The two articles “Attack of the Man Eaters” and “Meet the Lion Whisperer” written by Lauren Tarshes and Susan Orlean share the thought of lions and one man’s sensational story. In the article “Attack of the Man Eaters” it tells how these lions were hunted and killed because they weren’t liked and they’ve killed many people over the years. In the article “Meet the Lion Whisperer” it tells how when lions are raised in sanctuaries with petting zoos they can’t survive in the wild and are used in events called canned hunts and the lions are often used in circus acts. If you compare these two articles they both share some similar important information. Such as in one story there is one man talking about how he loves lions. And how they are his
Both articles also explain things on a personal level. We can connect and relate these articles because they are real life and social issues In America today In
Did you know that the number of lions has dropped by over 300,000 over the past 50 years, or that the lions in Africa are losing their habitat? In the Scope Magazine article, Attack of the Man-Eaters, by Lauren Tarshis— Colonel J. H. Patterson was a British engineer who was building a railroad in Africa in the late 1800’s. He had no idea what sort of terrors he would face during his journey. In the other Scope article, Meet the Lion Whisperer by Susan Orlean, a man named Kevin Richardson shares his amazing story of the bonds he has with his lion friends. Throughout both articles, they have many similarities and differences.
To begin with, in both articles they have many identical similarities. The alike in both stories are that they both tell a story about struggling refugees. They both wanted to go to the United States of America. They both came from a horrible war zone and had to sacrifice many things. They have seen folks being ripped apart from each other. Trying to be aware and waiting for the next attack. These articles both have many similarities, but when there are similarities, there are differences.
In the two articles there are many similarities and differences but they are all on the topic railroads. They show how it affects people and their towns and hows its like working on the railroads. Lets take and look and see the differences and similarities between the two resources.
In the book The Lorax tells the story of the Once-ler and how he started selling thneed from the truffula trees. And how the Once-ler business grew so big that that he chopped down all the truffula trees causing the Bar-ba-loots, Swomee-Swans, and humming-fish to leave. In the article talks about the importance of biodiversity for the ecosystem. The book and the article are similar by trying to conserve nature. And they differ by how they spread their message. The article is informing you about biodiversity, while the book is persuading you to care about nature.
The Lion Behind The Glass How much do we really know about lions? This beautiful beast does not only pridefully take on his role as “King of the Jungle” but he’s is also an inspiration to many of his followers. He is recognized as brave and prideful. Although he’s all of these great things he has a hidden truth. The lion is probably the most terrible dad in the animal kingdom.
One of my similarities is, they both are about family's. Throughout the articles people lose their family's when they are traveling. In article one, it states that, " More one quarter of the Jews on board the ship was later killed in the Holocaust." The Fresno family had some trouble getting to America too. The article states that, " the Fresno family had to adjust to a new life in California.
There are currently more than 6000 lions in 200 breeding farms across the country, and more than 1000 lions are hunted each year. Along with the hunters who participate in this barbaric ‘sport’, are tourists who are unknowingly, and misleadingly contributing to the Canned Hunting industry through their volunteerism at these breeding
From the furore over trophy hunting, the public could be forgiven for thinking that it was the major threat facing lions. But in reality, the key issues are loss of habitat, prey loss from bushmeat poaching and
The author uses pathos to get people to feel sympathy for the family in the village who lost their son when he got mauled by a lion. This quote greatly supports the author's purpose for writing this article. Finally he supports this claim asserting people are too ignorant to make a feasible claim about the situation. He uses diction and parallel structure to appeal to pathos when stating, “Don’t tell us what to do with our animals when you allow your own mountain lions to be hunted to near extinction in the eastern United States. Don’t bemoan the clear-cutting of our forest when you turn yours into concrete jungles.” The author uses parallel structure when repeating, “Don’t “ to emphasise his overall point. He also uses diction to assert his claim when he uses the words, “extinction, bemoan, and concrete jungles”. He specifically used these words to get us to feel the injustice about how the Americans are acting about Cecil’s death. Overall, Nzou combines his condemnatory and critical tone with these appeals to effectively point out to the people who are “crying” about Cecil’s death that lions are harmful to people and killing lions happens all the time in the area. This article would be informative to the public who are outraged about Cecil’s death and
On the 1 of July 2015, a Zimbabwean lion Cecil was inhumanly killed by an American dentist, Walter Palmer. Palmer paid $50,000USD to professional hunter and guide, Theo Bronkhorst, who enabled him to kill the beloved lion Cecil. It is clear that what happened to Cecil was a horrific event, however the world has overlooked a few alarming aspects of the situation when deciding to ruin Walter Palmer’s life. The killing of Cecil was a truly tragic event which involved a 40 hour hunt after the lion was wounded by an arrow from a crossbow and finally its life ended by a bullet from a rifle.
I think in the story “Christian The Lion” and “Wild Home” by Tod Olson and Rebecca Kai Dotlich the Theme or big idea the articles share is that in both articles they are explaining to us that there is more than what meets the eyes another theme could be lions and other wild animals belong in the wild because in other people's perspective they thought that Christian was a scary bad lion but in the eyes of Ace and John he was a loveable friendly cute lion. I know this because the first thing the text says is “eventually christian would turn into a 500 pound lion with razor sharp claws and 4 inch fangs”. Next they said “a radio host tried to get christian to roar into a microphone but instead he started chewing up the wires” Finally if you are
As Rebecca Greig of the International Business Times put it, “to use Joseph Stalin's oft-quoted phrase, that, ‘one death is a tragedy, one million is a statistic’” (Greig). As attention intensifies around Cecil, the government wastes tens of thousands of dollars and marginalizes the real problems in Africa. The citizens of America are swept up in a media storm that draws their attention away from those who really matter. The excessive over publication of trophy hunting done by the United States government yields a nation that is blind to the millions of deaths of the people in Africa. In fact, there are more lions killed because the local people are seeking protection than lions killed for sport. A 2014 report from the Unites States Wildlife & Fisheries wrote that “"[w]hen lions cause or are perceived to cause damage to livestock, property, or people, the response is generally to kill them" (Dickman). If public attention was focused on helping the African people into a safer environment, there would in fact be less lions killed each year. As blood boils over Walter Palmer, I rush to remind you that hunters help the people of Africa. When the individuals holding the guns were questioned, “[a] majority of hunters – eighty-six percent! – told the researchers they preferred hunting in an area where they knew that a portion of the proceeds went back into local communities” (Goldman). The money they spend goes to remote places that have no other major ways of income and might be bypassed anyway during simple safari tours. African people can see that American focus is on lions, not the poverty, disease, and death that plagues them every day. The account of Goodwell Zcouaug, a man from Zimbabwe going to school in America sums this concept up perfectly saying that “Zimbabweans are left shaking
The Man Eaters of Tsavo, by John Henry Patterson, describes the terrorizing effect of a pair of man-eating lions on a camp of railroad workers in 1898 East Africa. Patterson’s memoir demonstrates the difficulties and influences that imperialistic Great Britain had over the Africans, and faced many issues while trying to develop the infrastructure of the continent in order to take advantage of the wealth and natural resources in the interior of Africa.
Majestic, noble, and brave, this famous iconic wild animal on the planet has captivated the people since the beginning of time. They are most feared by other animals thus, known as the king of the jungle – no other than the lions. Member of the genus Panthera, the lion is one of the big cats in the Felidae family. A lion’s head and body size average about 4.5 to 6.5 feet and tail of about 26 to 40 inches in length. A lion also weighs about 265 up to 420 pounds and a size relative to a 6-foot human. These mammals are also carnivores. Lions have always seen hunting in groups called pride. While lions generally avoid a full-grown elephant, lions still prefer their preys large like the zebras, buffaloes, and giraffes. Poised as the top animal in the ecological pyramid, lions have strong physical qualities, fascinating reputation, and an unfortunate decreasing number of population.
