Some unscrupulous owners‚ taking advantage of its natural tenaciousness and strength‚ continue to use abusive training techniques to produce fighting pit bulls‚ willing to take on any animal‚ and even humans. Therefore‚ pit bulls are said to be popular with irresponsible owners‚ who see these dogs as a symbol

    The Pit and the Pendulum is a book written by Edgar Allen Poe in 1842. Years later‚ in 1961‚ a movie was made. Directed by Roger Corman‚ the film is a lot different than the movie‚ though it does have a few similarities. One of the few similarities is the pendulum sequence. When Francis is strapped down to the “bed‚” the pendulum comes inches closer and closer‚ slowly‚ as in the book. Right as it’s about to kill him‚ he’s saved. Another similarity‚ though minor‚ is the involvement of a pit. A

    For The Love of Pit Bulls Pit bulls are just like any other loyal breed of dog. Just like the other breeds‚ pit bulls are only dangerous if they are raised to be dangerous.

The pit bull breed originates from England in the 1800s. These precious animals were initially raised and trained to fight for entertainment. Around “1835

    Love is a powerful force that drives one person to draw a deep affection towards another. When analyzed‚ the short story entitled "Love in L.A.‚" by Dagoberto Gilb‚ shows how one can see many reasons in seeing irony and even satire by the story’s title.

To me‚ art has never been about expressing oneself or conveying a message to others‚ but simply creating an image for the sake of beauty and perfection. When I look at the Pieta I see a cold‚ solid mass of marble carved
