Perspective

Perspective is a really broad topic. Everyone has different perspectives. Perspectives create relationships. Perspective destroys relationships. When people have different perspectives, sometimes it causes the two people to learn from each other and see things in a different light. When people have different perspective, sometimes it causes people to judge each

dogs are cool. but not really. they are probably my favorite animal ever and i love them to death, i dsilike my dog however. She is rude and obnoxious and barks to much and she smells weird. But she is also very friendly and nice and doglike so i love her but i hate her because of unsaid things that i cannot legally disclose.

Our society calls for reform.

I'll start off with the fact that I have an honest, true hatred for dogs.

Dogs are found in many homes in America, and among other countries. People have a tendency of obsessing over their dogs, going out of their way to provide for them, take care of them, and make sure their happiness is at a maximum. People sacrifice money, time, energy, and comfort for the sake of their dogs. What do the dogs ever provide in return? I don't see them paying for your doctor's bills, doing your hair for you, or even opening doors for you. If I ever had a boyfriend who peed outside, barked at doorbells, needed my assistance to bathe him, farted on my bed, and ate food off of the floor, I would not hesitate to dump him. So why do we lower our standards for smaller, hairier nearly lifelong partners who don't even take us out to dinner? Isn't it illogical to put so much into something with no compensation in return?

It's odd how our society decided to pick one species and title it 'Man's Best Friend'. Why dogs? Parrots are great, they can provide all of the company that dogs are capable of and more. Dogs can't greet you as you walk in the door with a cheery hello, nor can they fly next door and deliver a message for you.  Horses are way more useful than dogs as well. Such a large creature may be a slight inconvenience, but at least horses, unlike large dogs, don't force their great mass onto your lap while your watching television or your bed in the morning. You can domesticate armadillos, turtles, penguins. Every other animal can poop on the floor and sit on your couch all day, why did we pick dogs? There's no reason for us to choose dogs over these other perfectly acceptable animals.


I think after centuries of loyalty to these creatures, it's about time we as humanity broaden our familiar traditions and rid ourselves of this popular canine plague.

ANGER.

So, I have this best friend. Her name is Lauren Elaine Clark and I love her more than I've ever loved any boyfriend, puppy, cold piece of pizza, or grandma. We've been best friends for five years. And there's a long friendship that came before that. Without her, I would be a homeless meth addict with an eating disorder undergoing sexual advances in return for money.

To be continued.

I LOVE LAINIE CLARK.

Imitation Writing

Original Passage:

"A parent who really desires to understand his child does not look at him through the screen of an ideal. If he loves the child, he observes him, he studies his tendencies, his moods and peculiarities. It is only when one feels no love for the child that one imposes upon him and ideal, for then one's ambitions are trying to fulfil themselves in him, wanting him to become this or that. If one loves, not the ideal, but the child,then there is a possibility of helping him to understand himself as he is."

Notable Stylistic Elements:
-Takes a common found relationship in society, between parent and child, and analyzes how to act when the relationship takes a certain turn.
-Establishes a third person point of view to emphasize understanding and knowledge on the subject
-Concise, using simple diction

Context:
All knowing explaining the reasons and options in a relationship.


Imitation Passage:
A person who truly believes in establishing true friendship with another will not see the other through the screen of judgment and ignorance. If one believes the friendship is true, one listens , accepts the quirks and peculiarities, and keep the mind opened to that which they do not know. It is only when one doesn't receive this treatment in return that one may begin to title the friendship as false, and that the motive of the other is full of ill intentions. If one truly loves a friend, both parties must be willing to sacrifice for that of the other, and sacrifice of the valued leads to a truly unbreakable bond of friendship. With an acquired friendship comes an acquired understanding of oneself."
