Nearly everyone in the village fights against these dragons, including the leader, Hiccups father, Stoick the vast, who is well respected and brave. Unlike Hiccups father, Hiccup is considered weak, and clumsy. These steps reflect modern culture because Hiccup didn’t really make good decisions and didn’t listen to his father a lot. In ‘The call’ Hiccup didn’t make a good decision by going and hunting dragons by himself and he didn’t listen to his dad because his dad warned him not to go by himself but he refused to listen. Also, he shouldn’t have gone close to Toothless because those kinds of dragons are very dangerous, but he got lucky with

For example, throughout the story there is a huge underlying theme that involves Rufus Weylin, a main character of the novel and how the environment shapes him into the man he is at the end of the novel. Kindred starts off with Dana, a black woman, who by some mysterious means is sent back in time, to the days where her ancestors were alive and enslaved by Tom Weylin, a southern plantation
The novel "Kindred" raises the question of the limits of human morality, particularly in the face of a society that condones slavery and encourages hate crimes against black people. In the story, “Kindred” the reader experiences the harsh setting of a society with slavery from the perspective of a black woman named Dana who experiences and watches horrid actions being committed against her fellow kind.

The title, “Kindred” itself means Family, which is the main theme the author wants to convey with her realistic details
In the book ‘Beowulf,' it becomes evident why the dragon is enraged after it is mentioned, "the might beast, / slept in those stone walls for hundreds of years; runaway slave roused it" (Beowulf 32.2279-80). The Dragon was angered because his treasure was stolen and he was awakened, so he flew above the town and thrashed his flames. The monsters fighting out of rage and anger not only adds to their characteristic of evil but also intensifies the battle. Although the monsters are displayed as vile creatures who show no mercy, they have a logical reasoning for their
One of the most common pets for people to keep is a hedgehog. The main reason for this is how easy hedgehogs are to care for. All it takes to keep them happy is a clean place to sleep and an adequate supply of fresh water and food. However, this doesn 't mean that they don 't need regular attention from a veterinarian. A sad example of this occurred recently when one rescued hedgehog made the news because it developed a rare disease from not being cared for properly.

The Dragon - The Hobbit Dragons in the hobbit can be found both literally and figuratively. Depending on your perspective you may interpret Smaug, Thorin, or any one of the other dwarves as the dragon. However, I think each one of these characters contains an inner dragon, some more than others. Greed is a common trait that dragons can symbolize and it is present in many of our characters.

In ancient times having exotic pets meant you had a lot of power people of the era would have anything between a crocodile to an elephant.

If they had a mammal to cuddle up with and have wake them up every morning they would have thought it was cooler than some bugs.
