Number of dogs whose names end in diminutive -ee: 9
The
Instructor Says:
Wow, that certainly is an interesting analysis of dog names.
But I don't believe you included a thesis statement in this essay, and
therefore you get a zero.
Better luck next time!
MONICA'S SECOND ATTEMPT
Dog names. They reveal so much about us. How we feel inside,
how we live, and how we die. Yes, DOG NAMES. They are as varied and
as beautiful as we ... I mean, as our dogs are. In this essay, I will illustrate
just how the multitudinous varieties of dog names has enriched our understanding
of the canine world, and yes, of our own world and our very lives, in the multitudinous
beauty and the efficacy of our forever straining souls for the ideal of the beautiful,
the perfect, and yes, the down-right good.
If you have read my previous work on this subject, you are perfectly aware that the
diminutive -ee is a common ending for dog appellations of all kinds. This
will not do. As dogs are our friends, and one might even say, signifiers of
our more simple selves, such deliberate chicanery and pompous foolishness must be ended.
The only truism which we grasp of the canine world, is that a dog's gastronomic rapacity
knows no satiety. Obviously, the vowel sound -ee does not properly grasp the significance
of this great canine reality. Any attempt to render dogs “cute” or “cuddly” is miching
mallecho, and means mischief.
