I love animals and everything, but I don’t think they have the mental capacity to plot an actual attack, or even get in such mass amounts like the birds did in the book. c. I think that the message is that people need to be more sensitive about the natural world. In the beginning, it seems like Nat is the only one concerned about the bird in terms of why they are behaving like so. The people who disregarded the birds and stayed outside ended up getting killed. This shows that we should pay more attention to the ways we are affecting nature.
Falcon trainers often do this to their birds until they begin to depend on their trainer. Another example from the story that helps with the compression is when Petruchio rewards Kate with food and clothes. By doing this, Petruchio is teasing her with things she wants. Falcon trainers do this exact same thing to their birds as they begin to rely on their trainer because it wants the rewards available. Instead of training Kate to hunt like a falcon, Petruchio trained her to love and serve him.

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.
Moving through the novel it becomes obvious that Milkman has trouble finding his own identity. Milkman's journey to find his wings becomes the center point of the novel and we find many obstacles holding him down along the way including his own father, his materialistic values, his relationships with Hagar and Guitar and his own apathy. In this passage, Milkman and Guitar are discussing how they are going to steal Pilates gold and start new lives, each with their own different motives; then this white peacock appears out of nowhere sitting on a rooftop. The two chase after the peacock attempting to capture it, but fail. Milkman asks Guitar why the peacock won't just fly away, instead of running in circles and Guitar responds talking about its tail.
Going in grand detail of how this insects life should be lived, comparing a moth to a butterfly. Unfortunately this moth does not get to live its life with as much tenacity as a butterfly, “He flew vigorously to one corner of his compartment, and, after waiting there a second, flew across to the other.

A.P. Literature 10 August 2011 In “Roosting Hawk” and “Golden Retrievals,” the speakers portray the world through there own perspective.
