Narrative post A Shivering Hunt Every year starting on October 2 nd begins a new year for the North Carolina duck-hunting season. A tradition like hobby my dad and me have done since I can remember, it is a rush like no other and a beautiful scene every morning. Being on the water while the moon is still visible waiting on the sunrise to break the horizon, felling the chills of the cold crisp air almost taking your breath away and hearing the sounds of the swamp and rivers come to life. The hunts were always amazing even if it meant leaving the water empty handed until the morning of December 12 th 2016. This was going to be a great morning the weather was perfect for the ducks. A chilling thirteen degrees, as we made way in our boat to what we call the railway where the birds always fly. My adrenalin was pumping as the morning air took my breath away but this wouldn’t be the only thing to do so. In the boat was my dad, me of course along with out two shotguns, several boxes o...
Analysis post The song that will be analyzed is “He Didn’t Analytical Essay Have To Be,” sang and written by Brad Paisley. This song has deep meaning and was meant to be that way so that people could relate to what the song is about. This song is about a single mom meeting another man, and the man stepping to play the role of the father that had left the family. The song is sung as if it is the little boy speaking. That’s where the title of the song comes from “he didn’t have to be”.             The song was written and released in the month of August and year 1999; in December of 1999 it became the first number one single for Brad Paisley.

I have pondered over the way people react when they see firearms such as Ar-15’s but these weapons are not like you see on TV while watching your nightly shows like Hawaii Five-0 , or Criminal minds. The Ar-15 is no different than the ordinary Hunting rifle that most young hunters start with for a first gun and many grown men still use today such as the .223. The only difference is not the ammunition, or the damage that can be done with it but the appearance of the two rifles is different.  The .223 hunting rifle normally comes with a wood, synthetic, or fiberglass one-piece stock. Whereas the Ar-15 sporting rifle allows you to customize it, by this I mean changing the furniture like stocks, forward grips, sights, flashlights, and uppers and lowers that allow to change the caliber of the riffle to fire different ammunition but mind you still the same as other hunting rifles. Some people believe just the high capacity magazines need to be banned. Based on the journal “Why Ban “As...
Why Agricultural Animal Cruelty is and Issue today?             Agricultural Animal Cruelty is an ongoing issue today all around the world. In the article, “Public Response to Media Coverage of Animal Cruelty”, Muslims are required to kill the animals by cutting their throats while the animals are conscious. Some of the animals throats were cut up to thirty-three times causing them to become distressed while laying down dying with repeated vocalizations. In Australia, the animals are being stunned with a bolt stunner causing the animals to be unconscious when their hung in order to sever the blood vessels so the animals will bleed out. On May 30 th , 2011, ABC from Australia broadcasted an investigation of the treatment Australian cattle that was being exported to Indonesia of animal cruelty. The footage included: the animals were repeatedly kicked and beaten, their tails were broken, the eyes and nostrils were gouged, they w...
