In the process of growing up as a child, Daniel admired his grandfather and specially all the effort and dedication he put into his jobs. His grandfather was always a man of determination, and used to work very late to bring food to his family, but always showing a big smile always inspire his grandsons. Daniel also describes his childhood as very usual of having friends, playing with his twin brother and exploring the world. The best memory of Daniel during his childhood was when he received his first dog. Even though it was just a little pet he got, he never taught he could get one of his own.

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.

The effect of combat on the human mind has been noticed often, but very seldom studied. Since World War II and the Vietnam War, America has seen how war veterans have been affected after combat—sometimes, it makes the news. 11% of America’s homeless population are veterans, and most suffer from mental illness as well as substance abuse issues, but often times, this is swept under the rug. Kurt Vonnegut, author of Slaughterhouse-Five, was a WWII veteran himself and understood how war changes people firsthand. In Slaughterhouse-Five, Billy Pilgrim is drafted for war during World War II and is sent to Germany. He survives the bombing of Dresden, just like Vonnegut did himself. Kurt Vonnegut creates veteran and civilian characters in Slaughterhouse-Five in order to express that humans are

“I got up and pretended to study the pictures on the walls like I was a lover of religious art. When I got to the Merciful Mother right above Sinita’s head, I reached in my pocket and pulled out the bottom I’d found on the train. It was sparkly like a diamond and had a little hole in back so you could thread a ribbon through it and wear it like a romantic lady’s choker necklace. It wasn’t something I’d do, but I could see the button would make a good trade with someone inclined in that direction.

Befor Riley lost his memory, the last thing he remembered was that he was at a party the night before he lost his memory. Riley was at a “welcome back home” party from all his friends and his family. They all threw him partly because he was returning back from Afghanistan and Iraq where he was serving for his country. The reason Riley chose to be in the military was because he didn’t know what to do after graduating from high school. Riley wanted to become a professional photographer or work within an industry where they work with electronics. But he never got an opportunity to chase his dreams. He never attended college. He said to himself that he didn’t need too, that his talent will get him into his dream job but he never did anything that

The ground felt like it was flying behind him and felt as if he had wings. He felt the roughness of the concrete on his paws and could taste the wind. He was almost there, but he didn’t see the boy sneaking up behind him. His hair was messy yet looked charming on his round face. He was slim and had on school uniform. As the boy reached for Tyson, Tyson quickly realized that someone was behind him. The fur rose up on his back and he tried to sound as ferocious as he could. The boy picked him up, ignoring his sounds, ran over to the edge of the bridge, and tried throwing him over. Tyson screamed, the darkness of the water was too scary for him to comprehend. The little boy tried peeling him off of his fingers. At last the boy finally got Tyson off of him, and he was sent tumbling down into the depths of the river. All he felt was darkness and the coldness of the river, rushing into his body. As the current swept him away, he felt the tug of something pulling him upwards. Since he did not know how to swim, he thought for sure it wasn’t him doing the swimming, but something else. When he resurfaced, he realized it was a dog! He never knew dogs could behave this way. The dog had one brown and one blue eye with black fur. It also had little white freckles on its muzzle. Its fur was pasted against its skin due to the water, and it looked very, very skinny. The last thing Tyson needed was being eaten by a dog. He didn’t think his life meant to be that short, when he had already lived for awhile on his own. His mother died when he was little, along with all of his siblings. He never saw his father, and wondered if that was how he got his blue eyes. Blue eyes and brown fur was very uncommon and his mother told him that every day. He never forgot about that, and he never will forget about his precious memories of his family. Right there, clamped in the jaws of a giant dog, his
