Most Americans say they've heard about the plight of homeless pets, yet grossly underestimate the size and scope of the problem, as well as the number of dogs and cats who must be put to death in U.S. shelters every year. This, according to the findings of a comprehensive new survey commissioned by PetSmart Charities and conducted online by Ipsos Marketing among 2,000 U.S. adults and an additional 1,000 adults who acquired a dog or a cat in the past year.

Jay-Z -history

The song I chose was Jay-Z History I chose this song because I think it’s a great song I makes you think and it uses a lot of personification . And the way Jay-Z uses this personification and have you like did he really say that. Also his metaphors will have you like he’s the greatest.
The song was made for Barrack Obama Jay-Z made the song to send out a message saying history was made on the night Obama was elected. The whole song is about victory but he uses victory as if it was a girl and he wants victory but he keeps getting her sister defeat he say’s “In search of victory she keeps eluding me if only we can be together momentarily. We can make love and make history why wont you visit me until she visits me. I’ll be stuck with a sister her name is defeat”. That’s just one example of personification another is when he talks about him and victory having a baby and they’ll name History he say’s “We’ll have a baby who stutters repeatedly we’ll name him history”.
The song is a big metaphor in it’s self for the election of and the journey that the Black community has traveled to reach this achievement.
This is why I think that Jay-Z song History is a great song to send out a message.

10/31/08 Rory RobinsonDid the story Animal Farm master me or did I master it. In the story Animal Farm some of the animals were lied to throughout the story. In this essay I will talk about how the animals were lied to in the story. And how the animals listen to all of Napoleon rules. In Animal Farm, the way characters respond to stories has a strong connection their ability to survive.
First I will start with Squealer. Squealer was a good story teller and always twisted the story. And always told lies to the animals. For example when the animals found out the commandments were changed they came to and Squealer twisted the story and told them the rules were the same. When Squealer told the animals the story of the rebellion he told lies. He told the animals Snowball was a coward and he destroyed the windmill he told the animals this so they wouldn’t care if the dogs killed Snowball. Squealer also knew Napoleon changed the rules and didn’t try to change that. And when the animals ask about the rules he made the animals think they were dumb and crazy. And he told them the rules weren’t changed. By the end of the story Squealer was fat and rich.
Next I will talk about Benjamin. Benjamin never spoke up but always followed the rules. Benjamin was the only animal that could read. Benjamin also always knew the rules were changed. But he always still followed the rules. And stayed to himself and never spoke about what was going on. When he talks to the animals he told them the rules were changed but they couldn’t tell because they couldn’t read. By the end of the story Benjamin lived and got old.
Last I will talk about Boxer. Boxer never spoke up just like Benjamin and always followed the rules. Boxer always thought Napoleon was right and followed his every word. And he was a hard worker he was one of the hardest worker on the farm. He was also fooled easily and always believe everything he was told that why he followed all Napeleon rules and couldn’t tell the rules were changed that why Benjamin told him the rules were changed. By the end of the story Boxer was sold to a horse slaughterer.
The characters respond to stories that connect to their ability to survive as I explained in the essay. Squealer twisted the story. Benjamin never spoke up toward the story. And Boxer believed the story. Animal Farm is important to the real world because it shows how people would react to propaganda and rhetoric.
