Guard Llamas
by J. Robbins
Livestock, such as sheep, cattle, and goats, are vulnerable to many threats, and predation of valuable livestock costs millions of dollars per year. A guard animal lives with a herd or flock to protect the livestock and deter predators. Shepherds, farmers, and ranchers consider the ideal guard animal to be one that is effective, fearless, cost-effective, and easy to maintain. Surprisingly, guard llamas have proven to fit the bill in most circumstances and can be found guarding animals on farms and ranches across the United States and North America.
Llamas are members of the South American Camelidae family and are used as beasts of burden in many areas of the world. They are well-socialized to humans and bond quickly with livestock. Additionally, llamas react aggressively to members of the Canidae family—including dogs, coyotes, jackals, foxes, and wolves. These attributes make llamas ideal guard animals for a variety of livestock, although they are most widely used to guard sheep. Once llamas become attached to their livestock, they actively protect the animals by chasing, kicking, or spitting at predators and moving the flock to a safe location.
In a study conducted by Iowa State University in 1990, llamas were rated as effective guard animals by 80 percent of sheep owners. Many ecologists and wildlife biologists are also pleased with this practice because it provides a non-lethal way to handle predators. Llamas are also a sound investment for shepherds, farmers, and ranchers because they are long-lived (often living up to 20 years), acclimated to a wide variety of climates, and able to graze on the same land as sheep, goats, and cattle. Although they are not 100% successful against predators, guard llamas can be an effective, economic, and ecologically friendly resource to help livestock owners protect their livelihood.

While only one's beliefs and opinions have the proper weight to anchor this question, in my opinion, absolutely. Not only does it bring the idea of culture into the societal equation, but it expands areas of knowledge that can't really be explained otherwise unless acted out. This also gives minorities the opportunity to act out history correlating to their culture.

answer: Greg Ridley is upset because he is doing poorly in school, and he is afraid his dad will not let him play basketball as a result. He goes to an abandoned tenement house to avoid the lecture he knew his father would give him and to get out of the rain. He meets Lemon Brown, who thinks he has come to rob him.
Lemon Brown begins to talk about his treasure, and Greg questions whether someone like him would even have a treasure. Lemon Brown recounts the high points of his life as a blues singer and how he came on hard times.
Some neighborhood thugs show up because they have heard Lemon Brown talking that he has a treasure and they want it. Greg and Brown try to remain quiet so the men will not find them in the dark. While Greg tries to escape up a second flight of stairs, he sees Brown standing at the top of the main ones. He watches as the men demand that he throw down his money. What he does instead is throw himself down the stairs crashing into them. The three men then run away.
Brown agrees to show Greg his treasure, but first they look outside to make sure the men are gone. They see them sitting on a curb looking at their wounds from where he had crashed into them.
Lemon Brown retrieves the old newspaper clippings and an old harmonica to show to Greg. He explains how he sent these things to his son, Jesse, when Jesse went to war. He tells Greg how he traveled a lot when his boy was growing up. When his wife died, the boy went to live with his mom's sister. He sent those things because he wanted his son to know his father had done great things.

Answers
Answer:
The imagery in "The Rear-Guard":
c. stresses the horror of war
Explanation:
"The Rear-Guard" is a poem by author Siegfried Sassoon. Vivid imagery is used to convey the horrors of war to the audience.
The narrative poem focuses on a soldier who is walking through tunnels underneath a bloody battle. The speaker takes his time when describing a certain scene: The soldier finds someone lying on the ground and pauses to ask him a question, not realizing this man is dead. He then sees the decaying body and the agony that, for some reason, has not left his eyes yet. When the soldier finally finds the exit, it is only to suffer more in battle.

When people conflict there has to be a resolution. So conflict can change people minds about things. So somethings need to have conflict to change peoples minds about things. The reason why someone might have a conflict to change someone’s mind for the better.
Now why would conflict change things. Well like I said in the last paragraph conflict can change peoples minds. So if conflict changes opinions. Then conflict could change everything.
So if you had a conflict with a person with a lot of power and you could change there mind. Then that person of power can make a change.
That was my essay on why conflict can make change. So conflict can be good if it inflicts a good change.

Story: born worker
The author most likely chose this narrative point of view to
O A. suggest that José is the hero of the story and Arnie is the villain
B. give readers a window into José's thoughts at crucial moments in the story
O C. make readers more resentful of José's cousin, Arnie
O D. express disapproval towards the character of Mr. Clemens
Answers
Answer:
B. give readers a window into José's thoughts at crucial moments in the story
Explanation:
The author of "Born Worker", chose a narrative point of view for this story so as to provide the readers with insight on José's thoughts at important parts of the story. José was the protagonist in the story. He was the "born worker", who did not say much most of the time but rather had his say in his mind.
The narrative style of the story allows us to know what José thought of most of the time. For example, after Arnie said that he knew one of his dad's colleagues whose dog fed on steak, the author narrated José's thoughts thus;
"He's a liar, José thought. No matter how he tried, he couldn't picture a dog grubbing on steak. The world was too poor for that kind of silliness."
