A male lion is a very prideful animal that is independently strong. Its best friend is usually his siblings and they have zero care for anybody else with the plan of taking over everywhere they go. They fight for everything they want but know how to accept defeat. They are forced at a young age to become adults so naturally they are born with the mind set of a natural born leader. They resemble their father from all aspects such as hair, body type, attitude and survival instincts. A young cub is taught to never back down and do whatever it takes to protect his family. A lion fears no man or beast but it also knows when and when not to attack. I am the youngest sibling of three brothers, many cousins and family friends around their age so I learned quick how to stand up for myself. My two older brothers are four and six years older than me; so defending myself and providing for myself is something I perfected …show more content…
He built and exact replica of himself when raising me. His hobbies are my hobbies, i enjoy doing everything he does. My mom explains to my brothers and i about when my dad was our age he was built like an ox with the perfect muscular that everybody dreamed of. Like myself now, he loved to workout. He would put us in push-up competitions when we were younger against each other and first place could win a few dollars and back then a few dollars went a long way. I read a quote that said “ If you give a man a fish then he’ll eat for a night but if you teach a man to fish then he’ll eat for a lifetime.” The same way the leader of the jungle teachers his young cubs to survive, my dad did the same thing. He gave me my first fishing reel, taught me how to hunt, then taught me how to clean and cook everything I caught. We both count down the months until it is warm enough to fish and when it is legally allowed to kill. The only difference between us is I grew up playing sports but he is still my number one
As for myself growing up in a family of three boys and being the middle child, my father taught me to defend myself yet I now know that I should have learned much more. When I was a toddler and even when I was in high school my father would tell me to defend myself. I wasn’t afraid of anything because I had no idea what was really going on. The only thing I was taught was to act immediately, right when someone attempted to harm me and when it came down to it, I knew my older brother Julian was there to
Patrick Lewis, the protagonist in the story, In The Skin Of A Lion, goes through an internal change in his beliefs and in his personality; these changes can be noticed throughout the novel. Patrick goes through relationships throughout his life that end up manipulating his view of other’s actions. These key personality changes can be found in the relationships that Patrick had with Clara Dickens, as well as his relationship with Alice Gull. Michael Ondaatje, the author, clearly shows the mental change that Mr. Lewis endured, by showing his compassion and caring with Ms. Dickens; then his attitude changed once Alice influenced him. Nearing the end of the story the change becomes obvious, with his need for revenge, and the interpretation of his attitude with his final actions in the novel.

Growing up my father taught me everything I know. I remember him working on the house every Sunday. I being the child I was would always attempt to lend a hand even if it was only handing him a screwdriver. One Sunday he would be working on the stoop, the next week fixing up the cellar, after that maybe adding a few finishing touches to the porch. There was always some addition to make the house better. My mother would always say “there’s more of him in that front

In many cases Savannah cats are known for being cute, furry and cuddlable but we need to respect them in their natural behavior tendencies to provide them a suitable stimulating environment. By doing so we have to encourage environmental enrichment for the physical and mental health for these Savannah’s.

These cats tends to get physical, physiologic, and behavioral disorders for stress and lack of stimulation. It can cause these species to do urine marking, house soiling, owner directed aggression, behavioral over grooming, displacement activities and reduce comfort behavior. For Savannah cats are a cross between

When studying a novel it sometimes helps to look at the language used in a specific passage. In the novel In The Skin of a Lion by Michael Ondaatje, this approach is extremely helpful. It will help you better understand the characters and give you a clearer idea of what the author is trying to say. Within the novel, the passage entitled “The Skating Scene,'; where Patrick observes the loggers skating late at night, is stylistically interesting. By looking at metaphors, symbolism and diction, we can gain a better understanding of the characters and make connections within the scene and then to the novel as a whole.
In the last 30 years since the lionfish first appeared in the Atlantic Ocean, they have become a destructive nuisance. The lionfish species which are native to the Pacific Rim and Indian Oceans are now invading the Atlantic and Caribbean Oceans, eating any fish that can fit into it's mouth. Scientists don’t believe the invasion will ever be completely eradicated, however if the problem is recognized there are steps that can be taken to try and contain this invasion at a manageable level. Through education, fishing or hunting of the species and by teaching other species to eat the lionfish, there is hope humans can gain control over these invasive creatures.
My dad has always been there for me both as a parent and a friend. When I was little, my dad got involved in coaching in my little league baseball, basketball and soccer, and always made time for these father and son activities. We liked to play ball together and still do at times. My dad is a big sports fan and so am I, and I look forward to the weekends when we watch the ball games together. My dad started to take my to the ball games when I was about 5 years old, and we've been doing that ever since. But, playing ball isn't all that's important in life. My father has given me the necessary guidance and has taught me values as a person that have helped me develop from a child into a responsible adult. I want him to be proud of me too, and I know that he is.
First, meet Randy , my dad. He is 50 years old. He likes fixing old cars called ratrods, he is working on one now. He’s got the frame and the other part of the car that you sit in, there is no air conditioning, and the heat doesn’t work anymore, but he loves to work on it when he can get the day off from work. He also enjoys collecting rocks called agates. He looks wherever there are rocks, so we have tons of them. He likes watching Nascar, his favorite racer is Dale Earnhardt Jr. In his free time he likes to fish, hunt, and golf. A special memory I have with my dad is when we went to Agate Days in Moose Lake. We got geos and my sister took my dad's and the one he got didn’t have anything in it. I love my dad because he’s tough and we roughhouse and he’s my
My father was always there for me, whether I wanted him to be or not. Most of the time, as an adolescent trying to claim my independence, I saw this as a problem. Looking back I now realize it was a problem every child needs, having a loving father. As hard as I tried to fight it, my dad instilled in me the good values and work ethic to be an honest and responsible member of society. He taught me how to be a good husband. He taught me how to be a good father. He taught me how to be a man. It has been 18 years since my father’s death, and I am still learning from the memories I have of him.
I always think to myself, “What would I do if I didn’t have a father like him?” I think about it and then I say, “I would be in the cracks, not doing anything because there is no one here to keep me going and to keep me motivated.” My dad is an amazing cool person to me because he shows me that no matter what struggles he faces in his life or what happens to him, he always gets out of them and he has me and my mom to help him.
Growing up with two older brothers taught me to be unselfish, patient, and respectful. Being the youngest of three, I learned I would not always get what I wanted. I would have to be patient and wait my turn for a lot of things, such as the telephone and bathroom. I was glad that I was able to grow up with siblings to teach me these lifelong lessons. All three of us had to be respectful of each other or we would risk getting in trouble with my parents.
