The first grade I received on the Descriptive Essay was barely satisfactory after all the hard work I attempted to put into my first essay. I made many errors that were due to my lack of explanation and demonstration of examples. For example, I did not explain how meeting people made it special while dining in Greenwood Dining Hall.

The Literary Analysis Essay also shared the same problem since I did not discuss each point to the fullest.…

With approximately sixty to one hundred million feral cats loose in the United States measures have started to be taken to lessen the number of cats we have in the wild. However, with the threat of offending animal rights activists there are only so many steps that can be considered humane enough to enforce. A feral cat can be defined as a cat that has been abandoned or a cat that was originally born in the wild. With the large amount of wild cats we have in the United States it has become a growing concern nationwide to those individuals who live near the populations of feral cats, and to researchers who are studying or protecting native birds and small mammals that the cats prey on. Researches have come to the conclusion that the trap, neuter and release, or TNR, of feral cats is the best way to reduce the amount of cats we have in the United States, while also being…

Founder Catalina Esteves described that all the animals who attend the classes were brought in from local shelters, and added that her clients frequently adopt them immediately.
