animal abandonment
My core composition is about creating awareness for animal abandonment. I got this idea, through an article I read in the Sydney Morning Herald The title of the article was “Abandoned: Man’s best friend”. What I wanted to express through the radio advertisement was, how modern day society would coin the phrase, “a dog is a man’s best friend,” yet have the heart to abandon their “best friend.” I placed emphasis on concentrating the conscience of the listener, by basing the storyline on two different cases yet parallel to one another.
It started off with an anecdotal beginning. The narrator enters the scene, describing with similes and metaphor presented in an “active voice” the classic atmosphere of a family picnic. The simple and yet warm atmosphere described appeals to the persuasive side of our “tradition and custom.” With the familiarity of the scenery, the story changes focus abruptly to the family ending a great weekend picnic and heading home. An anti-climax has appeared for the listeners at this point in time. There is a stark contrast in the father’s demeanor, and through the use of repetition, the listeners also receive the stark change in the tone of the father’s voice, followed by the ominous music in the background. The once bright and warm atmosphere has disappeared and now the echoing of the ominous music, followed by the strange and sharp response by the father, creates a curious environment for the listener.
I made my motif centered on the idea of one would not abandon their own “human” family on the side of the road, so why are we abandoning those that we call “family.” Through the voice of the narrator, we used “inclusive languages,” to take the listener on a terrible journey of abandonment. The target audience for this issue is everyone over the age of 6 years old because people over 6 years are old enough to grasp an understanding that animal abuse is wrong. The major Also everyone should learn to know that it is wrong to treat animals bad

    As humans, we have been naturally inclined to eat meat since the start of our existence. But many people believe that using an animal for our own personal gain is very unethical. One such group, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), published “Animals Used for Food” in 2016 on their organizational website, they argue that animals are compassionate just like we are and that people need to be their heroes. PETA’s audience incorporates everyday people in a global aspect. This article combines the rhetorical appeals of ethos, logos and pathos. The author of this article mostly uses the emotional appeal of pathos to help persuade people to help them in their efforts to save the animals.…

    Images can have a powerful effect on the way a person perceives a story. It can be the line that connects two dots together and adds a visual emotion to just a plain text. Matt Ottley’s multimodal text, Requiem for a Beast, uses illustrations, music, text and changes in point of view to highlight the major themes that develop throughout the text. Themes such as reconciliation and the Stolen Generation are explored and the hardships that the Aboriginal people endured are present as well. The Stolen Generation is interpreted as a time when Aboriginal children were forcibly removed from their homes and then taken under custody of the Australian Government.…

In the ´´Pet Abandon Weebly,´´ it says that the pound receives more than 20 dogs a week! This shows that animal shelters need a lot of help with all the abandoned animals and Faye is glad to help with this. I think Faye really loves animals and she feels their hurt, sadness, and loneliness. Many people are glad for her help.

This gives evidence that Faye is glad to help and many people are very thankful for her help. Faye also has some obstacles that she has to overcome.

    First of all, in the text Saying Farewell to a Faithful Pal by John Grogan it says “When I brought my wife home from the doctor after our first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage, that wild beast gently rested his blocky head in her lap and just whimpers.” This shows that animals will love, care for, and support you through tough times. Second of all, in the text Dogs Make Us Human by Temple Grandin and Catherine Johnson it says “Max who had trained himself to monitor his mistress's blood sugar levels even while she was asleep.” This quote shows us that dogs can not only love and comfort people but also help with medical needs. Third of all in the text My Story by Temple Grandin and Catherine Johnson it says “My New school solve that problem The school had a stable and horses for the kids to ride, and the teachers took away horseback riding privileges if I smacked somebody. I smacked somebody. After I lost privileges enough times I learned to just cry when somebody did something bad to me. I'd cry,and that would take away the aggression. I still cry when people are mean to me.” That shows us that people can resolve issues with animals without using violence. This is what these stories about animals told…

    I am the proud owner of a little brown dog named Bruno. I rescued him from the pound while I was in high school. The pound was unsure exactly what kind of dog Bruno was, but stated he is part Dachshund. I mentioned earlier, I rescued Bruno, but in reality he rescued me. My senior year of high school was not the greatest time for me, but owning Bruno got me through it. At the time, I just broke up with my high school “sweetheart” so to my immature young mind, I thought the world was coming to an end and I would never find someone else. Whether it was taking Bruno for walks, or trying to teach him new tricks he kept my mind occupied. I was given the responsibility to take care of him. I made sure he had all of his shots and there was fresh food and water for him. Until he was house broken, I was responsible to clean up after him. By being responsible for another being, it keeps a person centered not always thinking about themselves and their needs.…

    Did you know that there are over 2.4 million healthy dogs and cats in shelters? Did you also know that one every thirteen seconds are euthanized ("Pet Overpopulation: The Humane Society of the United States")? These animals don’t ask to be brought into this world to be put in a small, cold enclosed cage. I personally wouldn’t want to be born into the world to be given up on, would you? Too many people don’t understand or even care to understand this sad statistic. In fact, humanity is so selfish in that aspect it makes me truly sick. Why do we have to have the cutest puppies or kittens? What’s wrong with an older dog, you don’t have to train them half the time. They need love too. My goal gave me the motivation to reach out to my local shelter that influenced me to explore programs in the future to help all dogs and cats.…

    Despite plenty of pleasant descriptions—White’s father comically rolling over in a canoe, the reverence for the silent lake in the early morning, the young waitresses, the walk to the farmhouse for dinner, the pleasures of boating and fishing, the taste of soda, the laughter of other campers clowning around in the rain—little hints of melancholy and uncertainty emerge as the essay develops, and lead toward the chill of death at the end.…

    It begins with the father toward the son, when he makes the fire. Then, the unspoken love is returned, when the adult son asks, "What did I know, what did I know...?" The tone of that repetition…cuts from indifference to guilt to admiration…"offices," a metaphor that expresses the endurance required of long-term love, of manual labor, and of the official fatherly role…when the father began each day in the cold darkness, to warm up the home for his still-dreaming child.
