and as cold in every part as I ever was in my life
(De Voto 240). At noon, the party halted on the
top of the mountain to warm and dry themselves a

They were able to hike six more miles before
setting up camp. Here, they were forced to kill a

Protecting Our Lands Valuable Purpose In Keeping Balance Animals
831 words
As a woman and animal lover, I could understand
Joy William's feelings and motives in The Killing
Game. Ms. William's believe that hunting or
killing of animals is "murder, murder, murder." In
this essay she states point blank that she is
completely against hunting of any kind and for any
reason. I can sympathize with her love and
appreciation of animals, as I am a true animal
lover and enthusiast. I am also, however, a
rancher who Ms. William's ridiculed in her essay.
I firmly believe in huntin...

Many years ago, groups of hunters organized
together and lived in the area now known as
Zimbabwe. Over time this group of hunters were
slowly taken over by a more powerful group of
people called the Shona who spoke on of the many
Bantu languages. The Shona moved in to Zimbabwe
around the time of Christ. They raised livestock
and farmed on land that they used the slash and
burn technique to clear. By 1500 A. D. Zimbabwe
was ruled by the Shona by kings known as
Munhumutapa's. These rulers ruled un...

Animals That Are Targeted Captivity On Fur Killed

"Every year, the fur industry is responsible for
the miserable lives and painful deaths of nearly
40 million animals. Many are suffocated, drowned,
or beaten in the wild; however, others are gassed
or electrocuted to death on fur farms. These
animals endure unspeakable cruelty (fur
statistics). " To kill the animals for the fur to
keep ourselves warm is wrong. There are many
alternative ways to keep us warm. It does not
necessarily mean that we have to wear animal skin
to keep ourselves warm. Th...

A Mirror Has Two Faces: Connecting with Our Animal
Nature in I remember watching nature shows on
television and seeing natural predation. There on
the screen lions stalk, chase, kill, and eat their
prey. A true vision of animal nature. Humans are
also animals, therefore, possessing animal nature.
This animal nature can be witnessed every fall as
thousands of hunters across the United States
forge into the woods to stalk, kill, and eat their
prey. Most hunters even display the heads of their

Then close it up and let God weld the whole. Then

American men. This is the cry of their suppressed
women, wives and daughters. Women cry for equal
treatment in the workplace, in the home and in
every aspect of society that notices a gender
difference. Our cries are heard, slowly. Men stop

William Faulkner Feel Guilty
1,327 words
William Faulkner's novelette, The Bear, is perhaps
the most widely discussed of all his writings. In
understanding the story, the role of Isaac
Mccaslin should be reviewed and understood since
The Bear is his story. Critics have thoroughly
examined and commented on many different aspects
such as the wilderness theme, the relevance of
chapter four to the rest of the story, and how the
symbolism works. Upon reviewing criticism, you can
discover that several critics share the same
opinion of Isaac ...

Fugitive Slave Law Harriet Tubman
1,275 words
The Underground Railroad was a secret pathway
organized by abolitionists -- many of them free
blacks and Quakers. Its purpose was to help
runaway slaves escape to freedom in the North or
in Canada. Often, the passage to freedom followed
natural boundaries, such as a river. Usually,
slaves relied on secret helpers in towns scattered
along the route to freedom. These "conductors"
would help a slave move from one safe house to
another, usually under cover of darkness. One
daring conductor, Harriet ...

Survival Of The Fittest Human Beings
1,201 words
History is replete with separate classifications
of the human world and the realm of the wild.
Hunters, Philosophers, and writers throughout time
have drawn a fine distinction between the wild
world and the world of Homo sapiens. However, is
this distinction merely a justification to make
hunting a morally correct endeavor? Perhaps
mankind rationalizes the ultimate goal of the hunt
in order to provide himself with a loophole or
scapegoat-a way to ultimately separate his
existence from other non-...

Macbeth Vs Lord Of The Flies

History has shown lifes mercilessness with the
strongest surviving. In this game of survival,
dishonorable tactics are used to climb the ladder
swiftly with aspirations of attaining the pinnacle
of power. Honesty and morals must be a mere memory
if personal profits are to be achieved at a rapid
pace. As a result, corruption and ruthlessness
grows variably with the desires and cravings that
haunt a persons psyche. Both Macbeth and Lord of

Lord Of The Flies Ralph And Piggy
1,101 words
Man must have rules in order to control his savage
side. William Golding brings out this theme in the
novel Lord of the Flies. When you first read Lord
of the Flies you may think it is merely a simple
adventure story of boys on a deserted island. But
if you take a deeper look into it and consider the
statement above you will see that this book is
also an attempt to trace the defects of
civilization back to the defects of human nature.

Gilgamesh And Enkidu Bull Of Heaven

True friendship is egalitarian. Everything is
shared, loyalty to the friendship is equal, and
the basis of the camaraderie is wholly altruistic.
The friendship between the king Gilgamesh and the
man of the steppe, Enkidu, was not a true and
equal friendship. Loyalties and sacrifices to that
friendship were disproportionate. Friendship is
conveyed in more than one way in Gilgamesh. The
companionship between Enkidu and the animals of
the steppe is the first example of friendship.
Enkidu lived with...

Killed His First Hunt And Kill Jack

In the novel Lord of the Flies, Jack is the
character that goes through the most change of
anyone throughout the story. He begins the novel
as a somewhat arrogant choir boy, who we actually
see cry when he is not elected leader of the
island. Golding describes Jacks physical
appearance as so, Inside the floating cloak he was
tall, thin and bony; his hair was red beneath the
black cap. His face was crumpled and freckled and
ugly without silliness (p. 20) Jacks original
feelings were to keep an or...

End Of Innocence Contemporary Authors

The ability to create characters of depth plagues
many a contemporary writer. Many of those writers
should look to William Golding for expertise on
this issue. Golding diverges from the path of
contemporary authors and sets an example of how
character development should be accomplished in
his novel, Lord of the Flies. Golding's Ralph
exemplifies this authors superior style of
character development in this novel. At the
commencement of the novel, the author introduces
Ralph as an innocent boy far...
