Hello everyone, i had just started school, and my teacher wanted me to compare one of classmates(who is a girl), to pigs. I need to write a 2 page essay 1.5 spaces. It can be no less than 2 pages, or I get points off. Does anyone know how I would go about doing that. I'm not asking for an essay, just ideas. Thank you all so much..

How do you compare a pig to a human?

Verified answer

weeeeelll okay why not do it systematically like different paragraphs: Nervous system describe the differences... i don't really know them, maybe say stuff like humans have a bigger brain, etc.

circulatory system: actually i think they must be quite similar because when i went to md camp (for high school students or recent grads who want to go to medical school) we got to go to the cadavers lab but we got to look at pig hearts i guess that's how they study hearts (that aren't all gray and ugly)

digestive system differences... uhh well cows have several "stomachs" and some animals have special parts of the intestine... i dunno about pigs.

differences in skin..

also do differences in body structure, like bone structure... pigs have snouts and a curly tail and hooves while we have (relatively) flat faces, no tail, and hands and feet.

maybe you could even talk about the reproduction and stuff... like pigs will have a whole litter of kids and they have rows of nipples and they all nurse, and they can have a runt, etc. while we only have one or two normally. i dunno.

I would be very concerned with any teacher who would allow a paper to be written on any person to be compared to a pig. Say for example the girl in question has a low self esteem about her weight, and the teacher assigns a paper like this and asks you to compare her to a pig. This would seriously do more harm then good and I would take serious issue with this.

I would take this up with your parents and principle and ask if this is a good exercise to be doing, comparing any person to an animal.

If the paper still has to be done, i would say that pigs are one of the most intelligent animals out there. (Seriously they have the intelligence of a three year old.) and I would also say that in some cultures a pig is worshiped as a God and not to be sacrificed in any way shape or form.

On a personal level, i love Bacon and am a chauvinist pig. ;-)
