Answer:

"Gryphon," by Charles Baxter, is a short story set in the rural town of Five Oaks, Michigan. It is narrated by a boy named Tommy. At the beginning of the story, the class observes that their teacher, Mr. Hibler, is getting sick; sure enough, the next day, he is out, and they have a substitute teacher.

Miss Ferenczi is a positive influence by teaching them to be excited about learning through the stories she tells them. The conflict in the story is caused by the difference of what the accepted view of education is and the way Miss Ferenczi teaches.

The theme of the story is that the most gripping learning comes not from staying within our everyday boundaries but by being pushed outside the boundaries of the ordinary. This happens when the unusual substitute teacher, Miss Ferenczi, comes into Tommy's fourth grade Michigan classroom.

When I was 13 I had a dog as a birthday present it was a girl and we named her coco. She went everywhere with me we did everything together by the time I was 16 she was old and slowed down and we thought that was from old age. Coco had brain cancer we didn’t know what to do and we went to every vet in our state but nothing was helping. Coco pushed in for another two years till she passed.

I was so upset and devastated that I didn’t want another pet again but I got another dog a Great Dane named Sham rock he’d love coco they would fit in perfectly. Sham rock was the dog that brought me to love animals again and why I’m think about being a veterinarian when I grow up.
