I think Darnell made a good decision to not buy his own dog, because the impact his mother made on him to take on more responsibilities taught him what he wouldn't have known before he began to walk Mr. Jones's dog. While walking Mr. Jones's dog, Darnell was able to experience taking care of a dog of his own by helping out Mr. Jones. Through his mother's denial to get him a dog, Darnell opened his eyes to persuade his mom to get him a dog by following through on his mom's wishes. Both Darnell and Mr. Jones benefited from Darnell walking Mr. Jones's dog in different ways. Mr. Jones was reaching the age where he was unable to be as active as the dog like taking the dog on the walk was hard for him. Darnell was able to experience what it would
Love can often cause people to adjust their lifestyle to another person’s. How to Touch a Bleeding Dog shows how a guy who once had a wife that he loved took care of one of her most precious possessions. It’s safe to say the average human being doesn’t have to have mutual friendship (a human) with the dog in order to like him/her. In this case however the main character from this short story says that the dog is not his, but is his responsibility. This responsibility seemed to fall to him due to the passing of his wife. One could even say he seems disconnected from the world from the relationship that is seen between him and his dog.
Facing challenges with patience is a trait that numerous caring people have, and the Grogans and my mother have this in common. Described by John as the “the world’s worst dog,” Marley had caused
The impact the author has with his spare use of quotations on the reader and narrative are strong because it is pretty much a descriptive essay with a couple of dialogues and it connects the reader to the family on the appearance of the dog and how the family feels about the dog. The snippets of conversation reveal how caring the author’s mother is and shows that the narrator’s mother is a compassionate person. For example, for line 13 when she was talking about Pretty Girl she says, “I prayed for her,” “Some people say you ain’t supposed to pray for a dog but …” This pretty much states that even though she was not supposed to pray for the dog, she still did. That shows how caring she is for
Eventually she relented and told Henry that, with conditions, he could earn a dog. But the conditions imposed were numerous and severe, and in reality, Henry would be incapable of fulfilling them, therefore not getting the dog would be his own fault. Henry is set up for failure by his mother, and he states: "the fact that she thought such a plan might work illustrates that some people should never be parents and that she was one of them."

“ ‘Poor creature. poor ceature,’ said the mother and turned away to get him some food,” reveals that the mother felt bad for Sounder. (Sounder by William Armstrong) She looked at Sounder as he was hurt and skinny, no matter if they got along or not mother would get him some food.

The Mexican-American War or The United States Invasion as the Mexicans call it, helped add to the dream of Manifest Destiny which was the idea of the United States gaining all land on the American continent.
Lastly, Pedersen’s article does not hold enough personal testimony as evidence to help the reader believe her argument. Personal testimony is important in an argumentative piece to help the writer seem reasonable and understanding of the topic they are discussing. The author, April Pedersen tries to create personal testimony by stating, “It's fine to enjoy a pet. I’ve had several myself, including a cat that lived eighteen year” (Metz 242). The writer is obviously trying to reach out to readers as reasonable at the end of the article to help develop a strong ending argument. However, this completely fails because the author claims she had a cat instead of having a dog. Personal testimony is also known as important by the writer in the scholarly
Again, in this excerpt Lennie shows how much he cares about his dream of owning a farm with rabbits with his friend George. To Lennie, this is the most important goal in his life; having his own pet rabbits that he can care for by himself. In a way, this goal is quite beneficial to society; Lennie often makes the mistake of petting animals too hard, killing them in the process. Provided that Lennie was on his on farm with rabbits rather than working on the ranch, he wouldn’t have accidentally killed his puppy; society would have been better off this way because Lennie wouldn’t have ended up killing Curley’s wife. This would also have benefitted George, since he wouldn’t have to kill Lennie out of mercy to save him from the lynching party.

First of all, Marley in spite of his loopy character had a loving heart. He always had been with people who need help. For instance, he shared Jenny’s grief when she lost her first baby during the pregnancy. During the next pregnancy, when Jenny had to remain in the bed for the whole month because of the early-arrival risk of the new baby, Marley again had been her companion making her boring days brighter. Finally, each time Marley easily accepted the Jenny and John’s new babies when they arrived from the hospital. As they grew, Marley became their best friend. It seemed like the dog understood that they were little humans whom he had to protect.

The second reason is the narrator knows he should have appreciated his brother more. Although Doodle did his best to make his brother proud, it was never good enough for the narrator. The narrator wanted to force him to be like a normal, healthy person. Once Doodle learns how to walk, the narrator is too swollen with pride and wants to teach Doodle to run, swim, and many other complicated tasks. The narrator should have valued Doodle more. It was already extraordinary that Doodle even got to walk. That should have been good enough for him. Unfortunately, the narrator kept on pushing him and pushing him.
Dave and Mike’s dad is trying to teach his twin boys moral principles, and see things from other people’s perspective by acting with honesty, kindness and fairness. The father was asking the boys to think of their dog first and help him get exercise. Teaching children about their own moral identity sound happen in very early childhood. When the father asked the twin boys to take their dog Jake out and play ball teaches them some responsibility and a sense of doing something that benefitted someone else. Making them take care of the dog now will only make them willingly later in life to do it without asking. Teaching them at a younger age will want them to help people when they are older and able to do more, and not focus on themselves all the
