“I’m Not Scared” by Niccolo Amminiti. The title of the novel is ironic because it means a denial of fear‚ but is contradicted by experiences of characters‚ especially Michele. Michele says “I’m not scared of anything”. When in fact he is scared of many things. Most of which are imaginary such as ogres‚ monster‚ witches and so on. When he finds Filippo in the hole and who put him there‚ Michele’s fear gain a more realistic basis. However‚ even though Michele know he has a right to be afraid‚ he is

the theme of punishment scattered throughout. Many of the stories are based upon punishment and cruelty‚ partly because this book tells the story of how the Greek city states fight off the Persians time and time again. However‚ it is not only in battle it cruelty and punishment seen; the idea of punishment and cruelty for power‚ revenge‚ and control is seen throughout the entire work.

Pig Cruelty Around 1.3 billion pigs are slaughtered annually for meat worldwide. The majority of these are in East Asia‚ particularly China‚ which rears around half of the world’s pigs. They are usually slaughtered after 4-7 months. Pigs intended for pork are usually slaughtered 1-2 months younger than pigs for bacon. I think that the way pigs are being raised and slaughtered is corrupt and barbaric. Mother pigs; spend most of their lives in individual “gestation” crates that are approximately

animals are not perceived as superior or even equals to humans‚ they still have a right to be treated with dignity and respect. Animals are emotional beings that will suffer when mistreated. Humans often take advantage of animals for their own selfish needs; cruelty to animals should not be an option. Animals feel emotion and pain just like humans do. They experience love‚ anger‚ happiness‚ and pain‚ among other things. It’s believed that some animals‚ like dolphins and chimpanzees

When Morpheus asks him if he believes in fate he replies “No‚ because I don’t like the idea that I’m not in control of my life”. In the real world however you are completely in control of your life and your future will be constantly be altered depending on the choices and decisions which you make.

“All cruelty springs from weakness‚” said Lucius Annaeus Seneca. To me‚ this quote means that cruelty comes out from a person who is feeling weak. A big question people ask each other is “Why are people cruel to each other?” In John Steinbeck’s novel‚ Of Mice and Men‚ there are many incidents of cruelty. Cruelty appeared in the book when George yells at the mentally handicapped Lennie in the beginning of the book. This trend of cruelty continues throughout the book. Characters that were notably

Is it cruel to keep animals in zoos? In my opinion it is very cruel to lock animals in cages because their freedom is taken from them and neither are they able to run around in the wild. Instead they have to be stuck in the cages with little kids chucking rubbish at them at any time of the day. It is all right to put in a zoo endangered animals like the cassowary because the zoo looks after them and gives them food. But if the cassowary was in the wild it would get killed and make it more endangered
