Even though the Longmont Humane Society has glass walls to provide an enjoyable view for it’s clients, from the employee's perspective it is a chaotic environment that is difficult for anyone to handle. Upon entering one is immediately immersed into the deafening chorus of barking dogs, drowning them like a massive wave swallowing an unsuspecting sandcastle. As one begins to adapt, the different barks become audible. The hound’s low, prolonged bark resonates deep within one’s chest like the vibration of a tuning fork. The small dog’s high pitched yapping is easily discernible among sixty other canines. Over the course of the day, various smells overpower the nose, from the acidic smell of stomach bile to the ammonia laced urine. The most dreaded mess of all is the masterpiece of the finger painters.

Holmes started school at the age of six, but this was not an easy experience for him. Constantly bullied by the older kids who were jealous of his great intelligence, Holmes began to shy away from many people. He came to feel worthless and that he did not belong because of the combination of violence at home and harassment at school. One day, his bullies made him touch a real skeleton his school owned. Scared at first, Holmes finally gave in to the bullies. He recalled feeling very fascinated as his hand was caressing the skeleton. This spark in Holmes led to the fire that was going to explode inside of him in the years to come. Having this close contact with a dead body is a foreshadow to the murders he would commit later in his life.

Consistently through Lucius Sims’ life, he is made fun of for looking different, much like how people are bullied today. Throughout the book, Lizard, Lucius Sims is portrayed by the author, Dennis Covington, as a mentally challenged person, and he contributes to the theme of overcoming bullying.

In the essay, The Loss of the Creature, written by Walter Percy, he discusses multiple stories relating to an unknown “creature” in our lives. Life is about our experiences. It is important to explore the world whenever we get the opportunity, but we must look at the world through a new perspective in order to truly see it. Walter Percy indirectly tells us, the most worthwhile kinds of experiences are not the ones we plan, but the ones we don’t quite expect to happen. My mother planned a vacation for my family and I looking for that once in a lifetime experience. She decided that the experience would take place in Hawaii, the Aloha State. Unfortunately, that once and a life time experience she was searching for, would not be the highlight

Holmes impulses to experiment with animals did not cease throughout his childhood after those events. He would discover forest animals close to his home in the neighboring woods, and dismember them to learn more about their anatomy and physiology. (Bailin, 2008). This didn’t only provide Holmes the knowledge of how to dismember, but it also provided him the psychological enabler to fuel his delusions. It is quite possible that Holmes obsession with death may have driven him to murder at the young age of 11, disguising it as an accident. Holmes had a friend who was older than him named Tom, and they would sometimes hangout. On one particular occasion, Tom and Holmes were exploring an abandoned home. Holmes recalls during their exploration, seeing Tom Fall off a landing to his death, but many speculate that Holmes may have pushed him. (Schechter, 2003).

Tim took it from George, took out a small vial, dumped the contents into a syringe, and administered the liquid to the tiger. As he did so, he also undid the clamp on the trap. The trap scratched his finger as the tiger awoke, leapt up, and ran to a nearby river. Just then, the ATVs arrived, but all their drivers saw was an empty trap and a bunch of footprints.

“Hey! Calm down and chill!” I yelled over to my dog. Manchitas might be a chihuahua, but he can really pull me when he wants, but that isn’t much since I’m just skin and bones. He frantically started digging and whining. I’d never seen him like this. Today, was my only day off of work, so I decided to take him on a long walk. I live in Miami, Florida and working as a forensic anthropologist, I am always busy.

Dr. Holmes was an infamous con artist and serial killer. Born as Herman Mudgett, Dr. Holmes, experimented on pets and other common forest animals. He tortured these animals, dissecting them while they were still alive, practicing and increasing his knowledge on how long a living animal could survive with the excruciating pain deriving from Henry’s torture. As an adult, Henry documented in his autobiography that while visiting his doctor as a child, older boys would shove human display skeletons in his way, terrifying him. Therapists and the

Henry James wrote an ambiguous story titled The Beast in the Jungle, which can lead to many interpretations. May Bartram being an angelic woman while John Marcher is an ignorant fool, being the most common interpretation. Bartram's response to Marchers' secret predicament is unusual because she remains by his side yet gets no material items or marital status. It can only be assumed that the satisfaction Bartram gets is not from a positive friendship, because Marcher does not even offer a true friendship, but from a fiend like obsession with his life and a desire to torment him.

As Sam opened his eyes, he was taken aback. Cobwebs draped down from the ceiling to the ground. There was no lighting; the only trace of light was from the dusty window. The smell was what really surprised him. It smelled so good in here! He expected a place like this to be smelly, but instead it smelled like lavender and honey. He spied a plate that had some rice and vegetables, and a small bowl of curry. A cup of tea finished of the dazzling array of food. “Finally you’ve woken up,” a chiming voice startled Sam’s inspection. To his surprise, he saw a monkey. He was carrying a banana leaf with a container of something green. “You sure where lucky. Surviving a moose in rage is quite uncommon. You’re pretty uncommon yourself, with a birthmark on your forehead shaped like a star and a really quick reviving body. My name’s Looloo, and I’m the one who carried you home. You

When Ruby passed by the two infected, they had caught Chuckles attention and he began to bark and growl frantically at them. “Shut up… Shut up, Chuckles, Jeez!” Lovienthal cried out to his dog in a low demanding voice, full-well knowing his efforts would be unsuccessful. He knew that once Chuckles had his mind-set on something, there was only one thing that could take his attention away from it—Food. “Quick, find something for him to eat!” Lovienthal exclaimed. “What?” Mary asked, shrugging her shoulders, hands held out and supinated. “I don’t know…,” said Lovienthal, “anything that will shut him up, Jeez, C’mon. He’s a dog. He’ll eat anything. He eats his own turds for Christ sake.”

This quarter, I read the book Monster by Walter Dean Myers. I honestly did not like the book at all because it was not exciting. Walter Dean Myers started off the book great. He opened up with a handwritten font in a journal that left in a cliffhanger. That intrigued me to be excited to read more of the book, but it disappointed me too. Throughout the book the author is so descriptive, I can assume that because e is writing a screenplay and screenplays must be detailed or else the movie will be different. The ending of the book, for me, was succesful because the real murderer received jail time, as deserved for taking a life. It was also succesful because Steve Harmon didnt go to jail. I did wish Steve Harmon got a fine for being an acsessory

“What the Snake Brings to the World” is a 2002 poem by the Canadian poet Lorna Crozier. The poem is free verse, with four stanzas of 6, 4, 4 and 9 lines respectively. The poem is riddled with Biblical allusions, with the “snake” being its focal point, making extensive comment on the nature and consequences of the aforementioned snake. A dominant reading of the poem outlines the duplicity of the nature of ‘evil’ and ‘sin’ and related consequences. An alternate reading of the poem conveys the idea of the human progression reflected by post-lapsarian linguistics. Finally, a resistant reading attacks the very nature, role and impacts of the Judaeo-Christian tradition, claiming it to be fault-laden.

     When the snake first came to the water-trough, the narrator was excited and glad "he had come like a guest in quiet, to drink at my water trough." He "felt so honoured" at this visit whilst at the same time, the voices of his "accursed human education" advised him to kill it, for it was a gold snake and therefore venomous.
