Animal Dog( Draft)



       Dogs are known as “man’s best friend.” They are useful domestic animal, and we keep them as they used for both of the domesticated and feral varieties. Dogs perform many roles for us. For example, they work as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military, companionship. We find many kinds of dogs in this world. They are well-known as the Proto-Indo-European kwon- "dog", “Sanskrit kukuur” (कुक्कुर), Welsh ci (plural cwn), “Latin canisz”, “Greek kýōn”, Prairie dog, and “Lithuanian šuõ”.  "After emerging from their burrows at dawn, prairie dogs forage, fight, chase, “kiss,” vocalize, and play aboveground until they submerge for the night at dusk.”(Conservation of the Black-Tailed Prairie Dog: Saving North America's Western Grasslands. It is true that dog is helping us in many ways, and we get so many benefits.
        “I could not believe my eyes when I saw the monkey suckling Mintu (Female Dog), who did not seem to mind at all. Now the monkey lies down and sleeps with Mintu and the other puppies.' Mr. Reza said Mintu barks angrily if anyone disturbs the baby monkey (Daily mail, 14:16 EST, 22 December 2011).” Dog feeds to a baby monkey and helps that animal to relieve from illness.  There are so many evidences in our world that the dog is a useful animal in our planet. They always try to be obedient to their masters. Even sometimes human can refuse to support each other or other animals, but the dog is so much kind that they try to help their masters and also other animals. Dog work as a bodyguard at night time and help their masters many ways in Bangladesh. As much as they help others, they do not get support from humans to alive in the earth. Specialty, American people care so much to dogs, but in some Asian countries dog are beaten and never get food. Most people love animals, talk about animals, think about them, but they care less in reality. Now dogs become extinct in Bangladesh, Nepal or Pakistan because of not caring them at all.
          Dogs can be your best friend, and also they can give you best accompany in your lonely life. Most dogs are friendly, and they love human company. For example, dog can wait for you by the door. Also they can face smiling, and tail wagging.  “If you like the outdoors and your dog enjoys water, stand-up paddle boarding (SUPing) is a fantastic way to spend time together. The added bonus is that it’s great exercise for both of you. Standing and balancing on the board while paddling seems to work every muscle in my body, and it seems to give my dog a good physical (and mental!) workout, too. If you tire of paddling, just plop yourself down on the board and take a break.”

“Silence. In spite of himself, Will imagined that something large and bulky stopped in the trees and watched him. As he stood still his heart began to race. Never happened when he was drinking. Nothing bothered him after a few beers. Nothing. But now he felt the skin on his back crawling tight, and he ran his tongue over his lips. The night was crystal, sharp-edged. Whatever it was in the sumac began to shuffle away. "Neighbor dog," he said under his breath, and turned to go back to the house. He hated to give his back to it. Inside, he couldn't lose the feeling of threat. He had a list of numbers to call if things bothered him: Rocky, Billy, Paul. But these numbers were for a specific purpose. He was to phone if he wanted to drink.”

“Many dogs naturally take to water and swimming, so if your dog already loves the water, fantastic. If not, you may be able to develop her enthusiasm for water. Find a lake or pool with a shallow area and bring out the fun! Pair the new experience of two or four paws in shallow water with an enjoyable game of tug, or feed your dog high-value treats while her paws are in the water.”

 "After emerging from their burrows at dawn, prairie dogs forage, fight, chase, “kiss,” vocalize, and play aboveground until they submerge for the night at dusk. Prairie dogs thus differ markedly from other burrowing mammals, such as pocket gophers and moles, which people rarely see. Further, colonysites foster the growth of plants such as black nightshade, fetid marigold (also called prairie dog weed), pigweed, and scarlet globemallow— all of which are uncommon away from colony-sites. Finally, colony-sites attract fun-to-see animals such as American badgers, American bison, black-footed ferrets, bobcats, burrowing owls, coyotes, ferruginous hawks, golden eagles, mountain plovers, prairie falcons, pronghorn, and swift foxes."

Unpacking a Quotation


"There is a recurrent spot where the pattern lolls like a broken neck and two bulbous eyes stare at you upside down. I get positively angry with the impertinence of it and the everlastingness.  Up and down and sideways they crawl, and those absurd, unblinking eyes are every­where.  There is one place where two breaths didn't match, and the eyes go all up and down the line, one a little higher than the other.”

In this passage from “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Stetson, the narrator is beginning to see things again and again in the patterns of the "wall paper".  Using the description of the pattern as “a broken neck” that lolls and “bulbous eyes” gives an idea that the narrator is becoming the compulsion with the wallpaper by telling the images. It makes her worried. It also shows that the wallpaper disturbs the narrator and draws her into the paper, as if drawing her deeper into her mental illness. The narrator is beginning to see things in the paper.  Instead of just being an atrocious paper, she is starting to see things in the paper. Therefore, when her husband John tries to explain that there is no scarce thing at home, she thinks about it again and again.  Moreover, she feels worries about “Ghost” or something which she always imagines at home.  All of these moments have happened   because of her depression and felling uncomfortable at new home.

The words “two bulbous eyes”   give us the idea that the wallpaper behaves as human characterizes. She explains in this story that “two bulbous eyes” looks her with staring eyes. It is all about narrator’s imagination.  For example, her husband believes that she is suffering from anxiety and a little depression.  Therefore, she tries to find some clues of imaginative power or something like “Human” on the spot.  However, it seems that the narrator has problems in adjusting at new place and also she is feeling mental disorder.

 “Up and down and sideways they crawl, and those absurd, unblinking eyes are every­where.” The narrator looks wherever, she finds something existed at home. The narrator’s psychological situation at new home maybe describe here. For example, she feels herself observed by the ‘eyes’ on the wallpaper.  Then she starts to treat ‘imaginative’ observations as though they are real.  She says that the ‘unblinking eyes’ are ‘crawl’ ‘everywhere’. Perhaps her imagination is causing her to begin losing control of her thoughts.

It seems that the narrator always imagines something at home. It suggests that she may be mentally depressed. She always looks everywhere at house and feels anxiety imagining something in a wrong way.  She is mentally ill, and her husband never helps her. He believes that it is a woman’s illness and not an actual sickness. If it happens to anyone, we should think about the treatment of mentally ill.
