Life is Like…
There was once a dog. When he was a puppy he ran and played like all other puppies do.
His owner took good care of him and fed him well. He had all the comforts a dog could want. Life was good.
As he grew he started to get bigger and stronger. He still played and ate well and had fun. He watched as the grown dogs would work, but he paid no attention. He hadn’t a care in the world. His life was easy and that’s all that mattered to him.
After a while the dog was full grown. He was the biggest and strongest he had ever been. One day he left his nice, fun, comfortable home never to return. But he didn’t know that. He was with some of the other dogs he had watched working as he grew up. Now was his time to work too.
He was hooked to a harness. He was confused and didn’t know what was going on. When the other dogs ran, he ran. When they stopped, he stopped. He grew tired. He wanted to leave this place. He didn’t like work. He wanted to go back to his nice, fun, comfortable house.
You see, this dog was a sled dog. He was bread to pull sleds. That was his sole purpose in life. That was the reason he existed. It was this fact alone that kept him alive. All the other things in his life, the comfortable house, the eating, the playing, they were all meaningless. He thought that that was the purpose of his life, but he was wrong.
After a few weeks of pulling sleds, he realized that that was what he was meant to do.
It took him awhile, but he figured out that sledding was all he was living for, all he was needed for, in essence, all he was created for.
After the dog realized this, he started to pull better. He not only pulled better, but he enjoyed pulling also. It became his passion. He strived to pull the best that he could. Oftentimes he had no idea where he was going. It didn’t matter to him because he was doing what he was supposed to. He went many places he thought he would never go, places he didn’t even know existed. He enjoyed every minute of it.
High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is an artificial sweetener commonly used in the United States. As its name implies, this sweetener is derived from agricultural corn. All high fructose corn syrups are corn syrups whose fructose content has been increased via enzymatic processes and then mixed with pure corn syrup. There are several different formulations of high-fructose corn syrup. The product sold in the United States (HFCS #2) has the following composition: moisture, 29%; dry substance, 71% D.S.; dextrose, 50% D.S.; ash, 0.03 D.S.; and nitrogen, 0.002% D.S. The amounts of dextrose, fructose, and other saccharides may vary slightly in HFCS #3, but the analysis is fairly consistent. HFCS #1 hasn’t been commercially sold specifically for consumer consumption in the U.S. for many years. Instead, it is used by food producers in their products.
In Article I section 8 among the enumerated powers of Congress there is no mention of the word “bank” or “corporation.” The Constitution, however, does not specifically prohibit Congress from establishing a bank. The Marshall court found that the creation of a national bank would affect the welfare of the nation; therefor, the Constitutionality of creating the bank was legitimate.
The first one asked whether the Bank was constitutional or not, and the second one asked if “Maryland’s law unconstitutionally interfered with congressional powers” (“McCulloch v. Maryland,” Oyez). The Second Bank of the United States was decided to be constitutional because of the Necessary and Proper Clause that is found in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. This clause grants Congress the power to “pass laws that are necessary and proper for the execution of its enumerated powers” (McBride). A few enumerated powers given to Congress include regulating interstate commerce, borrowing money, and collecting taxes. Since Congress possess these powers, the creation of the Bank was related, necessary, and proper. Next, the Supremacy Clause of Article VI of the Constitution states that the laws of the United States “trump” any state laws that conflict with them. Chief Justice Marshall stated that Maryland was unconstitutionally undermining the superior laws of the United States and the supreme law of the land. Lastly, the Supreme Court ruled that the political authority of the Union belongs to only the people of the United States and not the individual states. The people created, and are governed by, the Constitution and they give the U.S. Government its power. Maryland’s tax “acted as a levy against all the people in the United States by a state accountable to only some of the people.” Basically, Maryland’s tax violated constitutional sovereignty by trying to give political authority to the State instead of the
In addition to the powerful coordination the Bank possessed, it influenced interest rates for loans to the working class and the rate of inflation in the nation. Because of the use of various bank notes, variegating from bank to bank due to the lack of national currency and mixture of specie, people trusted that each bank would be able to “cash in” their bank note for specie. This did not always hold true, but the Second Bank of the United States was the most trusted of the banks to supply specie in exchange for their bank notes. Because of this most people, in order to protect themselves from losing money, would exchange state bank notes for notes issued by the Second Bank. However, this meant that the Second Bank could threaten the state banks by demanding more gold, which might cause for their bankruptcy. As a result, the state banks were pressured into not being able to over issue their bank notes, which inevitably decreased their importance and power in the nation by decreasing the circulation of their bank notes. This was the greatest argument posed by the leaders of the state banks against the Second Bank of the United States (Roughshod 2).
He became very strong and aggressive and beating his siblings was not out of the ordinary. But it was not until a few days after the christmas holidays that Ben’s true colours were shown. One of the guests in the Lovatt’s household brought a dog with them, a terrier. Immediately Ben took a peculiar interest. Wherever the dog was...
He saw that dog grow into what he raised him to and yet he got rid of him because he had to. How more human a person is to throw his or her own dog away. It must of hurt him so much since he saw his puppy grow into the dog he raised. I once owned a puppy as well, I adopted a puppy, a Chihuahua from the animal shelter. When I brought him home my mother, whom I live with was very upset because she does not like dogs. Moreover she does not like dogs inside of the house. She is not allergic to them nor anyone in my family she just simply did not want the dog inside nor out side of the house. I was very upset because she asked me to get rid of it. I my self did not have the heart to do so and neither did I plan on getting rid of a little innocent dog who had no place else to go. One day as I come home from school I noticed that Pete, my dog was not outside in the driveway waiting for me. Which was strange, so I came inside the house and notice that he did not bark as I came inside and to my surprise my mother got rid of him. She gave it to a friend who has a passion for animals as well. The example I gave reminds me of Turgenev and Marx. Turgenev representing myself, and Marx representing my mother in my
In her book, Dog Love, Marjorie Garber proposes the idea that fictional works that offer representations of canines are often used not to tell us about dogs, but to tell us about ourselves. “The Adventures of Milo and Otis,” directed and based on a story by Masanori Hata, stars a pug-nosed puppy that Garber would believe possesses many of the traits we deem ideal in humans, and also offers several moral truths and social maxims about human society.
A battle between the Federalists and the Anti-federalists erupted over the establishment of a national bank. Since the recently adapted Constitution gave the government the power to lay and collect taxes and create a national trade policy, Alexander Hamilton’s opinion on the Constitutionality of an Act to Establish a Bank was that the bank would allow the government a means to regulate trade with foreign countries and act as a depository for taxes. Opponents argued that the constitution did not give the government the power to establish a bank and that it was, therefore, unconstitutional. Hamilton contended that since it was not specifically prohibited by the constitution, that the establishment of a ba...

The issue of whether or not America should have a National Bank is one that is debated throughout the whole beginning stages of the modern United States governmental system. In the 1830-1840’s two major differences in opinion over the National Bank can be seen by the Jacksonian Democrats and the Whig parties. The Jacksonian Democrats did not want a National Bank for many reasons. One main reason was the distrust in banks instilled in Andrew Jackson because his land was taken away. Another reason is that the creation of a National Bank would make it more powerful than...
Henry was an extremely lonely nine-year-old boy whose greatest wish was to get a dog. His parents were busy with their work most of the time and it seemed that Henry did not have any friends, perhaps because they moved so often. A dog would have provided Henry with unconditional love - something in short supply around his house - and would have been the perfect companion. The problem was, his parents did not want dog, which would have been another obligation and something else to take care of. As emotionally detached as his parents were, something else to take care of was just not desirable.
I liked Grogan’s humor and style of the writing and the way of describing the dog’s mood. For instance he used italic fonts to distinguish the dog’s replies or thoughts as if the dog said or thought something. I felt the author believed that a dog could be a central part of the family. This book taught me how to become a good owner of a dog. It is important to recognize that the owners have big responsibility for a dog’s life.
Through merry and sentimental diction, the speaker joyous life is compared to the sad life of his human. The dog is, “thrillingly”(6) enjoying the world, “sniff[ing]”(4), anything he could find and playing “fetch”(1). The author bounces from one noun to the next allowing the reader to imagine the dog running from one thing to the next, the speaker appears to be carefree and
When everyone in town found out about the noise of the puppies, they were very surprised. People started to visit the puppies, and saw that their eyes were open, they could run and jump, and they made lots of noise! They were yellow, and had white spots on their paws, just like Hattie. Suddenly, everyone in town wanted one of Hattie's puppies!
At this time, gold had been found in Alaska, and thousands of men were rushing to the Northland. They wanted dogs, dogs like Buck. One night, Manuel, the estate's gardener, who felt he was not earning enough to support both his family and his gambling habits, took Buck for a walk to the railroad station. There, money was exchanged, a rope was placed around Buck's neck, and his life in the civilized world had come to an end.
