In the expert A Lion Called Christain by John Rendall and Ace Bourke, it shows a relationship between a wild animal and two men bonding together and showing the real hardship of caring for a wild animal. Another expert is A Street Cat Named Bob by James Bowen that shows how an animal can have a great impact on one’s life. Some appropriate roles that species can play in society can be viewed in the passage of A Street Cat Named Bob. In the passage

Low confidence can be resolved by animal therapy which has been used in this novel. When Zoe was feeling low her mother broth her an animal she loves and Zoe knew it right away “you’re bringing the chimps?” (139) after the visit of these animals, Zoe was smiling as she had never smiled.

    The birth of a child seems natural to the physicians that help with the delivery process. Yet, religious midwives believe that it is a natural miracle caused by God. Unlike naturalist, the Christian, Fall, and Redemption (CFR) approach adopts the Godly and natural view. According to author Angela M. Sabates, the naturalist approach is that reality compromises material substances, and the immaterial (God, soul, mind) either does not exist or is irrelevant to an empirical investigation because it cannot be measured. The unseen is a hoax that cannot be proven real. Evidently, the reality of naturalism consists of observable facts and solid material explanations. Life origin, the purpose of life, self-seeking tendencies, fundamental need for…

    Although Rowena was very ill at a very young age, she managed to have happiness in her life because of animals that has helped her push through the tough times in her life and to help forget about her illness as the author states, “Why do the rabbits have to be killed? Because they were hers.” (Findley 17). This represents how animals throughout the novel had a significance influence on the characters especially Robert and Rowena and the relationship between them. While in Lethbridge, the BSM (Battery Sergeant Major) orders Robert that he must shoot the horse, where another innocent life is taken. He is scared as he “stood there with his trousers open leaning in above the toilet with his hand against the bulkhead. Nothing happened. His bladder, like his mouth, dried up” (Findley 64), shows how he was unable to urinate due to being too afraid. Robert is very anxious and struggles to aim at the horse, “Jesus; for Christ’s sake die. I need more light, he said. He was shaking; his voice of full anger” (Findley 68). As Robert kills the horse, he has an image of a falling chair reminding him of Rowena’s death. This affects Robert in the war where mistakes cannot be made, especially on the battlefield. In one of the scenes in the novel, Robert encounters a coyote in a valley where it start drinking water from the pond. It then turns directly to Robert, acknowledging him then entire time. This clearly proves the type of relationship Robert has with animals, as he is able to somewhat communicate with them. Most animals would rush towards a human being once seeing them in their sight. Roberts connection with animals throughout the novel is a key representation and how animals have impacted him positively and negatively. Each of the animals he encounters always reminds him of leaving home and how the death of sister was the sole reason he decided to enlist to…

In the Antebellum America, some African American made the white Jesus as anti-slavery hero and visioned him very close to the point that they made him a servant who suffers and gets persecuted. In the age of Imperialism, some African American civil activist made White Jesus as an issue of race, while some through their artwork an oriental face of Black Jesus. While there are few similarities before and after civil war, some African American views are very different. Antebellum some African American see Christ as a hero, but Imperialism African American see Him as a problem.…

    The short stories “The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst and “My Brother’s Keeper” by Jay Bennet are both realistic examples of family dynamics and how they can affect the way siblings treat each other. “The Scarlet Ibis” demonstrates how older siblings tend to feel the need to assist or help their younger siblings in things they cannot do, often leaving the younger siblings codependent on the older siblings for everything. In comparison, “My Brother’s Keeper” demonstrates how trauma can lead to siblings leaching to each other and becoming reliant, more often one more than the other. Even when two people are not siblings but are close, one person can become codependent on the other, Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is the prime example of this.…
