Travis Parker Accident

Afterall, he had just lost his dog, Bell, to a rattlesnake bite, and the attachment to both Bell and his father cannot be replaced so soon. With his father gone away for several months and Bell dead at the fangs of a rattlesnake, Travis has some major adjustments to make in terms of his “internal model of self.” He needs to take on the rolf of a man. He has many conflicting roles to deal with—disciplinarian to his younger brother, Arliss, only to get scolded by his mother for doing so which leaves him feeling there is no winning because of the conflict caused by assuming so many roles—boy, playmate, man, and protector. These conflicts frustrate Travis who thought it was not fair and thinks to himself, “how could I be the man of the family if nobody paid any attention to what I thought or said…I sulked and felt sorry for myself all the time…[and] the more I thought of it the angrier I at got at that big yeller dog.” (Gibson 1956). Travis feels offended, too, that Lisbeth turns out to be a big help. She helps by getting the water and gathering the corn, and has a good time laughing with Mama and Arliss. It hurts Travis’ pride to see him so easily replaced by a girl. He consoles himself by remembering that he can hunt, mark hogs and swing an axe, and she cannot (studymode 2014).

Deej Logan was just like any normal high school girl. She woke up on her first day of school and combed her hair, picked out the “perfect” outfit and headed out the door. What she didn’t know is that after that day nothing would be the same. Nothing that day seemed to be going right. At school drama was swarming all around her, not exactly what she hoped the first day would be like. By the time the last bell of the day rang she was more than happy to get out of that school. She drove home as quickly as she could but as soon as she got home she realized that she had forgotten to pick up her sisters. “Great.” She thought sarcastically as she sat back down in her car and drove off. Just then she pulled out her phone to message one of her friends about her awful day. That one decision changed everything. Before she had a chance to send the message Deej veered off into oncoming traffic and was killed on impact.

The Dalai Lama once said, “I hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest” (BrainyQuotes.com). Hope is a subject that is heavily present in “Accident” by Todd Davis. Typically, spring is a symbol for hope. It often brings people brighter thoughts after cold, dark winters. Support can also affect how optimistic a person is. The purpose of a person’s life is a large source of hope. In the poem, the narrator is thinking about a recent event in which a man killed himself. The son of the suicidal man and the child of the narrator were friends, and the narrator is contemplating why the man shot himself. The narrator does not understand why the man could not find hope. In “Accident”, Todd Davis proposes that through seasonal metaphors, family support, and a person’s purpose, hope can always be found.

My face beginning is sweat bullets, the heel cracked clean off the bottom of one of my new stilettos, and my stomach growling in such hunger as each street sign becomes a blur. I’m sure this couldn’t get worse. It does. The clouds break and it begins to pour down. Just my luck since Jackson wants to dash off into some bushes and leave me to a wild goose chase. I’m not really running but I’m speed walking. After awhile thoughts of hope turn into acceptance. I’m sure he’ll find a lovely owner who’ll put up with his spoiled butt. I snap out of it. I love that fur ball. I look down and see Jackson’s leash in the sand. I’m close. I begin to pray. I’m sure some nice soul will read his collar and bring him back home. I begin to head home and I pray some more. “God please help me find Jackson, after all she’s all I have out here.” My throat begins to get tight. To my surprise and relief I hear him bark. I turn the corner and look up only to see Jackson in the arms of a man standing on my steps.

One of the biggest dog busts of the century was in 2007. The man in charge’s name was Michael Vick, a quarterback football player in the NFL. Under the name “Bad Newz Kennels”, dogs were beaten, murdered, and gambled on. The dogs found alive were some of the most damaged possible. Missing parts of their jaws, lost eyesight, or non existent limbs, one would wonder why they kept going, striving for acceptance from their owner. These dogs, to the public seemed dangerous, after all they had killed their entire lives. However, Best Friends Animal Sanctuary was willing to take up the task of these gorgeous animals, ultimately saving their lives. The sanctuary took in 22 dogs, 10 of them, now adopted and living in homes of their own.Through rehabilitation the dogs were taught how to trust, interact and most importantly what love truly is with different trainers daily. Even the dogs who can not be adopted out are by any means not dangerous. Meryl, had been one of the dogs found who was deemed dangerous by the state, meaning she could not be adopted out to a home. Nonetheless, when walking into her kennel, dangerous is the last word you would use to describe her. One of her trainers remarks, "She really doesn't mind new people…. She's very happy and loving. I feel totally comfortable with her. I can grab and kiss her." As she embraces Meryl, "I am building a relationship, ...She needed to see that when
