People act like enemies of the world because they only allow for themselves. In other words, they kill other animals if they pose a threat to their growth, like the land is ours and ours alone – not to be shared. On the other hand, people have recently begun to think more about the destruction we are causing on the planet and initiating a change within their communities. In this way, they are working with the world, rather than against it.

The animals all gather together to try to solve the existing problems in their kingdom. They all get an equal vote, which was unfair because the Pride Estate and the Parade Estate could easily outvote the Pure Estate. Edmond the eagle, who was determined and incorruptible, and represented the Pure Estate, wanted to fight all the way for the rights of the poor animals, and he’s willing to do anything to fix the inequality of animal rights in the kingdom. The animals of the city Lionsgate decided to attack the Cubs Prison in order to obtain the weapons they needed to use to defend themselves when the Pride Estate and the Parade Estate attacks them. The animals spread everywhere like a wildfire, murdering the animals of the Pride and the Parade, and when the other animals from the rural areas of the Lionheart Kingdom heard about the outrage, they too were scared and terrorized. They bursted into insanity and went on a rampage and revolted against their masters because they were afraid that their masters would kill them too. The poor animals protested and forced King Leo to sign the Declaration of the Rights of Animals, which gave the poor animals more rights, and the Pride and the Parade privileges were abolished. Lionsgate’s animals paraded to Leon Palace and forced Leo and his family to come back to Lionsgate and see the catastrophic incident that is

All stories must have a conflict in them. Some have only one but the narrator and author of the short story “ The Most Dangerous Game’’ by Richard Connell has not only one but three to give the story a little rage . Man vs man, man vs himself and man vs nature are all included in the story. They all exist in the story and these are some of the examples the author puts on the story when writing it.

Life is like a waterslide. There are twists and turns, and ups and downs. There are rough, choppy moments and smooth, polished moments. And there is always an end to the journey. Conflict can relate to a waterslide - with many twists and turns, ups and downs. But once resolved, conflicts always come to an end. In “The Most Dangerous Game”, by Richard Connell, Rainsford faces many types of conflict, including man versus nature, man versus man, and man versus self conflicts.

Rifkin states that “The current studies open up a new phase, allowing us to expand and deepen our empathy to included the border community with whom we share the earth with”. As evidence there are so many new studies about animals and how they all feel and think so now that we all know that they do, why keep keep hurting them? Just because a fish can’t tell you they are feeling the pain people are causing them or show emotion , doesn’t make it okay to do it. Animals do think, I wonder what they think of us. In an article telegraph discusses a topic about four teens that stole a dog from his home and tortured it for hours in one of the most worst cases an RSPCA inspector had ever seen."These youths admitted feeding him drugs, kicking and punching him, and wringing and breaking his neck before dumping him”. The four teens were given 12 months probation and are not allowed to have any pets for 5 years and were given a fee. That was all that was given to the teens after they did cruel stuff to that poor dog. Animals should have animal rights because cases like these are not acceptable or right.

Have you ever been hunted down by a psychopath war general, rabid pack of dogs, and a giant mute knouter named Ivan, and escaped? “The Most Dangerous Game,” by Richard Connell, is about a man named Rainsford who gets stranded on an island with an insane head honcho on a small, isolated island in the Caribbean sea. Behind every work of literature, are literary elements that make it successful. “The Most Dangerous Game” is successful due to descriptive imagery, suspenseful plot, and ability to get to the point.

Jewish had no freedom, no rights, and were treated as low as wild animals. Wiesel claimed, “We had eaten nothing for six days, except a bit of grass or some potato peelings near the kitchens” (Wiesel 118-119). This condition is exactly the circumstance that wild animals are in. First of all, there needs to be food somewhere. And second, the Jews are fighting for the survival of the

On a chilly Autumn evening, my cousins and I were roaming around the Promenade Mall. We had been talking about where we would all like to travel to in the future with excitement but that had been until our attention was caught by a younger girl. We had noticed as we walked closer that two older girls had been making fun of her appearance. This greatly bothered us. We viewed bullying as as something that no one should have to tolerate. Immediately, we walked up to the girls. I stood in front of the younger girl pushing her back with my arm to assure them that they should back off or else they would have a major problem. My cousins and I went straight to telling her off on how what they were saying to the younger girl was wrong and how they should use empathy. The girls reacted just as how I expected, frightened. After around 45 seconds of doing so, we walked away with a smirk on our faces and invited the younger girl to join us as we went on shopping. Always stand up for what you believe in. It is better to stand out by doing the right thing than to do nothing and blend with the crowd. In Animal Farm written by George Orwell, the animals in the manor farm were being mistreated. They decided to take charge and to have a rebellion for they knew that they way Mr. Jones was treating them was wrong. The animals later created their own commandments but later they find out that holding all of the power to yourself leads to negative outcomes.

When we are placed in situations of desperation, we often resort to other motives that we would normally categorize as inhumane in order to survive:“When your own life is threatened, your sense of empathy is blunted by a terrible, selfish hunger for survival,” (133). This becomes apparent to Pi when he does not feel any sympathy towards the zebra, after the ruthless attack from the hyena. Pi has trouble coping with this behaviour as it is going against values that defines him as a person: religion and his moral obligations. This willpower to survive often blocks our sense of empathy for one another and controls our mind and our hearts. Later in the chapter, the hyena has an opportunity to attack the orangutan, but does not. This relates to the idea that theses two opposites of moral and survival instincts can co exist together, such as the rhino and the goat. Ultimately, the symbolism of the two opposite natures coexisting with one another proves that nature is filled with surprises and the need for balance of cooperation and competition is essential to survive.

The novel clearly reiterates the notion that more people conform than rebel when confronted with authoritarian control. The animals in the novel are divided into two categories. Those who have knowledge and therefore power, and those who lack knowledge and therefore are submissive. The main difference is that the submissive animals such as the horses and sheep represent the people that chose to stay uneducated, as it is a much less difficult pathway. They chose this because knowing consequences creates threatening actions against the livelihood of the animals. Despite the animals suffering from violence, poor conditions, and being overworked, they continue to conform as it becomes an easier lifestyle for them. The repetition of the lines “Napoleon is always right” and “I will work harder” showcases how the farm animals follow the routine of others and resign to conformity as their means of life, for it is an easier, simpler outlook to life for them. The idea of being an outlier and having a voice is forsaken by the animals, as the narrative evolves they witness more and more unruly acts of behaviour from the pigs, who are controlling the farm. The emotive language used within the line “Silent and terrified, the animals crept back into the barn” effectively demonstrate how a wave of melancholic and frightened emotions flood through the farm animals, creating a sense of compliance within. The use of threatening tone within the lines “At this there was a terrible baying sound outside, and nine enormous dogs wearing

Planet Earth is the one and only home for humans, and it’s their natural duty to protect it and all of its inhabitants. For many people, the fate of animals is of little importance, especially when there are so many of their own species suffering throughout the world. However, only when one has respect for nature can he or she come to appreciate for his or herself. In the past few decades, some animals have progressively come closer and closer to extinction. When compared to demographics 30 years ago, less than 5% of tiger and rhino populations remain in the wild (Congressional). The main culprits for this abominable crime against nature are avaricious poachers who seek personal gain and profit. Poaching is the illegal killing of

Just because humans are considered a more powerful species, doesn’t give us the right to treat animals as if they are nothing. Would you want to be treated that way by a more dominant species just for their benefit? It is clearly unfair. If you pull your cat’s tail, it yells because it hurts. Animals experience pain. They go through the same pain that we would if we were subjected to painful, deadly experiments. Whether it’s a dog, cat, rabbit, mouse, chimpanzee, or human, pain is something we all feel.
