Questions On Past And Future

Science Fiction and the future are often interpreted in various different ways in both film and text. However the way in which both Hover Car Racer, written by Matthew Reily and Back to the Future Part II, directed by Robert Zemeckis, show interpretations of the future intertwined with a reality similar to the one we know today. Both Zemeckis and Reily interpret the future in a different manner, yet the predicted future shares many similarities including the use of Hover Technology as a transportation method. Reily depicts the future and Hover Technology being used as more then transportation, with uses such as sporting events. Antagonists cause issues for the central characters in both Zemeckis and Reily’s texts and the eventual successes

The book “Black Beauty” by Anna Sewell is a fiction autobiography about the ups and downs of Black Beauty, a horse in nineteenth-Century England. It starts with Beauty’s explanation of his life as a colt in the home of a great master named Farmer Grey. Beauty plays and runs in the meadow and receives lessons from his mother, Duchess, about the importance of being nice and gentle and never biting or kicking.

I remember as a little kid and now being fascinated by race horses. When I was around eight years old, my grandfather took me to a farm where they raise race horses. They were out exercising Mine That Bird and a few other horses. I thought it was so fascinating! The owner walked up to and asked if I enjoy watching them, I said very shyly,” yes sir.” He took me to the barn and let me look at all the foals and I was astonished. I got to thinking what all do they have to do to get these young foals ready to one day race? I asked Mr. Allen, and he said, “there are many things that you can do but some people don’t do the right thing and they cheat their way to victory”.

In the short story “Horses of the Night” the author uses horses to represent and symbolize the emotions of the main character Chris. Chris is a young man struggling through the great depression with unrealistic goals of going to college. At the beginning of the story Chris talks to his younger cousin Vanessa about his two horses Duchess and Firefly, which turn out to be imaginary. The horses are described as being sleek and so fast Chris could make

It’s the true story of how three men and a great racehorse captivated and inspired the entire world! Story has it that Sea Biscuit was a most unlikely champion because he was a small mud colored animal with forelegs that didn’t straighten all the way. In other words he had short, knobby knees that were distasteful to the experienced horse trader. The horse was that of a severely abused, beaten, and run- down w retch that no one paid any attention to. Sea Biscuit spent nearly two seasons floundering in the lowest ranks of racing, misunderstood and mishandled. Ironically his jockey, Red Pollard, was a poor young man who had been abandoned as a young boy at a makeshift race track that had been recently cut through a Montana hay field. Sea Biscuit’s trainer, a mysterious, almost mute mustang breaker named Tom Smith, was a refugee from a vanishing frontier, bearing with him generations of lost wisdom about the secrets of horses. Last, but not least, Sea Biscuit’s owner Charles Howard, was a broad, beaming former cavalryman that had begun his career as a bicycle mechanic before parlaying 21 cents into an all-time automotive empire. Then, one sunny, August day in Detroit, Pollard, Smith, and Howard formed an unlikely alliance. Each man independently recognizing the unseen, dormant talent in the horse, as well as in one another, began a sort of rehabilitation of Sea Biscuit that would lift him, and them, from obscurity and into the

Every day I would lug myself out of my bed while my alarm clock flashed 5:30 AM in bright red. I would forage though my dresser for a pair of worn out Wranglers, which I would match with an old button down shirt. I would slink down the stairs and out into the garage where I kept my aged boots and hat. I would restlessly pull the black square-toed boots over my tried feet and position the old dusty brown cowgirl hat on my head before I made my way to the barn. When I got to the barn I would gather up the eight main horses and lead them into the barn three at a time, and into their stalls. While the horses were preoccupied with their morning grain and hay, I would try to groom the young, untamed horses without getting my face kicked in. Once, they finished their meal I would lead them out to the pulling fence that was made out of large log telephone poles. The pulling fence was the site where these young horses would learn some hard life lessons. When I had fed all the older horses I would move on to the north pasture and gather up the colts and yearlings. I would repeat the same feeding and grooming regimen with them. All in all before I had my own breakfast, I would have seventeen horses curried, fed and tethered to the fence of the

This documentary focuses around the life of a young teenager who strives to become a professional horse rider. Despite growing up in a typical asian family, comprising of classic parents who wanted her to do the generic-type of job, such as an manager or a businesswoman, her unwithering passion for a set of beautiful mammals makes it so that she is prepared to throw away anything in order to reach her goal.

Julia Fincher in the article, The Future Four: Why Olympic Gymnastics Team Will Have Four Members in 2020, states that in 2020 the Olympic Gymnastics committee will be cutting the team sizes down from five to four members. This is a disadvantage and an advantage and can be argued from both sides, this article argues from both points of view.

Standing on his hind legs, this rare andalucian stallion is fearless. His ears are turned back while his noble looking head is held high. His all black coat glistens in the late afternoon sun. His face displays a strong confidence with his nostrils flared, his veins bulging from his cheek bones, and his fiery black eyes burning holes into the souls of those who stare into them. His neck muscles are tensed and thickened with adrenalin. His black main is thrown into the wind like a flag rippling in the winds of a tornado. His muscular front legs are brought up to his chest displaying his flashing gray hooves that could crush a man's scull with one blow. His backbone and underbelly are held almost straight up and his hind quarters are tensed.

What you think of a horse, what first comes to your mind? Majestic mane, gentle fur, and graceful trotting. Horses are dignified animals that are greatly respected, but have you ever wondered what horse riders think about horses? What do horses think about their owners In the stories “The Georges and the Jewels” and “Black Beauty: The Autobiography of a Horse” we get to have an insight on horses and horse rider’s thoughts and opinions. The piece “The Georges and the Jewels” is about a girl who was good friends with her horses until her father sold them for money.

Horse racing is an equestrian performance sport, involving two or more jockeys riding horses over a set distance for competition (“Horse Racing”). This simple sport has created an industry that supports a large portion of the economy as well as many families. In fact, a total of 7.1 million Americans are involved with this industry as well as about 844,531 horses ("US Horse Industry Statistics"). The horses that race are treated to the luxury of pampering and a healthy lifestyle. The industry is not flawless, but it does have a lot of good to offer. Horse racing is an incredibly hated topic amongst critics and animal activists, but there could be some positive aspects to the horse racing business.

Once upon a time, there were two horses. One was a prized horse that wore stars on its saddle whose name was Truman. The other was a horse that wore a red saddle and his name was Bolshevik. Both horses worked long and hard to become famous race horses. Bolshevik was a tough horse with a mean grin and was followed everywhere by his pack. All of the horses throughout the stable were scared to compete with Bolshevik, but Truman was always up for a challenge. Every day Truman would make sure that the horses were trained just as well as him. He would double-check their trot so it was fast enough to win. Then one day, when he went to greet two new horses that had just arrived from Italy, named S and V. S and V were neighbors that were lucky enough

Did you know that the average lifespan of a horse could range from 20-45 years? Horses have been domesticated in Eurasia since 4000 BC and were believed to be domesticated across the world by 3000 BC. They have evolved from a small, multi-toed animal called Eohippus into what they are today. In this essay, I will be showing you how two different breeds of horses, the Akhal Teke and shire, and how they can be so different although they are both horses. The differences and similarities between the Akhal Teke and the Shire are striking and deserve through examination. Some examples would be how they show, their physical appearance,

As time goes on, human starts not to rely on horses’ meat and milk because human gets choices with life quality advancing. For instance, horses’ milk is replaced by cow’s milk because it tastes much better. Human starts to take advantage of horses; they ride the horse rather than eat the horse. This change leads horsemanship

I was sitting on a paint mare called Harley, a volatile horse, preparing to jump a course of fences. Jumping horses is a similar to stacking a house of cards; to succeed you must have every card in perfect alignment, and then you can hope no one breathes. Creating perfection is almost inevitable, the rider’s equation may be the textbook ideal, but their effectiveness over the horse is insignificant. My problem was that I looked like the latest Horse and Rider cover, I became a passenger, not
