  • banning animals in the circus

    995 Words  | 2 Pages

    As a kid I always dreamed about running away to the circus-not because I wanted to perform or even that I wanted to get away-I just wanted to play with the animals. I wanted to pet the lions, feed the elephants and ride the horses. So when the circus came to town once a year I was in total bliss. I remember asking my mom almost every hour if we could drive by the set up so I could check the progress of the majestic tent. But the circus was different for me in 5th grade. Although my day started with the typical excitement, it ended when we parked the car. I saw flyers being passed out to people and being placed on the windshields of near cars. I grabbed one that dropped on the ground. I was shocked: lions in small cages, horses with bloody hoofs, elephants being beat with electric prods. And there it was, stamped on the elephant’s headdress “The Greatest Show on Earth”.

  • Three Ringed Circus: Understanding Checks and Balances

    1239 Words  | 3 Pages

    Writing on this topic, the old Schoolhouse Rock song “Three Ringed Circus” comes to mind. In the song, a young boy describes the system of government, like the title suggests, as a three ringed circus. Each ring connects to each other, with a bit of their own ring in that of the others. The rings are separate and whole, with a bit of control over what happens in the other rings. This metaphor accurately describes the system of checks and balances in the American government, to keep one of the “rings” of the federal government from taking total control. Though the Supreme Court has the final say on the constitutionality on any legislature from Congress or the President, each of those branches has their own different forms of control over the

    1023 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the 1984 text Nights at the Circus, Angela Carter explores the theme of agency and empowerment through the subversion of traditional fairy tale and mythical elements. Carter places immense emphasis on the importance of the time period and the ‘liminal’ to explore how setting and time contribute to the central theme of agency and empowerment. Through the journey and character subversion of the protagonist Sophia Fevvers, Carter challenges the audiences perception on females of the time period, while the characterisation of her counterpart Jack Walser, is used to explore the common archetype, ‘The Journey of the Fool.’ Through anthropomorphism, Carter grants animals with gift of human intellect and emotions to create a point of contrast whilst

  • Circus Circus

    Each performer plays a huge role in the process of creating an enjoyable and entertaining show for the whole audience. Since there are many different shows each can cost a considerate amount, but when you have a limited amount of money you must make cuts in each show. Over the years many circuses have struggled to stay open because they are forced to make large budget cuts. “There’s an immediate budget cut. Karin said a ban would affect 19 traveling circuses with about 300 animals” (Brulliard). Circuses are not what they used to be, most children would rather watch animal videos online than watch them do tricks in person. On the other hand, many circuses lose business due to leaked videos of animals like elephants

  • Magical Realism In Elie Wiesel's The Night

    1121 Words  | 3 Pages

    Circuses are spectacles enjoyed by children and adults alike. The circus is remarkable in The Night Circus as it only opens during late hours of the night. Other details that make the circus so unique is its color scheme, black and white. Although the circus sounds very realistic a few key elements of magic hide through its tents. The circus serves as a venue as it is the grounds for a competition between two young real magicians, Marco and Celia. They each showcase their skills within the circus itself by creating spectacular tents and by performing as illusionists in order to hide their powers. Also, the circus itself has magic by having the ability to go anywhere it wants. It is sometimes described as the circus arriving without warning, no announcements precede it nor newspapers notice its arrival. The circus is simply there when yesterday it was not. Another magical thing about the circus is that the people in the venue do not age. The effect in the reader as having a circus part of the magical realism is very important as the setting is somewhat relatable. The idea of the accessibility of the circus showing up in someone’s backyard makes it seem realistic yet magical. The reader can infer it’s a normal circus with many impressive attractions complementing it, but deep down magic flows through the corners of it making the reader question what is real and what is

In a Cathy Day’s book, The Circus in the Winter, she has a compilation of stories from generations of the Great Porter Circus who were all centered in Lima, Indiana. Out of those people, Wallace Porter had a unique story that led him to “see the elephant” after undergoing some tragic events of death from his fellow Union Calvary men, his wife, Irene, and George, the elephant. Clyde Hollenbach offered to sell the circus, Hollenbach’s Menagerie, to Porter after Hollenbach could not afford to maintain the circus anymore due to financial hardships. Porter then knew that he had to buy the circus off of Hollenbach.
