Abstract

This is a review of a paper called, “Are Humans the Source of Canine Mange? From the journal Parasites and Vectors. I reviewed the paper and determined that the study was both accurate and sound. The paper hypothesized that humans were the main reason for the spread of Sarcoptes scabiei in dogs and other canines. The results indicated that humans were not the main carriers of Sarcoptes scabiei to dogs and other canines and that further studies should be undertaken.

Are Humans the Initial Source of Canine Mange? Is a journal article written by Valerie Andriantsoanarina, Fang Fang, ...

The short story “Boys and Girls” (1968) by Alice Munro discusses a young girl’s coming of age, and her realization about what it means to be a girl in a society where gender roles preordained and stereotypes are highly prevalent.

In Alice Munro’s “Boys and Girls” and ...

Fur clothing is warm and comfortable. Hominids, such as Homo sapiens, that travelled beyond Africa used fur for clothing in their journeys. There is no clear date when people started using fur since different researchers have different opinions on the exact date. People started using fur since the early days of the European settlement ...

Compare the young girl’s thoughts on gender stereotypes in ‘Boys and Girls’ to the discussion provided by Stevie Cameron in her essay ‘Our Daughters, Ourselves’ how do both authors regard “being female” in their given circumstances?
There are huge differences between these two texts: one is fictional and first published in 1968 and set in an even earlier period (the 1940s when Munro was a young girl), while the other is about a real incident and published in 1990. These differences in genre and date are important and need to be explored, not least because Cameron is writing at a ...
