collar. The claws are razor sharp and don’t draw blood, but I feel the sting. No tag.

Hmmm. I don’t recognize the cat who has been hanging around our five-acre property for

about two weeks, but cats come and go in this area because of living off a busy highway,

if you know what I mean. She is all black with long white whiskers, the longest I have

ever seen on a cat. I can hear her rumbling purr from where I stand over her. It is

intoxicating! I miss having a cat around since our big orange tabby Barney ...

Chapter 7 Summary: Cognition

Readers can also learn the weaknesses of Piaget’s theory through its critics who look at it as a theory that under-estimates the development of children which can be beyond the factors examined by him.

Elie Wiesel’s Night, the author’s autobiographical tale of his experiences in German concentration camps during the Second World War, is a harrowing story of family, helplessness and the simple human drive to survive. While the story focuses primarily on the Jews who are imprisoned, tortured and killed in Auschwitz and Buchenwald, one fascinating perspective is how the German soldiers are portrayed. The Nazi soldiers of the book are depicted as largely inhuman monsters, who strip the Jews of their identity and agency; while there are the occasional moments where the Germans are shown to just be following orders, ...

The Life of Pi is a fiction novel by Yann Martel that narrates the adventure experienced by the main character, Pi Patel, who survived in a shipwreck and found himself stranded in a lifeboat with a tiger named Richard Parker. I found this story unbelievable when I read of how Pi survived for a period that seemed like eternity with a wild tiger in a small lifeboat. What struck me most however is the main character`s ability to adapt to the harsh environmental conditions that were in existence at sea. For instance, Pi, who was a strict vegetarian had to adapt to a different kind of lifestyle ...
