Gorilla My Love Research Paper

      From the very first paragraph of the narrative, I noticed that there were several details that the narrator mentioned that required further, deeper thought. For me, this is what made the story appealing.

In Money Love, Lauren Slater explores the importance of life. Whether it be animal life of human life, each are proven to be equal, but in different ways. In the chapter, Slater even questions whether her daughter’s life is more important than a monkey’s, along with the human population in general. There is a part to humans that makes us much more likely to value our own lives over an animals’. The question is: is there really more value to a human’s life?

Trustworthiness is an important element in a relationship. It is the groundwork for dependability between two people, and from it, relationships grow and mature. When that trust is shattered, it creates a barrier between the two people. What defines a legal agreement with a business partner from a silly promise made to a child? In a child’s eyes, there is no distinction. A promise is a promise. In Toni Cade Bambara’s “Gorilla, My Love,” the evolving perspective of the distinction between an act of betrayal and the breaking of a juvenile pact is scrutinized through an incident between a child, Hazel, and her uncle, Hunca Bubba.

Chimpanzees are great apes that are the closest living relatives to humans (Larsen, 2014). These primates have been studied and observed intently for decades, and there are many theories that explain why they are the way they are. Chimpanzees learn the necessary skills of survival through social and cultural contexts and pass these traits along to their offspring. In researching these smart and interesting primates I have understood the social and cultural roles chimpanzees have that are necessary for survival. The mother- infant bond is crucial to the development of young chimpanzees and these females are known for teaching their young social roles and behavior, communication

I enjoyed this story about Jeanette Walls life. At times, it gave a depressing mood and to have to read some of the things the

From the 31 Rules of Courtly Love, I agree strongly with rule 31. It states Nothing forbids one woman being loved by two men or one man by two women. Equally important there are many examples displayed of this type of love all over. For instance the television show Love and Hip Hop Atlanta that is broadcasted on VH1, it's one man and two women. Another example includes Sister Wives that broadcasts on TLC which is a television show that involves one man and five wives. However, the movie Twilight also has a love triangle with two men and one woman. Additionally, the most accepted are in a common religion of Muslims, one man, and up to four wives. This form of Courtly Love is now a practice that is showcased to the world in a manner of explanation.

The article, “Critics Infuriated As Phx's Anti-Puppy Mill Law Upheld By U.S. District Court” was an article written by the Phoenix New Times. In 2013, the City of Phoenix in Arizona passed an ordinance regulating pet stores (“the Ordinance”). Under the Ordinance, pet stores may not sell dogs or cats obtained from persons or companies that breed animals. Pet stores may sell only animals obtained from animal shelters or rescue organizations. Puppies 'N Love operates a pet store in Phoenix that sells purebred dogs obtained from out-of-state breeders. Puppies 'N Love and its owners filed a suit against Phoenix in 2015,and one of its claim was that the Ordinance was a violation of the dormant Commerce Clause by closing the Phoenix market to out-of-state

For this paper I decided to visit Zoo Atlanta to observe lowland gorillas. I got to the zoo at around eleven in the morning and found out the feeding times for the gorillas. Once I found them, after watching them for a little while I selected the most active group to go watch during feeding. The point of this trip was to make me feel as if I was doing a field laboratory observation of primate social behavior and it definitely did. As you read my paper I will include what I saw, my feelings towards it, and also any questions or facts I received during my visit from volunteers or signs throughout the exhibit. To put this paper

In the short story, “Gorilla, My Love”, author Toni Cade Bambara narrates a story about the way children overanalyze little white lies. Bambara tells the story as if a child was talking in first-person view. Throughout the story Hazel talks about different instances of her share of what she thought was being lied to. The read was very enjoyable because it was something that I could relate to. For instance, when Hazel and her friend are at the movie theater and she says, “ …we yell some more and some kids slip under the rope and run up and down the aisle just to show it take more than some dusty ole velvet rope to tie us down.” (Bambara 450) As I child I thought I could anything I wanted and have no repercussions to pay,

Toni Cade Bambara's “Gorilla, My Love” is a 1972 short story narrated in first person by a young girl named Hazel. In “Gorilla, My Love”, Bambara explores the significance of integrity, particularly to children who have not yet learned to not take everything literally. The story begins with the narrator Hazel, riding passenger in Grandaddy Vales truck along with Hunca Bubba, and Baby Jason. Hunca Bubba believes that he has unlocked a new chapter in his life, so he asks to be called by his full name, Jefferson Winston Vale. He shows Hazel a photo of his new lover, the photo triggers Hazel to have a collage of scenes. Hazel re-calls to an event where she went to a cinema to watch Gorilla, My Love. Unfortunately, the film turned out to be a religious film. This caused Hazel to be quickly engulfed with rage. Hazel marched to the manager's office to demand a refund, the manager refused the refund;

Gorilla, My Love," by Toni Bambara, demonstrates how adults often undermine children and do not take them seriously due to the adults automatic assumption that because they are younger, they are also uneducated; therefore unable to be on the adults level of maturity and intelligence. One way that "Gorilla, My Love" shows how adults undermine children is when the wrong movie played in the theater. Hazel was with her friend Big Brood and Baby Jason and they start booing once a different movie played than what was expected and the guy

I'm reading "Marley and Me" by John Grogan It' about the story of John getting a dog and how he has struggles with the dog. The reason I picked this book was cause I feel like I can relate to this story. I use to have a dog when I was a kid he was a real struggle to he use to rip every thing apart. John got his dog when he was only ten year old in a farm only with dogs in it. He picked one that was not scared or timid and he named it shawn it was his best friend. It relates to me cause I got a dog named Lindo that was the worst dog ever he just always run away and jump the fence. I didn't really expect the book to have a lot of detail I thought it was going to be more like the movie just really simple. So far the book is really good better

I believe that what is at work in the extra credit about the cage and the five monkeys is obedience. The new monkeys do not know why they don't reach for the bananas but they still follow that rule because it is something that has always been done. The monkeys do not question this rule, they just follow it. Sometimes we follow rules without knowing their purporse or meanings.

The monkeys of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book are a very unique group of characters. They are viewed by the other animals of the jungle, or the Jungle People as they call themselves, as outcasts and outlaws. The most prominent chapter they occur in, “Kaa’s Hunting”, shows their lawless, shiftless, and uncivilized way of life. This image in itself does not give off any racist undertone. However, Disney’s adaption of The Jungle Book carries this view of the monkeys, while also giving them strong attributes that are commonly associated with African-Americans.

In Barbara Graham’s “The Future of Love”, she says long-term fairy tale romance inspires true love believers and their perspective towards love itself. Graham expresses the idea that to her, a lot of relationships fail because both partners in the relationship fall in love with an idealistic view of who the other person is. She explains that couples jump into relationships thinking their significant other was this perfect image they made him/her out to be only to come to realization that it was a figment of their imagination. Graham also defies the sappy happy endings that she says everyone believes in since heartbroken romantics oversee a lot of the incompatibilities and faults in a relationship to make it more
