I was at the front gate of the zoo. This is day marks the first year anniversary that I got hired to do my childhood dream job. Everything about this job is fantastic. I get to take care all the wonderful animals. I get to see all the little kid’s wonder in their eyes when they watch their favorite animals right in front of them. I love it.
“Charlie” my boss Linda waves me over. She looks worried or tired. I can’t tell. “Yes what is it?” I ask her. “Charlie three of the animals escaped from their cages. I don’t know what I’m going to do.” “Well which three is it?” I ask. “The white lion, Frost, the new baby elephant, Phineas, and one of the scarlet macaws, I don’t know which one though.” Linda takes a deep breath. “I’ve decided to team up the zookeepers in teams of three but we are missing the twins.” “So what do we do right now?” I ask. “Go to the break room that’s where everybody else is.” I head to the break room. “Charlie”, my coworkers say in unison. I don’t talk, I just take a seat at the table rubbing my forehead. I’m starting to get a headache due to all this stress that was brought upon my shoulders. About ten minutes later one of my coworkers, Roseanne gets a call from her walkie-talkie from Linda. “Roseanne, can you hear me” “Yes Linda I can” “Great, the twins just arrived so I need everybody out and to circle around me.”
Once we all got in a circle, Linda started to make groups of 3. “So let’s see if there’s 18 of you then there needs to be 6 groups of 3.”
About an hour later, the staff gains control over the stampede of rhinos. Teddy does a count of the rhinos and notice that one is missing. He notices immediately that it was Rhonda the rhino, that was missing. Every employee took alert of this because Rhonda was pregnant. Teddy knows that he will be a hero to FunJungle if he finds Rhonda. He also has to be careful to not get shot by the hunter who is in range. He will never give up to find his favorite animal. Teddy knows that he will find Rhonda, but it will be an extraordinary case.
Ms. Stephanie saw Miranda walking around squatting and crossing her legs and said “Miranda do you need to use the restroom I will hold your babies.” Miranda walked towards me and ignored Ms. Stephanie. I said “Miranda why don’t you go to the restroom and I will watch over your babies for you until you get back. I promise I will take really good care of them.” Miranda gave me her baby dolls and ran to the restroom where Ms. Alyssa helped her use the restroom. After Miranda came out of the restroom she washed her hands and then ran over to me to get her babies. I said “Here they are Miranda I kept them nice and safe.” Miranda said “Thank you!” I played with Siba and baby for a while longer. I put baby on an airplane and pretended to fly the puppy around Siba giggled. Ms. Alyssa told the children that it was time to get back on the circle time carpet so that they could read a book and pick the line leader for that day. Ms. Alyssa asked me if I would read the children a story before going outside. I read two books to the children both were about insects and the last book was called Mr. Bumble. After reading the two books Chase got picked as line leader for the
The most memorable trip my family has ever taken would be our trip to Disney World. My family and I have went to Disney three times, each time we have went I've had the best time of my life. Nothing could make me feel the way going to Disney with my family does. At Disney I have made memories that will last a lifetime. From the memories on the drive down to Florida to the memories we make while we are there. I remember the very first time I went, you can ride a ferry boat to get to Disney. We decided to ride over on the ferry instead of the monorail, just riding on the ferry was a different, and great experience from the rest.
Have you ever had a good or bad time at Disney World? Well, I have experienced a bit of both. My trip to Disney World had some real highs and lows of it.
Zoos present a certain blend of nature and culture. They have always provided a way to bring natural wildlife and urban Americans together as a means of entertainment. Yet, throughout the years the role of zoos have changed. Though once used for amusement, zoos are now being used for education on preservation and the welfare of endangered species. One may wonder where and how the idea of zoos started and just how they, and the environment around them, have changed throughout history.
Some people go to zoos to see the wild animals, but that’s not all that they are for. People in groups such as PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) may think that zoos cannot provide the needs to wild animals as the wild can. Zoos help animals. They have improved, helping to repopulate species and save animals in the wild.
“Howdy Emmett” Said Joseph. Then Emmet replied “Get to work and quit messing around.” “You know I’ve been thinking I’m going to tell I want a better place to stay, higher wages and less work hours…… I’m going to request to meet with him” Said Joseph. Emmet bewildered spun around with such speed it slightly spooked trampas and yelled “You Fool, three people have already tried to talk to him and he refused to even meet with them then he fired them!!!” “I think those are just rumors, everyone’s just to chicken to try.” Said Joseph. Annoyed Emmet glared at Joseph and said “Your job, if you lose it, it’s not my problem.” Emmett finished saddling Destiny and he rode to work with Joseph riding closely behind. They reached their destination dismounted and went their separate ways. A half hour later Joseph came up to Emmett dragging his feet and sullen. “Emmett” said Joseph. Emmet looked up from finishing his inspection. “What?” Emmett grumbled. “You were right, I just lost my job. He wouldn’t even meet with me” Joseph replied. Emmett glanced at him then said “What did I tell you?” “Yes, I know, you warned me. I’m going home” said Joseph. He walked over to Trampas, mounted him and rode off. 15 minutes later Jeff, Emmett’s co-worker came up to him and whispered “We are having a meeting 11 o’clock tonight at my place. Be there. Don’t ask any questions, just show up.” Then he walked away.
Having the best two days of my life. Hanging out, watching horrifying movies, and spending time with some teammates before one of the biggest cross country races that exist tomorrow morning. Hundreds of people were going to attend this event to cheer on a family member. Even though this was three years ago and I came just to support some of Forest Park cross country runners.
The day was filled with pandemonium and chaos. “My boss wouldn’t us leave. People were crying. All the radios and TV’s were on.” Kouski said. “It just wouldn’t stop.”
“Paradise Park Zoo” by Savannah Reich introduces the audience to caged animals that have anthropomorphic qualities, placing human characteristics on non-human animals or objects. Thus, the animals act more like humans than their animal counterpart. Using experimental psychology, the cages contend with an “elephant in the room.” As Reich examines an experiment that synthesizes how each cage would respond to an opportunity at freedom, the “elephant in the room” as opposed to feeling institutional oppression. In addition, Reich explores how the conflict affects capitalism through the lens of anarchism, patriarchy, and institutional oppression.
As Pa opened the door, his ginger hair and bright green eyes entered my vision. How are his eyes still bright during this storm? He’s the boss of William and Rose. He complained that they haven’t worked in three days. I remember his exact words. “Charles good to see you!” He said to Pa, shaking his hand. “Good to see you too. Why have you stopped by Ry?” Pa replied. “Willy and Rose haven’t worked in three days, and I ain’t gettin’ my money! I’m sure you ain’t gettin’ any money either. May I borrow them for the day?” Pa looked back at William and Rose. They’re faces in fear. Pa nodded, let out a sigh and turned to look back at Ryland. “Yes you may. But please, keep them safe out there and bring them back at 5pm sharp.” I snapped out of my thoughts. “Pa? What time is it?” Pa looked at his watch on his left wrist. “It’s 4:49pm sweetie. Your brother and sister will be here shortly. Well, I hope so.” Pa walked upstairs to talk to Ma and left me sitting there alone, at the kitchen table. About seven minutes later, there’s a knock at the door. I answer it and see a dirt covered William and a dusty covered Rose. “Willy? Rose? Are you guys okay?” I ask as they start walking to the kitchen. “Yes, we’re fine. Just very tired.” Rose says. I look back at the white door and see that I’m still holding it open. Ryland then appears. “Oh, I was expecting your father to be at the door Kathleen!” He let out a little laugh, then coughed. “They both worked very hard today. Well.. just tell your father that they both have four dollars in their hands.” He says. “Will do. See you soon Mr. Masterson.”, I say as I close the door and walk to the kitchen seeing two tired, stressed hard
Is there any coffee left?” Ernest asked, holding up his cup. “Sure,” Don said and filled it. “I don’t know if you knew it, but once Butch healed, he was the sweetest dog, I have ever seen. He lived in our home for years until we gave him to my nephew for his son.” Ernest smiled and said, “I never knew that. It was funny at the time you scared the hell out of me when you told me you gave no one discounts. If anybody asked for one that you charged them double.” “I remember the expression on your face was priceless.” “It surprised me when you told me, your name was Don and to never call you doctor again.” Ernest said, "It sure didn’t take you long to decide you wanted the sick animals, and I could have the healthy ones until we found homes for them. Was that your original plan?” “Oh, no, when I saw you with the injured dog, I knew at once, we could work together, and the stories around town about you were bullshit,” he said, as the phone rang. “Dr. Kelley, my I help you,” answering the phone, he said. “What’s wrong with Fluffy today?” “Sure, I’ll come by after work. It will not be necessary to bring Fluffy to the
What are you-all up too?” “Nothing much.” Simone and David walked in. “How’s Angelica?” ask David. “She’s sleeping.” said Marie. “I’m going to go and peep in.” said Simone. “She went to Angelicas room, walked in. Angelica was watching television. “Hey sleepy head, you’re woke.” “Hey Simone, Where’s David?” “He’s up front talking to Momma and Aunt Lori.” “How long you been here?” ask Angelica. “I just got here, Angelica, Momma told me that you’ve been having headaches, Are you okay?” “Yeah, I’m fine, the pain pills Mom gives me, stops it.” “You know I love you right.” “I know, Simone, Is it true?” “Is what true?” “I seen the news this morning, Is Brittany dead?” “Uh-.” “Simone, please, tell me, Is she dead?” Simone sat down next to Angelica.
The sounds of the birds was unpleasant, it was endless cries and screeches. As I looked around, I realized that I was just in a plane crash in the middle of the Amazon jungle. Immediately a panicking thought was in my head, Dakota, Mark, Leo, where are you!. A small voice came from the other side of the plane wreck, it was Leo and Mark, “ where’s Dakota, Mark had a horrid look on his face, “I- I don’t know I thought he was with you or something” “ look!” said Leo he’s over there, “ what where” said Mark and Trent under the that sheet of metal, they swiftly went over and pulled him out under the metal. “Hi guys you found me”, “of course we did said Leo, can you stand up through”, “yes just grab my arm”. They slowly lifted him up. “ now what? Said Mark”, Grape all the supplies we you can said Trent”. As they moved around picking anything they could use, they all dropped the items into a pile. Duct Tape, a hunting knife kit, a fire starter, little food, and a flare gun. “Come on we need to get moving, if you want to get help” said
The sun was shining, the sky was spotted with clouds, and the wind was whistling as it passed through the trees. Overall, it was the perfect day to visit the zoo. Smiling, happy children bounded beside me as I walked underneath the large, blue and yellow sign announcing “The Colorado Zoo.” As I walked onto the sidewalk, I looked out over the “habitats.” The big, colorful signs advertising the exotic animals “brought from all over the world!” Animals that were taken from their home, taken from their habitats, and taken to a world where they are put on display. Animals who are forced to live out their lives in zoos in unhealthy, degrading, and devastating ways.
