Playwright Tennessee Williams once said “a symbol in a play has only one legitimate purpose which is to say a thing more directly and simply and beautifully than it could be said in words”. He seems to take his own advice to heart when writing such a thought provoking play as A Streetcar Named Desire. While Williams makes extensive use of symbols in Streetcar, the use of animals and animal-like characteristics as a symbol are constantly used to define Stanley Kowalski’s character and convey his desires

Shorthorn The Shorthorn breed of cattle originated in the North East of England in the late 18th century. The breed was developed as dual-purpose, suitable for both dairy and beef production; however, certain blood lines within the breed always emphasised one quality or the other. Over time, these different lines diverged, and by the second half of the 20th century, two separate breeds had developed – the Beef Shorthorn, and the Milking Shorthorn. All Shorthorn cattle are coloured red, white, or

lamb is put through a process called fostering. Fostering an essential practice used in different parts of the world; mainly to not only increase the survival rates of these lambs but also to bring in more profit to these sheep productions. Before applying these foster methods on sheep, farmers must carefully observe the ewes’ behaviors, actions, growth, and weight since they all contribute to the success rate of fostering lambs [1]. Though these aspects may matter when it comes to fostering, a farmer’s

The Jones Farm The sheep are out again, we have to fix another prolapse, shear the show lambs for the show for which we will most likely have to awake at 4:00AM, and when that 's all done, retreat to our house and eat dinner. An approximate representation of what a typical summer night at the Jones farm. If you were ever to start a television show where you wanted to have the viewer on the edge of their seat not knowing exactly what is going to happen next, insert my family. To give you a hint

2. What are the potential risks of the wider use of genetically modified foods? Environmental activists, religious organizations, and professional organizations and other scientists and government officials have all raised concerns about Genetically Modified foods, and indicated the faults at the agribusiness for achieving profit without having any concern for potential hazards and risks, and also on the government for terribly failing to exercise proper regulatory oversights on these concerns.

nine days. The sheep farmers could learn that “the prevention of any close olfactory contact resulted in an intermediate rate of acceptance, even though acceptance was apparently based on olfaction, as shown by universal rejection of strange alien lambs” (Alexander, G., 2003). In the end, there were no negative effects on the ewes or lambs, the only disadvantages were that this method was, in fact, very laborious and the farmers had to clean the soiled wool of the

concept of cloning has been a controversial issue discussed since the 1900’s after the creation of Dolly the sheep, whom was the first mammal cloned. In the year 1996, Dolly was cloned from adult stem cells using the Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer method which resulted in an “important breakthrough that would increase the speed of scientific progress” (Hellsten). The creation of Dolly the sheep informed researchers that specialized cells (adult stem cells) are willing to reprogram themselves, therefore

Advantages of AI Advantages of AI were observed in the 1950s when successful extension and cryopreservation of bull semen allowed for the collection of valuable sperm at one site and the production of hundreds of doses that could be stored for a period of time to be shipped to distant farms far from the stud site. The ability to breed females without moving the sire to a new area for natural mating increased the rate of genetic progress, reduced the need for bulls or boars on the farm, limited the

Case Study 2: Animal Cloning Organism: Moa (Dinornithidae) and Sheep (Ovis aries) The first successful mammal was cloned in the form of Dolly the sheep in 1996. She was cloned at the Roslin Institute in Midlothian, Scotland, and lived there until her death when she was six years old. Animal cloning involves the procedure of producing a new multicellular organism that is genetically identical to another. This is carried out with the use of somatic cell nuclear transfer. Somatic cell nuclear transfer

You arise on a Tuesday morning, turn on the news, and notice the headline reads “All breeds of sheep now declared extinct.” How could this have happened? There are breeders out there to prevent this plausible epidemic from becoming a gritty reality. Some people are incapable of comprehending the amount of work and planning that is encompassed in the entire breeding process. Understanding the process will let you understand the determination needed and support those who endure the task.

As the season changes into fall, many farmers expect their ewes, or mature female sheep, to become impregnated. In 148 to 150 days, ewes give birth to a single lamb or possibly twins. However, for many farmers, problems can occur after the ewe gives birth to lambs. Unfortunately, between 15 to 20 percent of lambs die, because of the farmer’s lack of preparation and planning (S.J. Ward et al. pg87). This lack of preparation and planning often occurs when the ewe rejects her lamb or when she gives

In the film “Love Stinks”, a sitcom writer named Seth Winnick (French Stewart) spends the night with an interior decorator named Chelsea Turner (Bridgette Wilson), after meeting her at Larry (Bill Bellamy) and Holly Garnett’s (Tyra Banks), wedding rehearsal. Shortly after their date, they become a couple. Later in the film, Chelsea swindles Seth into living with her and then begin asking him to wed her. To silence her, he convinces her that he may propose to her the following year. When Seth doesn’t

Did you no scientist clone animals, but 99% fail? The other percent that survives has health and attitude issues. Should we really risk our pet(s) to clone them? Cloning a pet is wrong because there are pets available in shelters, it is very expensive, and there are many side effects. Some people may think it is ok to clone animals , however there are plenty of animals in shelters. Every year 3.9 million dogs and 3.4 million cats are put into shelters (www.ASPCA.org 2016). There are 7.6 million

The “I Choose SA” campaign was started to promote the purchase of locally grown/made products. The campaigns’ main objectives are to increase jobs via the demand for SA products, help businesses and consumers identify South Australian products and drive sales of products and services throughout SA. [1] Lamb is quite popular Australian food with an annual consumption of 7.4Kg per person; in South Australia there are many farms that raise the lambs. [2] Lamb has become iconic with Australians in general

Contrary to popular belief, cloned animals have the same DNA and genetic code, yet most of the time they do not look alike. In Michael Bay’s The Island, humans can pay five million dollars to have a clone of them made. The clone is then harvested for body parts when the client is in need of various organs or transplants. Lincoln Six Echo is one of those clones living in the clone society where the population believes they have survived a contamination outbreak. The only salvation for the clone society

the sheep out of the show pen. Fly tells Babe that he needs to be dominant and if he is then the sheep will do as he says. Babe gets up and starts trotting around the show pen barking at the sheep trying to get them to move and imitate the way the sheepdogs act because Babe has seen it done before and it has worked. Soon after Babe runs around the show pen like the sheep dog the sheep laugh and one of the sheep informs Babe that all he has to do is ask and they will do as he says. The sheep, elated

To begin, Snowball kept the commandments as they were. He painted them on a wall for everyone to know and remember them. Napoleon is very

In “Robinson Crusoe”, Daniel Defoe uses biblical allegories and allusions, as well as the titular character’s constantly changing devotion to God to show his view that belief in a higher power leads to success. Through supporting characters and their differing beliefs, Defoe expands upon this idea to claim that religious belief of any kind, not just Crusoe’s Christianity, is beneficial. In the very beginning of the novel, through a fictional editor’s preface, Defoe tells the reader directly that
