Raccoons: A Short Story

The protagonist is excited about the hunting trip, but initiates the event with a sense of innocence and curiosity. Another factor in Andy's willingness to go hunting may be in order to please her father or show that she is capable of doing everything a boy can do. While the hunters spend multiple days searching for game, Andy is the only one who comes in contact with the deer. While the characters hunt in the location where Andy saw the deer, Andy prays that they finally get a deer. On a second occurrence, she comes in contact with a deer. This time, the deer does not run away and stays stationary, grazing in the open. When the hunters finally spot the deer, Andy is asked if she wants to shoot it. Initially, she is frightened by the idea, but collapses under the weight of the peer pressure exerted by the impatience of Charlie and the expectancy of her Father. She finally holds the gun in her hand and aims the gun at the doe's chest area. While her mind began to blank out, she stopped thinking about the fact that she had never shot a living creature before and pulled the trigger. After the shot had been made, the doe eventually fell to the snow covered ground, and was assumed dead. Upon seeing the doe laying on the ground, the hunters walked steadily towards it, congratulating Andy for her clean shot. While

Accusations immediately stopped. The jails were cleared, and proper funerals were given to the 25 innocent victims. The large gray bird, content with how things turned out, was at peace. There was no doubt that for quite a while, the residents of the woods were depressed. But eventually, the forest worked its way back up to being as serene, beautiful, and close to Heaven as a bunch of trees could possibly

Intrinsically, I am a person authorized for the financial department, will definitely allocate the budget of $1 million U.S. dollars to various form of investments. One of investments that I will definitely choose is an investment with higher revenue generated in the current year. Based on the stock analysis, the highest revenue generated is conquered by JPMorgan Chase, followed by Wells Fargo & Co. and Citi Group Inc. However, higher revenue does not guarantee a profitable investment. There are other factors that we need to consider when we focus on increasing a firm’s value such as price per earning, the total return as well as the type of the firm’s industry.

It is a breezy Monday afternoon in early October. As I read Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls as an assignment for Ms. Hindman’s class, I slowly look up from the book to check my surroundings. I look to the north, east, and west and see no activity. As I turn my head at a snail-like speed to look south I notice movement. This is it, the reason I go hunting. No, not killing just to kill; I hunt for many reasons but that is definitely not one of them. I gently kick my dad who is lying on the floor of the enclosed stand. He slowly wakes up and cautiously gets into his chair. We see two young deer in a shooting lane about 100 yards south, just at the edge of the woods. Within twenty minutes there are two more in the field. We watch them

When we got to the top floor, Jon told me to be quiet because he had thought he heard something. We turned our flashlights off, and stood very still. We didn’t know if we were about to be face to face with a cop, a hobo, or maybe even Big Foot. After we had stood there for about 30 seconds I thought I heard scratching. I turned the flashlight on, and there he was, the biggest raccoon I had ever seen. We had to get doors from the second floor and did not want to deal with the raccoon, so Jon began chasing the raccoon with a screwdriver. At this point, I had no idea what to do so I just followed Jon and the raccoon with my flashlight. The raccoon ran down the stairs and out the door. After all the excitement, we decided to quickly get the doors loaded up and

Raccoons can be found in the United States, Canada and the northern regions of South America. The raccoon’s biome, their environment is on land.

The raccoon is a native mammal, measuring about 3 feet long, including its 12-inch, bushy, ringed tail. While most Raccoons weigh between 12 and 22 pounds, raccoons can grow as large as 60 pounds as has been reported in some areas such as Washington, Maine, and Minnesota. Additionally, their weights are dependent on their genetics, age, availability of food, and habitat location. Furthermore, because their hind legs are longer than the front legs, raccoons tend to have hunched appearance when they walk or run.

“He had the gun in both hands. He pressed it hard behind the horse’s ear and swore at the horse ‘God damn it, damn it, damn it, - stop.’ His knees were wet and he drew himself into a ball and pushed with all his strength. He began to squeeze the trigger and he squeezed it again and again and again- so many times then when Sergeant-Major pulled him away the gun went right on clicking in his hands” (63).

Matt knew there were bullets in the gun, but he didn't know the right way to unload the

Vincent Willem van Gogh was born on 30 March 1853 in Zundert, a village in the south of the Netherlands. His father was the protestant minister of the place, but three of his father's brothers were art dealers, and so it is only natural that Vincent became an apprentice at the shop of his uncle Vincent van Gogh in The Hague. His uncle had become a partner in the firm of Goupil & Cie, and after having worked in The Hague for four years Vincent was sent to other branches of the Goupil firm, first in London, then in Paris.

It was about 13 degrees out and the sun had just started to peek over the mountains behind our house. It was a magnificent morning. It was one of those crisp, cold mornings with no wind and I could hear for miles and miles. I remember hearing my neighbor’s dog, Orvis, barking two miles away. I kept walking for about a quarter mile until I came upon a field that was always a hot spot for deer in the morning. It was an exciting feeling to be out in the woods with the deer, yet at the same time, a terrifying feeling. Was I going to fail yet another year of not bagging my buck? I was anxious as to what my family and friends would think of me. I needed to get a deer in the worst way.
