Howie The Gorilla Analysis
Howie The Gorilla
Nehemiah Tynes

Day One It all started when our neighbor, Mrs. Longbottom, asked Jimmy, Peter, and me to babysit her pet gorilla. Ms. Longbottom had an immense amount of wild animals, including tigers, lions, and elephants. One night, we went over to the Longbottom's house. It was old and rustic. When I looked in the backyard, I saw a big hole in the ground. It was about thirty feet deep. I looked around for Howie. Then I heard a big roar. It was coming from upstairs. I went upstairs, and it was a mess. “Did Hurricane Katrina just pass through here?” I screamed as I walked into the room where the gorilla was kept. Jimmy replied, “The gorilla is really angry because I screamed in his ear to go down stairs.”

    Sarah Gruen’s Water for Elephants is an account of ninety-something year old Jacob Jankowski’s life, both in the present day, where he resides in a nursing home, unhappy with his living conditions and the old age that has robbed him of his freedom, and through flashbacks of when he was young, traveling with the circus.

    Isabelle Black Monologue

    Isabelle could have sworn that the man was drooling over her. She chuckled to herself, knowing that she had picked the perfect weakling to complete her plan. All of the sudden she stopped walking, for she felt something wet rolling down her leg. Isabelle slowly turned around to face whoever had the nerve to do this to her. Just as Isabelle had suspected, an innocent puppy had come over and licked her leg. Isabelle looked down at it, stared, and then screamed! “Whos is this?” Isabelle was stewing! Her hands were shaking all the way down to the tips of her black, matte, flawless fingernails. She bent down picked up the puppy, and yelled once more. “Whoever this beast belongs to please claim it now, or youĺl never see it again!” By now, Isabelle knew that she had everyone's attention, yet still, nobody said a word. For the last time, Isabelle shouted to the crowd as they stared at her in horror. “Fine then, say goodbye to the mangy mutt!” Everybody thought that Isabelle was going to kill the puppy, but to their surprise, she simply walked away with it. Nobody knew what she planned to do with it, but nobody had the nerve say anything. For the first time in a century, the streets of New York were completely silent, that was, until the owner of the puppy walked into the streets saying “Hey, has anyone seen my…

    Sara Gruen's Water For Elephants

    I decided to take a chance on Sara Gruen’s novel Water for Elephants, after reading the rave reviews of the book posted on several social media sites by friends and acquaintances. The truth is, it is summer and I am desperate for a distraction away from my recent obsession with Grey’s Anatomy reruns fueled by Netflix’s instant queue. So I purchased the book and slowly began retreating from my computer screen that stole 42 minutes of my day as I sat captivated by Dr. Owen Hunt’s passionate kissing. Moreover, my favorite animals are elephants, so from the title I was intrigued.…

    Three Little Pigs (First Person)

    Rodger and Petey came stumbling through the door pushing me aside and quickly slamming the door shut. “Help us!” screamed Petey. “With what?” I replied. Petey seemed winded for some reason, he was trying to get every ounce of oxygen that he possibly could. When he finally mustered up enough air to speak, the floor began to shake, the ceiling fan started rocking back and forth, the fire in the fireplace was stopped in its place, and the T.V dove into the ground. Rodger began to sweat and scurried under the dinner table. Still unaware of what was happening I yelled, “What is going on?” The house repeated its former action and shook again, this time the pots and pans crashed into the floorboards. Getting nothing from the other pigs I rushed to the window to see what was happening. As I peered out of the window I saw the villainous wolf.…

Small figures were everywhere, as we slowly went up a steep hill. When we got to the top water was all over the place. I had wondered why. KA-BOOM!!!!!!! We were going down the biggest hill ever! Water was getting in my hair. Markie, Lisa, and Randall were screaming at the top of their lungs. Thirty feet, twenty feet ten feet, SPLASH!!!!

    Personal Narrative: San Diego Zoo

    My mother had found a zoo online that was located in our city and decided that it would be fun to check it out. I had my doubts since I had always trusted well-known zoos such as the San Diego Zoo, but in the end I too decided it would be worth looking into. It was Saturday noon, when my mom, dad, and I left for the zoo. When we were halfway there we came upon a bumpy road scattered with rocks. My father told us that it was used in winter to keep the cars from slipping on the icy road. But I could only think of one thing at that moment, the immense headache which the constant bumping on the road brought me. I complained that we should’ve gone to the Humane Society. It was right near the house and there wasn’t a bumpy road we had to cross when…

    Attention Material: Ever since I was a little girl, I have gone to the buffalo zoo every summer. I have always been completely and utterly mesmerized by the huge animals to the right of the zoo entrance. Every time I go, still to this day, it takes a lot to persuade me to leave that exhibit. There is something so magical about these giant creatures. Something extremely intriguing. The way that they stand so tall, and present themselves so calmly. It’s almost calming just to be around this animal.…

    Hugo Eric Louis Van Lawick: Personal Narrative Of My Life

    As a child, I loved being outdoors and all animals. At the age of two, my dad brought me home a stuffed animal chimpanzee, which I named Jubilee. He gave me Jubilee because it was the first time that a chimpanzee was born at the London Zoo. That is when my fascination of chimpanzees began. When I was around eleven or twelve I had a dream that I was working with animals in the rain forest. And a little over ten years later that dream of mine came true.…

    Where I Grew Up

    Imagine a huge U shaped house built out of nice red brick and wood, sitting right o top of six bright green acres. In the back of the house we had a big deck next to a huge built in pool with an extra bouncy diving board. That’s where I spent most of my time trying to swim all the way to the bottom of our 15 foot deep pool. For many summers and birthdays we had pool parties. If we were not swimming we were out in our pasture riding horses. Our pasture was about two or three acres next to the house. We had 3 horses named Star, Chloe, and Cloud. My favorite was Star; he was all black with a white shaped star on his forehead. I was able to just jump on with no saddle or horse reins and ride him anywhere I wanted. I would just simply pull his mane right or left to make him turn. Not only did I love riding my horse but I had a huge Polaris quad. Riding the quad was some of the best times in my life as a child. I would hit huge bumps in our pasture and go flying in the air. But whenever my brother tried to do that with me on the back I would start screaming like a baby. I also use to chase our chickens around the pasture until one day a chicken couldn’t run anymore and I ran over it. I felt so bad! I didn’t kill it but a couple days later it died so I never chased a chicken after that. That wasn't the only time I killed a chicken. One time I was throwing eggs the chickens had and I threw on and there was a little baby chicken in it. I freaked out and buried it in the ground and put a little stick cross on top. We had many animals’ dogs, cats, chickens, fish, horses,…
