Analysis Of Jimmy Chew

Improved Essays
Our story is about a dog who is known as Jimmy Chew. He is 2-year-old Retriever, Labrador who was qualified to be accepted into the Canyon County Sheriff’s Drug Dog Training Program. He is shown here in the picture with his handler Casey Zechman an Officer for Canyon County Sheriff’s Dept.

While Jimmy was associated with WVHS he displayed some qualities that are sought after by Law Enforcement agencies. Some of these qualities are that they must be ball driven, have a prey drive, and have a willingness to do whatever it takes to expose or find the ball.

1.) To be ball driven means that the dog will keep going after the ball and not stop for an unlimited amount of time - ‘the ball is what is important to the dog.’

2.) To have prey drive

    Nathan Shapow said that they were fed very little in concentration camps. They were given coffee to drink in the mornings, more to keep them energetic than to keep them alive, and also little bits of bread broken into four pieces, to feed four people. I could never live off of this diet, let alone do heavy labor. They did very much work, and those who couldn’t work, like children, the elderly, women, babies even, were given lethal gas until they died or burned alive in stoves. I knew that Jews were gassed but not burned alive.…

In one of his most famous essays, The Pleasures of Eating, Berry talks about how in 1989 people did not know where their food came from or how it was produced.…

    Fitchen talks about malnutrition in the United States, a country, which most people expect that it feeds its citizens well. She elaborates the cultural values and meanings that are attached to the opposition rich-poor on the image of a poor person buying a steak with a food stamp. She shows that domestic hunger often goes unnoticed, because those people who are poor enough to qualify for government food stamps, may be seen in grocery stores, purchasing not only basic food stuffs, but also popular items, such as potato chips, desserts, and beef steaks. With such purchases, low-income people may seek to affirm that they can live like other Americans, and thus attempt to hide their hunger from the public. At the same time, these foods contribute to their malnutrition, and the public concludes that if poor people can eat steak, they must be neither poor nor very hungry.…
