Whoso List to Hunt Analysis

It is extremely crucial to have the ability to feel satisfied with very little in life. The poem An Ox Looks at Man, by Carlos Drummond de Andrade, is about an ox judging humans for forgetting a crucial element in life. The poem’s language suggests that while the ox is able to remain content with life, humans can never feel satisfied as shown by the ox’s description of human’s physical characteristics and emotional behaviors.

Renowned American film producer Cecil B. DeMille once said, “What I have crossed out I didn't like. What I haven't crossed out I'm dissatisfied with.” (“Cecil B. DeMille Quotes.” brainyquote.com. Brainy Quote, n.d. Web. 05 Oct.2012.) This persistent feeling of dissatisfaction is suggested in Christopher Taggi’s “95,” in which the protagonist is discontent with his current life condition and keeps driving on the highway to look for better opportunities. In fact, the author points out that in contemporary society people are dissatisfied because of their insatiable desire for wanting more. This sad reality is illustrated by the protagonist’s

Thesis Statement: We should appreciate what we have before we lose it because the grass is not always greener on the other side.

In the “Gilded Six-Bits,” the husband expressed to his wife that he was envious of the “wealthy” new comer in the town. He longed to have the popularity, money, and even his protruding belly. He was enthralled by any detail related to this man’s life. “Everyday Use” has a character, Maggie, which is jealous of her sister because she is beautiful and has the world basically handed to her because of her beauty. Often people will look into others’ lives not knowing the other person’s situation, only knowing what they see and they think that the person has the perfect life. Often that is not the case and sometimes the person’s life whom you are longing for may be secretly longing for your life because theirs isn’t as great as it seems to the people looking in.

The things we want are often very difficult to get and achieve. For example, Jonas wants things to be like they used to before his leaders have taken away everything that makes his world different and fascinating. In the story The Giver by Lois Lowry, Jonas is living in a world where everyone and everything is the same. After the Chief Elder assigns jobs, Jonas has been assigned as the Receiver

The Hunting Ground was a very emotional video that highlights a very important issue in our country that most people are not aware of. When it comes to sexual violence, college campuses are more focused on protecting the attacker rather than the victim. What shocked me the most in this film was that most of the faculty members the victims went to seek help from were females, yet the victims were still blamed for their rape. One administrator from UNC at Chapel Hill told a victim “rape is like a football game” meaning that if you look back to that day, what would you have done differently to prevent the rape. Victims who report rapes to university faculties are often questioned about the clothes they wore that day, how much alcohol they had to drink if they said no to the perpetrator, how many times did they said no, etc. Ryan Clifford, a male victim at the University of California, Davis rather than being helped, he was suggested by a faculty member to drop out of school until the situation “blows over.”

D: In the world of British literature, the wilderness is considered as “the unknown”. By being on the outskirts of civilization, it’s a place that is mystical, mysterious, and terrifying all at once, which is why humans don’t intentionally go near it because they don’t know what lurks within its borders. In the case of Sir Thomas Wyatt’s Whoso List to Hunt, the wilderness serves as the perfect place for both his pursuits of hunting and “hunting”. By being a secluded place, it allows Wyatt to do his hunt for the hind he seeks. It’s also mystical because it’s the only place where he can find this hind and continuously chase it to no end. The terrifying concept is that anything no one know what the wilderness will reveal once someone enters into

However, those people with the means are reluctant to sacrifice an excessive amount that they would descend in status (Mill 89). Those who are of lower faculties #, and thus have less enjoyment, are more easily satisfied (Mill 90). Compared to their inferiors, people of higher classes continue to seek happiness and are never truly satisfied. Mill links this continuous search with dignity (Mill 90). Due to the sense of dignity, “someone will not feel envious of those who bear imperfections because he does not understand the benefits of those limitations” # (Mill 91). In explaining this concept, Mill compares a human being dissatisfied to a pig satisfied and Socrates dissatisfied to a fool satisfied. The pig and fool reason that they are well-off, but the human being and Socrates know they are superior because they are further educated (Mill 91).
