ELA 5 Character Essay Marley is an incorrigible mutt who was kicked out of obedience school. He is terrified of rain showers and rips a hole in the wall if alone. Marley tends to forget how to heel and can drag an adult until they have bloody knees. He seems to think that getting choked on his choker chain is worth it if he gets to be a foot closer to the poodle on the other block. Marley is the world’s worst dog. This 97 pound yellow lab is the Grogans’ family pet. He was a clearence puppy, $325 instead of $350. He is massive for a lab and petrifies a lot of people. He is all brawn and practically no brain. Marley always has a smile plastered on his face, unless someone is in danger. …show more content…

Once, the Grogans locked him in a cage and went out to eat and go shopping. When they came back he was in the living room, sticking his nose out the blinds and causing damage. He had gotten out by using his tongue to push the sliding bar out of place and opened the cage. Marley is sensitive. When the Grogans had a miscarriage, he consoled the not-to-be mother. Marley is very playful. He loves the babies’ diapers and snaps at them while sitting under their baby swing. Marley used to jump on people, until one of John Grogan’s coworkers kneed him in the stomach. He is also goofy. If he has something he is not supposed to have, you will know it and so will he. Marley does a “Marley mambo”, which is a shake from head to tail inviting someone to chase him and retrieve whatever it is that he

In her article “Goody Boy, Beau. Stay”, Anna Quindlen reflects that she learned to “roll with the punches” and to take life as it comes to her by watching her dog Beau grow up. She first developed this claim by talking about how Beau now needs prosthetics and has lost much of his sight and hearing, but still has the ability to recognize the sound “of a leash snapping” and to hide, as it means another trip to the vet. Even though Beau has nearly lost his senses, Quindlen points at how Beau takes it in stride. She also supports this claim with a story of how Beau accidentally rolled into a dead porcupine and had quills in him for weeks, but he persevered through.

In this paper, I will review Mary Anne Warren’s stance on the morality of abortion and provide my objection to her view that a fetus is not a human on the basis that a fetus does not contain the characteristics, generated by Warren, to be considered a Homo sapien; therefore, warranting abortion morally acceptable. The basis of my argument against abortion is on the premise that a fetus, by the Law of Nature, is to be protected and preserved since it is considered innocent and a human being, based on the idea that a human being is something bodily and physical, an individual and a being in time (Iglesias). Mary Anne Warren defines abortion as the deliberate action to remove a fetus from a human female’s womb per her request resulting in the death of the fetus (Warren 307). By identifying what is meant by abortion before furthering her argument, Warren clearly identifies the topic of her argument so that there be no confusion.

You wouldn't like that, would you?"

Candy's old dog, for instance, is judged offensive by the more fit members of the bunk house society - Slim and Carlson - and so the dog is killed. Candy can do nothing to stop this; he is weak, and in this world “the strong” survive. The dog himself is a symbol of the cruel fate that awaits the feeble and is used to foreshadow forthcoming events in the book. His crime is smelling bad, and though there are other solutions to this problem - a bath, a new place to sleep - Carlson insists upon killing him.

after re-reading some passages of Henry V, I noticed that Shakespeare presents two points of view on the topic of warfare throughout the play. On one hand, war is the means through which Henry can achieve his goal, i.e. invade France and claim the French throne, but, on the other hand, it has terrible consequences. In various passages, war is presented as being ennobling and patriotic. The clearest example is Henry’s famous St. Crispin’s speech, where he insists that the men who fight alongside him will become his “band of brothers” (4.iii.62) and that their victory will bring England honor and glory. However, Henry is a soldier and, therefore, he knows and has experienced the ugly effects of warfare.
