William Shakespeare, a playwright of the 1600’s, changed how English literature is looked at to this very day. He has influenced the way a character’s emotions are captured on a page and shaped the English language. Drama, tragedy, romance, and comedy are shown in a new light as he manipulated words to become stories of his own. Shakespeare has written numerous classic pieces that he has been credited to such as Romeo and Juliet. Each work has a new plot and storyline, but, Shakespeare seems to use common techniques and styles throughout many of the pieces. Numerous authors use this same method, which develops fluidity and patterns to their stories. This allows the author to be known for a style through their work. For Shakespeare, his works share similarities such as power struggles, love and romance, immediate conflicts, and interlinking sub stories.
Power struggles are a common theme in many older, classic works and Shakespeare also falls into the pattern as well. In the play The Taming of the Shrew the struggle is between Katherine and Petruchio, and how they both want the upper hand in situations. They seem to butt heads often, especially when they have conversations in public eye: “Petruchio: I say it is the moon.
Katherine: I know it is the moon.
Petruchio: Nay, then you lie. It is the blessèd sun.” (TTOTS IV.V.18-20) The conversation these characters are partaking in demonstrates how Katherine is the weaker one because despite her pervious knowledge of the light being the sun she breaks and complies with his ways. It also shows how presumptuous Petruchio is because he intentionally formulated a way for his wife to make a fool out of herself. A further example of this is in A Midsummer Night’s Dream...

For Shakespeare, a tragedy is simply not just a tragedy, it is a story that flourishes and grows into a profound novel. The manner in which he wrote those tragedies seems to be similar from play to play. These similarities and characteristics is what sets Shakespeare apart from other authors. It allows him to have an overall theme that ties his works together and defines his technique. Earnest Hemingway is another author who is characterized by his style of writing. Hemingway is known for having a deeper meaning under the top layer of the story, such as in The Old Man and the Sea the deeper meaning is that friendship is the most important thing in life. Whether Shakespeare wrote a tragedy, a comedy, a sonnet, or any other genre, he seemed to incorporate many of these different characteristics in his work.
The first way the pigs use language to abuse their power is by using extensive detail and by using terms and vocabulary foreign to most animals. An example of the pigs using unknown terms can be found when Squealer explains to the other animals about how hard the pigs need to work to keep the farm running. “There was, as Squealer was never tired of explaining, endless work in the supervision and organization of the farm. Much of this work was of a kind that the other animals were too ignorant to understand. For example, Squealer told them that the pigs had to expend enormous labours every day upon mysterious things called ‘files,’ ‘reports,’ ‘minutes,’ and ‘memoranda’…” (129). In this scene, the animals, exhausted, hungry, and overworked, are told about how the pigs work just as hard as they do. Although this is completely untrue, seeing that the pigs only occupy themselves in self-centered and self-beneficial engagements, the other animals believe it to be true because they do not know what files, reports, minutes, or memoranda are. Their ignorance leaves them unable to question Squealers story and they mistake the pigs’ true...
I used to think wild pigs were just that, normal pigs that went out into the world alone, but I was wrong they are actually a lot different! Did you know the Binomial Nomenclature or scientific name of the wild pig is Sus Scrofa and that they are considered mammals and are thus part of the Mammalia family. They’re hair color differentiates between brownish-red to black, and they are 3.6-4.9 feet long. Though they aren’t as tall as a bear they are 3 feet in height at adulthood and can weigh as much as 400 pounds. They usually live 1-2 years but can live up to 9-10 years of age. They are also thinner than they’re domestic cousins and have much rougher hair that is known to sometimes stick up they’re spin in a threatening manner to make themselves look bigger. The long spear-like tusks protruding from they’re mouths are actually teeth that are on the top of their mouths, these tusks curve like a hook to protrude from the mouth at an actual angle. The females are almost always smaller than their male counterparts and as the males and females age this difference becomes more substantial and more visible. When they are born the pigs have a yellowish strip of color running down their sides that goes away after 4 weeks. Depending on their environment they also can have spots of different colors that allow the pigs to blend into their environments. Pigs teeth aren’t always pre...
Guinea pigs, also know as cavy, are a species of rodent belonging to the family Caviidae. Guinea pigs originated in the Andes and were introduced to the Western Societies in the 16th century by European traders. Since then Guinea Pigs have been view as household pets all over the world and are no longer seen in the wild. Guinea pigs make great pets due to their docile nature and easy handling ability. Guinea pigs can come in a variety or colors and a variety of hair lengths. Guinea pigs live from 4-8 years on average.

During The Taming of the Shrew, Shakespeare has used pleasure and pain in order to tell the story of Petruchio and Katherina’s courtship. This is problematic for modern day audiences, as they do not find the courtship methods that Petruchio employs to woo Katherina particularly comical. However, it could be argued that Shakespeare crafted The Taming of the Shrew precisely for this reason, to feature his views on patriarchy and to make the audience see what was happening through a new perspective. The Elizabethan audience would have been shocked at the methods used in order to achieve the taming, even though it was well within a man’s right to discipline his wife if she was deemed unfit. From the very beginning of The Taming of the Shrew, Shakespeare indicates that this play will not follow traditional rules of decorum, and that it is intended to both give pleasure and cause pain in order to make both Elizabethan and modern audiences take note of his underlying message.
Shakespeare has included many aspects of comedy in The Taming of the Shrew and has incorporated both pain and pleasure into this comedic tale. The use of cruelty is the cause of some of the pain experienced in this comedy. One of the most effective uses of cruelty in the play is when Petruchio, through sleep and food depravation, forces Katherina into submission towards him. Tom from ‘goodreads’ has analysed the use of this comedic device between the couple to seem “more like torture than love” which...
There has recently been a growing interest in outdoor pig production due to potential niche markets that include nature, free range, antibiotic-free, and sustainable products from pigs. Outdoor pig production can have benefits such as having a cost that is 40-70% lower to conventional indoor systems and can achieve similar grow margins with less capital investment, but it can also have its downfalls (Gentry & McGlone, 2003). Sows used to be housed in groups with outdoor access. In United States in 2001, 64% of the gestated sows were moved inside confinement building and given an individual stall (Peter J. Lammers, 2008). Consumers are concerned about sows being housed in gestation stalls and pigs being finished in confinement because they do not think that pigs are able to live their natural lives. This paper is written to show the pros and cons of indoor and outdoor housing for gestation and finishing pigs.

Mini pigs have been around for decades but just recently a surge of people are wanting these small creatures as pets. With the increase popularity of these mini pigs there comes to the question as to the care of them. Seeing that they are a relatively new pet that means there is not much in the way of enrichment for this species. But before I discuss about the enrichment items out there for this species, I will give a little background information on these species.
Guinea pigs have been eaten in South America for hundreds of years, long before they became pets in the West. Eating roasted or fried guinea pig is an ancient tradition in parts of South America, and still common today. But in other parts of the world the animal is known as cuddly pets for children. In the Andean mountains of Ecuador, guinea pigs aren’t treated as pets; they’re bred, boiled and deep-fried for dinner. Guinea pig or Cuy as it is called in South America is a local delicacy that’s unique to the highlands of Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador. Guinea pig is a vital part of traditional Andean culture, in many more ways besides their importance as a basic food, they are crucial in a variety of socially significant feasting rituals. Guinea pig is most often eaten for special occasions, a tradition that dates back hundreds of years to the Incan empire. Many Indian families in rural Ecuador keep guinea pigs, which they kill and eat. The meat is known to be delicious, but there is very little of it. Ecuadorians in the United States have trouble getting the guinea pig meat. But beef, chi...

...and works very seriously. William Shakespeare is the best writer of all time in the field and time he resigned in. He is widely known as the best and is very famous for his works. He used humor to create the laughter from his audiences. He wrote many works with humor called comedies. His comedies transformed into different type of comedies. Another one of Shakespeare’s techniques is the use of irony. He uses dramatic irony, situational irony, and verbal irony. Irony plays a very large role throughout all of his works along with comedy. He has contributed so much to the English language and literature. William Shakespeare uses everything from new words to new techniques. He created many new words and phrases. Now the English language can always thank the one and only great William Shakespeare for all that he has done for the English language throughout all his works.
