Nyms: A Fictional Narrative

The dogs first run into difficulty with their gift of intelligence when it becomes obvious to them that there are different levels of comprehension of their ability to communicate using their new language. Prince is a dog who shows a deeper understanding and love for language compared to the others. We see Alexis bring this point out in the novel when he says, “Prince's words had not been meant as a warning. Rather, he had been playing. He had been pretending. He had been speaking for speaking's sake. Could there be a more despicable use for words?” (28). Prince, being a very clever and curious dog, begins to expand the language,

Sergeant Stubby deserves his title as the bravest dog of World War I not only due to his heroic actions on the battle front, but also the comforting effect he had on the American home front after the war. Many times we don’t think about the animals it takes to fight a war. From the pack horses on the battle front to the kittens back at home, it takes many animals to get a country through a war. Sadly, many of the animals on the battle front die without anyone, aside from their unit, caring. However, there are a few who’s contribution to the war is recognized and who’s stories is told for generations. It is through these few animals that the important contribution of animals’ role in war is recognized. Sergeant Stubby is one of the lucky few

Jonathan Blais Mr. Ersinghaus Story Critiques 9 May 2011 My Kid’s Dog and Irony Ron Hansen’s work, My Kid’s Dog, is a story about revenge, irony, and circularity. The family pet, Sparky, dies. We are informed of this in the first lines of the piece, “My kid’s dog died. Sparky. I hated that dog

Ignorance rolled off of this brute, and his sexism wasn't something that Hawk was likely to forget anytime soon. Sexism had never been something she was faced with, even being the only female in her unit. His lips had curled over his teeth, and his ears had pinned back against his skull. The Labrador had fought before, and had even fought dogs of his caliber, but his mindset had caught her off guard. Her muscles tightened, and then relaxed giving her the ability to move more quickly than a canine who was tense.

Buck was determined to kill Spitz. While pursuing that mission, though, he not only risked his life, but the teamwork of the other dogs. “It was to the death,” (London 31). This text shows how Buck risked his life because the fight between him and Spitz was “to the death”. “With the covert mutiny of Buck, a general insubordination sprang up and increased,” (London 28). This text shows how Buck risked his teamwork with the other dogs because Spitz and him were always fighting.

Buck learned quickly what was expected of him. He knew that he would be beaten. Not only did he have to worry about his owners beating him but the other dogs. They kept each other in line and moving while in the traces. His first to owners ran him over 2500 miles. Then the third owner ran him more. The next owners had no idea what they were doing. The dogs would not work for them inspite of severe beatings.

Mawson and 30 other men went to go explore unknown territory. They had done research and went to go see for themselves. When they started their voyage Mawson heard one of this dog’s yelp. When Mawson turned around, he saw the look of alarm on

Much like a tiger, the rage on Laim's face was There was nothing fearful on his face or his eyes though he struggled for air. Just excitment—purely scientific of course nothing base or human or so he told himself— to see some of the immortal's non human skills. But soon a lack of air went to his head and he struggle to get out of Laim's gasp. "Let.. Go.." he rasped, eyes no less intense as they narrowed to a glare, his face red and turning blue now. Being shaken did not help either, but when Laim let him go he gasp for air, rubbing his throat. No anger or fear still, just excitement.

The air between them had cooled considerably, a fact that she was thankful for. It would not do for a fight to break out here, not with her in this condition. Barely anything good could ever come of violence, and the few things that seemed to always had a vicious backswing attached to them. Everyone payed when two wolves fought-- be it their families, friends, or the wolves themselves-- even thought they knew not the price.

Each dog were living in a dog house at different place around the island and John’s house located the center of the island. Each of the dog were very special, they have their own character. The first dog, its name was sunny, name as its look. It had red fur, and it’s an ardor and polite dog. It always being like a brother of the other dogs took care of them. Thunder, it liked what its name, fast, strong. When it barks, its voice could hear all around the island. Breeze was a big and fleshy dog. It loved to play with sunny, but it didn’t like to play with Thunder. Drizzle was a sensitive and emotional dog, no matter anything would hurt or scare it, it will cry.

Oh no! Here comes Miss Goody two shoes and those cruel men. What do they want now? The dogs they brought with them looked beat. They treats those dog so badly, and I’m pretty sure that’s animal abuse. I don’t know how they look at themselves at night knowing the way they treat these innocent animals. Those pups were hungry and suffering. They have not rested in weeks and Hal and Charles will not let them have a break. It looks like Mercedes is slowing down the journey and probably being very difficult. I met a dog named Buck today, a brave dog. While Hal beat and whipped him (to make him continue dragging the sled), he refused. Hal whipped and abused and I watched in anger. Finally, I could resist no longer and I pulled him back! He tried

Whenever irony is voiced, embarrassment emerges within me along with the date December 26, 2016, where my brother and I were snowboarding for the first time at "Nub's On Nob", a ski resort in northern Michigan. Once we received the basic training of how to maneuver the snowboards and the manners of safety that we should pursue, we began a day of repetitive actions such as riding the lift and gliding down a snow filled hill. After a few mindless hours of this process, my brother eventually leans close to my visage and says "I am surprised, neither one of us have ran into anyone going down the hill so far". At first I merely passed it off as a simple joke but once off the ski lift my mind began to race towards the idea of accidentally running

“She didn’t do anything wrong,” said Midnight. “I’m giving all of you the opportunity to have a voice to speak with the humans, but you betray me,” repeated Marley the Goddess Chien. “I won’t happen again, remember she’s a pup.” Midnight stated. “I’m sorry Marley,” Dot said. “Okay. This will be all of your

It is often said that a dog is a man’s best friend. In the last 14,000 years, dogs have accompanied man by helping him hunt, guard, and protect. In our modern world, dogs help us combat in war, search-and-rescue, guide the blind, deaf, discapacitated, rehabilitate patients in therapy, aid law enforcement, and are part of our family as beloved pets (Coren). Although canine superstars such as Lassie, Old Yeller, and Rin Tin Tin portray the perfect dog we all want in our lives, these ideals are far from the truth. Many first-time dog owners expect dogs to know behaviors such as how to walk on a leash, not bite, not destroy the house, and in addition to many others. In reality, dogs must be trained on what their handler wants them to do. It is
