Blubber Research Paper
Once there was a walrus named Blubber, who was tired of sitting on the ice and being lazy. He wasn't very industrious and couldn't trek very far, but he had an ambition to become president of the U.S.. The other walruses thought he was a sham, but their doubtfulness abated when he shared his ideas.

His popularity spread like an epidemic. In his campaign he promised to replace the water supply with soda and cut the school day to precisely one hour. He would also give everyone the authority to declare a holiday whenever they chose. His promises grabbed the attention of even the most impartial voters. Blubber's agent estimated that he would get 100% of the votes. Even walruses in Siberia acknowledged his aspirations.

Blubbers opponent, Donald Trumpet, was infuriated by Blubber's popularity. Trumpet was the most annoying and obnoxious elephant. His campaign promised to evict all of the walruses from Alaska and build a wall to keep them from coming back. Blubber thought Donald Trumpet's threat to his campaign was irrelevant, until election day arrived.

Every elephant voted and one uninformed narwhal voted for Donald Trumpet, giving him 51% of the votes. That meant that elephants everywhere would be getting artificial tanning and implanted hair. After Blubbers devastating loss, he spent his days stressing eating in front of the

As Plunkitt states, “What I did was to get some marketable goods before going to the leaders.” He approached his cousin who had no interest in politics and told him that he was going to be a politician and wanted to get a following, he asked his cousin if he would and his cousin agree. Then he approached the district leader and told him that he had two votes, his cousins and his own. The district leader told him to go ahead.

    When people first began campaigning, they used more diverse methods. Candidates would not make public speeches, because they did not have sufficient transportation to travel around. Even then, it was looked at as being rude and boastful to ride into a town trying to look superior. Instead of speeches, they would write letters back and forth. This prevented citizens from hearing each candidate’s personal opinions for running as president. The Hard Cider and Log Cabin campaign in 1840 between Harrison and Tyler held much different qualities that are seen more in today’s society. This election was known as the dirtiest campaign ever. There were plenty of slogans, songs, and even alcohol. The cover of the Hard Cider and Log Cabin Almanac depicts Tyler and Harrison providing alcohol to a group of people (Doc. I). Van Buren is in the background trying to corrupt the supply of drinks. Democrats supporting Martin Van Buren mocked Harrison saying how he would sit on the porch all day and drink hard cider. Various slogans were continuously made to downgrade the other running mates.…

    Another concern I have with this story is despite the fact that the “natives” hate him and just want to see him suffer; he still tries his best to gain their acceptance. Even when he doesn’t want to kill the elephant because he is afraid and has never kill anything this large before, he manages his fear and deliver the final blow to the beast anyway. The final question is: “What drives him to go this far for these people?…

    Orwell decided to shoot the elephant to hold up the white imperialist’s high heroic image. Aiming at his perceived location of the elephant's brain, he fired a shot which brought the elephant to its knees. After another shot, the elephant gained its footing only to be brought down with a third round. The elephant being still alive, Orwell fired two more heavy rounds and then a clip of regular rifle rounds into the beast - to no avail. Unable to stand the elephant's agony any longer, he left the scene, only to learn later that it took the elephant a further half an hour more to die, during which time the…

You may ask, ‘How should we decide?’ Well I’m sure you have all heard about what happened on Animal Farm.” Gossip and rumour started to infect the animals. “That’s why I believe we should vote for our leader. And I have decided to enter the race. The race will last one week, and the animal who receives the majority of the vote will become ruler. Will anyone else challenge me?” Every animal took a step back, doubting their ability to compare with Kanye’s intellect, except for one. The one exception was Oprah, a snow-white Persian cat with glowing green eyes. Although she didn’t have even close to the intellect of Kanye, she was notorious for her extremely charismatic, strong-willed, and omnibenevolent personality. “Ah, Oprah. Nice of you to join me.

    Up until shooting the elephant, the narrator was against shooting it because it was docile and harmless if left alone. But from the pressure of the crowd, which were in the thousands that followed him, gave conflict to his prior judgment. “But I did not want to shoot the elephant. It seemed to me that it would be murder to shoot him. . . . Besides, there was the beast’s owner to be considered. . . . But I had got to act quickly. I turned to some experienced-looking Burmans who had been there when we arrived, and asked them how the elephant had been behaving. They all said the same thing: he took no notice of you if you left him alone, but he might charge if you went too close to him.” (232)…
