As a reader that is heart wrenching because I think of beagles as cute little animals and then the thought of them burning in an oven is just horrific but that is Hamilton’s intent. For one she is warning you of what you are about to read but as well as describing how her experience has made it easier as a chef to kill these animals for food. I believe that experience helped her pursue a career as a chef. Hamilton also considers her audience as any reader to give not only a value of what she went through but also the life and death of a chicken. “Killing Dinner” caught my attention by the articles first sentence: “It’s quite something to go barehanded up through a chicken’s ass and dislodge its warm guts,” because it is so blunt therefore I knew the article would be interesting.
James Hurst’s short story, “The Scarlet Ibis” evokes memories from Hurt’s childhood and the events leading to the death of his malformed, younger brother as a result of being pushed past his natural limit. Hurst expresses his ideas of the tragedy and miracles pride can emit by stating “that pride is a terrible, wonderful thing, a seed that bears two vines, life and death.” (Hurst 347). The narrator’s constant shame of his deformed sibling causes him to act on selfish impulse; the result of these actions creates the contrast between phenomenon and tragedy. Pride holds the power to cloud judgment, awaken cruelty, and unlock selfishness but it also entails a type of influence that can create miracles. During one of the boys’ visits to Old Woman Swamp, the narrator shows Doodle the “mahogany box” that was made for Doodle to be buried in and tells him that “ ‘before [he helps him] down from the loft [Doodle is] going to have to touch it’ ” or “ ‘[He will] leave [him] by [himself]’ ”, demonstrating the narrator’s feeling of dominance over his crippled sibling.

This paranoia in which he has, emphasizes the immense guilt following him. “...my sweet tooth gleaming and the juice of guilt wetting my underarms.” Although Soto clearly knows the difference between right and wrong, he is so highly tempted by the sweet smelling pies that he very badly desires, causing him to break down in a nervous sweat. The sweating of the underarms alone is lucid indication of his extreme guilt. Soto recognized the shadows of angels distancing themselves from him, but in the end Gary Soto's temptation overcame his innocence with every bite of the sweet
This is an example of how savage the boys had truly become. The turpitude that the boys possessed during this hunt shows how the evil in them had taken oven. Later, Jack told the boys that they would offer the head as a sacrifice to the beast of the island. He told them to "sharpen a stick at both ends...as he stood up, holding the dripping sow's head in his hands... and jammed the soft throat down on the pointed end of the stick" (Golding, 126). The ability of Jack to perform this atrocious act shows his complete digression from propriety to absolute
They start talking about Beatrice and Benedick and how much she is in love with him, knowing that Benedick would be eavesdropping. They use metaphorical diction as Claudio states, ‘bait the hook well, this fish will bite.’ Meaning that Benedick will fall for their trickery if they keep up their chatter about Beatrice. Claudio’s diction is then exaggerated when he describes Beatrice when she ‘beats her heart’ and ‘cries “sweet benedick”.’ After Claudio, Don Pedro and Leonato Leave. Benedick’s diction is very clear to show that he is very passionate about Beatrice, proving that he has been deceived but doesn’t realise it. The use of high modality diction in the phrase ‘No!
The theme of the loss of innocence is first exhibited when the boys in the novel are encountered with the task of killing a pig and they begin to paint their faces to keep themselves hidden from their prey. The pig’s ultimate symbolism begins to show from this moment onwards in the novel. As they attempt to capture the pig, they are apprehensive when it comes to killing the pig, but as they build courage they also begin feeding their irrepressible, barbaric nature. As they finally seize their first pig, they introduce their incantation, “Kill the pig[…] Cut her throat […] Spill her blood”, which is in essence blood thirsty and terrifying. (Golding 69) Though he chant may have been born out of their frustration of constantly being eluded by the swine and finally being successful, as time goes on the chant becomes more of tradition when they take an animal’s life.

It is characterized as a form of justice, seeking or taking vengeance for oneself or another person by retaliating in response to a grievance. Within the short declaration "Of Revenge" by Francis Bacon he describes the self-destructive nature and the injustices that revenge brings about while detailing the benefits of forgiveness. While "He Becomes Deeply and Famously Drunk" by Brady Udall's story explores the concept of revenge as Archie contemplates killing his father's murderer until realizing the elderly man Calf red Pulsipher is not worth the effort and lets go of his anger. From the short story "Spanish Roulette" by Ed Vega the poet Sixto vows revenge against a local gang member who raped his sister and battles with himself to make the right choice.
