- 5. EXAMPLE OF AN INTRODUCTION OF A RESEARCH ESSAY Over the past 30 years, researchers have demonstrated that the great apes (chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans) resemble humans in language abilities more than had been thought possible. Just how far that resemblance extends, however, has been a matter of some controversy. Researchers agree that the apes have acquired fairly large vocabularies in American Sign Language and in artificial languages, but they have drawn quite different conclusions in addressing the following questions: 1. How spontaneously have apes used language? 2. How creatively have apes used language? 3. Can apes create sentences? 4. What are the implications of the ape language studies? This review of the literature on apes and language focuses on these four questions. http://www.dianahacker.com/pdfs/hacker- shaw-apa.pdf

Having a pet also means lots of responsibilities. A child has to feed, clean up after, brush, and exercise the pet. Another great advantage of having a pet from the pound is the price of them. Pets from the pound cost only a few dollars while pets at a pet store can cost hundreds of dollars. Once you adopt a pet from the Animal Rescue , it will quickly become a part of your family.
