    "Here inside of my second book, you will hear more stories from the gallery of my life. I am a special gentleman from Southern California living with disabilities - I was diagnosed with both cerebral palsy and scoliosis as a toddler. I am a writer who uses an augmentative alternative communication (AAC) device to speak. I wrote this sequel so that I could share more of my life with you, chronicling events from shortly after my high school graduation in 1991 all the way up to my 40th birthday in 2010. To fully appreciate my story, you'll need to read my first book "The Life of Alberto (Volume One)" so that you may follow my steps from the beginning. This second volume of my autobiography will take you through many of the humorous and memorable moments of my adult life. I am dedicating this book in loving memory of my father, Norm Baston. I hope that you find my experience as wonderful as I have. -Alberto Baston"

    The most common way we come to know animals is usually by rote learning the specific features that certain kind of animals have according to a textbooks. We learn that they are mammals, birds or fish; but at school we rarely mention that they have a personality of their own and even less do we analyze whether we treat them well or badly. Have you ever wondered how animals actually feel?
    Have you thought about how they are treated in our society?
    The Voice of Animals promotes reflection through critical thinking on different issues related to animal ethics. By raising questions it paves the way to analyze the most common themes that emerge in adolescence regarding the lives of animals, both free and captive.

    Douglas Green considers his late pound puppy—a knuckleheaded dog named Shirelle—to be the greatest teacher he's ever known. "If Shirelle were in a fancy restaurant," he writes, "she might climb onto someone's table and eat their food, but she would never, ever, insult the waiter." The Teachings of Shirelle is the hilarious and uplifting story of how this unique pooch taught her guardian to live life to the fullest. This touching ode to the human-animal connection offers a lighthearted, philosophical, psychological, and spiritual bounty of lessons gleaned from the simple-minded brilliance of an unforgettable teacher. These lessons are as relevant and valuable as ever, showing readers how to look at the world through eyes that are not their own. Eyes that, in this case, belong to a dog.

    Cats are mysterious, graceful creatures that have shared our homes and hearts for thousands of years. Yet, despite their close proximity, they often remain enigmatic to many of their human companions. Understanding your cat is not just about knowing their habits—it's about connecting with them on a deeper level by interpreting their unique personalities, behaviors, and subtle communication cues. 
    At first glance, a cat might seem aloof or independent, especially when compared to dogs. But this perceived distance is often misunderstood. Cats are incredibly social in their own way—they simply express affection, trust, and interest differently. For example, a cat that follows you from room to room, gently headbutts you, or slowly blinks in your direction is likely showing signs of attachment and comfort. These small behaviors are windows into your cat’s emotional world. 
    Body language is a vital tool in understanding what your cat is trying to communicate. A relaxed posture, with ears pointed forward and tail held high, generally means your cat is content and confident. On the other hand, a puffed-up tail, flattened ears, and dilated pupils may signal fear or overstimulation. Understanding these signs can help you respond to your cat’s needs and create a more harmonious home environment.

    ABOUT THE FILM 
    The Usual Suspects is a 1995 neo-noir thriller directed by Bryan Singer.

Kint narrates the story of how he and his crew were manipulated by a mysterious and legendary crime lord, Keyser Söze. As the investigation unfolds, the narrative is built through flashbacks, unreliable narration, and intricate plot twists. The movie explores themes of deception, criminal manipulation, and the blurred lines between truth and lies, keeping viewers on edge until the final moments. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “Christopher McQuarrie had previously worked for a detective agency, and this influenced the depiction of criminals and law enforcement officials in the script.” 
      
    “Benicio Del Toro's bizarre dialect in the film was reportedly so unintelligible that during one scene, Stephen Baldwin actually forgot his cue due to being unable to understand what Del Toro had said.” 
      
    “The part of Verbal Kint was always intended for actor Kevin Spacey.” 
      
    “The idea for this movie started only with the concept of a movie poster of five men in a lineup.” 
      
    “All the actors were encouraged to ad lib perplexed reactions to Benicio Del Toro's oddball vocal stylings.”
