Recommended: Positive effects of owning pets

I own thirty six books that are all apart of a children's book series. Thirty six books about cats that live in a forest and have a religion. And I have read every single one. Despite how embarrassing this can be especially as a highschool student, they have shaped me as a person. Items that a person owns can influence them in more ways than one. For example owning pets helps people socialize with others and can help them overcome issues. Books people read can fill their mind with ideas they would have never thought of otherwise. Items people own can and often influence how a person is. Over the course of the past eight years I have been the owner of a dog named Tazz. She is an old Boxer dog who has been with us through thick and thin. It

  • The Importance Of Owning A Person 's Character

    In order to decide whether the term "owning" helps develop your moral character, you must first figure out what owning something means to you. To me, "owning something" applies to not only the tangible, like a shirt, but also the intangible, like knowing something so well you own it, or even owning a behavior.

  • Ownership In The Wild Chris Mccandless

    Ownership is a claim living things make which expresses possession. It is a natural instinct to stake your claim, or in other words ‘mark your territory’, thus the action is highly visible in our lives. Ownership is commonly thought of in relation to possession of physical objects, but it can also relate to the possession of skills or ideas, a concept contemplated by philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre. The phenomenon of ownership has varying outcomes; in some cases possession brings forth unpleasant greed and malice. But at other times claiming objects or ideas increases personal pride, and increases ability, knowledge and camaraderie. Aristotle agrees with this, and theorizes that owning something positive boosts personal character. Contrastingly,

  • Text From Dog Analysis

    1523 Words  | 4 Pages

    One particular internet trend in the last few years, Texts From Dog, humorously captures the relationship between a human and their dog, as well as the imagined inner workings of the lovable furball’s mind. Much like the character Doug, in the Pixar film Up, the dog/dogs of Text From Dog is easily excited, if not a little feistier. The comical adventures chronicled in the Texts From Dog series range from every day delights, like being fed, to the woes of having to wear a cone or finding out that their owner is cheating on them and has been petting other dogs. While entirely fictional solely for entertainment purposes, Texts From Dog helps to illustrate that the bond between a pet and it’s owner is something special. For a pet owner, there are

  • College Admissions Essay: The Value Of Picture Books

    475 Words  | 1 Pages

    I began to read not out of entertainment but out of curiosity, for in each new book I discovered an element of real life. It is possible that I will learn more about society through literature than I ever will through personal experience. Having lived a safe, relatively sheltered life for only seventeen years, I don’t have much to offer in regards to worldly wisdom. Reading has opened doors to situations I will never encounter myself, giving me a better understanding of others and their situations. Through books, I’ve escaped from slavery, been tried for murder, and lived through the Cambodian genocide. I’ve been an immigrant, permanently disabled, and faced World War II death camps. Without books, I would be a significantly more close-minded person. My perception of the world has been more significantly impacted by the experiences I've gained through literature than those I've gained

  • American Pit Bull Terrier

    1784 Words  | 4 Pages

    The world seems to believe that the American Pit Bull Terrier is a vicious breed of dog, violent and ruthless by nature, and that they should be treated as such. However, what if this stereotype about the pit bull that modern society bases their opinions off of, is an improper representation of the breed? The pit bull faces much hatred and neglect in this day and age, but in their prime, the pit bull was considered to be the perfect dog. Although bred for physique and stature that was perfect in the dog-fighting world, the pit bull grew in popularity and became high demand as a man’s best friend. However, that reputation that once made the pit bull one of the most popular and iconic breeds of dog, seems to have been forgotten over the years, and replaced with the idea that they are ruthless attack dogs bred to kill. This stereotype and the specifics that go along with it have brought the name of the pit bull down to it’s knees, making the breed vulnerable to neglect, abuse, violence and many other awful acts that are deemed inhumane, but seem to go unnoticed and unreported because of the breed that is subject to these despicable acts. What if all the incidents and accidents and attacks you hear and read about in the news are only snippets of the true story? What if the breed is nothing like the monsters many believe they are?

    The idea of literature being an important aspect of life has always been greatly prevalent in my upbringing.

The famous philosopher, Plato, thought that “owning objects is detrimental to a person's character”. By examining the different types of ownership and evidence from historical to contemporary society, ownership correlates with one’s sense of self by either improving or diminishing it.

    Personally, I have always believed objects are nothing more than trinkets or a sorry reason to brag. Throughout my life, I have always struggled with the prospect of being materialistic. To be materialistic is to be money-oriented or concerned in possessions. Only in my recent years have I learned the emotional value that an object can hold. Objects can always have a deeper meaning; a few objects that are deeply intertwined within my spirit are quesadillas, a polaroid camera, and my sketchbook.

    Books have always held a sense of security for me because they offer an instant escape from reality.

When there’s nothing but monotony in my life, I escape to far off lands where anything is possible. With enough imagination, the stories not only come alive, but I become part of them. This sensation is so strong that the feelings I experienced reading follow me long after I close the books. Books also let me live different lives. I
