Billy is coming home from work one day when suddenly he hears some dogs up the street fighting. He goes to check it out and finds them picking on a redbone hound. He saves the dog and cares for it through the night. It reminds him of his childhood. When Billy was ten years old he lived on a farm in the Ozark Mountains of northeastern Oklahoma. He wanted two good coonhounds very badly, he called it “puppy love”, but his papa could not afford to buy him the dogs. For many months, Billy tries to content himself with some rodent traps his papa gives him, but he still wants a dog. Then one day he finds a sportsman’s catalog in an abandoned campsite. In it he sees an ad for good hounds, at $25 each. He decides he wants to save $50 and order himself two hounds. Billy works hard, selling fruit and bait to fishermen, and gathering fruit that he sells to his grandfather at his store. Finally, he saves enough money and gives it to his grandfather to order the dogs for him and asks him to keep it s secret. When a notice comes that they have arrived at the mail depot in the nearby town of Tahlequah, they decide to go into town the next week. That night Billy decides he can not wait any longer. He packs himself a little food, and heads of for town following the river through the woods. He walks all night, and finally reaches town in the morning. The people in town laugh and stare at the young hillbilly, but it does not bother Billy he is there on a mission to get his dogs. He finally collects his dogs and walks back out of town with their small heads sticking out of his bag. Some schoolchildren mob around him and knock him down, but the town sheriff rescues him. The sheriff is impressed with Billy’s determination, and says he has grit. That, night Billy camped in a cave with his two puppies. They wake up in the middle of the night to hear the call of a mountain lion. Billy builds a fire to keep them safe, while the bigger of the two dogs, the male, barks into the night air.
The lake finally melted and flooded the cabin, so a tent was pitched only ten yards from a hunting path. A boundary was made after the tent was pitched and the wolves never crossed it. Farley figured out the wolves were living on mice much more than caribou. When the heat came the wolves more their pups to a summer den where they could run. He watched the wolves hunting one day and was in a rage when they would not try and attack any of the healthy deer. Watching closely he figured out that they usually only eat the sick and weak deer.

Over the years Mr. Courtemanche has hunted all over the green mountains, outside his back door, and in the northeast kingdom in a small town called Newark at his brothers camp. He has also been hunting in New Hampshire in the White mountains and he went to Maine for one season. He said that “Everytime I go to a new hunting spot I always seen to be the one who gets the a deer.” Whenever his brother takes him to a new hunting spot he always gets lucky enough to shoot a big deer, and sometimes that is the only deer that is killed in the group. His brother always jokes that he doesn’t know why he brings him to new hunting spots because Mr. Courtemanche always gets a big
Why shouldn’t I shoot my friends or club a baby seal? Is there any reason not to bomb a village of 1,500 people I never met and have no problem with? How is my friend going to deal with the chronic hemorrhoids he got as his battle scars? Will Hunting asks these and other questions in his speech about working for the National Security Agency, which is packed with rhetoric and somber condemnation that the NSA certainly deserves.
I was nearly finished with my cigarette when behind me I heard the sound of something moving through the grass. I quickly but quietly extinguished my cigarette in the palm of my gloved hand and turned around. My eyes scanned to see exactly where the sounds had come from, and I only hoped that the smell of my cigarette hadn't spooked whatever was walking behind me. After about ten seconds I saw the ears of a deer sticking up above the tall grass about thirty yards from me. I slowly reached to my right to remove my bow from a hook in the tree. The deer was now moving towards me through the long grass, and behind it was another deer. I knew that the rut (the peak mating season) was well under way and this second deer may be a buck. After what seemed like an eternity the second deer came into view. It was a buck, as I had thought, but it was bigger than any deer I had ever seen.
Parents across America are working longer hours and trying to provide a better and surge future for their children, but Americans are unhappy with the K-12 education system, which we are told is the key for success. The United States has spent more on education any other develop country in the world, and education is ranked 31st and 23rd in Science and it seem that students are falling behind year after year. Yet, we are adding programs to our education system that suggested it would help our kids to more proficient in the classroom. Therefore, is this new approach on education really helping students? It seems that the Common Core debate is not just being fought in the classroom, but also in the court. The issue of a demising education structure
Everyone has to take English 9 whether they choose Honors English 9 or regular English 9. Everyone know the easier route is English 9. If you pay attention in class, you will learn lots of great stuff in either class. However, in Honors English 9, you will learn many more great things on top of what you will learn in English 9. Who doesn’t want more? Everyone wants to learn more right? Three main things that I hope to obtain in Honors English 9 are a greater vocabulary, a more in depth knowledge of types of writing, and my main hope is that Honors English 9 will help learn what to do in AP classes.
More homeless people are starting to gather inside the community leaving two options, either use police force to drive them out or work together and build shelters for them. Using police force may sound like the right way to go, but containing all the homeless to a shelter instead of them roaming in the community would allow police to watch and control them more easily. Instead of arresting and using our taxes on paying for a homeless person to go to jail for sleeping on a park bench, it would be more beneficial to build shelters to help cut back on unnecessary arrests. By building shelters, it would constrain them to a specific location, remind the homeless that they are people just like the people in our community, and explain that homelessness should not be treated as a crime by itself.
From birth, education is what allows for our development. Newborns are already learning after exiting the womb as they start familiarizing themselves with their new environment. Theoretically, education is supposed to be the tool that allows for self-improvement. The modern education system reassures us that one’s background does not define their future. In America, education is one as the factor that gives all its citizens equal opportunity. The idea of anyone being able to create their own path to success regardless of their origin is what has attracted people from overseas and can be why America is commonly known as “the land of immigrants”. Whether it is education in a classroom or from personal experiences, it is what allows us to become knowledgeable of the world we live and people we interact with. Education is supposed to give people the opportunity to better ones self and obtain the skills and the knowledge deemed worthy in obtaining upward mobility. Education reformist Horace Mann once stated: “education, then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions, -- the balance-wheel of the social machinery.” -------(distinguish education and schooling- somehow) However, has education system only been set in place to meet the needs of industrialism? In this day in age, people students are attending schools in order to someday be employed in order to live a comfortable life. Public schools are teaching students in a manner where creativity and critical thinking are being denounced. Instead, the main goal is producing high standardized test scores. Students are being taught to equate the notion of becoming successful as a product of schooling (Gatto, 150).
In the past year we have been fostering puppies. Although the are fun and cute, there’s a lot we have learned since bringing them into our home. Puppies, like babies, have specific needs. It’s not complicated, but understanding their needs and providing them will make the first few months of puppy rearing much easier.
