The Wild • 1. The composers of both texts in this elective have gained insight through out their exploration of the Wild.Write an essay that explains how the composers of your prescribed texts have done this.The module "In the Wild" deals with humanity's relationship with nature. It shows that nature is the cure for all humanity, the cure for all deeds and a guide to them all. Man's origins lie in nature, it is where man begun and where man will end. Both composers gain insight from nature. Nature is an inspiration to those who seek it. It is a moral agent, correcting the person when he or she has done wrong and showing them the right path. True freedom can only be found in nature itself, not in a city or where society has its root, as Ovid discovers and Wordsworth grows up to learn. "God is in nature", which means that the closer a person is to nature, the closer they are to god; more spiritual, for god is everywhere.
Animals • Animals • First of all we need to understand what ectothermic and endothermic animals are. Animals differ in their abilities to regulate body temperature (thermoregulation). We sometimes use the terms "cold-blooded" or "warm-blooded." Most reptiles feel cold to the touch, while mammals and birds often feel warm. Somewhat more precise descriptions can be made by using the terms poikilothermic and homoiothermic. The body temperature of poikllotherms is relatively variable, while that of homeotherms is relatively constant. Even more useful terms are Ectothermic or Endothermic, which suggest two different mechanisms of thermoregulation. Ectotherms generally obtain heat from their external surroundings. Their body temperature varies, corresponding at any time with the temperature of their external environment. Endothermic animals, on the other hand, have relatively constant body temperatures. Their body temperature is independent of that of their external environment. Monkeys and walruses, for example, both have body temperatures of about 38„aC, despite living in very different habitats. However if body temperature rises above its optimum level (usually around 40„aC in mammals) then the enzyme rate inside the body will go into sharp decline.
Animal cruelty • Each one of you has probably walked into a pet store and saw those sad-faced little puppies and thought "Oh you are so cute; I have to take you home"? Well, they might be cute, but you don’t have to take it home. Chances are that that cute little puppy will be more of a problem than a pleasure. See, all those puppies have to come from somewhere, but where? The answer, for the most part, is a puppy mill and for the dogs that live there, it's exactly heaven. Here, they are rarely fed – just enough to keep them alive – and the conditions they live in are horrendous. Most times, they live in wire cages, sometimes all stacked on top of each other, which for the dogs in the top cage is very convenient, considering that when they go to the bathroom, none is falling on them. However, for the dogs below, it is a rotten, filthy mess. Plain and simple, a puppy mill is no different than a steel mill, or paper mill; it is the starting point of a product that is mass-produced for the retail industry. Puppy mills don't have to be dirty, they don't have to be illegal, they don't have to have sick and dying dogs, for most part they are, …they just have to produce dogs for the wholesale dog industry. Some think that going into the pet store and buying a puppy will help stop puppy mills, but you're wrong. Yeah, it might help the one dog that you are buying, but every time someone buys a puppy from a pet store, they are opening that cage to more puppies, and giving the puppy millers a reason to keep breeding.
