A shell’” (pg. 10). Ralph takes possession of the conch and identifies it as an object to call meetings with. This is the beginning of the democracy on the island in Lord of the Flies.

As you read Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go, you must infer some parts of the novel as the narrator leaves out crucial information. Both the characters and the readers are withheld from, crucial information that greatly affects the events in the novel that shape who the characters are. The purpose for the author and the guardians to withhold information from the reader and the characters is to mask the true identities of the characters in the novel, to establish a sense of individuality within…

doesn’t regard him as a normal “pet”. I will argue the social construct of “pets” is harmful because it results in humans treating animal beings unequally. Childhood stories, fables and television portray turtles as being slow and cautious, which gave me an idea of what to expect from owning him. When put in new environments, he is very cautious and easily startled. He will hiss and hide in his shell when almost anything comes near him. When I was kid, every time I reached my arm into his home…

Animals have existed as a part of the circus since long time ago. Circus is one of the place where these innocent animals are treated brutally and unwell, but people did not realize this and they are continually going to circus to feel entertained until today. The audience did not know that this innocent animals are mistreated behind the screen. Animals are not made for humans and it exist in the world for its own reasons (Alice Walker, n.d). Forcing animals to perform in circuses is an example…

After studying multiple views on animal testing I have come to realize my personal view has now changed since the start of my research. Before undergoing heavy study into animal testing I believed that all types of animal testing should be stopped, but now I believe that the idea is very beneficial and should only be done when the rights of the animal are considered. In the coming years, hopefully, more regulations can be passed to ensure that all animal’s lives are protected during…

A belief that I am very familiar with is when people buy, adopt, or breed their animals when they do not have the means to take care of them, or just do not care to take care of them. This is one of those things that I cannot get over. People are just so ignorant to the time, money, and care that goes into having an animal. All these people see are a cute face when they're little and then when the animal grows up they don't think about the needs and costs an animal has. I get that some people…

Animal Farm against their original, utopian ideas and more like Manor Farm under their human dictators. Throughout the book, the animals and their beliefs are constantly undermined by the pigs who lead their government, yet the animals do nothing to stop this and they, eventually, are living in no better times than when they worked for the humans, despite their initial goals. This proves ignorance can contribute to the political and social…
