What Is The Difference Between A Sick Horse And A Dead Bee?
The Elephants were playing against the ants in a soccer game. It was a close match, but when the ants’ star player dribbled the ball towards the goal, an elephant defender ran towards him, stepped on him and killed him. “What did you do that for!!” asked the referee. “I didn’t mean to kill him,” said the elephant. “I was only trying to trip him up.” An ant and an elephant shared a night of passion but in the morning the ant woke up to find the elephant had died. “Damn,” said the ant. “One night of passion and I have to spend the rest of my life digging a grave!” After a golfer found his ball in a deep rough, he took a huge swing, but hit a divot, so he swung hard again and …show more content…

Spiders • A guy was sitting in a bar one Monday afternoon, fascinated by the movements of a spider. He watched it as the spider came out of the kitchen, climbed up the wall, walked across the ceiling, around the chandelier and back down the opposite wall, coming to rest on the radiator pipe. It was the same story on Tuesday. The spider came out of the kitchen climbed up the wall, walked across the ceiling, around the chandelier and back down the opposite wall, coming to rest on the radiator pipe. By Wednesday the guy was so intrigued that he shared his enthusiasm with a fellow customer. “You watch,” he said, “any minute now a spider will come out of the kitchen, climb up the wall, walk across the ceiling, around the chandelier and back down the opposite wall, coming to rest on the radiator pipe.” Sure enough, within minutes, the spider came out of the kitchen climbed up the wall, walked across the ceiling, a round the chandelier and back down the opposite wall, coming to rest on the radiator pipe. “That’s amazing,” Said the other

    Although a representative of British power, the narrator sympathizes with the oppressed natives and their country but is forced to act according to imperial aims. When the narrator receives a call, he is commissioned to bring a runaway elephant under control. In order to defend himself in the case of an attack, he takes a rifle, which makes the natives think that the elephant is going to be shot. When the narrator arrives, he finds a peaceful elephant eating, which offers no danger. He feels as if he should not shoot, but there is the mass of natives, or as he calls “yellow faces” behind him that demand the police officer shoot the elephant. After an inner struggle, the narrator finally gives in to the power of the natives’ demanding and shoots. He has to fire several shots for the animal to die painfully. The officer cannot stand the sight and leaves while the natives have already started tearing the elephant apart. “The crowd would laugh at me. And my whole life, every white man's life in the East, was one long struggle not to be laughed at”. He admits that shooting the elephant was necessary as a means of demonstrating the power and ensure British…

(para. 4) The officer realizes the crowd is excited at the thought he is going to kill this elephant. Killing the elephant would provide entertainment and food for them. At the bottom of the hill the officer and crowd behind see the elephant across the road "peacefully eating." The officer knows the elephant has passed it's stage of "must" and not to shoot it. He decides to observe the elephant to see if the state of "must" has truly passed instead of shooting it. (para. 5 & 6) The officer has made up his mind until he "glances" at the immense crowd cheering him on and feels uneasy about his decision. The crowd would be angry and hate the British officer more if he did not shoot. The officer is faced with the decision of either shooting the elephant and pleasing the Burmese while appearing strong and dominating as a British officer or doing the right thing by not shooting the defenceless elephant.

    Bees are an intricate part of today’s society in the form helping to produce foods and also their contribution as insects play a valuable part in nature. There is a place, a southern village of Sichuan, China where bees no longer exist. Farmers meet every April with bamboo sticks and chicken feathers to begin pollination of their crops. This long and labor-intensive process the farmers endure is due to the lack of bees (Benjamin and McCallum, 11). Not only is this disappearance of the honeybees happening in China, but it is also being discovered all around the world.…

    BENEATH MY HOUSE

    I went down to the basement, looking for it with a flashlight, but, of course, at my step the untamed creature fled from the concrete-floored area and off into the earthen crawl space -- draped with spiderwebs as thick as cotton, a place of unpeeled log beams, the underside of the house. I put out milk in a saucer. I crouched on the other side of the furnace, and I waited until I fell half-asleep. But the kitten was too young to drink from a dish and never came. Instead, she set up, from just beyond where I could catch her, a piteous crying that I could hardly stand to hear.…

I woke up to what seemed to be the outskirts of city, in a pile of huge spiders.The downside was, I was tied up. I felt like spiderman in a way, being covered with spiders.

    Bentham’s idea of question-begging appellatives functions when the word or phrase puts forth ideological assumptions in an audience, or when the word or phrase pre-empts debate. Along with question-begging appellatives, Bentham has a concept of triplicate vocabulary, stating that there are dyslogistic, eulogistic, and neutral terms. However, Burke adjusts Bentham’s concept and states that neutral language does not exist (p.92). The phrase “save the bees” is a eulogistic question-begging appellative as the phrase deflects debate and directs the audience’s mind to a certain perspective. Taking the concept of triplicate vocabulary into account, “save the bees” consists of the word “save” which means to help or rescue, which in turn is seen as an approving term.…

    I was drifting off to sleep while listening to the summer night’s breeze, rustling the leaves on the oak, outside my window. It was peaceful, dreamy, and most of all, safe. I was almost asleep when a loud buzzing sound filled my ear. A disturbing annoyance cancelled all my thoughts of sleep, and it disturbed all the peace. Buzzzzzzzz... buzzzzzzzz... buzzzzzzz. Only a mosquito can make that sound. “How did it get in here?” I thought. Buzzzzz... buzzzzzzz. Then I saw it! It was clinging to the wall like super glue, waiting for me to just smack it. “On the count of three, I’m going to kill it. One… two… THREE!” SWAT! SWAP! SMACK! SWIPE! Ah, at last! Finally, I had put that little bug out of its misery—and out of mine. And I guess I’ll just clean it up (along with the broken lamp) in the morning…

Not long after, he came with 2 pieces of wood and a cage. He asked me where the snake was. I told him it was in the dining room. We walked slowly and quietly into the dining room.
