Natasha Mikhailova's The Jungle Book

Generally, when innocence is thought of, the first speculation recalled to one’s mind is the thought of pureness and the idea that the specific individual is free from moral wrong. On the other end of the spectrum is the term known as guilt. Guilt is the emotional notion in which one feels that they have compromised his or her own standards in a negative way. In the novel Sarah’s Key, Sarah frequently proves to struggle with both guilt and innocence. These specific themes are put on display when Sarah realizes she is not going back home, the scenario in which Sarah boards the cattle car to the camps, and the tragic event in which Sarah takes her own life.

According to the growth and development of the attachment theory, children are part of the regenerative entities in the human society. This is also applicable in the animal world. In a study involving monkeys, it is evident that all living creatures exhibit tenderness to the young. Evidently, it is becomes possible to have elements of concern that are directed at influencing the general growth and development of a child. Children have a tendency

Primates are one of the most interesting mammals on earth, not only because of their complex social structures, but because they hold so many similar characteristics to humans. Primates are often cited as our closest living relatives and on two separate occasions I observed four separate species of primates at the San Diego Zoo that can justify their use of their physical characteristics and behaviors that may be similar as well as different to the other primates and ours.

Within this essay, we will study more in depth the behavioral as well as physical traits of two primates at a zoo from their interaction with their peers to their place in the group. This observation would enable us to further understand the possible existing correlation between humans and primates. First, I studied a female chimpanzee with her baby, and then, a dominant male gorilla, in San Francisco Zoo at about noon, on May 23, 2015, for an hour each. Even though they share some similarities such as having a large brain, living for a long time, and being bored in their enclosure, they are still different; when gorillas are the largest, chimpanzees are the smartest. In fact, chimps use tools to catch food, they would not be able to reach

I primarily observed three orangutans, one male, one female, and one juvenile, of Sumatran and Bornean descent, scientifically known as Pongo abelli and Pongo pygmaeus, respectively, and to a lesser extent, two gibbons known as siamangs, or Symphalangus syndactylus. These primates share the same enclosure in the San Diego Zoo in California. I observed the orangutans from 12:58 P.M. to 2:00 P.M. CST on September 19th. During this time frame, the three orangutans mainly stayed high up in their man-made structures, consisting of multiple metal bars covered with nets, ropes, and hammocks. The female and juvenile orangutans stayed above ground from 12:58 P.M. to 1:31 P.M., and again from 1:48 P.M. until 2:00 P.M, approximately 45 minutes. During

Primate conservation has long been a topic of debate, reliant most heavily on the struggle to provide the necessary resources to combat the declining rate of population growth among various species. Orangutans in particular, both Sumatran and Bornean, have experienced a rapid drop in their free-living populations. With an estimate of only 27,000 left in the wild, questions have been raised over what selective pressures are impacting the steady decline of these animals existence. While hunting and poaching have been identified as contributing factors, habitat loss primarily takes center stage in their demise. Conservation efforts have been made and continue to be somewhat successful, however, challenges and set backs continue to threaten

In “Jungle of Bones” by Ben Mikaelsen, the main characters' annoyed & blamingful qualities contribute to the theme of don't let life's hard ache define you. For example, Dylan is greedy because he got into an argument with his mom over his dad not helping with the family. “getting himself killed.”(12) Additionally, Dylan shows a lack of desire to his father when he says ”he should’ve been there”...(14) The evidence shows the theme is don't let life's hard ache fine you ; it talks about Dylan blaming his father for his choices. Furthermore, it also talks about how Dylan blames his dad for leaving the family and knowing the risks of going to war. Ultimately, this concludes Dylan’s traits of lack of annoyed and blamingful, contributes the author's

Orangutans (Figure 3) are our first cousins since they share 97 percent of our genetic material. Contrary to other apes, orangutans are semi solitary which is unique in its social organization (3). Adult males which are the most solitary, and they associate with only their current, former, and potential consorts. For the semi-solitary orangutans, the only playmate is its mother. Even female adults are more social than male ones, rarely they groom, touch, hold hands, chase, or fight. On rare occasions, female adults may groom; however, it lasts only few seconds. Sometimes, female adults meet and travel with one another to express the close relationship. The long call by a male orangutan expresses an alert to others about his presence. Usually, other orangutans only react if the call is close by or aggressive towards them. Male orangutan can use vocalization to express that he is angry and frustrated, and that call signals a threat to another male (3). Female orangutans also produce vocalization when they get upset by the presence of another male.

For the Orangutan in the zoo each enclosure they had a total of three orangutan in each pen, most were all adults, except one which was a young juvenile. As well as it is appear to be that none of these orangutan are a part of a subgroup because some, if not all isolated themselves from others. In which is very common according to Lang C. (2005), "Adult males and independent adolescents of both sexes range alone while adult females range with their dependent and weaned offspring" (Primate Factsheet pongo, para. 1). So the zoo's orangutan act very similar to the wild ones. Next the differences is how are they physically built between in each others. For the orangutan, if they are standing they are about 5 feet tall, however including arm and leg span due to how they are built to climb and swing to places their body size will be seven feet tall. Another difference was that they had no tail due to they ancestors evolution to who they are now, which remove the chance of having the ability to have a prehensile tail in the process. The last physically difference is their hands. They have all fingers and thumbs, but they don't use their thumbs to grab; they use mostly their fingers to grasp objects. Which make them who they are

The chimpanzees were captured over three decades ago and kept in cage that was far too small, deep in the jungle of Vilab. The island soon earned the nickname “Monkey Island.” While living in cages the chimpanzees were deprived of natural food and the water in the region was

Orangutans are amongst the most iconic species in wildlife conservation (Meijaard, E., Wich, S., Ancrenaz, M., & Marshall, A J., 2012) Their behaviours and facial expressions give them an uncannily human like personality. Their genetic comparisons, cognitive and behavioural similarities indicate a close evolutionary relationship between humans and themselves. [REF] There are two species of the Orangutan, the Sumatran Orangutan (Pongo abelii) and the Bornean Orangautan (Pongo pygmaeus). The Sumatran orangutan belongs exclusively to the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. This species is rarer than its Bornean equivalent. The Sumatran orangutan lives mainly amongst the trees of tropical rainforests, and rely heavily on these forests for survival.

In Sonia Boyce’s piece From Tarzan to Rambo: English Born ‘Native’ Considers her Relationship to the Constructed/Self Image and her Roots in Reconstruction (1987), Boyce tackles the ideas of race, gender, and national identity. This piece was created by combining photographs and several collage techniques. As implied from the title of the work, images from films and comics were integrated within the piece as well. In an interview, Boyce described her process, stating that “the photographs were done in a photo booth and then [she] did collage bits around it…it was really a case of making a composition with various bits that were taken from various places and then the figure of Tarzan and of the natives were literally traced from the comics and then laid on.” Essentially, the entire work is a photograph with several drawings added on top. Six self-portraits of the artist are featured in the work to further implement the message of identity. Additionally, “the collage included photocopies of African cloth, leaves, cut-out images of ‘gollywogs,’ and a tracing of ‘natives’ among jungle foliage…Boyce drew the figure of Tarzan with black felt-tip pen towards the bottom left.” The viewer can also take notice of the elaborate shading in the portraits, the meticulously drawn border, and the use of acrylic paint.

It's summertime and the Shakespeare is easy. Well, if not easy, it's there, in professional and amateur productions all over the country, all summer long. Summer Shakespeare is often the first introduction children have to the playwright and his work, and it can be rough going for young audience members, especially if they arrive without preparation.
