Outline of my Object Anaylsis on Coyotes
In class last week we spent some time talking about our object analysis projects, where we take a picture or pictures of an object and discuss different parts of them in detail. While what we talk about has to come from the object, it doesn’t have to be directly in the picture. For example, one could have a picture of a maple tree, and use it to talk about the history of maple syrup. For our project, our objects had to relate to our research topic. I chose a coyote for my object (I know that’s not terribly creative).
I will be using this picture for three things. I am focusing on the collar to talk about the ways researchers track coyotes. I will use the one exposed leg to talk about the traps trappers use on coyotes. I will also be focusing on the lack of any coyote pups to talk about the reproduction cycle of coyotes.
I will also be using this picture of a coyote. I will focus on the coyote itself to talk about the resourcefulness of coyotes since this particular coyote is using a drink case to cool down. I will be focusing on the bottles to talk about coyote and human coexistence. By looking at the whole picture I can talk about specific cases of coyotes finding themselves in cities.

I’m still amazed that there are coyotes here in New Jersey. It’s a shame that hunters and trappers still enjoy killing these beautiful creatures – yet another fur that an ingnorant person can buy and wear to show off their wealth.
