Did you know that all it takes to ruin someone’s life is a prairie dog and a racoon? In the movie, Furry Vengeance, a prairie dog howls at a passing car who throws a cigarette out the window. The car happens to be driven by a real estate developer who is tearing down the forest to build a new development. A racoon precedes to signal a mink who drops a ginormous boulder that rolls down the mountain and slams into the car. The car slides to the edge of the cliff and the racoon blows on the car, making it fall over the side of the mountain. All completely normal behavior for rodents, am I right? The man manages to survive the fall but quits his job which creates a job opening that Dan Sanders (Brendan Fraser) fills. Dragging his family of three …show more content…

A racoon pulled the plug of the treadmill Sanders was running on sending him flying across the room! A group of skunks piled into his car not once, but twice! We all know where that led. A crow pecked outside his house driving him mad, even throwing his wife’s papers all over the yard which made things even worse! Eventually Dan realized the animals were seeming to sabotage his new life and locked them all up in cages. That is, after he blew up the beaver dam and got stuck in a port-a-potty by a bear… Yeah, that was gross. Meanwhile, Dan Sander’s wife (Brooke Shields) was put in charge of the annual “eco-friendly” fair that happens to be sponsored by Dan’s work (a little ironic if you ask me.) Dan, figuring all of this out, sets the animals free and they wreak complete havoc on the fair. The CEO of Dan’s work, Neal Lyman (Ken Jeong) of Lyman Enterprises, accidentally tranquilizes the sponsor for the construction, Mr. Gupta (Gerry Bednob), after he attempted to break their deal. The animals attacked and dragged Mr. Lyman off in a worm tunnel, attached to a golf cart. driven by a bear. Months later, Sanders quit his job and became a park ranger. The forest was pronounced a nature reserve and all was restored back to it’s original

When I was in the 9th grade, the school system I was in was still utilizing the junior high school and we would not enter high school until the ninth grade. The year that Freaks and Geeks was to take place, I myself was in the 9th grade, so I sympathized with the show somewhat. Sam and Rory from Gilmore Girls had trust from their mothers, where on the other hand, Danny from geeks and Lane, from Gilmore, dealt with mistrust because of how their mothers were. Danny’s mother expected him to drop everything and get what she needed, even if that meant missing school, and Lane’s mother did not allow her to

  • Abnormal Psychology

    Abnormal Psychology Abnormal psychology in the area within psychology that is focused on maladaptive behavior-its causes, consequences, and treatment. Abnormal psychology deals with how it feels to be different, the meanings the get attached to being different, and how society deals with people whom it considers to be different. The spectrum of differences is wide, ranging from reality defying delusions and severe debilitations to worries and behavioral quirks that we would be better off not having but do not significantly interfere with our daily lives. An example of the milder end of the spectrum is a man who was an eminently successful district attorney, was elected governor of New York on three occasions, and was almost elected president of the United States in 1948. This man, Thomas E. Dewy, reached the pinnacle of success, displaying such qualities as rectitude, efficiency, precision, and nearly limitless capacity for hard work.

    The video contains the viral clip of 21-year-old Chad Wadman saving the rabbit and interviews from Wadman, his mother, and the doctor that cared for the rabbit at the California Wildfire Center. Henson then continues to reassure her audience that the “wild rabbit seen in a viral video being saved from a Southern California wildfire has been released back to the wild” and shares the release video. These videos provide the context for Hanson’s article and a strong connection to her audience’s pathos. She then continues to address the opposing side of this news event. Many critics “argued that the rabbit probably didn’t need help and that intervening with wildlife can often make things worse” (Henson). However, Hanson purposely sandwiches this opposition between “a December photo of the rabbit being treated at the California Wildlife Center” taken by Alyssa Schlange and a quote from the California Wildlife Center stating, “experts do generally advise against interfering with wildlife, [but] that in this case, the rabbit was seriously injured and definitely needed medical attention.” Hanson’s whole article is set up to prove that this event was a good deed with good

  • Psychological Androgyny

    820 Words  | 2 Pages

    In many cultures, expectations are put upon men and women. From birth, boys are expected to be masculine and girls are expected to be feminine. These expectations follow us into adulthood. Although these expectations vary widely, in the United States, more masculine characteristics are valued (Michaelson & Aaland, 1976). Leadership and assertiveness, and other masculine characteristics are valued in work environments and other areas, while more feminine traits such as excessive expression of emotion can be less valuable. However, a combination of these characteristics, or androgyny, allows people to have important leadership skills, but also have empathy and consideration for others, and the ability to address different situations appropriately. Michaelson and Aaland defined androgyny as a combination of self-assertivity and relatedness, self-assertivity being the more masculine characteristic and relatedness being the more feminine trait. It is a combination of sensitive behaviors and controlled emotions. They described masculinity as agency, or having more emotional control and independence, and femininity as communion, or being sensitive to other people. Androgynous people showed characteristics of both.
