Recommended: An essay about wolves

There is once a land surrounded by perplexed mountains seemingly extending to obtain a grasp of the sky above. Lethargic darkening clouds looming over the ground below, displaying a sign of onerous rain. Due to a lack of sunlight the whole environment seem to have a powerful and gray appearance. Not too far north sustains a rather deep-rooted kingdom occupied with working wide-eyed sheep. A harsh wolf king once to rule over the sheep for so many years brought cruelty alongside his reign. Having oppressive laws, sheep are not allowed to criticize the king or they shall be executed. All rams have to spend half of their lives in the military (5 years).Years after the sheep bounded together and went chased the wolf out of power. They hope to achieve even distribution of food and water, along with political rights and free speech. They called it “Ariesism”.
They even changed the name of their kingdom they dubbed it, “Lamb Alliances”.
After the election for a new leader, Casimir the inconsiderate lion took charge over the country, and Alina the self-absorbed tiger is expelled from the Ariesist party. Numerous lambs protest that Alina should come back to the association once more. More and more lambs are outraged and demanded for what they thought was right. In return Casimir ordered brutal coyotes to arrest and slaughter any sheep that condemns him. Several sheep from factories and farms were dragged out to town square to be hanged on sight. Other sheep watched in horror as their fellow allies were killed. None of the sheep rested that night, hearing countless coyotes’ grotesque and off beat howling, “Long live Ally Casimir, let his reign last several centuries”.
The sun arose in brilliant cascades of scarlet and hues of burgundy. On...

...ment. The coyotes frighten the sheep by executing their whole family. Starving them, beating them until eventually they gave up and “confess” about what they did. These sheep where shipped to labor camps or have been executed.
Lions have twice the lifespan compared to a sheep . Yet Casimir lived even longer than any other lion in existence, though it seems. It would be almost impossible for a sheep to get pass of the age three through the almost rough conditions. The fog look like smoke and the air is almost too toxic for the lungs. Casimir’s once disoriented mess of a mane is now shriveled and gray. Each breath is getting strenuous; the very fibers of muscles in his limb were weakening. The sheep didn’t know what will happen next they could hardly tell which way was up or down. Minutes pass, the dense obscure fog and smoke drifted away and the sun shine once more.

  • Influences Of Trickster Tales And Creation Myths

    Often, the trickster finds his antics to come back and hurt him, due to greedy, conceited, or boastful behavior. These tales are told in a humorous manner, meant to entertain the reader, but are specifically designed to teach a lesson about human behavior or morals. One trickster tale, “The Coyote and the Buffalo,” is the quintessential trickster story, and uses a coyote as a main character, very popular for early Native American literature. It tells of a coyote that has gotten himself into trouble with Buffalo Bull, his enemy, and has made a deal to give the Buffalo new horns. To express his gratitude, Buffalo Bull gives Coyote a young cow on the condition that he does not kill it, but only cuts off the fat. Soon Coyote gets greedy, and kills the cow for the better meat. However, he is quickly outsmarted by a woman who offered to cook the bones. She ends up stealing them, and the coyote is left with nothing. He pleads to the buffalo for another, but the buffalo will not give it to him, “and that is why there are no buffalo along the Swah-netk’-qhu.”(Allen et. al. 52) The moral of this story is that having too much greed can leave you hungry, instead of full of the riches of life you can gain by listening and following the

    Religion often enlightens one with newfound reverence and respect. While caring for the wolf, the man finds both reverence and respect through a few spiritual encounters. As he is walking with the wolf, the man hears coyotes calling from the hills “above him where their cries [seem] to have no origin other than the night itself.” This represents the heavens calling out to the wolf to enter its gates. Once the man stops to build a fire, he seems to hold a ritual for the wolf. His shelter steamed “in the firelight like a burning scrim standing in a wilderness where celebrants of some sacred

    It was typical for the men to travel to the north first in order to find a job and set up the life for his family. In the town of San Geronimo, 85% of all men over the age of 15 had left the village in search of work in other parts of Mexico and in the United States. The men would make the trip alone and would send the money that they had made to their wives and children back in the village. The trip to the North was long and very dangerous. For the men who entered the country illegally, the trip could even be deadly. For the men who did have some money, they would hire a “coyote,” a man who would help them cross the border for a price. Sometimes coyotes were legitimate people who sought to help others, while...

  • Theme Of The American Dream In The Tortilla Curtain

    In each of the cases the coyote plays a huge role in the novel. The coyote in the novel is a symbol regarding the characraters engagements and their lifestyles. The first time the coyote appears in the novel, it had eaten one of the Mosschaber’s dogs by jumping over the fence. The family was left heart broken, so they decided to construct a bigger fence to keep out the coyotes. However, even with the bigger fence, the coyote managed to jump and eat the other dog of the Mosschaber’s. It appears that the coyote would do just about anything to survive. The community of Arroyo Blanco plans to build a wall/gate to keep out “the Salvadorans, the Mexicans, the blacks, the gangbangers, and the taggers and carjackers…” Even though the Mosschaber’s put up a bigger fence to keep the coyotes out, it failed, just as the wall may not keep the illegal immigrants out. Delayne is an author for a local newspaper and wrote about the problem with the coyotes stating, “ One coyote, who makes his iving on the fringes of my community… has learned to simply chew his way through the plastic irrigation pipes whenever he wants a drink.” This quote signifies how the coyote shares a similar lifestyle as to that of the illegal immigrants. The coyote is parallel to Candido and America. They are illegal immigrants who are living on the bottom of the hills trying to live of the land. This is exactly what the coyote does. It too lives of the land surrounding Arroyo Blanco. Delayne also mentions about calling the county animal control to trap the coyotes, which is similar as calling “la migra” to pick up the illegals off the land and set them in the other side of the

  • William Deresiewicz: Sheepdom And Its Impact On Society

    769 Words  | 2 Pages

    Sheepdom is a malady no school can cure. And yet there is much hullabaloo about William Deresiewicz’s hypothesis[1] that “elite” schools are producing “excellent sheep”—that these schools are failing their students by producing graduates hustling to land prestigious jobs with nary a second thought. I agree with Deresiewicz that graduates of so-called elite schools are excellent sheep, and that sheepdom is undesirable—though more for its impact on society than for its effect on the individual—but disagree with him that the schools are responsible for their graduates being sheep, or that the schools are failing their students.

Native American culture has a lot of dialogic perspectives in it; in the form of stories and conversations in which all humans and non-humans communicate (Irwin,2000, p39) and writers often highlight the importance of the oral cultural inheritance both as the notion of their being and as method for their writing.

  • Capitalist Society.

    1746 Words  | 4 Pages

    Capitalism is a very complex system that is discuss by many authors, scholars and economists. Robert Heilbroner is a famous American economist who creatively discusses the system of capitalism in Twenty First Century Capitalism. He reveals the abstruse capitalism system and its role in society. Heilbroner begins by comparing traditional society with modern capitalist society and differentiate capital with wealth, which facilitate the reader to understand the basic definition of capitalism. He then illustrates the most crucial aspect of capitalism, that is, the two realms of capitalism. According to Heilbroner, the two realms of capitalism are state and economy or government and business. The relation between these realms is interesting in its nature, because one aspect of their relationship make them beneficial for society and another aspect turn them into dysfunctional in society. Realm of the state and the economy are beneficial when they rely on each other, as they support each other they results in peaceful state and economy of a society. At the same time, they have power to proceed independently. As soon as they split, they are dysfunctional for society because state might block the path of the economy to grow freely and economy can independently survive without supporting the government resulting in weak society. Western societies are the living example of capitalism. They present very languish condition of moral and social values, however, they proudly presents their materialistic life. This unbalance situation is because of the contribution of capitalism in modern society. The insatiable feature of capitalism results into accumulation of capital, which diminish the value of the human being and enhance the value of money an...

  • Summary Of Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart

    The story begins with a powerful speech made by Old Major an old pig who speaks of rebellion to a farm of animals living in Manor Farm but sadly dies days after. In addition, Old Major’s greatest inspiration was set upon a hyperbole in the song ”Beast of England” which illustrates a world run by animals and no longer in the hands of mankind as states in the eight line “Shall be trod by beast alone.”(Orwell 32-33) Within the following days the animals in the farm unknowingly strike back at their owner’s negligence and cause a rebellion. Napoleon and Snowball were two young pigs that set out to build a new farm for the benefit of all the animals in the farm, renamed the farm as Animal Farm, and set forth seven commandments. As time went by the farm prospered, disagreements rose within the two, leading to Snowballs exile, and Napoleon’s title as the Leader. The seven commandments began to change for instance the sixth now stated “No animal shall kill any other animal without cause.”(Orwell 98) The naïve farm animals would believe that commandments had stated so before but they had simply forgotten. Soon enough the pigs began to wear clothes and by the time the “farm animals looked upon the pigs and men they saw no difference.”(Orwell 139) Therefore, the reader yet again realizes things don’t always go the way we had wished
