The film ‘Red dog’ focuses on the life of a dog and how he affects the lives of those around him.

As the rain of hardship and pain floods the souls of one family, the silent but all-seeing pet dog learns to stand by his family and ultimately learn, throughout his life, the art of racing in the rain. Within Stein’s The Art of Racing in the Rain, the story is told from the perspective of the common household dog, Enzo. This unparalleled perspective displays the trust that many people place upon a dog’s shoulders, but Enzo’s point of view also shows how beautifully bonded Denny, Eve, Zoe and Enzo are through the trials of life and death. While Enzo cannot speak, he thoughtfully forms ideas about what he would say if he were a human; nevertheless, Enzo’s inability to speak makes him wise beyond his dog years, for as humans, we tend to speak what is on our mind before considering the impact that it will leave upon

The book states, "The Hound half rose in its kennel and looked at him with green-blue neon light flickering in its suddenly activated eye-bulbs"(Bradbury 25). This imagery describes an eight legged mechanical hound. Bradbury has a fierce tone, phrases such as "light flickering" and "activated eye-bulbs" shows something fierce. Normally, rescue dogs are supposed to rescue people from fires; however, the mechanical hound tracks down and kills/tranquilizes the people who break the law. Most importantly, people love rescue dogs and becomes friendly towards them. On the other hand, people in the society are in fear of the hound (even Montag) and never tries to get close to it. This imagery allows the readers to make a picture in their minds to help understand the situation more. Imagery will be have a certain words that are very descriptive that allows the readers to know the author's tone. Technology in this society has a lot of power. Bradbury is criticizing technology because they are ruining the society instead of help the society become a better place. In addition, the book states, "Complete darkness, not a hint of the silver world outside, the windows tightly shut, the chamber a tomb-world where no sound from the great city could penetrate" (11). When the author particularizes this imagery with a negative tone. Words such as "darkness", "windows tightly shut" and "no sound" makes the author's tone negative. This quote describes the homes as an unhappy and miserable place. Therefore, the author compares the homes to the chamber a tomb-world. Every home is individual and separate that makes the neighbors have an unsocial life with each other. This imagery will help create a dark place that allows the readers to figure out that the tone is negative. Imagery will create an image in our head to know the situation and the author's voice. This quote epitomizes

The setting of the story helps you kind of understand that something is bound to happen that will not be good by the way the house is surrounded, and how the city is surrounded.

Although the best reasons for “going to the movies” are to be entertained and eat popcorn, understanding a film is actually quite complex. Movies are not only a reflection of life, they also have the capability of shaping our norms, values, attitudes, and perception of life. Through the media of film, one can find stories of practically anything imaginable and some things unimaginable. Movie-makers use their art to entertain, to promote political agendas, to educate, and to present life as it is, was, or could be. They can present truth, truth as they interpret it, or simply ignore truth altogether. A movie can be a work of fiction, non-fiction, or anything in-between. A film is an artist’s interpretation. What one takes away from a film depends upon how one interprets what has been seen and heard. Understanding film is indeed difficult.

As the two dogs tied the battle, altercation between Skeetah and Manny arose as to who won the battle. Not to mention that the entire cause of the occasion was to a confrontation that had taken place beforehand at Randall’s basketball game. When daddy loses his fingers during the exact time frame of China killing her own puppy, intense emotions arose within me. The scene was a vivid surprise and seems to have even been a foreshadow of how shocking the arrival of Katrina was to the citizens of Bois Sauvage. These violent scenes create suspense of fear and sympathy for the characters in the story all the way up until the last horrifying event. Also, by adding these scenes Ward is able to anticipate the arrival of hurricane Katrina. Allowing readers to ponder upon how these characters are going to come together when Katrina arrives. These scenes also distract the reader from the obvious that a storm is on its way; however the characters within the novel seem to be disregarding it. When the storm finally hits readers are able to clearly see how the family sets aside almost every brutality to save each other’s lives. This is where the tenderness of the characters persona’s come in to play. In other words, although Ward wanted to place scenes of intensity within her novel, it is perceived to be that she did so with a mindset to build up to a mind boggling ending. With all the violence and chaos throughout the story it humbles the

The novel, Fifteen Dogs, written by André Alexis tells the story of fifteen dogs with their newfound human intelligence. Each dog respectively follows their own paths and holds their own thoughts.

During the confrontation, the border patrol officers bring in a dog to check for illegal substances or immigrants. She described the dog as a small female German shepherd which was treated very roughly by the border patrol officers. This use of diction paints the dog as a victim of sorts to the border patrol officer’s brutish actions. This acts as an appeal to emotion, allowing readers to sympathize with the dog. The dog is first brought to the vehicle to check, but shows no interest. During the search she describes the dog as resistant and showing contempt for the officers. After searching the vehicle, the dog is made to search Silko and her companion. During the search, she and the dog made eye contact. In that moment,

(1) Braden’s analysis was a very deep reading on what he saw behind the story. But after reading deeper into the life of Stephen Crane it is very easy to see that “A Dark Brown Dog” is the story based off what Crane witnessed on the streets. The young boy lived in a very run down part of the city in a fifth story apartment; tales of the father coming home and abusing not only the dog but his family as well.
