An Animal 's Home - Original Writing

“I thought you were by yourself, because I didn’t see your family. So I got nervous.”

“Thanks, mom,” I said, “but don’t get too excited. I have to figure everything out and I should probably pray about it.”

Ralph is not only a leader, but a voice of reason within the group. Ralph’s main priority throughout the novel is to be rescued, even when it did not seem as important to the other boys in the group. Ralph creates a signal fire and consistently reminds the boys that it is imperative to their survival. Ralph explains, “Don’t you understand? Can’t you see we ought to--ought to die before we let the fire out?” (Golding 81). Ralph’s scolding to the hunters is well deserved considering that they wasted a possible opportunity to be rescued after letting the signal fire go out. As time went on, Jack and his hunters become more and more consumed with hunting and order began to turn into chaos. The hunters chant, “Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Bash her in” (Golding 75). Ralph refuses to join the boys and viciously murder pigs. The boys’ hygiene habits were also worsening, to the point that the boys were defecating in the wrong areas. Ralph tries to address it at a meeting, but the boys’ find their animal-like behavior amusing. Throughout the loss of civility and order, Ralph always keeps a persistent effort to keep the signal fire going and keep order within the group. Ralph’s attitude towards the entire situation drops, however he never completely lost hope.

“An Animal’s Place” written by, Michael Pollan is an article on rather animals should have the same constitutional rights as humans. Pollan explains in the article that, “Zogby poll found that fifty-one percent of Americans believe that primates are entitled to the same rights as human children”. Pg. 362 meaning, people want to stand up for how animals are being treated in factories. More and more animals are treated like they are machines and not animals. Pollan goes on to explain how he went to a few of the animal factories in the United States, to see how they operate. We found he was displeasing. They cage thousands of hens and pigs to the point that they become depressed. They start producing less and some resort in eating cannibalizing.

Every 98 seconds an American is sexually assaulted. Not only Americans experience assault, multiple people encounter assault. The fact that a country, such as America, with high security makes it more astonishing because imagine how assault must be in countries with low security. The fact that assault exists shows cruelty is a natural human instinct. Although some may try to believe that Humanity is kind, others may disagree because humans discriminate, they abuse, and take the life of others, consciously and unconsciously.

“Of course, I do,” she said. “I don’t care what our family will think either!”

"Isn't it good we're being rescued. If my hunters and I hadn't kept the fire going." Jack smirked at his comment, showing no attempt to hide his pride. Ralph's fury bubbled over the surface at Jack's snide comment. "You let the fire go out. We could have been saved when the first ship went by but you and your hunters," he spat the word, "let it go out. Piggy and I kept the fire in check until you stole the fire we would have gladly given you. Then you burned the whole island down." Ralph exclaimed while he struggled to get his rage under control. "If it weren't for Piggy the fire never would have been lit in the first place. We were rescued thanks to him but because of you and Roger he will never go

We all left out the house to go to the courthouse. While we was in the car dad, was talking about whatever happens today and the judge’s/jury’s decision.

“ you got a job! I'm proud of you Marie, now does this boy have money?” Father asks.

In the meeting after dark, after Ralph finished talking about the rules and orders that the boys should follow, the topic about fear and the beast was brought up. The topic raised heated arguments, and the meeting soon became out of order. In the meeting, Jack confronted Ralph for the first time, and stated clearly his stance—using violence, not rules or order as the way to solve problems, ‘Bullocks to the rules! We’re strong—we hunt! If there’s a beast, we’ll hunt it down!’ The boys, all except for Simon, Ralph and Piggy, ran into a frenzy of savagery under Jack’s lead. They chanted and mimicked the action of hunting, all sorts of rules or orders behind their heads.

“No … get the money… just…” Dad caught my eye, and gave me a look that made me turn around again.

   There are many ways we can stop this madness. One way we can stop this is to replant when we cut down these trees . When we cut down trees we kill animals’ homes and they will have to find new ones and birds nests the  eggs fall and die .The second way that we can stop this is to

The first thing I suggest you doing is having more conferences on the endangered species act. This act truly emphasizes on protecting animals and the areas they live in. For example, we should be courteous towards these animals and not disturb the areas they live in. A vast majority of habitats are ruined by humans for humans. I do understand that some areas need to be built to develop a stronger economy, but we also need to think about the animals because we wouldn’t be here if they all died. These areas cover a massive amount of land, so it is important to think about what you are building and why you are building it.
