Engulfed An essay on The Wars by Timothy Findley Abby Bayat ENG 4U In Timothy Findley's novel, The Wars, every major event is subject to an element: fire, water, earth and air. These elements, brought to a philosophical stand point by the ancient Greek philosopher, Empedocles, help represent unsaid emotions and Robert Ross' journey. Each element has its own form of creation and destruction and gives a wonderful intake of everything around Robert Ross. Together, they also become a great force to be reckoned with as well. Earth, air, water and fire; the four elements that frame the world in every being, come together in a destructive way to challenge and ultimately engulf Robert Ross.

Chodea was a bear that roamed around the forests in Greece, so mighty that any warrior that dared to attack him was slaughtered within mere moments of the beginning of the fight. Chodea roared the mightiest of roars that could be heard from miles away, and was nearly deafening when heard close up. Chodea was basically the Floyd Mayweather of bears, as neither of them could read, and they were both undefeated in battle. Until one day, a glorious warrior decided to engage in battle with the great Chodea. This warriors name was Rollius.
Diomedes’ wrath exhibits the savage nature of war. The epitome of brutality, Diomedes “stormed over the plain like a raging winter torrent that sweeps away the dykes in its swift flood” (V: 84-85) wreaking havoc and ending the lives of many great warriors. Astynous and General Hypeiron he killed, striking one above the nipple with a throw of his bronze-tipped spear, the other with his long sword on the collarbone, shearing the shoulder from the neck and spine… Echemmon and Chromius were next... As a lion launches itself on a herd grazing some wooded pasture, and breaks the neck of a heifer or two, so Diomedes dragged those men roughly from their chariot… (V: 160-165) Mental anguish is

The beast struggles forward, broke the ring, and fell over the steep edge of the rock to the sand by the water. At once the crowd surged after it, poured down the rock, leapt on to the beast, screamed, struck, bit, tore. There were no words, and no movement but the tearing of teeth and claws.” (152-153) The group did not even give Simon a chance. They just automatically assumed that he was the beast even though he was pleading and screaming to tell them what he had just discovered. Simon was the nicest and most loyal one on the island and he did not deserve to die that
The conflicts among the animals and the humans included the defeat of Mr. Jones the head farmer, the bombing of the main farm windmill twice, and the death of Boxer the farm’s trusty cart-horse. The conflicts in the book would be Man vs Man, and Man vs Society. Boxer could have been described as the most sympathetic character in the novel, Boxer symbolized all of the best qualities: dedication, and loyalty. However boxer suffered a major weakness a naïve trust and an inability to recognize corruption. Animal Farm proved the quote because, in order to reach their dreams and paradise, the animals had to encounter death and major destruction around them.

"I don't think this will work," said the leopard. "Oh, yes it will," said the tiger.

The night of the fight came and the tiger and the leopard were very hungry because they hadn't gone out and done any hunting at all; they wanted to get the fight over as soon as possible and eat some of the freshly killed wild boars which all the animals would bring to the fight.
Just thinking about the skinning of an animal terrifies me, but it saddens me more to know that there are people in the world that can kill animals just for the profit that it can bring to them. When an animal is captured, it is put through unbelievable pain. It sometimes drives the animal to tear through its own flesh and bone, sometimes the animal even loose teeth because they bite on the trap. Sometimes the animals are left suffering for hours before the hunters show up to kill the animal by stumping on the animal. This type of animal cruelty is legal for people with a license to hunt, but for those who are not legalized hunters can face many years in prison and be fined thousands of dollars.
