Not only that, but Blake here uses the word 'fearful' comparing again the tiger to nature, who's perfect balance could be described as symmetry. In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand dare seize the fire? The first two lines, Blake tells of a profound passion burning deep with the eyes of the tiger bringing to mind the tiger's life and even its very spirit.
These incredible animals were first declared game in 1950 because they were thought to be a threat to people and livestock. It's hard to believe but at the beginning of the 20th century, there were over 500 of these animals roaming around. Many factors contribute to why these animals have become endangered. Catfights, automobile collisions, illegal hunting, mercury poisoning, and disease are just part of it. Catfights mainly happen when two cats are fighting for territory.
The mountain lion is a large cat that is also known as a cougar, panther, yellow cat, puma, and several other names (Danz, 1999, p.13). Shoulder heights average around 30 inches and length is approximately eight feet (“Mountain Lion”, 2014). The tail is about one-third of the entire body length and these cats typically weigh between 75 and 175 pounds (“Mountain Lion”, 2014). However, the largest mountain lion weighed 276 pounds and was killed near Hillside, Arizona (Danz, 1999, p.44). The legs of the cat are very muscular and the back legs are much longer than the front, allowing the cats to increase their leaping abilities (Knight, 2005).
They are also known to eat farm animals if they have to. Sometimes they will eat cattle straight from farmland. Fortunately, the Florida Panther is at the top of the food chain with very few natural predators. Their only real predators are adult alligators, which have been known to sometimes ambush the Florida Panther, and human beings. Humans are one of the main reasons that the Florida Panther is an endangered species.
The poem “The Tyger”, written by William Blake, is a poem that centers on evil’s ability in hiding behind a beautiful mask. Not only does the poet describe its physical characteristics, but shows confusion that occurs with such fear. Blake uses a questioning tone throughout the poem to exemplify his ideas and beliefs in the tiger’s origin and the reasons behind the creature’s physical appearances. In the first stanza, Blake shows the secrecy of the tiger by linking nature with its origin and its physical appearances. Blake makes this evident so that it’ll highlight the tiger’s eerie aura.

The Irony of Big Boy Leaves Home by Richard Wright In “Big Boy Leaves Home,” Richard Wright uses irony in the form of animal imagery to illustrate the lessons taught by Jim Crow. Jim Crow dehumanizes Blacks; it compares them to inhumane animals. To Jim Crow enforcers, Whites, comparing Blacks to animals justifies punishing them in vicious ways such as beatings, hangings and killings. Wright uses animal imagery to contradict the animal imagery Whites use to portray Blacks in the Jim Crow South. Wright shows how Blacks are at times forced to act like animals to fight for survival.
