John James Audubon and Annie Dillard both wrote short passages describing large flocks of birds using vivid imagery and descriptive diction to convey the effect that the flocks had on them as an observer. Both passages have an awed and laudatory tone since the writers seem to be enchanted by the beauty o the birds. While Audubon gives a literal description of what he saw, Dillard describes the birds through the extensive use of figurative language. The descriptive diction in both passages serves to give the reader a mental image of what the writer saw as the birds flew by. Audubon uses phrases like “countless multitudes” and “immense legions” to describe the large amount of birds that he watched fill the sky.
Even though he had nose bleeds and looked pale in the end, the pride of the mother over Jerry’s ability to take care of himself prevented her from noticing anything being out of the ordinary. The mother was able to gain trust over Jerry and that helped make her a better mother. By having more trust on her son she was able to let him explore and learn more about himself and things around him. Instead of having him not learn anything in a safe environment which she would not be able to keep him in forever, he was able to learn a lesson about reaching goals in
Zacharias used this line to catch the reader’s attention, which also plays into her chosen arrangement for this piece, and to get some sort of emotion out of the reader. I first read this line and was instantly confused; between the first line and the title, any reader would be. It made me want to continue only to hear about her father, and continuing to read, I found out she photographs buzzards and had learned quite a bit about them. She includes random facts and information about these birds, which shows an emotional connection she has with them. These complex birds help her understand her father and his complex ways.
(www.Cliffnotes.com) Although Fitzgerald makes her despite being beautiful and charming, Daisy’s very selfish, shallow and a mean person. Moreover, Daisy truthfully married tom for his money and didn’t care what he did, unless and so long as he could continue to buy her anything she wanted. Daisy also would hope that her child was a girl, so that she’d be like her and survived the way she did “And I hope she’ll be a fool-that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.”. (Pg. 17 Scott Fitzgerald ;) Daisy was implying that the best way a female was to survive in this world was to be attractive and not do anything with her life, and sit back and let money buy her happiness.
Kate also believed that education was the key to success in life, she valued learning and this was because of Matt’s influence on her. She believed that nothing should get in the way of one’s education, she was so determined to succeed and she didn’t allow her relationship with Daniel to get in the way. Changes were seen in Kate as she yearned to leave Crow Lake a small town to a large city with no intentions of coming back. Her strong love for her siblings gradually diminished, she was embarrassed by them when they came for her graduation and the great
She believes that I can never lie to her, I can never do anything wrong behind her back. Eventually, it is true. I never lie to her except this kind of minor lies. Sometimes, I think by myself that I’m doing a wrong thing. Somehow, I’m breaking her trust, but at least I’m not doing anything that can bring shame for my family or offend my parents.
The poem ‘Nettles’ by Scannel explores the ways in which a parent is protective towards their child and doesn’t want to see them get hurt so they will do anything in their power to protect them, however they cannot always be protected and soon they will be hurt. The poem ‘Born yesterday’ by Amis explores the ways in which the speaker is wishing an unborn baby girl the best in life and how he doesn’t expect her to be perfect, and she ‘may be ordinary’. These two poems go well together because they are both based on a realistic view on life, they both show the way people will shield their loved ones from the unseen pain and unhappiness of the unknown future. The line “My son would often feel sharp wounds again” from ‘Nettles’ shows that no matter how much a parent tries to protect their child they will get hurt. This is also portrayed in ‘Born yesterday’ when it says “tightly-folded bud” this indicates that although the child may be young and unable to defend for herself her loved ones will try and protect her, however soon they won’t be there to protect her and she will be left to defend for herself.

We can see that she feels guilty because she had already promised Maggie the quilt but as she feels that Dee is superior than her she also wants her to keep just to probably not having an argument with her.We Her word choice gave me the image that she might even be a little scared of her daughters Dee knowledge. While with Maggie she seems to feel equal and probably favors her in the way that she knows that she won’t let her heritage down but most importantly she would very feel embarrassed of where she came from. As dee showed whenever she was younger and would never take friends over. If it was written in any other point of view we wouldn’t be able to sense all the emotional feelings that the narrator is able to transmit by writing in first person. It would be only as if they were trying to explain what another is feeling.
‘Maybe you better go along to your own house now. We don’t want no trouble’ this shows that the workers were cautious of being caught with Curley’s wife and sent her on her way to avoid conflict. Curley treasures his wife and if she were caught in any trouble, even if it was her fault, she’d be seen as innocent. Finally, Steinbeck also presents women as attractive and confident. The quotes ‘If he ain’t, I better look someplace else, she said playfully’ and ‘Hi, Good-lookin’.’ These show all the workers think Curley’s wife is attractive and she knows this, so she’s being confident with them.
