The use of similes also gives the reader a clearer image of what this may have looked like by giving them objects to compare each aspect of the birds to. For example Dillard compares the motion of the birds as a group to “whirling like smoke” and the sound of the birds flying by to the sound of “a million shook rugs.” Dillard also uses personification in the last paragraph to describe her reaction to the bird’s flight. The expression “my lungs roared,” uses personification to describe how she felt blown away and was left breathless by the unexpected beauty of the flock of starlings flying
Birds Essay John James Audubon, author of Ornithological Biographies, conveys his outlook on a flock of birds that surrounds him overhead; in comparison, Annie Dillard, author of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, intimates her deepest thoughts on this wonder. In light of this, each author dissimilarly conveys an intense affection for birds; Audubon asserts a scientific and objective approach, whereas Dillard provides a more spiritual and less objective perspective. Although both authors love birds, their viewpoints differ on a magnified level. Taking a scientific approach on the subject, Audubon views the sky as “filled with pigeons... the light of noonday was obscured as by an eclipse...” (16-17). Providing figurative language, Audubon compares the darkness of a group of pigeons to a rare scientific phenomenon that only an intellectual might consider.
The voices are set up as to where I hear it clearly, you can hear the elegance and the sophistication. Madrigals on the other hand, when I clicked the Weelkes: As Vesta Was From Latmos Hill Descending track the tones fluctuate consistently compared to Ave Maria, Gratia Plena and it indeed was very noticeable. I then listened to Song Of The Birds (Chant Des Oiseaux) and thought jellybeans. I thought jellybeans because the voices and sounds and beats were all over the place. The texture and sounds were colorful, when the lady sang I saw greens and at the end a semi blue.
a. I believe that Cofer is playing with the stereotype and, ultimately, creating a paradox for the reader. This is because when Cofer explains that Latinas prefer vivid colors but like them because they reflect the landscape they live upon. By doing this he creates a statement that may seem contradictory to the overall serotype but in reality he is creating a paradox with the true statement and making it seem false. He does this to persuade the reader that the reasons Latinas like vivid colors is because it relates to their homelands and describes their culture the best. In all Cofer’s rewording helped the audience better understand why Latinas love their, vivid like, colors.
The Biodiversity of Pollinating Bees, Hymenoptera Apoidea, and Their Importance in Conservation Ally Giguere, Conservation Biology, James Cook University Cairns, Australia May 16th, 2008 __________________________________________________________ Introduction: Bees (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) are responsible for 85% of flower pollination in both North America and Central Europe (Muller et. al 2005). They collect pollen on hairs on their hind legs (Kearns et. al 1998) which they then use to create a nectar substance which acts as food for their brooding larvae. The pollen which remains on their hind legs is transferred from flower to flower, allowing pollination of the flowers.
Lucas’ vision of this painting defined his interests in the human body. The painting displayed humanism, realism, and complimented the artwork by flattering Venus in a beautiful necklace completed with stones or a heavy velvet hat. Also, accentuating her figure with her almond-shaped eyes. Lucas proposed the lighting in the frame of artwork to draw the eye to the painting instead of keeping away attraction of nudity. He displayed winged Cupid holding a bee hive he stole as a source of pain with the dark, blackened background behind him, along with the tree he took the hive
In descriptive passages, Audubon and Dillard both describe large flocks of birds in flight, Dillard artistically pondering how exhilarating and beautiful these creatures are while Audubon observes them scientifically taking note as they fly over him. Dillard uses an artistic approach to her observations, describing the flying birds a “flight extended like a fluttering banner, an unfurled oriflamme”. Her metaphors constructs to her artistic point of view and letting on know she is taking this sight as a spiritual experience rather then a scientific observation. Dillard gives the birds an overview like if they were magnificent creatures and appreciating a simple pleasure one may take for granted. She ends the passage describing
Another, smaller yet significant object in this scene would be the two little birds right beside the lamp near Marion, one of the birds is white while the other is black. The black bird is slightly bigger and overtaking the white bird. This could suggest, just as Marion is in the light spotlight and Norman in the darker area, that Norman is the dominant character in this scene. The use of sound and music is also usually a big factor for the use of mise en scene. Even though there
Pheromones are also used in attracting a mate. These chemicals, called sex pheromones are released into the air, usually by the female, and are detected by males of the same species. The males follow in the direction from which the pheromone came leading them to the female. The sex pheromone released by the female gypsy moth can be detected by males at very low concentrations (one molecule of pheromone per 10 17 molecules of air), while the sex pheromone of the female silkworm moth can be detected from several miles away. Although pheromones released into the air are distributed over large areas and travel great distances, for some animals air-borne pheromones aren’t always an ideal means of communication.
He appeal to the emotion of sympathy for the bird as she tirelessly soar and wait for the captured. This shows that the birds have emotion and real connection for each other unlike anything a machine can have. This emotional connection between the birds is what makes machines different from real life. With ethos, Eiseley is able to showcase how birds possess emotion and how important that emotion. Eiseley uses juxtaposition in order to help show the differences between life and machine.
