Although dogs may be loyal, some may beg to differ because if they can talk, surely the would not be as loyal. However reality saves us from the most trustful friend, THE DOG. George Graham Vest, Tribute to the Dog, is a speech that appeals to the jury’s emotion he tries to make them agree to him about the loyalty of thee dog. His technique is fascinating, it moves the reader.
“A man’s best friend is a dog.” They all say, which Vest proves it’s true. He adds in some emotional appeal to his speech talking about how family and the world may turn against you, but dogs will always be by our side. The nearest and most loving to you will betray you. But dogs will always be by our side. Dogs always prove to us that they are loyal. This quote from Vest’s speech tells about how a dog will never leave even in the darkest time: “The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog.” (lines 13-15.)

To begin with, once a man has failed in his life he quits, and thinks that he can go no longer; But inVest's speech he tells that a man whom has a dog doesn’t give up neither does the owner, that is if the owner cares.
When humans leave their dogs most do not know what is happening. When his master falls from his enemies and it is time to rest. “If fortune drives the master forth, an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog ask no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard him against danger, to fight all his enemies.” (lines 26-29) the dog will always be loyal to his master. It’s fascinating because of all the emotion put into this and all the thought that his speech is amazing, he talks about things that should be obvious about
dogs. And finally when master sadly passes away, and the last embrace of master’s body, where he passed away you shall sees a loyal dog laying on the cold ground. As he goes and ventures faith and true even after death. Vest’s quote explains all this: And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way,there by the graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness.” (Lines 29-34) In conclusion, Vest claims that dogs are loyal. He explains, and argues that man’s best friend is a dog. If you are a dog owner you might agree quickly. This emotional speech appeals to the reader’s heart and Vest identifies about the loyalty of dogs and talks about dogs always begin loyal. If, that is you are a dog owner this most will be quick to agree, but in the court it is pretty hard to make the jury agree.
First off, William had a deep obsession to have a dog. It wasn’t only just a child wanting a pet but a supplier for what his parents lacked. As a side note I also thought that the obsession was also a way to defy his parents. But besides that, for a lot of people, a dog is a figure of friendship. Dogs don’t have to even have to decide whether they like you or not, you just have to love them and feed them. They wouldn’t judge or care about your intelligence, your looks, or how much money you make doing whatever kind of job. A dog most of the time is a truly loyal creature you can trust to love. He lacked all that because his parents treated him like an accessory (which means he was nothing more than a responsibility and something that they had because “you’re supposed to have children”) and William even admitted that his childhood self was lonely: “In all situations I was the only child, and I must have been a lonely one, because what I wanted
Cesar is trying to tell us to correct our dog behavior by showing them that we are the leader, we need to show this to our dog, whenever he takes the role of a leader. Mark Derr views Cesar’s ways of correcting a dog as cruel because “it floods...and overwhelms the animal with fears.” Mark says “...animals are forced to submit or face their fear, even if doing so panics them.” Mark is trying to tell the reader that disciplining a dog in such way
Malcolm Gladwell’s Usage of the Straw Man Method of Persuasion in What the Dog Saw
"The Day We Were Dogs" is a short story written by an author born in Puebla, Mexico, in 1993. Elena Garro's major themes revolve around the concepts of time and memory. I do not believe this story is a true example of magical realism; however I do see the sublime and the fantastic used in this story.
The poem above speaks volumes about the nature of man’s best friend. Dogs are not inherently bad, but are rather “a product of their environment”. The same principle applies to the world’s most misunderstood breed of dog. When you hear the phrase “pit bull”, what do you think? A savage beast, murdered out of cold blood?
He saw that dog grow into what he raised him to and yet he got rid of him because he had to. How more human a person is to throw his or her own dog away. It must of hurt him so much since he saw his puppy grow into the dog he raised. I once owned a puppy as well, I adopted a puppy, a Chihuahua from the animal shelter. When I brought him home my mother, whom I live with was very upset because she does not like dogs. Moreover she does not like dogs inside of the house. She is not allergic to them nor anyone in my family she just simply did not want the dog inside nor out side of the house. I was very upset because she asked me to get rid of it. I my self did not have the heart to do so and neither did I plan on getting rid of a little innocent dog who had no place else to go. One day as I come home from school I noticed that Pete, my dog was not outside in the driveway waiting for me. Which was strange, so I came inside the house and notice that he did not bark as I came inside and to my surprise my mother got rid of him. She gave it to a friend who has a passion for animals as well. The example I gave reminds me of Turgenev and Marx. Turgenev representing myself, and Marx representing my mother in my
A repeated point made throughout the book was the fight for dominance between the dogs. In a canine hierarchy, the dogs on the top are generally established through physical dominance over the other dogs. Generally speaking, physical superiority means that it is ordinarily the largest dogs that have the highest ranks. Prince quickly embraces the new language and begins creating poetry. Prince’s artful expression of words makes the
Article #1 is a very effective piece of propaganda in that it captures the reader?s attention successfully by placing a picture of a dog in the focal point of the article. The dog plays a vital role in this piece of propaganda in that it represents a loved one, family and anything cherished. It shows what could be left behind, if a driver chose to ignore safe driving. The breed of dog is also very important. Choosing a sorrowful dogs face, further enhanced the emotions of the reader, as the article wouldn?t have the same effect if a dangerous dog was shown instead
feelings in the man and the dog, of a constant battle with this world of
Had he understood the importance of fostering a relationship with the dog, a native Husky with inbred instincts regarding the native climate, the dog would have interacted differently with him, maybe warning him of the danger of the weather through its actions or perhaps providing help, either by sharing its body heat or by going for help. However, instead he held little regard for the dog and the dog reciprocated: "there was no keen intimacy between the dog and the man. So it made no effort to communicate its apprehension to the man".
The dog they rescued is a particularly prominent topic, a vestige of the past civilizations. In defiance of the treacherous environment, the dog managed to survive, a feat that even Lisa, the most cold-blooded of the three main characters, could not help but be “impressed by” (Bacigalupi 61). Therefore, the dog is a symbol of hope for the reader, an animal that is in the extreme, completely out of its element, and yet capable of surviving. As a result, nature’s idea of itself is astoundingly resilient, keeping certain species alive as an attempt to return to the normal state of the world. Even after horrendous trauma the natural world is still capable of a stalwart attempt at reclaiming itself. Accordingly, it is never too late to start fixing the damages and help nature’s cause, before allowing it to escalate to such a degree where the oceans are black with pollution and there is no room left for the humans of today. Chen could not help but notice that the dog is different than them in more than just a physiological nature; “there’s something there” and it’s not a characteristic that either them or the bio-jobs are capable of (64). Subsequently, the dog has something that the evolved humans are missing, compassion. In consequence, the author portrays the idea that the dog
The dog is very playful with the hungry guards and thinks it was playful with everyone even though all the guards are very annoyed with it, showing how they just want to get the hang over with. The Hanging by George Orwell describes how the process of the hanging is an unfair punishment for all of the parties involved. We never got to know what the man was guilty of doing and only know that he still has a will to live. The guards are also shown the be miserable, not by the actual hanging of the person, but the fact they must do the hangings before breakfast at eight o clock. The conclusion of the essay shows how the guards and the main character cope with the hanging of a healthy man.
Some people may say a dog is just a dog, but for me they are extremely desirable. Dogs are a person’s best friend. They make me cry, laugh, and I wish never adopted one because they do smell. Although, dogs smell, it should not be a justification to not obtain one. I mean what does not smell? I never realized how taking care of a dog could change my life; until I saw how they sleep throughout the day, they are always there to comfort me, and how they provide a responsible way of living.
After the child encounters the dog they being to play with one another. The passage notes; “the dog became more enthusiastic with each moment of the interview, until with his gleeful caperings he threatened to overturn the child. Whereupon the child lifted his hand and struck the dog a blow upon the head.” (Crane) With this we see the first act against the dog. The dog does not turn violent or try to run away. Instead he summits and begs for forgiveness. He rolls onto his back and gives the child a look of prayer. The relationship roles here become clear the child can play god with this dog. Knowing how the dog reacts to this is showing how the dog’s character is to please his master. They play for a while longer, until the child loose interest in the dog’s antics. He began to head home, when he notices the dog is following him. He decides to get a stick and hit him with it. The dog still summits to this act and continues to tag along. When they finally reach ...
Since animals, especially dogs, share similar emotions as people they to make great companions. Animals do show us how to love better, because their emotions are more pure than a human's. According to Mary Lou Randour, in "What Animals Can Teach Us About Spirituality", animals are spiritual companions to humans. She tells the story of a boy who, after murdering someone, receives a dog to care for as a form of therapy. The dog comforts him, and the teenager learns to love the animal over time. The boy's pet is "healing his soul" by teaching him how to love. Dogs give their masters unconditional love, never questioning the human's orders or disciplines. I thought the story of the dog appearing in the author's backyard as her dead grandfather was rather outlandish. All of Randour's examples of how animals influence our feelings were viable aside from the disappearing ghost dog.
