The migration of the ducks is most likely a symbol for Holden’s trauma from the death of his little brother, Allie, and to a lesser extent, the suicide of his old classmate, James Castle. The ducks always come back from migration, symbolizing that the trauma is only temporary. The ducks can also be understood in a different way: when the harsh winter comes, the ducks leave for somewhere warmer, and more hospitable. Holden is looking for a safe haven from the harsh and nasty world he lives in, and he wonders where he should go. No matter how it is interpreted, this symbol gives the reader a better understanding of Holden and how he thinks.
By adding sensory images into his writing, bringing the essay to life; allowing the readers to feel like they are at the time, place and feel the emotions he felt. An example of the use of sensory images in Once More to the Lake is, “ I remembered being very careful never to rub my paddle against the gunwale for fear of disturbing the stillness of the cathedral.” The use of sensory image in this sentence allows for the readers to feel the stillness and peacefulness he feels when he’s at the lake. In Death of a Pig, “In the upset position the corners of his mouth had been turned down, giving him a frowning expression which was shaded by their coy little lashes, turned on me in disgust and hatred.” This sentence shows the use of personification and sensory images by adding human like characteristics to the pig, thus making the readers connect more to the story and feel sympathy for it. All in all, through the use of sensory
Throughout the story the father has a lot of flashbacks, and his memory's come to life within his son. As he see's his son exploring the fun activities to do on and around the lake, he cant help but see a spiting image of himself as a young boy. E.B. White shows "limitations imposed by time" in the story by the father seeing his young son doing the things he too once did such things before, he cannot do them again because of time. The father has grown be a man, he can no longer jump around and act like a kid again in the lake, for he has lost his young innocence that all children bare.
You’ve made a big heap haven’t you?” Jack pointed suddenly. “His specs- use them as burning glasses!” (Page 40) As we see in the beginning of the story, Piggy becomes an impact on someone’s life.

When Piggy dies, Ralph feels like a part of him is missing when he makes decisions and creates thoughts.
Our Face: In The Face Of Death Personal desire will ultimately supersede the desire to conform when faced with a life changing or life threatening situation. In T. Coraghessan Boyle’s short story “Greasy Lake”, this idea is best represented by the narrator and the characters of Digby and Jeff. They prove this point by their acts of conforming to fit in with each other, denying to conform with their parents, making the same mistakes as each other, and ultimately deciding on the lifestyle they want to live. In “Greasy Lake”, the protagonist character known only as the narrator presents a detailed account of the lifestyle he lives alongside his two friends: Digby and Jeff. Initially, he describes the three of them as “bad” characters, while giving an ironically un-bad description of the activities that entice them.
In the second paragraph, the author started to wonder “the tarred road would have found it out”. Turn to look the forth paragraph, he said “I was right about the tar: if led to within half a mile of the shore.”, which seems to make him somewhat upset. Then he realized the lake was almost the same as before. We could perceive the delight in his heart by the three words “I knew it”, and the following long poetic sentence described his old memory. In the seventh paragraph, even the changed of track road bothered him.
Arthur continues to speak about how he will come to rule again. “I perish by this people which I made through Merlin sware that I should come again to rule once more-but let what will be” (896) This quote expresses bravery because Arthur is on his death bed and he is thinking about how he is going to come back and rule rather than wallowing about the fact that he is going pass away soon. Another example of bravery in the selection is when Arthur decides to trust Sir Benivere with the task of giving Excalibur to the Lady of the Lake. The act of being faithful to a private person, to whom fidelity is due, is the definition of loyalty. Loyalty was portrayed by Sir Benivere in the story when he is asked to throw Excalibur into the lake “Yet I thy hest will all perform at full, watch what I see, and lightly bring thee word” pg.
Nature’s beauty also has the power over Frankenstein to evoke strong emotions. After the murder of his brother William, Frankenstein returns to his home in Geneva.
