Of the four bonds, the intimacy and nurturing bond appeared to be the strongest. The riders often spoke of their horses with affection, referring to the animal as they would a loved one. The friendship appeared two-sided. The horses would often nuzzle and interact physically with their rider. Their horse was a safe haven for the participants. They don’t judge or degrade the equestrian like another human would. One important note made by Yorke, Adams, and Coady was “riding appeared to be the center of the participants’ lives, defining who they were.”…
The stallion is the dad and the foals have their moms. The stallion [or the dad] protects the rest of the herd. The son of the stallion is the next leader of the herd. After the original stallion dies. The family sticks together.Sometimes mares lead a band of stallions. Each herd is like different families.horses like company because it makes them feel like they are in the herd. If you get one horse you should consider getting a friend for that horse: Like a cat or dog or even another horse. Mustangs and other horses welcome you into their herds [or their family].

“A Good Man Is Hard To Find” is written by Flannery O’ Connor. This cynical short story takes a dive into this family’s lives while they are on a road trip to Florida. During this supposed to be long-lasting vacation, the reader gains a grasp of each character and their personalities. As this ‘not so close’ family travels through Georgia, the grandmother and children convinced the father, Bailey, with their whining, to go off course to some house the grandmother remembers. Unfortunately, the grandmother forgot to mention that the detailed house she remembers is in Tennessee, not Georgia. At the same moment the grandmother’s cat latches onto Bailey’s neck as panic sweeps through when their car flips twice into a ditch. The overwhelming feeling of being saved arises as they watch strangers slowly pull up, quickly fades when the grandmother screams, “You’re The Misfit”. Throughout this story, both the Misfit and the grandmother are unable to see the truth about themselves and are in deniable about their self-concept. The grandmother is a self-deluded, manipulated woman who is convinced that she is a good person and comes from ‘good blood’ and her grandchildren, John Wesley and June Star, see right through it. Her son, Bailey, is only tolerant of her because she is his mother, up until her ignorance is too much for him to handle during the accident. The Misfit, a criminal and a murderer, is equally if not more self-deluded than the grandmother. Ironically, he has a seriousness about life’s meaning (of lack thereof) and a searching need to look below the surface of events that the grandmother lacks. It takes the murder of the grandmother’s family and the immanent threat of her own death to break through her hard shell of denial and open her eyes to her common humanity with the lowly Misfit at the end of the story.…
Nationalism can be defined as devotion to the interests or culture of one 's nation. Nationalism is shown everywhere, sometimes examples as small as Independence Day in the United States, or some as big as the French Revolution. Nationalism comes in both negative, and positive forms. The French Revolution, though many people were killed, helped France get to the way it is today, so can be considered a more positive form. A more negative example of nationalism is ultra nationalism.…
There are multiple references to a special connection between horse and rider in All the Pretty Horses that illustrate the essence of the cowboy fantasy. The author McCarthy establishes the importance of horses from the cover. The title of the book, All the Pretty Horses, defines exactly what John Grady Cole is looking for. It isn’t just horses, but all the pretty horses. It sounds like a description of a Western-style heaven. Once the boys’ adventure starts, it’s clear that the bond between each of them and their horse is special. When Blevins, who’s been established as probably stealing his horse, strips down to his underwear and abandons his horse to hide from lightning, it is described as standing in the rain looking like a “ghost of a horse” (70). There is just something wrong about a cowboy without his horse or vice versa. There’s a very romantic idea that they need each other and sort of belong to each other. When Lacey and John Grady take a break while fleeing the men from whom they stole back Jimmy’s horse, they sit to complain about how immature Jimmy is. What he just did has…
As I began to look at the environmental issues in the area in which I live I was amazed to find only one real issue exists. The air quality is the Knoxville Tennessee area is at a moderate level around 57% of the time. It is at an unhealthy level around 12.9 % of the time. This has an effect on all living organisms because of the air quality in which they breathe. With that said, it is important to note that the area is majority agricultural and has an abundance of water due to being connected to so many national park sites.…

The assumption that human-animal bonds can have positive psychological effects for the person investing into such a relationship (Bachi, Terkel, Teichman, 2011) has led to the establishment of equine-assisted therapy, which is a form of psychotherapy. It makes use of the framework of attachment theory (Bowlby, 1958) and assumes that horses can serve as…
