What is the claim in the text “Zoos Connect Us to the Natural World.” by Michael Hutchins?

English

faust18 [17]3 years ago
3 0

The claim of a piece of writing is essentially the same as its thesis.  The thesis, as such, will generally be presented in the first paragraph (if not the first few lines) of the text.  When we look at the article, thus, the first paragraph mentions two things:  a gorilla named Little Joe (the hook/attention getter) and that zoos do a good job at nurturing their animals.  Readers can be safe to assume that the article will cover how zoos do a good job at nurturing because of how the last sentence within the introductory paragraph begins with “But less well covered was the very real success…”  As such, the claim of this piece is that zoos succeed at nurturing the animals that live within their walls.  Again, it’s important to remember how, generally, the thesis turns out to be the claim.

5-8 sentence of a summary of chapter 6 in mice and men
Vladimir [108]

Summary

In the same riverbed where the story began, it is a beautiful, serene late afternoon. A heron stands in a shaded green pool, eating water snakes that glide between its legs. Lennie comes stealing through the undergrowth and kneels by the water to drink. He is proud of himself for remembering to come here to wait for George but soon has two unpleasant visions. His Aunt Clara appears “from out of Lennie’s head” and berates him, speaking in Lennie’s own voice, for not listening to George, for getting himself into trouble, and for causing so many problems for his only friend. Then a gigantic rabbit appears to him, also speaking in Lennie’s own voice, and tells him that George will probably beat him and abandon him. Just then, George appears. He is uncommonly quiet and listless. He does not berate Lennie. Even when Lennie himself insists on it, George’s tirade is unconvincing and scripted. He repeats his usual words of reproach without emotion. Lennie makes his usual offer to go away and live in a cave, and George tells him to stay, making Lennie feel comforted and hopeful. Lennie asks him to tell the story of their farm, and George begins, talking about how most men drift along, without any companions, but he and Lennie have one another. The noises of men in the woods come closer, and George tells Lennie to take off his hat and look across the river while he describes their farm. He tells Lennie about the rabbits and promises that nobody will ever be mean to him again. “Le’s do it now,” Lennie says. “Le’s get that place now.” George agrees. He raises Carlson’s gun, which he has removed from his jacket, and shoots Lennie in the back of the head. As Lennie falls to the ground and becomes still, George tosses the gun away and sits down on the riverbank.
