Most people shudder at the thought or sight of a Pit Bull and consider them vicious atrocities, but I will show that Pit Bulls are innocent and really are just misunderstood. I would like to give some facts, dispel some myths, and show the side of the breed that the media chooses not to tell. American Pit Bull Terriers were first introduced during World War I and World War II. The job of the Pit Bull was to deliver messages back and forth across the battlefield. Pit Bulls were first bred to bait bulls and bears as a sport back in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but soon became more commonly used as house pets due to their friendliness towards people (Brom, 1987-09, p.14).
Obedience was used in order to provide an example of how girls should act towards their superiors, in particular, their parents. A tremendous focus is on Little Red Riding Hood’s appearance as the superlative ‘prettiest’ displays, this leads people to be ‘fond’ and to ‘dote’ upon her, increasing her vulnerability as ‘predators’ are drawn to her or as Perrault wanted to show, men. Also, the repetition of the attributive ‘little’ alongside the common noun ‘girl’ highlights Little Red Riding Hood’s defencelessness. However, naivety is her ultimate downfall leading her to a grisly end. Despite the warnings that she should go straight to her Grandmother’s, Little Red Riding Hood becomes distracted by feminine pursuits, portrayed through the compound sentence “…gathering nuts, running after butterflies, and gathering bouquets of little flowers.” This emphasises her age and vulnerability as she isn’t aware of her surroundings and the danger they can impose.
The Pit Bull was thought of as the most reliable of any breed with children and adults. However, The Nanny Dog is now vilified by a media that seems to need a demon dog breed to frighten people and therefore sell papers, or maintain a viewing audience. Before pit bulls it was Rottweiler’s, before them it was Dobermans,
Stereotypes which are assumptions we make about an entire group based on observations of some members. We attribute observations to all members of the group whether it really applies to them or not. In 17 centurary when Charles Perrault wrote his original Little red riding hood steortypes of females, mothers, and men were all strong. Reds mother described as excessively fond of her daughter is a good parent who seems to be single although due to the fact she has time to bakes cakes she is also a female domestic. By having the woodcutters nearby the reader still has their masculine hero and the mad male being the wolf who can run fast, is strong and can easily eat a granddaughter and child.
That hero is Atticus, who fights for racial justice. Atticus seems like a sort of “Superman” in the county of Maycomb, as he does many things that other people don’t want to do or can’t do. For instance he is the one who has to take care of a mad dog who is loose on the streets, and he guns it down in one shot. People call Atticus names because he is not racist, and his daughter Scout retaliates against them. “Atticus had promised me he would wear me out if he ever heard of me fighting any more.” (99) Scout thinks.
(“Maya Creation Myth”) D. An important event in “The Coyote and The Hen” is when the coyote lies to the hen saying that a treaty has been signed so they could be friends. The Hen agrees to his lies and lies herself by saying a dog was coming to make peace as well, which scared the coyote away. The important characters would be the coyote and hen because the represent people who take chances. They both took a chance at lying and only one succeeded. The significance of this story is that life is full of chances but that doesn’t mean they are all worth taking.
In To Kill a Mockingbird Scout, Atticus, and Boo show courage. Scout Finch shows courage by being afraid and of her bravery. As Scout is a little girl she still has courage, “I kicked the man swiftly. Barefooted, I was surprised to see him fall back in real pain. I intend to kick his shin, but aimed to high.”(152) To me scout shows courage by kicking the guy without fear and knows their there would consequence.
“All glory will be ours if now we conquer this unprecedented foe and risk the woe that frightens others” (Tablet III, Column III, 46-69). The two brothers travelled to the woods, which Humbaba guarded, and with divine aid, triumphed over Humbaba. As a result Gilgamesh would gain the praise of a goddess, Ishtar. Ishtar attempted to seduce Gilgamesh but failed and to add to her humiliation Gilgamesh would mock her relentlessly with a song “Ishtar is the hearth gone cold, a broken door that cannot hold, a fort that shuts its soldiers out, a commandant who’ll only pout.” (Table VI, Column I, 41-44). The suitor goddess wanted reconciliation for Gilgamesh’s unbelievable disrespect; Ishtar pleaded, successfully, convincing her father, Anu, to unleash the Bull of Heaven.
Lennie is always hoping to own a ranch with George and dreams to tend rabbits. But it will be impossible because Lennie will forget how important it is to be careful with the rabbits and he will end up killing them. Here is where the author conveys the fact that Lennie destroys everything important when he touches it: “’Why do you got to get killed? You ain’t so
George’s dominance is also shown through a simile, “Like a terrier who doesn’t want to bring a ball back to his master” where George is the master and Lennie is the terrier. At the bunkhouse, we find words such as “white-washed” and “unpainted” contrast to the Edenic setting at the beginning. Foreshadowing is used throughout the book, such as how Lennie dies the same way as Candy’s
