Nick saw sorrow in the Gorillat’s eyes, but Hal was filled with adrenaline ready to fight. This Frankenstein of a beast was in pain, yet it came charging at Hal. A quick analyzation showed the morose, unnatural Gorillat not wanting to be ripped apart, limping… but at a glance at Nick, he was in excruciating trouble. Without a thought, Hal leaped on to the Gorillat and began mercilessly connecting his fist with the flesh of the beast, impairing the monster and causing it to thrash about. It eventually tried to escape, but time was of the essence. Nick was wounded, bleeding, and had already passed out, Hal needed to rebandage him, and enact his revenge. He looted a gun off of Nick’s unconscious body, and shot the Gorillat trying to stay alive, …show more content…
There was no one in the room, but the broken computer and a headset. Nick, was on his knees, crying out of anguish or of grief. Where was Hal? He wouldn’t. Would he? Why did he leave me? he thought. Holding his gun that once saved his life, he knew his next choice, he was going to kill the one that made him take his life. But no one was there… He took aim, and fired his gun into the ground, until he heard a mute click, and the floor was littered with shells. “Was this all part of God’s Plan? Is this what justice brings?” He brought the gun to his head, and was ready to pull the trigger… but there was no bullets left, there was no one to blame. “WHO BROUGHT ME INTO THIS WORLD!” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A few years passed since the incident. I didn’t know then, but wherever Hal went he brought a new prosperity to the world. It took a lot of time to cope… but I lived to see the day where children play and laughter restored our hope, where the birds sang, and the grass looked greener. Even when the sun sets beautifully, it radiates brighter across the country just for
A Primate’s Memoir, written by Robert Sapolsky, documents the author’s time in Kenya while he studied the various behaviors of a troop of baboons. One of the key aspects of the book was the social rank that developed within the troop. Female baboons have a social hierarchy that is fairly cut and dry. The eldest baboons in the troop are considered the higher-ranking females, and as the baboons get younger, so to follows the string of dominance. The ranking for males was essentially from the strongest baboons to the weakest baboons. The baboon at the top of the social hierarchy was considered the alpha male. This social rank has huge implications for the troop in regards to which baboons mated with each other. If another baboon wanted to become the alpha male, then he would have to challenge the current alpha male to a fight, and win. The baboon’s distinct personality mixed with their instincts are the primary factors for where one lands on the social hierarchy. Another key aspect of the book was the strategies that took place when the baboons wanted to mate with another baboon. Similar to humans, the baboon males tried to impress the female baboons in a way that would make them want to mate. The rank of the male is considered to be one of the greatest factors contributing to what mate they end up with, because there is nothing more impressive than becoming a high-ranking baboon. Also, there were instances of lower-ranking baboons strategizing and forming teams with other baboons to become a higher ranking baboon for the mating possibilities. The baboons in the group are considered a patch-work of different troops, as it is common for one baboon to move to different groups frequently.

From the brush came the huge crack of a gun being fired. George dropped his gun, and Lennie was frozen in time for a split second, then he fell over in front of George’s feet. He was gone.
I was sitting in the old rickety chair that looked as if it had been there for five years. The smell of gunpowder hung in the morning air as I leaned over the rifle rest. My finger wrapped around the trigger as my eye focused through the scope of my grandfather’s Springfield ’03. I took a deep breath and let half out. My finger tightened on the trigger as I awaited the recoil and crack of the gunpowder igniting. Finally, when my finger’s pull was enough to move the trigger, the gun went off. Moments like this are why I love shooting guns.

Trustworthiness is an important element in a relationship. It is the groundwork for dependability between two people, and from it, relationships grow and mature. When that trust is shattered, it creates a barrier between the two people. What defines a legal agreement with a business partner from a silly promise made to a child? In a child’s eyes, there is no distinction. A promise is a promise. In Toni Cade Bambara’s “Gorilla, My Love,” the evolving perspective of the distinction between an act of betrayal and the breaking of a juvenile pact is scrutinized through an incident between a child, Hazel, and her uncle, Hunca Bubba.
Throughout situations and research conducted by not only Robert Sapolsky or Jane Goodman, but from many other credited sources, we can blatantly see the, if not identical, similarities between the two species of humans and baboons. The most apparent likewise characteristics of this can be read and documented in Professor Sapolsky’s book, A Primate’s Memoirs. Sapolsky, who spent hundreds if not thousands, of hours studying these Savanna Baboons, sheds a vast insight into ideas of social dominance, mating strategies, instinctual prowess, community settings, hygiene, and reform of an entire generation; many of which can be unknowingly seen directly in the common occurrence of a humans daily life.

Cho poked his head in the room a couple of times and looked around before exiting and entering a different room. The first shots were heard across the hall, in the hydrology class. It sounded like a nail gun or hammer hitting concrete blocks.
Upon hearing David and Betty’s refusal, the man pulled out a gun, and fired a round into the right rear window, shattering it with incredible force. He then moved to the front of the car and fired another round into the left tire. Stricken with panic, David and Betty rushed out of the car, but the man was there to meet them. Betty was able to scramble out, but David wasn’t so lucky, as he was met with the cold, hard barrel of a gun pressing behind his left ear. "The shot made a deafening blast, as the bullet entered David’s head at a horizontal angle, blowing it apart" (Tina 3).
After the murderer shot him with the gun silencer, he/she could hide in the laundry room or somewhere in the house when the policemen arrived and escaped from the house after the policemen left. That explained how did the murderer escaping so fast.
