Creative Writing Dog PSA

By Riley Taylor






Dogs. What makes them man's best friend. From the dawn of time dogs have almost instantly earned their place in our hearts as the companion to man. While some may argue that dogs aren't as valued in their hearts as cats, domesticated dogs are ultimately flawless. Take it from someone who has both as pets. And while I love my cat with all my heart, today the topic of discussion is dogs. Disregarding the pure breeding done by uneducated breeders, dogs can fit in almost any family. This is the only thing wrong with dogs in our world. The forceful breeding of dogs who are most likely related in order to create a purebread
There is currently a large amount of bias towards certain breeds of dog. One of these more prominant stereotypes is pitbulls. Pitbulls are percieved as the most aggressive and ill mannered dogs in the world. The pit bull apologia would have you believe that they are fighting bred dogs. However, this is not the case. In the 19th and 20th century, pitbulls were known as the Nanny dogs. This name was given because of the amount of love and effection these creatures showed others. It was people who made these dogs into what they are now known for. The point of this story is that dogs are beautiful animals on their own, and that loyalty and friendliness is what made them so compatable with the likes of man. People are the what make these animals into the menaces you see on television or read about in books. Dogs are not born aggressive or born monsters. They are made into them. Think about that next time you see a pitbull or a german shepherd and feel fear.

    Interesting thought that they are not born aggressive. I've never had a dog, but would probably have liked one.

Ancient Greek Heroes VS. Modern Day Heroes

-
Image
Heroes in Greek/Anglo-Saxon (I am grouping the types of historical literature we have read) writing are very obvious and much of ancient Greek literature involves a central hero or a supernatural story. In modern day English, however, the plots are less often mythical and more realistic. Since each person has a different definition for heroism, modern day heroism literature can be more varied. Ancient Greek writing is very often far-fetched, however. There are many similarities and differences between the two types of writing, but first I will run through the most significant differences. In Greek mythology, heroes were often religious figures, like demigods, while modern day writing focuses more on ordinary people. This could be because authors nowadays want the readers to be able to relate with the heroes in their stories. Greek writing had heroes that had the power to protect or destroy the people depending on prevailing circumstances. In contrast, modern day heroes are acknowledg...

My Brother by Elizabeth Hailey DeGasperis

          When I contemplate what is most important in my life, my mind is drawn to my 21-year-old brother, Tom. There are not enough words in the English language I could use to describe what he means to me. I cannot imagine the past fifteen years of my life without him. Allow me to start from the beginning.           Even when I was an infant, he never failed to take me out of my crib, strap me in my high chair, and cook scrambled eggs for us (at the tender age of six). He did this so my mother could catch up on sleep in the mornings and take care of me however he could. I only wish I could return the favour in some way. Though we have always been tight, we used to fight frequently as all siblings do. As immature children, we viewed every ordeal as monumental. The apocalypse would occur if either of us decided to give the other access to the TV remote or the pogo sticks for five minutes. However, we would always make-up in the end and...

Not Fate, Just a Coincidence - Sila Paniker

The idea of fate confuses me. I don't really understand how something will happen no matter what you do. It just seems very unlikely. I think we're constantly making choices that lead to occurrences. We make so many decisions a day that it seems impossible that fate can find a way around it all.  Awhile ago, I saw something called the Butterfly Effect, which doesn't exactly relate to fate but it makes sense to me. The idea is that a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a tornado on the other side of the world. Essentially, small changes can have large impacts. In my head, this connects with the thousands of tiny decisions we subconsciously make each day. There are people I've met or things that have happened and it feels like it was meant to be but they're just a bunch of coincidences that had the ability to change everything. Thinking about it, there are reasons that can explain everything. For example, I met one of my closest friends a few years ago a...
