use it on yourself you shouldn't test it on animals. If you're putting stuff in products that you feel the need to test on animals first, then maybe we shouldn't be using those damaging things on ouself. Animals all over the world are being treated wrong and held in captivity for product testing and it's become part of their daily lives to be hurt and even ‘tortured’ with all these different products. Most companies…

Lennie is not the brightest guy and he’s sort of slow; basically he’s a child in a man’s body. George has to constantly instruct Lennie on basic behavior. For example, Lennie wasn’t suppose to keep mice any longer because he would pet them too hard and he would kill them. When George found out that Lennie…

animals in relatively small camps for their horns has nothing to do with conservation but everything to do with factory farming. Farming with the rhinos for their horns could turn the iconic species Big Five species into a mere animal lie a chicken and cows. Again, Rhinos to take years to mature and the size of the horn does matter because they don’t take the ones of calves.

Changes in climate will have damaging consequences, such as flooding and increased worldwide storm activity, which can be prevented only if humans get involved. Media may portray emotional stories to fear society into beliefs. Evidence will be proven for each…

Walking in the hallways/ stairs Walking in a school hallway during passing time can always be a hassle. People like to stop and talk with their friends, play around, and walk very slow. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people stop while there is a group of other people behind them trying to get by. Also I don’t like when people walk side by side and take up half of the whole hallway space. Another pet peeve is when people walk on the left side of the hallway when they’re supposed to be on…
