Relate To Giraffes
5) I can relate to the giraffe because the giraffe thought she was helping the elephant by giving him advices on losing weight but she did it a close minded way. The reason why I can relate to this because I give out unsolicited advice that some people might consider to be criticism. I can relate to the elephant when the elephant said “But to tell you the truth, I’m not sure that a house designed for a Giraffe will ever really work for an Elephant unless there are some major changes.” Because I think it explain how you should never judge someone for who they are and you should look at the elements of their culture and to be aware of cultural Identity. Yes I think the giraffe and the elephant can work constructively together if they choosing

    Sara Gruen's Water For Elephants

    I decided to take a chance on Sara Gruen’s novel Water for Elephants, after reading the rave reviews of the book posted on several social media sites by friends and acquaintances. The truth is, it is summer and I am desperate for a distraction away from my recent obsession with Grey’s Anatomy reruns fueled by Netflix’s instant queue. So I purchased the book and slowly began retreating from my computer screen that stole 42 minutes of my day as I sat captivated by Dr. Owen Hunt’s passionate kissing. Moreover, my favorite animals are elephants, so from the title I was intrigued.…

    Charles Siebert's The Elephant Crackup

    The words “family” and “families” are used for a total of 12 instances, while “herd” and “herds” total 15 instances. The constant, near interchangeable use of “family” and “herd” to refer to elephants and their pack is a deliberate linguistic choice that Siebert makes to psychologically prime a reader to associate the humane feelings they subconsciously attach to the word “family” with the term “herd” that is used for a pack of elephants. This is the use of pathos. Consequently, the linguistic choices help Siebert to establish a link between the reader and the subject of the article, the elephants.…

    Frans De Waals 'Article Morals Without God'

    For example, he has observed how with female chimpanzees, they can be seen dragging males together to reconcile after fighting with each other. Along with females bringing males together, the elders in the chimpanzee groups can be seen as neutral mediators for disputes within their community (De Waal). This example of reconciliation and the way chimpanzees deal with it, show fundamental moral behaviors that can exemplify emotions that humans too exhibit between each other. In addition, the articles goes into concepts of empathy. De Waal uses a powerful example of an older chimpanzee named Peony that has arthritis, sometimes making it difficult to climb and walk.…

    Three Surprises About Change Analysis

    The Elephant is the emotional side and Rider is the cognitive side, and in most circumstances, during a disagreement, the Elephant tends to overpower the Rider. One example is skipping the gym. In otherwise the Elephant is responsible when somebody fails to change because emotions suppress the ability to intelligently reason. No doubt, the Elephant is capable of immense strengths such as someone getting things done while on the other hand, the Rider ruminates in situations like decision-making. Thus, changing behavior, with ease requires appealing to both the Elephant for energy and Rider for a sense of…

    The Giraffe Analysis

    In all honesty “The Giraffe” illustrates various human characteristics of the giraffe; however the humans in the story are not really welcoming although the giraffe shares similar characteristics. The townspeople dislike the giraffe which evidently depicts their self-obsessed behaviour. The author is able to successfully illustrate the self-obsessed behaviour of humans by using a giraffe, a harmless animal that would never hurt anyone. Thus, Senesi was successful as the giraffe is an innocent character compared to the humans because…

    The Physiological Evolution of the Camel

    The camel is an excellent example of how animals can physiologically adapt to their environment. Camels are generally found in African and Asian countries, where the climate is often hot and dry. In order to survive, the camel has adapted beautifully to its surrounding environment. The large hump(s) on located on the camel’s back, contrary to popular belief, is actually a large storage of fat. When on long journeys across the desert or when food is scarce, the camel can feed off the nutrients stored in the fat. Camels can go days without food or water, and safely lose up to 40% of its body weight. This is due in part to the camel’s plasma fluid being maintained (at the expense of tissue fluid) so that its circulation is not impaired. The camel’s body absorbs water very slowly from the stomach and intestines, allowing time for equilibration. Their erythrocytes can also swell to 240% of its normal size without bursting, lending to the animal’s ability to hold dubious amounts of water. In a further effort to aid the animal survive the arid climate, the kidneys have also evolved. To help reduce water loss, the kidneys can produce urine so concentrated it contains twice the salt content of sea water and thick as syrup. Camels can also use their excrement to hydrate if absolutely necessary – it has developed the ability to extract water from their fecal…

    Primate Behavior

    The animal that most resembles us is the ape. At the zoo, it is easy to observe behavioral and facial expressions in monkeys and apes that are very much similar to our own. A group of apes could very well seem like a family. A mother taking care of her young may seem familiar to the human onlooker. This is because the ape is our closest living relative. In the documentary Primate Behavior, anthropologists observe the behavior of monkeys and primates. The primates are mostly observed in the wild, as they are better understood while placed in a natural setting. This is where the social structure of the primate can really be interpreted.…

    Hills Like White Elephants Research Paper

    It could be the drinking. Alcohol can mess with your better judgment. It makes people say what they are really thinking. Like when the American says “It’s really an awfully simple operation, Jig,” (pg.811). He is just saying what is on his mind. His drunk mind that is. We are talking about an unborn baby that he created. There is nothing simple about an abortion operation. They are both drinking and making life decisions which don’t go good together. You are supposed to make the decisions first then after making the right one you have a good time and drink. What does the elephant resemble? We know what an elephant is but I have never seen a white one. An Albino elephant. The white elephant is the unborn baby that she doesn’t know what she wants to do with. I think a white elephant would be kind of cool but for the story makes it seem like no one wants it. So no one wants the baby. That’s why the girlfriend changes her mind a little about the elephant because she is changing her mind about not having the abortion. It’s as if…

    giraffe

    Mauro Senesi constructs “The Giraffe” to symbolize and represent a new idea that is being introduced into a closed environment. “It must have seen over the houses the clotted red of the roofs and the horizon, who knows how far” (p. 233). When the giraffe extends its neck to see the town, it not only can observe what other people cannot, but also have a perspective of the unknown. The giraffe perceives the surrounding different than what villagers are accustom because it once lived a different life and have awareness of what is unexpected to the town. It knows certain knowledge that is new and different which results in amazement and wonder at first. However, throughout the story, people have no desire to change their current status quo and start to push away the giraffe out of their life. “But there must have been other reasons too for the hatred of the people: like the defense of an equilibrium, of a reality that we wanted to subvert with our giraffe” (p. 235). As the new idea comes forth, changes must happen in order to fully accept and embrace it. But in the story, Senesi purposely put a bizarre concept right in the middle of an unreceptive group that develops denunciation towards it. In contrast, only the “boys” can accept the change and are willing to sacrifice their everyday life to support it. But they are merely children who do not have authority or status to sustain it. Consequently, the giraffe fades away along with its new perspective, “Our giraffe has died by itself, boys … because there is room only for the things that are already here” (p. 236). New ideas, just like nature, will fade away and die out if not being nurtured or developed. The giraffe has already matured and taken shape, but being shunned and spurned, it will meet its ultimate doom at the end. The giraffe’s fate strongly suggests the author’s pessimistic view of introducing a fresh concept into a tight-knit society. Senesi opens our minds to a lesson that can be seen in history…

    Essay On Primates

    The order of Primates is comprised of an estimated 230-270 species, however, new species are being discovered every year and some scientists classify them using sub-specie groups, which makes it difficult to count an exact number of primate species in existence today. Most primates are found in tropical or subtropical regions of the world, but have never existed in Australia or most of the islands of the Pacific. Most primates are arboreal, meaning that they live in trees. Humans and gorillas are two species that are primarily terrestrial. Most primates are also diurnal, meaning they are active throughout hours of daylight and then sleep at night. They are also omnivorous and generalists, meaning that they will eat almost anything.
