Taco Man Short Story
On the corner of 8th and main there’s a man who sulkily shows up every day, rain or shine, with his taco stand. It was as if the man was a denizen of 8th street. Each day there is also a dog that languidly shows up, a cordial little pug to be exact. Each day the dog stands in front of the stand, just until the vulgar man chases him away and screams to him “never come back”. However it seems as though the dog is oblivious to the man’s words. Each day the dog still comes back, even if he was scrutinized each and every day. One day, after being chased away the day before, the dog came back. Still with a gayety attitude. The taco man came out, and went through the normal routine of making sure the dog had went away, yelling as usual. However this

    My Kid’s Dog and Irony

    The dog soon dies and the narrator, told from the first person perspective, recounts the events of that day. After he finds the dog dead in the yard, he readily wraps him up in a tarp and buries him behind the family garden. Once back in the house, he second guesses his haste in disposing of the body. He soon returns to the burial spot and exhumes the body. With spade in hand, he sends it down on the dog’s head, releasing any doubts as to whether or not the dog was dead. The dog’s ‘revenge’ soon acts on the narrator again, this time causing him to think about what he would tell his children, and whether or not his excuse would make any sense. Once the neighbor calls informing him that there was a chance the dog could have rabies, it gave the narrator the perfect excuse to, once again, march out to the backyard and dig up the family dog.…

    Timothy is engaged and is a professor in San Antonio, Texas. Timothy is an avid runner “[who doesn’t run for health, but runs] to stay thin and [recently] to blow off steam” (Braun) due to the stresses of everyday life, such as the stress from work and the relationship with his fiancée. While out on a run one day, Timothy had stopped at an animal shelter to grab a drink of water from the fountain to cool down. Upon entering the shelter, he had encountered a “half husky and half Australian shepherd” (Braun) who had “one blue eye and one brown eye” (Braun). Timothy had no intention of adopting a dog that day. In fact, he didn’t adopt a dog that day. Timothy “thought about how much damage [a dog] could cause [in his] life (Braun). “The dog was nice, but having a dog would be like having a child” (Braun). For one reason or another, Timothy decided to take on the responsibility of adopting and caring for Dusty. The choice to adopt Dusty shows a nurturing characteristic of Timothy. Not only did Timothy decide to put his convenience aside, he took on an obligation showing a mature and responsible…

    Golden Retrievals Tpcast

    | Paraphrase) This poem starts out by introducing the speaker, which is a golden retriever. Mark Doty does this by writing about activities that dogs generally like to do, “Fetch”, “a squirrel who’s actually scared” and “sniff the wind” are all prototypical activities dogs spend their time doing.The second stanza continues this trend of articulating the dog’s various activities. But by the second line, the dog has shifted his attention towards the activities of his master. The dog is clearly disappointed by his owner’s lack of attention, and describes the owner as being “sunk in the past”.The third stanza goes deeper into the problems with the human mind. The dog is warning his owner that people spend too much time worrying about the future, and that it is up to the dog to bring the…

    I wake up in the morning feeling great. My cheese is perfect and I eat a healthy breakfast containing a piece of bread and a slice of my newly made fresh lamb cheese. I pack my rv, feed my pet, fill-up with gas and head out on the open road. My vehicle’s engine is purring almost like a kitten and I’m pleased to read a highway sign that sets the speed limit to 80 mph for the next 290 miles.

    Dog’s Death by John Updike really touched me when I read it for the first time. His use of imagery in this poem is very touching. He makes the reader relate to the death of the dog by showing through his words the emotions of what the dog is going through as well as what his owners are feeling. This paper will show how I think the author was trying to use imagery to show the love between the dog and his owners.…
