In 2005, the Vermont Teddy Bear Company produced a controversial bear for the Valentine holiday. The bear that was made was called “Crazy for You” and wore a straitjacket. It became an issue when the company was confronted for offending the mentally ill. After the problem became apparent to the organization, it responded by saying that it would continue selling the toy until the inventory was empty. It was put out for the public in January and was sold out by February 3. The ethical issue in this case is whether or not Vermont Teddy Bear Company handled the situation ethically correct.

I chose to write about the Senior Well Being Check. I think this is something that we see on the news during the cold winters, and the hot summers. Usually when we see this it is mostly showing how some of the elderly people in Chicago have to deal with not having air conditioning during the summer. I believe that this is one of better ideas that the city spends our taxpayer dollars for. Some of the elderly do not have any other family to check up on them to see how they are doing. Or if something horrific happens they do not know who to call. Another great feature to this is the ability to request follow up services to the elderly when they need it. We all have family that are getting up in their age, and knowing that the city is doing something

Are Native American’s culture from hundreds of years ago similar to our culture today? Native Americans believed in myths that they told to teach them about what they believe is right and wrong. A myth is a traditional story that involves an event that describes something about the natural world. These myths also explained why the geography of the area they live in is like that. Myths would be passed down from generation to generation by story telling in ceremonies where the whole tribe would have gathered. We have read “The World on the Turtle’s Back”, “Coyote and the Buffalo”, and Brother Bear. All of the these share the theme of explaining the workings of the natural world.

After the Civil War, the American Southerners had a strong trauma that could not be forgotten. Considering that William Faulkner was also one of these Southerners, approaching to his texts through a psychoanalytic lens would be a meaningful work. In fact, Faulkner is one of the rare writers who faced Southern racial ‘taboo’: the miscegenation. In addition, a Southern Renaissance that what Faulkner does with the South through his novels are very similar with what Freud did with the European civilization after the World War I in his work about ‘psychoanalytic mourning’ (Lee 229). Actually, Faulkner went through the World War I just like Freud did and he is one of the “Lost Generations”: a group of writers who were strongly affected by the inhumanity of war. Thus, this essay will focus on analyzing Faulkner’s “The Bear” in psychoanalytical view.

William Faulkner’s novella “The Bear” from his collection of works, Go Down Moses, is a symbolic exploration of the relationship between man and nature in the eyes of a young boy. The heart of the issue, the warped idea of the ownership of land, is revealed thought the clash of man and nature in a wild chase that ends only in blood and death. The prey is nature itself, represented by a bear, while the hunters are men, full of greed and destructive possessiveness, pursuing that which they do not understand. Ike’s idea of the bear, presented in section 1 of the novella, expresses the idea of symbolism in relation to the bear and to the hunters and what the battle between the two represents.

Bear Fighting [1] In a typical bear fighting event there are twenty five fights. In

In the passage from The Bear, Faulkner is outlining the reverent, supernatural, and fearful feelings that Isaac, as well as the others, placed on the bear in their minds and imaginations. Isaac at this point had never experienced the woods or the bear. He only heard the tales and stories his father and the other hunters told time and time again and glimpsed the fear in their eyes. The stories drew a undefeatable, powerful caricature of the bear and of the woods in Isaac’s mind. These narratives also revealed the lonely existence of the bear, and how he was without a wife or any children to pass his legacy onto. Somehow, it made him more formidable and invincible, and it strengthened Isaac's belief in the immortality of the bear, and how it

The black bear is the smallest North American bear. The adults are usually less than six feet long and stand about two to three feet tall at shoulders. The weight of a black bear varies between 125-500 ponds. They have small eyes and rounded ears. Also their snout is very long. Each paw has five very strong claws, which is used for tearing, digging, and climbing. One single hit from the front paw is enough to kill an adult deer. A black

Most of the time when I am writing a paper, I do not have a choice on what I am writing. But when I do get to choose my topic, then I can write about something that I enjoy and feel passionate about. In my experience with writing, I have chosen many topics. But most of them I probably did not enjoy writing about that particular topic. There are very few papers that I have written where I really enjoyed writing. But the paper that I am going to talk about was different for me because I wanted people to understand my point of view on the subject. And so, I felt compelled to write about the topic that I chose for this particular essay that I wrote in 9th grade. It is about technology, and its role and effect on society.
