A chimp called Congo outsold legendary artist Andy Warhol at an auction in London. A group of three of the ape’s paintings went for more than $25,000. Ruby the elephant sold more than $100,000 worth of her paintings. The proceeds went to the Phoenix Zoo, where she lived. Congo and Ruby were just two stars in a line of animal artists that continue to cash in on the art world’s hunger for fresh work. Some skeptics believe animal artists get too much help from their trainers, who provide supplies and perhaps make artistic choices. But many respected critics have been quick to come to the animal artists’ defense.

“After examining the artwork of different chimpanzees at a gallery in London, I can tell you that at least some of these animals possess a style,” says Benjamin Aaronson, art critic for the national magazine Art! “The colors they select and the strokes they apply show a definite flair and feeling.”

“All that praise hasn’t gone to the animals’ heads,” says zookeeper Katie Harper. “My apes love to paint, but they don’t pay attention to reviews from their human audience,” she observes. “And if it came to choosing between a paintbrush and a banana, there would be no contest!”

What type of writing is demonstrated in this excerpt by general philip henry sheridan? at once i set about preparing for the examination which precedes admission to the military academy, studying zealously under the direction of mr. william clark; my old teachers, mcnanly and thorn, having disappeared from somerset and sought new fields of usefulness. the intervening months passed rapidly away, and i fear that i did not make much progress, yet i thought i should be able to pass the preliminary examination. that which was to follow worried me more and gave me many sleepless nights; but these would have been less in number, i fully believe, had it not been for one specification of my, outfit which the circular that accompanied my appointment demanded. this requirement was a pair of "monroe shoes." now, out in ohio, what "monroe shoes" were was a mystery—not a shoemaker in my section having so much as an inkling of the construction of the perplexing things, until finally my eldest brother brought an idea of them from baltimore, when it was found that they were a familiar pattern under another name. a. research essay b. persuasive essay c. biography d. memoir
