“Some people talk to animals. Not many listen thought. That’s the problem.” - A.A. Milne.

In the debate, “Are Zoos Bad News?”, written anonymously, the author reports the ethical and unethical reasoning between zoos. This came after the attack on three victims. In my opinion, the existence of zoos should endure seeing that it educates people, zoos can alter the behaviour of people to animals and zoos promote wildlife conservation.

William Faulkner’s novella “The Bear” from his collection of works, Go Down Moses, is a symbolic exploration of the relationship between man and nature in the eyes of a young boy. The heart of the issue, the warped idea of the ownership of land, is revealed thought the clash of man and nature in a wild chase that ends only in blood and death. The prey is nature itself, represented by a bear, while the hunters are men, full of greed and destructive possessiveness, pursuing that which they do not understand.

E.K. Johnston draws information from Shakespeare’s, “The Winter’s Tale,” to write her book, “Exit, Pursued by a Bear.” For example, E.K. Johnston bases her story’s conflict on Shakespeare’s work.

Hermione in “Exit, Pursued by a Bear,” struggles to manage of her life after she was sexually violated, and Hermione in “The Winter’s Tale,” was in prison because her husband thought she was

The important thing in the reader response theory is the interpretive of the readers itself, rather than the author or even the text. The theory gives the competence to the reader to critic the text, however with the condition the readers have the evidence or research from other people toward the critic. The way of their interpretation may reveal their identity, because the reader gives the critic depends on their knowledge and experience (Philip Goldstein, 2005). Everyone has their own perspective toward anything, especially for the literary works. Each of people perspective is unique. That is why reader response was created. The theory is about the transaction between the writer and the reader. The writer composed a meaningful text, whereas the reader composed an interpreted meaning of the text. Reader response is not about destroying the writer’s idea, but it is more constructing the work itself (Louise M. Rosenblatt, 1988).

One hundred and eight years of love, support, and faith in their ball club came down to a fundamental, opposite field single by Ben Zobrist in game seven last night at Progressive Field. The Curse of the Billy Goat has been erased from the history books, and much of the credit must go to the Cub’s President of Baseball Operations, Theo Epstein. Epstein was the President of the Red Sox over a decade ago, helping shape the team that broke the Curse of the Bambino. In 2011 he signed with the Cubs, again aiding his new team to break what seemed to be a hopeless World Series drought. Thrifty Indian’s Ace Corey Kluber took the mound for the home team while the 26-year-old Kyle Hendricks was on the hill for the Cubs. Kluber experienced a pitcher’s

Coach Barnes and his assistant tony who had one 4 titles and led the team in central to 5 straight finals appearances. The team didn't know what to expect after the news that was just revealed to them , they didn't know wether to be happy or sad because they were going to loose there loving coach or to be happy that they were going to have a division 1 coach . The offseason had just begun and the team was happy with how coach Barnes had refurbished their locker room got them New Jerseys and hooked them up with some special juice that helped them “gain” muscles in a short period of time . The team didn't know what was in those shakes so they tought every thing was going to be fine but little did they know what was in those shakes .

This was their year. They won 103 games with star left fielder Kyle Schwarber. They fought significant adversity to claim the NL Pennant, against two formidable foes in San Francisco and the LA Dodgers. Then, the “loveable losers” became the “wonderful winners” surmounting a 3-1 series deficit, unbelievably winning the last two games away from the friendly confines of Wrigley Field and overcoming a roller coaster of a game seven – one that may go down in baseball history – or even sports history for that matter – as the greatest game seven ever played. The Cubs were destined to win the World Series and exuded the grit, the toughness, and the resilience of champions. No controversial ball-strike call, bad hop, surprise hero, or divine intervention would stop this Cubs team from achieving ultimate glory and erasing 108 years of misery.
