Eleven years ago,

Swoosh...Swoosh! That was the sound of the water going back and forth because, it was a sunny day for a great day on the beach. All of a sudden everything just went sideways! There was a bear right in front of my family! Mike, my grandpa was so quick he snapped a picture, but then the bear just stared at him. My grandpa was frightened from this bear and he was thinking about all the possible ways to get away from that bear. What do we do now? What was the bear doing there in the first place?
The bear just stood there on his two legs. Mike was wondering what to do. He remembered that the jeep was in the parking lot of the beach. He wondered if we can make it to the jeep. He finally figured out a way to get all of us there now. My dad, Pat grabbed Connor and I and ran for the jeep, so did Mike and Teri. The bear just got on his four legs and …show more content…

he was hanging on it like he was trying to get a ride with us. He started to bang on the jeep’s side. It was about to tip over now. Mike was looking in the mirror watching the bear try to get on top of the jeep. Mike shook a pop at a super fast rate, and he opened it while throwing it out the window at the bear. It blew up in the bear’s face. The bear was knocked off of the truck and he almost died once he dropped on the ground at a fast rate. He then ran back to the wild.
We all went to the cabin so my dad can inform my mom, Nicole what what happened. She was terrified, but then she was ok since we were fine. My mom never really went to our cabin on Grand Island. When we were at the cabin my family called it a night and went right to bed.
Now since those eleven years past, my grandpa is still talking about this story. Since he took the picture of the bear everyone knows the story was true, and they are terrified of the story. I was too when I saw the photos of the bear eating my diapers. Now it’s just a fun to laugh about the story because it is so

    Looking through the thick pines, Apollo stops and points his tail. His mouth is bearing the ivory-like jaws ready to greet the threat. The stench of death is blowing through the wind. Bruce looks around. First he spots dead carcasses everywhere, then through an opening in the trees all he can see is the gigantic head of a mountain lion mouth dripping with crimson droplets from its fresh kill. The big cat backs away, snapping every branch on the way out. With the adrenaline racing through his veins, Bruce charges through the limbs raising his knife. He gets to where he last saw the beast and then he sees nothing. Not a single track. He kneels down to examine the lions fresh kill. It was a… just then the sensation of knives jabbing into Bruce’s back awakens him from his confused state. The razor sharp claws sink deep into his flesh. Bruce lets out a blood curdling yell as the pads of the enormous feet slide down his back. The only thing Apollo could do to save Bruce is snap at the legs of the mountain lion.

  • Smokey The Bear Mascot Analysis

    This internal conflict between how society characterizes bears versus the natural behaviors of wild bears is exemplified in the documentary Grizzly Man, by German film-maker Werner Herzog. The documentary analyzes the life and death of Timothy Treadwell, a want-to-be filmmaker, who spent the later years of his life living amongst wild bears while compiling footage of wild bears that aimed at educating the public about bears and how to preserve bears and their habitat. Unfortunately, Treadwell and his girlfriend are later mauled to death by the bears he was attempting to protect. In the film, it is immediately evident that Treadwell’s perspective on wild bears is abnormal; he treats the bears as if they were harmless animals by petting them, turning his back, reading to them, and giving each bear a nickname. However, throughout the film it is apparent Treadwell is fighting with an inner struggle, shown by baby-talking to the wild bears, yelling at them when they get too close, and then immediately apologizing for yelling and professes his love of the bear. In an interview Treadwell states that bears are misunderstood, and that people should not harm wild bears. In one scene, Treadwell films himself in his tent, cuddling with his favorite teddy bear, so it is apparent that the concept of virtual bears has clouded his beliefs about wild bears. In For the Love of Nature: Documenting Life, Death, and Animality in Grizzly Man and March of the Penguins, Jennifer Ladino describes Treadwell’s view on nature, “The fact that he frequently occupies the frame alongside the bears undermines the tendency of the wildlife film to draw a stark line between animals and humanity” (Ladino, 75). While Herzog conveys the message that wild nature is indifferent to humans, Treadwell is

    The bear skulls and limbs were not particularly interesting themselves but how they were unnaturally arranged in the ground. Bächler found that the bones were arranged into a perfect circle and believed that they were intentionally placed in a circle so it could be used in some sort of bear cult ceremony. While this may be just a theory, archeologists suggest that this was the origin story of animal worshipping that took place in the Upper Paleolithic era.

  • The Story Of Theodore Roosevelt And The Teddy Bear

    820 Words  | 2 Pages

    The story begins in Mississippi in the spring of 1902. The United Mine Workers of America were on strike demanding higher wages and shorter work days. Since the mine owners couldn’t shut down production legally, they welcomed the strike since they didn’t have to pay wages and could raise the prices and the demand for coal. Since neither side was going to give in, Roosevelt stepped in. He threatened to send troops to take over the mines. The two sides finally came to a settlement in October. After this event, Roosevelt accepted an invitation by Mississippi governor, Andrew H. Longino, to go on a hunting trip in Mississippi. The trip was in November, scheduled for ten days, and their guide was Holt Collier, a former slave. Though Roosevelt wanted to see a bear on the first day of the trip, he did not. It wasn’t until the next day, that he did see one. His dogs picked up the scent of a bear in the morning and he tracked it for hours, but to no avail. Finally, during the president’s lunch, Collier tracked a bear for the president. His dogs had the bear cornered and they were ...
