The poem starts off with the speaker's very blunt observation, "A toad the power mower caught." Made the poem drastic and unemotional to the death of toad. The lack of sympathy is clearly recognisable as the first stanza continues on the description about the toad's injury and movements. Then as the toad, brings himself to the cineraria leaves, the speaker starts to use symbolism and starts to show some interest. That the toad was surrounded by "heartshaped leaves" and will die in this "final glade"(6).

Multimedia Mainstreams the Monsters “Like Kings writing the history of their people, it’s their prolific nature that both creates and procures what will later be perceived as the kingdom. So the real truth about Lady Gaga fans, my Little Monsters, lies in this sentiment: They are the Kings. They are the Queens. They write the history of the kingdom and I am something of a devoted Jester” (Manifesto of Little Monster, 2010). In her sermon for the Little Monster Manifesto, Lady Gaga declares that each Little Monster is a unique being and that she is merely a servant to her own followers.
They shaved him and his glorious mane. This we can relate to the Bible when Jesus is put on a cross where he was tortured until he finally died. Later Jesus was ressurrected just like Aslan was on the stone table. Another parallel is when Edmund comes into Narnia and is tempted by the White Witch. The White Witch is similar to the devil but the main parallel is how Edmund is tempted with Turkish Delight by The White Witch.
This strong species is a voracious predator of insects and other small prey. Cane toads possess the capability of poisoning their predators. The introduction of this species to Australia was directed as a form of biological control. Cane toads were supposedly a ‘solution’ to the pest beetles in the sugar cane industry in 1935, before the use of agricultural chemicals became widespread. Although this ‘solution’ failed in its attempts to control the issue, cane toads were very successful at invading the ecosystems of Australia’s north.
This links in with the fact that she is a serpent and all the negative connotations associated with being a serpent, which leads back to the Bible, to the fall of Adam and Eve, where the serpent tempts Eve to take the apple from the Garden of Eden. There is also a clear suggestion that she puts Lycius under a magic spell more than once. When he first meets her and swoons, he is awakened by her kiss “from one trance ... Into another” (Part 1, line 296-7) and she also puts Lycius into a spell “Of deep sleep in a moment he was betray’d” (Part 2, line 105). This shows that she is in complete power and that she is manipulating the situation by using her supernatural gifts to
Whare'er that place be priests ca' Hell, Whare a' the tones o' misery yell, An' ranked plagues their numbers tell In dreadfu' raw, Thou, Toothache, surely bear'st the bell Amang them a'! O thou grim, mischief-making chiel, That gars the notes o' discord squeel Till humankind aft dance a reel In gore a shoe-thick, Gie a' the faes o' Scotland's weal A towmond's toothache. What a great idea, a poem addressed to Toothache. I can only imagine what 18th Century Toothache would be like. No novocaine then!
Cane toadis known as a ground-dwelling predator where it relies on the aquatic and terrestrial insects and snails as its food. Moreover, these toads take the food left out for other pets. Cane toads are the victim of accidental movement by the pot plants or loads of timber. More important is the impact of these toads to the environment that they survive in. Cane toad protects itself through poison where it has varying degrees of poison depending on the stage of life that it is
At the start of “Bullfrog” the speaker is reflecting youth and this is symbolised through Hughes’ anthropomorphic application to the strength of the frog’s legs “To thump upon double-bass strings” (Muldoon, 1997, p42), frogs don’t play the double bass so this metaphor alludes to the strength of youth. “This sort of comparison is properly called anthropomorphism, where human attributes are ascribed to something inhuman” (Brown, R D, Reputations (2014), p 44). Both poets also use simile as a device to represent frogs in terms of emotions. “A simile is a formal comparison which uses words such as “like” or “as” to connect one thing with another” (Brown, R D, Tradition and Dissent (2014), p 44).

2.7) – is covered in small bumps and spines, (Raxworthy, 2007), which along with it’s brown/green colouration allows it to blend perfectly into it’s mossy surroundings. These frogs can be found in very moist areas which have bountiful areas of thick moss such as “flooded caves and banks of mountain streams”, (Raxworthy, 2007). Several other species of frog also use camouflage as a form of defence. The Pacific Tree Frog (Hyla regilla) has developed the ability to change it’s skin colour. They are able to change in green and brown patterns in only a matter of minutes.
