Dogs Make Life Great

Let’s face it, they don’t call dogs “man’s best friend” for nothing. They are sweet, they love us, and they do work for us. There is simply nothing better than a dog. If humans have learned to survive against saber-toothed predators, stampeding herds, and enduring famine, dogs have been right there. As Robin to our Batman, as Scooby Doo to our Shaggy, dogs have been there through thick and thin in our darkest hours. After all we've been through together, how could anyone disagree that dogs are the best pet any human could have?

First, we get massive health benefits from dogs. They calm us down when we are stressed. Countless service dogs are trained every year to go into nursing homes and other facilities to provide comfort to patients. These therapy dogs have been shown to lower blood pressure and calm distressed patients. Dogs also bring sweet, sweet bacteria into our homes. These bacteria help build our immune systems and make us healthier. Studies have shown that people with dogs get sick less often. In addition, growing up with a dog in your home may make you less prone to dog-related allergies as you grow up. Finally, because dogs need regular exercise, dog owners tend to be more fit than those who do not own dogs or own only cats.

Second, dogs just make us happier. New studies have found a lower rate of depression in dog owners. In part because dogs force their owners to be more active, it is likely that dog-owners just cannot stay cooped up at home all the time. This activity level also makes it easier to meet people, stay socially engaged, and feel a sense of belonging. They are dependable friends as well, always ready with a sympathetic ear, a soft belly to rub, and a willing smile. If your day seems like a version of the zombie apocalypse, ten minutes of playing fetch will certainly keep those zombies at bay until you can get back in the game.

Finally, it’s all about cute. Sure other pets can be cute, but consider tail wagging. What other animal has such a universally understood expression of joy? How can you not give into that sweet face, holding a stick, waiting patiently to be taken out to play? And if you have any doubts, you must not have seen a dog rolling on its back, tongue lolling about, head swishing back and forth, scooting first one way and then the next as if competing in a silly worm dance.

Many cat owners may argue with this position, but dogs really are the best companions. They bring joy, like a bluebird brings spring, or a rainbow brings a promise. They teach us about patience. They teach us about faith, waiting patiently—no matter how many times we leave without them—for that one time they get to load into the car and go with us. Always ready to go, always ready to wait longer, they make us hurry home at the end of the day for just a little unconditional love.

By afternoon, Perrault, who was in a hurry to be on the

"Billee" and "Joe" he called them, two brothers, and
true huskies both. Sons of the one mother though they
were, they were as different as day and night. Billee's
one fault was his excessive good nature, while Joe
was the very opposite, sour and introspective, with a

A thousand forests had been crushed under the rain and grown up a thousand times to be crushed again.

Read this excerpt from “The Myth of Hercules.”

The goddess Hera did not forget about Hercules. She nursed her grudge for many years, waiting for an opportunity to make Hercules miserable. Hera watched as Hercules grew into a strong warrior. Hera cast a terrible spell on Hercules. She made Hercules lazy and tired. Instead of leading other warriors into battle and defending his home, Hercules spent his days sleeping. Without his leadership, his town fell to the enemy. When the spell was broken, Hercules was horrified by what had happened while he slept so comfortably.

Hercules was haunted by what he had done. What could he do to make up for the shame of not defending his town and his neighbors? He prayed to the gods and sought their advice. The god Apollo said that as punishment, Hercules must perform twelve labors, or tasks. These labors would be assigned to him by the evil King Eurystheus, whom Hercules must serve for twelve years. If Hercules completed all twelve labors, his shame would be erased from his soul, and the gods would make him immortal.

The excerpt shows how the heroes in Greek mythology are expected to fight in battle.

how has violence affected my life?
Do u think this is good?

How has violence affected my life? I can never really say that violence has affected my life, or say that it’s made me a difference in me as a person than I was before. Compared to the people who witness violence every day at home, or get abused mentally and physically in everyday life. Sure I’ve been called names by people or in school but I just don’t care, I don’t let things like that affect me I’ve learned to ignore people and continue with everyday life. What are the causes of youth violence? This is a thing that everybody asks teachers, principles, parents, and much more but do we really know? No. I've read many books on violence there's cyberbullying, there are photos that can affect people's lives, and many more.
My first thought, when I considered this question, was that violence had not affected my life in any meaningful way. However, the more I thought about it, I could see that violence has affected my life and the lives of those in my generation in many ways. We suffer because of increased crime and violence against kids. Violence has affected the way we live, play, and go about our daily lives. Teenagers in the generation before us could play outside all day as long as they made it home before the street lights came on. But my generation enjoys that kind of freedom because of violence. We don't play outside the way our parents did. We dont hang out at the malls, movies, and parks the way our parents did. We have learned to entertain ourselves at home and communicate through the new forms of media. Increased violence has forever changed the way we live.

The Civil War was the bloodiest conflict in the history of the United States. More
than 600,000 soldiers lost their lives. The fighting took place in many different cities
