Who are you? Due 9/29
If you had to choose what kind of animal you are, what would you choose? Consider the animal's physical traits, it's behavior, its instincts. In what ways are you like this animal? Give at least three pieces of evidence for why you believe you are this type of animal.
I believe if I were an animal i would be a black puma. I dont know why but when ever i asked people what animal I should be they said a big black cat of some sort. I asked them why and they said because i was very exotic looking and could fool people. I tend to seem sweet but i can snap back if you mess with me. Thats just the way my instincts work!
continued~~~~ I'm a dancer so when I dance i tend to look like a fierce cat. Well thats what people tell me!Its so flattering to think that of all animals i could be a big, graceful, and mean cat! Pumas can be very tricky to deal with and i can be very complicated!
If I was to choose an animal which relates most to me, I would think that a mouse fits best accordingly to my personality and traits. I would come to this conclusion because like a mouse, I am adventurous, daring, and brave. I go exploring into the unusual corners of the world, yet at times, I can be very obnoxious and not so wise. Also, it would make sense to compare with a mouse because mice love to eat, and I, like, REALLY like to eat. But I am rather picky about the quality of food; I won't eat just anything, it has to be top quality. A favorite - and perchance will always be my favorite - chef would be my own mom. She definitely has talent in taste. Also, although I am not the brightest at times, I really am a quick learner. Like a mouse, it might fall prey to the traps once, but if it survives, it will never fall into the trap again (hopefully... occasionally... sometimes... a little... not really... no). Anyway! *clears throat* To contrast with the mouse, however, I am not shy... At all. I love to perform, and I have loads of confidence. It may not be a good thing, but for the first thirteen years of my life, it has served me well. Finally, like a mouse, it is very sensitive and careful. As much as I seem to be an outrageous, obnoxious person, I do take in a lot of things. I am more sensitive than most people think. I enjoy expressing my thoughts, and I dislike it when people ignore me. Teasing is on the bottom of my list, and I'm going to tell you that right now. So don't be surprised if I take teasing a different way. As much as I would like to write on (by the way, as you can see, I love to write and read... and talk :P) I have to refrain from doing so because I have to eat dinner. All in all, I think mice and me are altogether very much alike. Thank you very much for taking your precious little time to read my most humble letter.
Of the few animals I know of, I think I would be a rat because I like to run around, climb up things, and then jump off. Also I try to be friendly and I hear that rats are very friendly. I will eat almost anything, a wheel seems so amusing to me (because you can run strait forward forever and never get anywhere), and sometimes I bite. These are all characteristics of a rat! Weird. My first animal of choice was a possum, but I upgraded myself to a rat when I found a possum in our garbage bin tonight.
I accidently removed my comment so I'm going to copy and paste it. Sorry......
If I had to choose what kind of animal I am I would probably be a monkey. I really love monkeys and I would really like to be one for a day or something. My friends and I always act like we're monkeys so I guess a monkey would be the closest one to me. I also like bananas so I think that would be one reason for why I could be a monkey. Finally I feel like I could be close to a monkey because I am very good at the "monkey bars" and I could peal my banana with my mouth, not that I always do it I only tried it once in my life, and it wasn't very comfortable so I'm never going to peal a banana with my mouth again. That is the animal I would probably choose if I had to.
