The convention is a continuation of that tradition; but, there is one thing that is something different that night – Barbara Jordan was the keynote speaker. In 1832, no one would have asked Barbara Jordan to deliver the speech, especially if it was a woman.

When it comes to animals, everyone seems to have an opinion. Some love them, some hate them. Some believe that animals feel and experience authentic emotions, while others believe that they do not have the capability to do so.

However, in the forest, animals deal with death in a totally different way. Dead body can be finding everywhere and death is happening at all times. Thus, animals treat it normally. As Goodall says, “And always there are the young ones to carry on the life of the species”(146). Although old ones will passes away when they are old, but young ones are growing up and

In 1976 Barbara Jordan, Congresswoman from Texas, became the first African American woman to deliver a keynote address at a major party convention in the US. She was aware of the significance and symbolism of the moment. Referencing the first Democratic convention of 1832, she said, “A lot of years passed since 1832, and during that time it would have been most unusual for any national political party to ask a Barbara Jordan to deliver a keynote address.” For Jordan, her presence at the convention was “evidence that the American Dream need not be forever deferred.”

Barbara Bush gave a speech unlike any other, a speech to an audience that had gone as far as to protest her even coming to speak to the point where her husband the President of the United States had to stand up for her (Eidenmuller). A speech that combined the use of Aristotle's Ethos, Pathos, and Logos in such a manner that each aspect grew the next. As one aspect developed in her speech it boosted the other up as well, allowing her to come from behind and present the True American Dream - the individual's personal dream. To an audience that despite her individual accomplishments looked down on her because of her Title First Lady.

Consolation behavior entails as an increase in comforting contact in response to and directed toward a distressed individual by an uninvolved bystander, which produces a calming effect (Zahn-Waxler et al., 1992; De Waal & Van Roomalen, 1979). Observations of consolation behavior in animals such as elephants have led to the conclusion that consolation behavior may require advanced cognitive capacities (Plotnik & De Waal, 2014). However, the current study sought to investigate if consolation behavior could be observed outside of species with advanced cognition, such as in a rodent species. Such an observation would suggest that consolation behavior relies on less cognitive capacities and may be variably expressed in species due to their species-specific evolutionary context (Burkett et al., 2016).

I will be summarizing the book How Animals Grieve by Barbara J. King for my book report. This book was published in 2013 by U of Chicago Press.

The book does provide us with opposing points of view but the author gives us enough reasons to believe otherwise. For instance, in the book, one scene shows the animals grieving while the other doesn’t but according to the author sometimes
