walkway there are train whistles that are available to test and hear how they sound. So, if you want to annoy family members that come with you be sure to pull multiple times. It is a very engaging time to pull the whistles and compare the sounds. The two most known train whistles are the old flute and horn. The old flute whistle has a very high-pitched tone, while horn whistle is a quite loud but has a much lower pitch. Today when trains go by you normally hear the horn whistle, because it is easier

Dog whistle politics is a coded message. It has helped many presidents convey racism without being racist and has won them elections. Racial entreaties are mainly a republican strategy to bring in the white vote. Conservatives gave up trying to win over the African American community; statistically it was a smart move but, not a moral one. Ronald Reagan used dog whistle politics to win the election by attacking African Americans economically without actually using race as an aspect and also, currently
he did not see the truck until he passed the treeline. The treeline ends a ¼ mile before the grade crossing even though it takes ¾ miles for a train to stop. He admits he felt as if the truck was racing him and his first reaction was to blow the whistle instead of applying the brakes. This particular crossing had an accident 6 years prior so it should have been common sense for the engineer take extra precautions. According to exhibit 5, the Ralston Rd. had a diagnostic review on March 21st, 2006
When The Beatles released the song “Can’t Buy Me Love” on March 16, 1964, its intention was to become yet another hit rock number. While Paul McCartney may not have composed the tune for philosophical purposes, the idea is worth further consideration; how can money and power affect love and affection? This concept has been applied throughout many different works, long before McCartney decided to put his lyrics together. In From Sleep Unbound and The Tin Flute, Andree Chedid and Gabrielle Roy demonstrate

He refuses to say any emotion of any kind. He laughs about the cold and the pain it gives his body. He is heartless to his dog companion and yells at it with harshness and threats of violence. Even toward the end of the story, when his life is clearly on the edge of ending, he just acts like it will be a welcomed sleep. No worries about death or the life of himself and the dog. The man is cold hearted and uncaring to both himself and the
In the beginning, Dog goes over to Robot and finds that Robot is immobilized and unable to move; flustered, Dog doesn't know what to do and walks away from Robot, saddened (18-19). Some may interpret this as Dog abandoning Robot because Dog doesn't care for Robot anymore, however, Dog’s facial expressions and hands (pg. 19, panels 3 and 4) reveal Dog is in shock and is unable to comprehend what to do. Dog’s hands are just floating there, like someone who is in shock, and Dog is very
HOW TO STOP YOUR DOG BARKING EXCESSIVELY The natural way that dogs communicate is by barking, whining, and howling. Dogs express what they want to say to humans. We also want our dogs to bark as a warning of a potential danger or protect us form harm. These forms of canine expression can become a problem when it becomes excessive. The effective solution is to let your dog understand when to bark and when to be quiet. It’s our job to teach this important thought to our dogs. The minute you notice
Scary Story I looked up at the black sky. I hadn't intended to be out this late. The sun had set, and the empty road ahead had no streetlights. I knew I was in for a dark journey home. I had decided that by traveling through the forest would be the quickest way home. Minutes passed, yet it seemed like hours and days. The farther I traveled into the forest, the darker it seemed to get. I was very had to even take a breath due to the stifling air. The only sound familiar to me was the quickening
Ellie decided to get a guard dog because there were wolves. They kept on getting closer every night and she didn't want them to be at the house when I was just 4 years old. My grandpa was trucking at the time, so he was not home when it got to be dark. So my grandma to tell my grandpa that we need a guard dog or something so the wolves would not come to the house. He said that we could get a dog, but it had to of been a grown dog and trained because we need a guard dog. So when my grandma saw in the
The Horrors of Animal Euthanasia Due to the domestication of cats and dogs their populations have skyrocketed. This is due in part to the lack of pet owners acting in a responsible manner. These responsibilities include the spaying and neutering of pets. These numbers of homeless animals in communities have caused humane societies to euthanize too many animals. This, I feel is a violation to animal rights and is a cruel way for these animals to have to leave this world. I disagree with the
Comparing The Perfect Family, by Alice Hoffman, The Sanctuary of School, by Lynda Barry, Dog Lab, by Claire McCarthy, and Education by Jake Werner What we learn at home, at school, from our peers, and from entertainment can have great effects throughout our whole entire lives. There is no such thing as a perfect family, human being, or society, yet we are able to live our lives with the enjoyment of peace and harmony. What we see on television may simulate a perfect family, but, of course, not
Sublime and Fantastic Elements in The Day We Were Dogs "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. I think that this story is really a misidentification of magical realism. To start out, I was moved by the way the author talked about a
Identifying The Day We Were Dogs Whether or not "The Day We Were Dogs" (1993) is a magical realist story is questionable. Often stories are misidentified because of the closeness of literature such as magical realism, the fantastic, and the sublime. The story leaves a lot to one's imagination instead of presenting it in the text. Elena Garro blends two days and two completely different worlds together in this story. The magical elements depend on how one uses his or her imagination throughout
were rural and sparsely populated. Dogs and cats were valued for what they contributed to this rural lifestyle. Dogs were working dogs earning their keep on a local ranch or farm, or they were used for hunting to help put food on the table. Some dogs, as well as cats, were used as mousers to help keep small rodents out of the homes and barns. All dogs were permitted to run at large. During the third decade of the 20th Century, fee roaming dogs resulted in a dog overpopulation problem, and with it
you were telling your parents you wanted a dog. Their response was that it is a big responsibility to take care of a dog. Responsibility was a big word to you when you were five. You were determined to prove to your parents you could do it. Because cats are more independent than dogs there is more to taking care of dogs than just loving them. Cats are a loner type they come to you when they want attention and hide when they want to be alone. Dogs crave your attention from their owners and
Take, for example, an individual studying the disposition of dogs. If this individual had a traumatic childhood experience involving a dog (an attack, for example), this snippet of emotion will always taint the individual’s research, even if the circumstances are unrelated (the childhood dog may have been rabid). Emotional intelligence is very important, however, in living life. That is why we evolved it. Revisiting the aforementioned dog and disregarding rabies, it is possible that there is something
someone would buy from a pet store are raised in puppy mills. Puppy mills are well-known for their “inhumane conditions” and the endless breeding of “unhealthy and genetically defective” dogs only for income. People should adopt rather than buy from a pet store or breeder. By adopting from a shelter, one could give a dog a second chance at a happy life. Hundreds of thousands of puppies are raised each year in commercial kennels (Puppymills Breed Misery). Puppy mills keep breed stock in horrible conditions
A Man's Best Friend For many of us, the animals in our lives are our faithful pals who make us laugh, that keep us company and love us no matter what. But a man’s best friend doesn’t necessarily have to be a dog; I believe that any animal can be considered to be a man’s best friend. On the other hand they are many animals who don’t have the same luck as other animals do. For those animals life is hard for them on the streets .Most animals on the streets often suffer from hunger, illness, tumors,
