My Stuffed Horse Research Paper

Humans struggle their entire lives to find affection that satisfies them. We assign this affection to objects that we obtain throughout our lives. An engagement ring, for example, is a large meaning attached to a small object. While it still has quite a high expense, women care more about the man who it’s from than the store, well, hopefully. In Akiko Busch’s story The Uncommon Life of Common Objects, she explores the objects her two sons, and people in general, become attached to over time. There’s a certain box she brings up and says “Sometimes the little box had value, sometimes it had none, and its worth seemed to come and go, by pure chance” (1). She discusses why certain things are worth more than others and why certain things have more

In today’s society, people put money on expensive or luxurious items in order to have a better appearance and to bring them happiness. Walker concerned about the society's definition of “ Valuable” and how human put values on objects. She points out people should place value on love, family and friends instead of diamond, gold and other materialistic things.

Today, I’m writing about growing up. I recently moved in to my grandparents’ house. I spent summer vacation here, every year, so a lot of my old toys are here. Just a few weeks ago, my grandmother wanted me to go through two boxes of stuffed animals. She was originally just going to put them all in storage, but most of my things were in boxes and she thought it might help me cope with the move to keep some with me.

Wild horses and burros are starving in the ten western states consisting of Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming. The Grazing service combined with General Land office creating the Bureau of Land Management. The Bureau of Land Management or BLM manages, protects, and controls the wild horse and burro population under the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act. This law authorizees the BLM to regulate the population to sustain a healthy environment. The wild horses and burros are found in herd management areas across the ten western states. The estimated total wild horses and burros in California is 8,316 with the maximum limit of 2,200. In Nevada, 34,531 wild horses and burros are

The horse (Equus ferus caballus)[2][3] is one of two extant subspecies of Equus ferus. It is an odd-toed ungulate mammal belonging to the taxonomic family Equidae. The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature, Eohippus, into the large, single-toed animal of today. Humans began to domesticate horses around 4000 BC, and their domestication is believed to have been widespread by 3000 BC. Horses in the subspecies caballus are domesticated, although some domesticated populations live in the wild as feral horses. These feral populations are not true wild horses, as this term is used to describe horses that have never been domesticated, such as the endangered Przewalski's horse, a separate subspecies, and the only remaining true wild horse. There is an extensive, specialized vocabulary used to describe equine-related concepts, covering everything from anatomy to life stages, size, colors, markings, breeds, locomotion, and behavior.

Things that are valuable to us can be things that are old or that have family value and some of the values can also come from our memories. Some of the values that we have, might not be bought with money. There are many treasures in the world but it is all in the person.Everyone has a different perspective of what something valuable can be to them. When people who have the chance to get anything they want, they don’t seem to value everything they have but when you compare it to a person who doesn’t have the chance to get everything they find even the smallest things valuable to them.

All great legends in history must be honored for their sacrifice and leadership that marks a path in recent history. This is why one of the most patriotic and legendary warriors of the Old West known as Crazy Horse is still considered a historical symbol. Crazy Horse was a true American Indian whose independent and fierce spirit during a battle aids as an example of how a leader ought to be. His journey is a celebration of his time and his legacy. Let us reminisce about this era and how Crazy Horse arose to be a fearless Lakota leader.

The Quarter horse is a common breed that does many different kinds of sports. The main sports that the Quarter horse is found to compete in is rodeo events, horse racing, and some jumping events. These horses are very common in the United States especially for these different sports that they do (Blocksdorf, 2018).

Whether a present is bought at a store or crafted by hand, there is still a great deal of valuable thought and meaning behind it. Unfortunately, nowadays most people believe that a price tag is what dictates an object's worth. However, value is determined by at least one person's perception of worth because relationships are valuable, history increases value, and the public's desires decrease value.

The first item I chose was the unicorn. I chose this because it represents my positivity and creativity. This majestic animal is unique just like me. Everyone is different in their own ways, just like how unicorns are un-similar to horses.

My artifact is brown and black with almost 2 decades’ worth of memories; this object is my stuffed Rottweiler named Max. This artifact, although motionless with four legs, has walked to the moon and back with me as a child full of imagination. This artifact stores the most precious memories and has been with me at every step in my life. Max is very meaningful to me because we have shared many memories, from birth until now. My stuffed animal has been with me through every ups and downs in life, every change that has ever occurred to me, has been a part my past and present; and represents my future.

Looking at the cute little plush animal I had just won, I felt quite accomplished. This dolphin was not just any stuffed animal; it came from a claw machine. Those stupid, money sucking machines that are near impossible to win something from. Blue and white and surprisingly good quality, this dolphin was mine. Many years back in the month of June, my grandparents wanted to take me out to eat for a birthday lunch. As a kid, I really enjoyed Steak n’ Shake, mostly because I enjoy milkshakes, so that is where I decided to go. My mother, sister, aunt, and cousins also joined us for the celebratory meal.

My life is similar to any other teenager. I wake up, get ready, leave late for school, tough it out through the day, go home, do homework, and then finally go to sleep. The usual, right? Well, my childhood wasn't that special either. I was a little girl with too many Barbie's, stuffed animals, and Polly Pockets to count. And like so many others, I had a special stuffed animal that I could not sleep without. Her name is Tiger.

Ever since I was a child I knew that I wanted to work with animals. Horses, in particular, have always fascinated me. After much begging, pleading, years of convincing, and always working hard to save up money, I convinced my parents to allow me to buy a horse. To me, Indie was the most beautiful quarter horse I could have ever dreamed of getting. Since our purchase of Indie, we have acquired another horse, Sherman, and a pony, Tucker. Although the horses have always been hard work, they were worth every sweaty hot summer evening of mucking out the stalls and frigid winter mornings of carrying water to the trough in order to avoid freezing our hoses. After all, I used to dream of being a veterinarian and helping all kinds of animals in some way.

Most individuals have an object that holds a high value to them and affects their life in one way or another. Behind each object, is a story to be told. Like most people, I have an object in my life that I cherish dearly and will always appreciate because of the positive effect it has on my life. The object is soft to the touch, is a variety of colors, and can be made into a tangible object. The object is extremely important in my life because it has taught me a life lesson that I will always cherish and the object also reminds me of an individual that pushes me to be the best individual I can possibly be and strive for greatness no matter the state of a situation.
