This is my cat ‘‘Buttercup’’. You might wonder: Why that name? Well, when I founded him, it was unavoidable to match his muddy yellow coat with the bright flower. He had a mashed-in nose, half of one ear missing and eyes the color of rotting squash. According to my older sister, Katniss, Buttercup was the world’s ugliest cat but it did not matter, because I knew that in the bottom of her heart she was starting to love him. Besides, he was a great help at home, for he was a born mouser. So, we did not have vermin problems anymore. Furthermore, Buttercup was very special for me; he made me feel safe when I had nightmares during the…
1. Question: In what ways did the Industrial Revolution shape the character if the 19th century European imperialism?…
When Grendel fights Beowulf, the reader learns that the monster’s “time had come,” and he will soon die. What does this idea say about the Danish belief in fate? Write a short essay in which you show how the belief in destiny influences the thoughts and actions of the characters. Provide several other examples from Beowulf to support your position.I think Grendel would go back to Herot and want revenge. He would want to kill Beowulf for trying to kill him. Grendel would not like the fact the someone tried to stop him because he had been going to the hall for 12 years and no one could stop him.He would want to kill more Danes. Grendel is a monster and he expects people to be afraid of him and he wouldnt like it that Beowulf isn's scared.The best answer choice is B, becuase he drove alot of pain and suffering away when he had his battle with Grendel, because then the people didnt have to deal with Grendel going to the hall and killing people.When Grendel fights Beowulf, the reader learns that the monster’s “time had come,” and he will soon die.

It was an unusually hot April at the end of my seventh grade lacrosse career. I didn’t know it at the start of the game, but by the second quarter all of my hard work and hours of practice would pay off when I scored my first goal. I was wearing my freshly cleaned #3 blue and gold Brentwood Bruins jersey and had rubbed the black paint on my cheeks. I love how dirty the jersey gets by the end of the game, covered in mud and grass stains; it’s almost like the dirt on your shirt shows how hard you worked.…
Now I don’t know whose idea it was but we managed to get my dad’s truck keys to drive back to the house and grab the go-cart. Luke drove with Uriah and Hadassa, my neighbors, sitting next to him as Austin and I sat on the tail-gate, dragging our feet across the top of the dry dirt road. Now Uriah, who happens to be thirteen, is probably not the smartest kid you will ever meet. He’s home-schooled and doesn’t have the opportunity to hang out much with kids his age. His sister Hadassa is much like him; with maybe a slight bit more common sense as she is one year older.…
Link Technologies, a small firm located in San Jose, California, is currently engaged in the development, manufacture, and sale of high-speed fax modems for use in personal computers. The company was created in 1980 by Mr. James Lee, a researcher who was employed at IBM’s T.J. Watson research center, and two former graduate school classmates from Cornell University.…
The results in this paper can vary from different cats to use, but the variation will be slight. I expect anyone who observes and records indoor cats and outdoor cats to receive similar results such as me. I have been a cat owner for several years and for me to complete this research paper was worthwhile. In regards to advancement of this work, I believe repetition of this same sort of experiment will help further solidify the indoor cat vs. outdoor cat issue.…

In ancient Egypt, they held cats up high for poise and grace; they even had a goddess cat, named Bast (Bastet). When Egyptians lost their cat, they would mourn as if they lost a family member. To kill a cat, even accidentally, was an automatic death sentence. Cats were believed to be guardians of the gates of hell, and to prevent demons, ghouls, and spirits from escaping, and prevent them from entering homes of humans. So why people find this animal cute, adorable, and friendly is beyond me. Who would want a pet that was held up to be a god? That people have killed over and treated like a human? That is associated with hell and all its demons? Animals aren’t human, so these cats should be treated exactly like pets. Not equals, not “man’s best friend”, but an animal. You can’t take them everywhere with you like you can a dog, and if you leave them home, they may pee everywhere, claw up the couch, get into everything they shouldn’t, and make a ridiculous mess.…
One day, Toughie disappeared. We searched and called our beloved cat. Three days later, I heard him yowling up a tree during a fierce storm. A young man, who was unaware of the cat’s terrible reputation, climbed up the tree and rescued him. Toughie was so happy to relieve himself, he did not attack; instead, he drained his bladder for several minutes.…
I've had my stuffed dog Chewie since I was very young. He is a timeworn brown lab, with matted fur and one eyeball. Oh how I well never will forget the day he lost his eye. My mom accidently washed him in the high rinse cycle, apparently that is too much for his little body. The sound of the glass eye was banging all around in the washer, it sounded like there was a hailstorm going on in my basement. Poor old Chewie, that sure did put ten years on him though. Now that Chewie is no longer allowed to be washed, he smells of an old sock. Not one of those dirty socks that you would find at the bottom of your gym locker, but just a sock that has been worn and torn and for some reason you don't want to let go of it because you have made an emotional attachment to it. The sock has been with you during your ups in downs, kind of like Chewie and I. Chewie means so much to me that now I won't travel as long as he is coming, he has to experience it too. One time I left Chewie in Puerto Rico. Worst day of my life. The sounds of my crying were nonstop that whole plane ride home. You would have thought I was about to die or something, but no, I just lost Chewie. Don't worry though, my mom called up the hotel later and they actually found him, all hidden underneath the bed. They sent him home in a squarish brown package the following week. I swore to god that night that I would never ever leave Chewie anywhere again. Chewie is the only stuffed animal that gets the privilege to sleep next to me, he should feel lucky. I mean I can't even fall asleep without him, I've tried and it's not fun. I get nightmares. He is just so comforting to hold and I love breathing in the warm and soft old sock smell.…
Who would ever in their right mind want a cat as a pet? Cats are the most conniving animals alive and no one should even think to keep them as a pet. There are some people who have a large number of cats in their house at one time and continue adding to the number and that is just ridiculous. Cats can carry around a foul smell or odor and shed their hair which gets everywhere it should not be. There is also a lot of money that can be involved with investing in supplies, health and food for a cat. If anyone has a cat for a pet they should be ready to take full responsibility of the cat and all of the downfalls…
Pet animals are sometimes used for therapeutic reasons in hospitals and nursing homes. Patients have something to look forward to and talk about after a pet visit. As a result, there is a positive effect on the well-being of the patient.…
many breeds of dogs offer hypoallergenic choices. Not only should the size of the pet be relative to the size of the living space, but the habits and preferences of the animal and owner should be considered as well.…
I know people that consider their pets a part of their families. I strongly agree with that stance towards the animals we have in our homes. For me, treating a pet like a family member is a good lesson in responsibility. In addition, this attitude makes the animals we possess feel happier, and guarantees their being satisfied with our care.…
