When he finally got the courage to shoot the lion he hit him once but the lion unfortunately ran into the tall grass in the safari. Even though he had the chance to chase the lion into the grass Macomber decided not to go into the grass to finish the lion off (15). The Next day, Francis is gaining a measure of courage as he engages in a standoff with a charging water buffalo, “get a little broadside and take him in the neck just behind the ear” (hemmingway23). Mrs. Macomber realizes that if Francis continues to prove himself strong and willful and courageous, he might leave her and rid himself forever of her sharp-tongued ridicule. Macomber is a coward and perhaps he doesn't deserve his manhood when he achieves it and maybe that's why he dies.
Since we were not able to cross the road we little bucks could only search for food in the low lying areas where there was almost nothing left growing. The dogs had taken most of what was left. The dogs didn’t like us very much always picking on us younger deer but they sure howled and ran when dad was around throwing his horns around. I hope someday my horns get to be that size. My older brother is always telling me how my horns will not grow unless I do something dangerous and heroic to make them grow.
Byron Jackson Literary Essay #1 Outline Thesis: Although Rainsford, in “The Most Dangerous Game,” killed Zaroff in the end of the story, he will not become another human thirsty “Zaroff.” * In the beginning of the story Rainsford has a hardhearted attitude for the animals he hunts but this changes as he meets Zaroff and is no longer the predator but the prey. * No remorse from Rainsford is shown by the way he talks with his friend Whitney, on the ship, about hunting jaguar. (68) * Whitney did believe that jaguars could fear while Rainsfords argument was “Bah! They have no understanding.” * When Zaroff invites Rainsford in and tells him he hunts humans to fulfill his “addiction” to the hunt, Rainsford is bewildered and anguished. * When Zaroff says “Surely your experiences in the war—,” Rainsford does not even let him finish before saying “Did not make me condone cold-blooded murder.” * He continues to say “Thank you, I’m a hunter, not a murderer.” * Zaroff talks constantly about his hunts and how they bored him overtime.
Sometimes, infants have been captured for illegal sale to zoos. Because female Mountain gorillas are very protective of their babies, poachers often have to kill the mother or even an entire group of animals in order to take one baby But the main reason why they are endangered is habitat loss. The countries where the Mountain gorillas live have the highest human population densities in the world. Because there is a lack of farmland in these areas, every acre that is not protected has been farmed. People remove the forests in order to create new farmland for

They called Roosevelt to the site and suggested that he should shoot it. He refused to shoot the bear himself, deeming this unsportsmanlike, but instructed that the bear be killed to put it out of its misery,[3][4] and it became the topic of a political cartoon by Clifford Berryman in The Washington Post on November 16, 1902. [5] While the initial cartoon of an adult black bear lassoed by a handler and a disgusted Roosevelt had symbolic overtones, later issues of that and other Berryman cartoons made the bear smaller and cuter. [6] Morris Michtom saw the drawing of Roosevelt and the bear cub and was inspired to create a new toy. He created
While eating dinner together the first night of Rainsford being on the island he is asked by Zaroff to join him in his new hunt. When Rainsford finds out that he is hunting humans, he turns him down because he says that is wrong, but going back to what he said earlier “’Who cares how a jaguar feels?’"(Connell) Rainsford will be struck with the reality of knowing the feeling of being hunted. “His first thought made him feel sick and numb.”(Connell) I believe that is when Rainsford finally realizes that animals do feel that they are being hunted. After Rainsford is let go the first time, he ends up winning the hunt and finally realizing that animals do feel being hunted. Connell does a good job getting his point across that when being on the other side no matter what, Rainsford for example does shows that you can feel being on the other side.

An out of control elephant was ravaging the bazaar. So he loads up his rifle, which he says is “too small to kill an elephant, but the noise might be useful for scaring him off” (Orwell, 1936) In my opinion, the right thing to do because I do not condone the killing of helpless animals, if the situation can be controlled. As soon as Orwell gets to the elephant, after some gruesome images of a coolie being trampled by the elephant, he has to make up his mind whether or not to shoot the elephant, which is minding its own business by now in a field a few yards away. Now as the natives and townspeople are following him, basically egging him on to shoot the elephant. Something he clearly does not want to do, he feels the pressures of looking like a fool versus not.
