My artifact is brown and black with almost 2 decades’ worth of memories; this object is my stuffed Rottweiler named Max. This artifact, although motionless with four legs, has walked to the moon and back with me as a child full of imagination. This artifact stores the most precious memories and has been with me at every step in my life. Max is very meaningful to me because we have shared many memories, from birth until now. My stuffed animal has been with me through every ups and downs in life, every change that has ever occurred to me, has been a part my past and present; and represents my future. In every stage of my childhood, Max was there for me; from the moments after my birth until now. My father gave me my first stuffed animal as a gift when I was a very small infant. Since my father grew up owning Rottweilers, it was very fitting of him to buy me a stuffed Rottweiler as my first gift. I have a very vague memory of naming Max; I remember my mom and dad having a mini discussion on what he should be named. My mother wanted a female name, while my father wanted a male name. Coincidentally, our neighbor’s dog was named Max and since I liked that name because it was easy to pronounce, my stuffed animal was officially named Max, or “Maa”, as what I used to call him. A few years later, my dad bought another stuffed animal, also a Rottweiler, and we decided to give it a name. I clearly remember my dad saying “We need to give it a manly name” jokingly. But since I was
On the morning of January 17, 1993, before the annual buying trip to Germany for the 1993 Christmas season, the toy buyer for the chain of Hightower Department Stores named Julia Brown was reviewing the performance of some models of stuffed animals tested for sales during 1992. Every time Julia’s on the trip, she would buy some stuffed animals for testing. Fifty was the minimum amount the manufacturers require. Based on Julia’s years of buying experience, the tested result would give Julia a clear estimation about how many new stuffed animals she needed to order. Figure 1 in below shows the timeline of how Julia buys the toys for the company:
Choosing an artifact for the box was an easy decision. I chose to put a picture of my dog, Chocolate, because he is very important to me. He is a two year old Schnoodle (half Schnauzer half Poodle) who we rescued from the animal shelter. It will be exciting to look back at what he looked like as a puppy. The artifact portrays me well since I love my dog and he is a big part of my life. It shares

Recently I read the Velveteen Rabbit and I learned that love is joyful and painful at the same time. When the rabbit was in the agonizing yet delightful process of becoming real. I have a stuffed animal dog who is real to me like the Velveteen rabbit was to the boy. I adore him mostly because of his color, texture, and scent.
Today, I’m writing about growing up. I recently moved in to my grandparents’ house. I spent summer vacation here, every year, so a lot of my old toys are here. Just a few weeks ago, my grandmother wanted me to go through two boxes of stuffed animals. She was originally just going to put them all in storage, but most of my things were in boxes and she thought it might help me cope with the move to keep some with me.
With considerations for the age of the child, the nurse may wish to use role play using a doll or stuffed animal to ask questions. Through use of an inanimate object in a child the age of 3, fosters trust and allows for the child to answer questions and show areas of pain. Specific questions should be stated at an age appropriate level, with common words that the child understands (Story, 2015).
Toy Story is the groundbreaking 1995 motion picture developed by Disney and Pixar and directed by John Lasseter. The film was so revolutionary not only because it was the first feature length animation to be created completely by CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) but also, also the film was more rounded in all respects. The characters not only looked more sophisticated and three-dimensional but their personalities were also more human and fewer cartoons like. The film uses a constructed text in order to put across a theme of two very different characters learning to work together beyond their rivalries to rise above a common enemy and work towards a common goal. The film uses characters and imagery very cleverly to
I was sitting in our kitchen, about to eat, when my aunt went it. I ran over to her, happy to see her, and in her hands was a small, black and brown chihuahua. My aunt told me he weighed one pound. Of course, I immediately held him. I couldn’t resist. He was such a cutie! With pointy ears, big black eyes, and a small nose, he was the center of attention at our house. The puppy didn’t have a name yet, so we tossed around a few names. None of them were a good name for the pup.
Everyone must have had a pet before, even if it was as small as a fish or as big as an elephant. We’ve all had that one pet, that we will forever remember. The loving relationship between a dog and a person is so unexplainable but very special in its own way. I’ve had a dog when I was born and it would always be there from my first time to talk to being with me my sophomore year. I had a Chinese Shar-Pei, whose name was Kane. He was the most precious pet to me and not one other pet can replace his 1,000 rolls or the two different colored eyes. Everyone thought he was ugly but he’s beautiful to me. The relationship we had was unique. In this relationship it contained us both knowing what we thought and getting in trouble together. The loving
Animal imagery in Henrick Ibsen's play, A Doll's House is a critical part of the character development of Nora, the protagonist.
As a little girl, I loved my stuffed animals and could not go a day without them. There is one that I still have sitting on my bed today, he is a hippopotamus named Hank. For my capstone, I wanted to do something that had to do with my pal. Lots of children grow up having that one special toy that meant everything to them. I wanted to choose something that someone could easily relate to.
It takes up about two inches on my thick, and short middle finger. It is relatively small, yet has been proven to have great importance and meaning. This dented, imperfect circle fits loosely, and comfortably which allows for the constant usage and handling. It has a unique, and undefined shape that compliments the small circles within the accessory. There is a band of a perfect line of small circles that runs infinite in the exact middle of the accessory. The thirteen small circles sit in the small seats of metal all in unison and order. Sharp, pointed tips that look like the top of a vintage castle, pull the pendants on the outsides of the line, up and back down. If you cut the jewel in half, the sides are
Majestic, noble, and brave, this famous iconic wild animal on the planet has captivated the people since the beginning of time. They are most feared by other animals thus, known as the king of the jungle – no other than the lions. Member of the genus Panthera, the lion is one of the big cats in the Felidae family. A lion’s head and body size average about 4.5 to 6.5 feet and tail of about 26 to 40 inches in length. A lion also weighs about 265 up to 420 pounds and a size relative to a 6-foot human. These mammals are also carnivores. Lions have always seen hunting in groups called pride. While lions generally avoid a full-grown elephant, lions still prefer their preys large like the zebras, buffaloes, and giraffes. Poised as the top animal in the ecological pyramid, lions have strong physical qualities, fascinating reputation, and an unfortunate decreasing number of population.
Sparky means lively and high-spirited, and my dog Sparky does certainly match that description. His electrifying personality makes almost everyone who meets him fall in love. Not to mention his adorable looks and the fact that he is an incredibly kind dog, but not exactly the brightest crayon in the box. His almost non-existent intelligence gives many interesting stories to tell about him. With him sleeping on the road, to him trying to fight a bear. My dog can be quite interesting and stupid at times.
After a long, stressful day at school with a lot of homework to do, I go lay on the couch and rest my eyes for a bit, but only to open my eyes to see the cutest dog in the world jump right next to me. I start to smile as my dog gets closer to my face, about to lick my face to smithereens.
