The Grey Wolves

This works by engaging the reader in a narrative story, while educating the reader about wolves. “In the 1970s, many humans began to realize that you are not the monster from fairy tales, that those stories have been greatly exaggerated.” The author use the word you to describe wolves. The word you makes it feel like a story, like you are the wolf. All this helps the reader to fit better into the article as a wolf. That way you can better understand the author’s reasoning. The author also educates the reader about wolves, but does so from a second point of view to better interest the

Through educating the reader, Kleiman encourages the public to create an informed opinion on the controversy. Kleiman instantly assures the reader that he is a reliable, certain source from the very beginning of the section. He starts his argument with the phrase “It should be noted...” This fragment portrays the idea that the following statements are of truth, not simply his opinion (an application of ethos.) This instils the readers’ trust in Kleiman that he is presenting facts to assist the reader in creating an expert judgement on the subject rather than bestowing his opinion to make a point. Another technique Kleiman uses is repeating multiple points made in “Blackfish” and, in a sense, using them against the film by simply disproving the “purposefully misleading edit(s)” in the film with concrete facts and conclusive data. For example, the film shows footage of an older orca hunt in the ocean as a voiceover speaks about a captive orca who was taken from the wild for SeaWorld. Kleiman reveals that the footage is not proof of the orca’s capture, but rather clever editing. He exposes that the film is from a completely unrelated orca hunt for the capture of the killer whale used in the film “Free Willy”. Continuing to explain the manipulation of film in “Blackfish,” Kleiman provides the reader with evidence as to why the two captures do not correlate, such as a logo of a different theme park on camera and providing extra data about the capture of “Free Willy”. By disproving the points made in “Blackfish” that are supposed to make viewers feel as though orcas in captivity are bad news, Kleiman opens up opportunities for readers to process true facts for themselves without an

            For years, wolves have been falsely accused for crimes in stories, myths, and life. In Never Cry Wolf, author Farley Mowat demonstrates how even though wolves are mistakenly stereotyped as evil; people don’t know anything without evidence. Farley Mowat takes a trip to Churchill, Canada, to study Arctic wolves for the Canadian Wildlife Service. He is studying the Arctic wolves because he needs to prove that the wolves are killing all the migrating caribou. During the entire book, he witnesses and experiences, new journeys about wolves and Eskimos, throughout his time in the tundra. Mowat learns over time, how wolves are mischaracterized from who they

While Blackfish does not touch upon any of the good that SeaWorld does. Again, this does not mean that the film is unreliable in and of itself. However, it again casts reasonable doubt over the film’s veracity, an issue that the director of a compelling film should strive to avoid. If Cowperthwaite aimed simply to get people thinking, she would have given viewers a positive perspective as well, so as to enable viewers to conduct their own robust cost-benefit analyses of SeaWorld’s business

Throughout the story however, It becomes apparent the narrator isn 't just one of those weird ' 'dog people ' ' (like myself). The humanized wolf is seen by some of the other people in the story exactly like she does. In the second paragraph of the story she mentions this, an old man named Grady - who lives next to a community garden and Bessie, a homeless woman who lives out of a shopping cart are also acquainted with the wolf. It seems to me that the narrator isn 't trying to teach us good morals for animal equality with the tale. She is trying to get another point across with the constant presence of the being throughout the story, and the highlighting of the certain

Upon first reading “St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves,” it might seem like an imaginative fantasy and nothing else. The story focuses on the daughters of a pack of werewolves, and it takes place in a world where the werewolves and their daughters are nothing out of the ordinary. But upon closer examination, this is a story rooted in reality. This inventive tale parallels several real world phenomena. Karen Russell uses allegory in “St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves” to objectify western society’s views of people outside of that society and of outsiders in general, and compare them to the views that people have of wild animals.

What do you think of wolves? Do you think they’re blood-thirsty killers, or do you think they are rather friendly animals? In the book, Never Cry Wolf, (1963) the author, Farley Mowat, writes about his excursion to the sub arctic Barren Lands of Canada to study how wolves act and how the community is being affected by the wolves. The people of Churchill lead Mowat to believe the wolves are something that they aren’t, which is a blood-thirsty killer. Mowat then uses the rhetorical strategy Pathos throughout the book to show you how he personifies the wolves and how fear is all in our minds.

The idea behind The Wolves is a portrait of liberty, life, and the pursuit of happiness for nine girls who just want to play some soccer. We can see this throughout the play whether it’s when they are talking about serious issues like the Khmer Rouge or when they are all just goofing off eating orange slices. The scene that really shows this idea is

I think the purpose of this article is to inform other people about animals. Yes, the writer wants readers to change their mind about how they treat and see animals as.

The purpose of writing the article Wolf Wars was to inform the reader about new situations in the west. The reason is to inform the reader of what problems wolves have been causing. In the article, the Author explains of how wolves became endangered and then flourished once more.

This so-called balanced view was presented in a program in which the “most misrepresented issues concerned the economic impact of wolves. Ranchers were allowed to claim unsubstantiated losses, with no attempt to validate the accuracy of these claims” (Laverty, par. 2). In granting the balanced view sought by the legislature, the “program portrayed the salt of the earth rancher as a poor victim of the federal government’s whim to restore the ‘killers’” (Laverty, par. 2).

Without the proper knowledge needed to understand how the wolf works, the creature is inaccurately shown as a wild, vicious killer. As Mowat progresses through his research he learns about the wolves hunting abilities and begins to acquire new information and states,” I could hardly believe that the all-powerful and intelligent wolf would limit his predation on the caribou herds to culling the sick and infirm when he could presumably, take his choice of the fattest and most succulent individuals” (Mowat 126). The way the government and people portray wolves as mindless killers is not only false, but it is far from the truth. Wolves are instead intelligent creatures that have the ability to choose and pick the right kill. Also, as Mowat researches their eating habits he finds that “the wolves of Wolf House Bay, and, by inference at least, all the Barren Land wolves who were raising families outside the summer caribou range, were living largely, on mice” (Mowat 107). During the summer the wolves weren’t even that cause of the deaths of caribou. Instead they found new resources to live off of when the caribou leave so they can continue to survive. This information is an exact contrast to the

The wolf was once a much slandered animal. In the western world, people feared and hated wolves, and this legacy is reflected in stories such as Little Red Riding Hood and The Boy Who Cried Wolf. In these popular children's tales the wolf is made out to be a prowler and a killer of livestock and people. There is some basis for The Boy Who Cried Wolf, for wolves have killed cattle and sheep. But what of Little Red Riding Hood? There are no records of wolves killing humans in Canada or the United States. Yet, when wolves were spotted near rural communities, fear used to grip the populace, but over time this has become less prevalent.

Werner Herzog directed a documentary film called Grizzly Man to show viewers how much interest Timothy Treadwell demonstrated towards human nature and how he demonstrates human nature through himself. Timothy Treadwell spent thirteen long summers in Alaskan Peninsula. He went to go portray his love and protection to the wild life and grizzly bears, which lead him to his miserable death. Herzog creates a sequence of scenes, comments, and interviews from people who is well connected directly or indirectly with Treadwell. His purpose of directing the Grizzly Man documentary through Treadwell’s own film was to convey the viewers the difference of human beings and the wild life animals. Herzog’s main effective argument was to convey how courageous and how insane Treadwell was to spend thirteen summers in the wild life of grizzly bears.

In this paper I will analyze two characters in two separate works, one from a literary text and one from a film. The focus of this paper will be on heroes that have a relationship to an element of mythology. I will use the character Odysseus from Homer’s epic poem, “The Odyssey” and the character Wonder Woman from the American superhero film “Wonder Woman”. In this essay I will analyze the gender, appearance, actions, and roles that these heroes have. Throughout this essay, I will also discuss the negative characteristics that both these heroes have, such as their violent actions towards others. Heroes possess numerous qualities that make them great, however, there are certain qualities of a hero that are consistent throughout Greek mythology; bravery, intelligence, and strength. These qualities are significant to these two Greek Mythologies because these heroes are known to bravely risk their lives for others, using their wisdom to guide them, all while fighting strongly for what they believe in. This paper will serve to prove that regardless of the gender of each of these personas, the characteristics that define a hero remain consistent.
