Boy Who Cried Wolf
The Boy who Cried Wolf
Once upon a time there was a yong shepered boy who cared for the village sheep. The boy thought being a shepered was very boring. One afternoon, while standing at the top of the hill, looked down on the village and said, “I never have any fun. The villagers get to work together, and talk, and play, but I am all alone on this hill.” Then he had an idea. “I know how to have fun,” he thought. “WOLF! WOLF! HELP! The wolf is chasing the sheep!” The hardworking people of the village heard his cry, and came running up the hill to help him. However, when the villagers reached the top of the hill, they didn’t see a wolf. The boy laughed in the excietment he caused. “Boy, don’t cry wolf, if there isnt a wolf. What is wrong with you?” said the village elder. The crowd walked away, shaking their heads. The next afternoon, the boy was caring for his sheep at the top of the hill. He watched time pass by slowly, and he said, “I am more bored today, then I was yesterday.” He remembered the excietment yesterday, watching the angry villagers faces when they got to the top of the hill. So he shouted, “WOLF! WOLF! The wolf is chasing the sheep!” again, the villagers ran to the top of the hill, and saw that the boy had tricked them yet again, and they were very angry. “Save your cries for real danger, don’t cry wolf when their isnt a wolf!” Later that night, the boy sat on the top o the hill, counting the stars. Then he looked down, and saw two red eyes. He shouted, “WOLF! WOLF! HELP!” The villagers were awaken, but decided not to help him, because they thought he was going to trick them. While the villagers went back to sleep, the wolf ate the shapered boy, and chased all the sheep away.

    A young deer has strayed away from her herd and is innocently grazing on grass. Ten yards away, a hungry wolf pack slowly stalks toward the fawn after trailing her for days. The deer senses what's happening and darts away, but it's too late, the fawn is as good as dead. The snowy terrain works to the wolf's’ advantage, with their huge paws acting like snowshoes. The wolves advance as their strongest member leads the chase. The pups watch from the sidelines as the deer quickly tires out. The head wolf quickly latches on to the fawn’s nose and brings her to the ground. The deer thrashes as more wolves come and attack her. Not long after, the fawn gives up her fight and the wolves feast.…

    The Chosen Wolf, Adonis, stood overlooking the city as the brisk wind struck him in the face. The snow was so freezing that it felt like there were needles puncturing him with every step. He could see his breath in the chilly air around him. This was very outlandish to him, as he had come from a different world. He was from the planet of Takondwa. On this planet, the sun’s rays felt like hot coals scorching his fur coat. As the wolf was thinking about this, he realized he was getting too caught up with thinking about his home planet.…

    In a sort of short story style, Marie Howe illustrates a depleting family relationship between a father and his children in the poem, “The Boy,” through its many symbols. With no discernible rhyme scheme, the plot develops, climaxes, and concludes alluding to a short story but in poetic form. The speaker, discovered through clues within the poem, is the younger sister of the boy and she is listening and learning from the examples set by her brothers. There is no mention of a mother so the focus is kept on the relationship between the father and children.…

    It is amazing, ridiculous, and sometimes scary how the brain deals with trauma. It is also ludicrous to believe that your environment and how you are treated are not always believed to strongly affect children. The first story in this book is a very moving one. I thought it interesting and appropriate that that was his first child patient.…

    Having a hard time finding a job because you are “over qualified”? Well, not to worry, you are not the only one. According to Statistics Canada, one in every five people in the work force who have a university education are “overqualified”. Overqualified is defined as,” more experienced and educated than you need to be to do a particular job”(macmillan). In other words, all those hard years, and those thousands of dollars spent on higher education, won’t always pay off. In Adrian Wooldridge’s article”Dr. Dole Queue”, he claims that degrees have lost their value. Not only are students being ripped off financially, but, according to Wooldridge, they are also being stripped of their “best years”. For example, In 2008, according to the Bureau of Labour Statistics, over 10,500 Americans with PhDs or professional degrees were employed as “cashiers”, over 27,400 as shop assistants and over 4,700 as hairdressers, hairstylists or cosmetologists. In other words, Students spend many years and thousands of dollars trying to achieve their degrees, BA’s and PHD’s, and in the end, there may not even be a worthy pay off. With, more and more students receiving these degrees they are not befitting themselves, rather they are just simply neutralizing each other’s qualifications. Wooldridge argues that spending time in the workforce, rather then enrolled in higher education, it will benefit a person alot more due to the fact that the on hands experience is what will help you to succeed. In my essay I will demonstrate how Wooldridge argues that the problem with students spending more time enrolling in higher education is that they diminishes the value of their qualifications, which in turn causes it to become more and more specialized. It is clear that higher education is no longer as respectable as it has been in the past.…
