Wolves are commonly used in American and English literature when it comes to stories of survival and the struggle of man versus

nature. Why do you think that is? What do wolves represent, figuratively and literally? Are there any other animals that may substitute for a wolf? Cite evidence from this text, your own experience, and other literature, art, or history in your answer.

Answer and Explanation:

1. This is because the wolf has a reputation for ferocity and aggressiveness, which are desirable characteristics in someone who must face nature despite the limitations he has. Regarding this wolf's savagery, Beryl Rowland states that "Antiquity and the continuity of belief establish the wolf's eminence as a universal beast," which justifies the association of this animal with ferocity and strength.

2. literally, the wolf represents a wild, strong, imposing and limitless animal, as the life of a wild animal requires. Figuratively, the wolf has a strong symbolism, he represents protection, loyalty, high sense, resilience and willpower.

3. If we consider strength and loyalty to the flock, the wolf can be replaced by several animals, especially those in the wild. However, none of them has the stature and unbeatable attitude that the wolf has.

How did the chimpanzee named David Greybeard behave when he came in contact with goodall in the forests of gombe
salantis [7]
The chimpanzee David Greybeard was actually accepting of Jane Goodall.  The chimpanzee David Greybeard actually “introduced” Jane Goodall to other members of David Greybeard’s family.   And, most notably (and surprisingly) to Jane Goodall, David Greybeard actually let her groom him.  What most surprised Jane Goodall was that David Greybeard was a full-grown adult male chimpanzee, and he let a human touch him by manner of grooming.

PROMPT TWO
alexdok [17]
In the document "Ain't I A Woman" I infer that time during that period for african american women was not equal compared to the whites. As a matter of fact in the document the author Sojourner Truth tells us " he says women can't have as much rights as men, 'cause Christ wasn't a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman!". This is such a powerful sentence to me because I agree. Not only was she black, but she was a woman and yet she could still do as much as any man could. Yet she is treated unfair because she was a woman. This document shows that in the 19th century there was racism, and neglected rights toward black men and women.
Paragraph two
<span>The mood of this story is quite confusing. I really felt sad and terrible for Louise knowing that not only is she ill but her husband died. Then through out the story she starts to react differently. She starts to scream "free" and "Free! Body and soul free!". Then I started to realize that she was not sad but happy that her husband was gone and she could live her "long" life free. Yet very tragically and ironic she gets a visit from her undead husband and has a heart attack and dies. What I can infer from this story is that in that time period women had more rights. She was saying that she was free and day dreaming of the days she could have now. </span>
Paragraph three
<span>Both of these stories are from a woman's point of view. There was the same message coming from both authors and that was the woman's right to be equal or to be "free". In "Ain't I A Woman" the author wants her rights! In her tone she is demanding to be heard and to inform the audience that she deserves to do as much as any other person man or white. While in "The Story of an Hour" the author tells us a story of a woman who wants to be "Free" and live her life with no one to oppress her. I think women felt trapped and restricted and just wanted to be free.</span>
