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 Lesson of the Moth” In society today there are two main different types of people, the free spirited individuals and the conservative individuals. The free spirits believe to live in the moment and die doing something that makes them happy while the conservatives believe to live in routine and stick to “playing it safe”. In Don Marquis’s poem, “The Lesson of the Moth”, Don uses a moth and a cockroach, named Archy, to portray those two personalities. The poem dives deep into how people go about their lives, a touchy subject for some, and how they view each other. The poem starts off with Archy giving the reader the setting and an idea that the moth is suicidal, but the next stanza explains that the moth and the cockroach do not understand each other’s lives.
He speaks to an unseen “light-winged Dryad of the trees,” a nightingale, of feeling a “drowsy numbness” from sharing in the nightingales happiness because it is singing of summer while sitting hidden in a plot of trees and shadows. Continuing, in the second stanza, we hear the speaker speak of wanting alcohol, a “drop of vintage,” to allow him to fade away with the nightingale. Using alcohol as a way of escape, the speaker does not write as a drunk, but rather as someone who has been enlightened and is seeking joy by way of a “beaker full of the warm South.” In the song of the nightingale, the speaker hears a foreign joy, one created by beauty, which he wants to get into. He wants to “ Fade far away, dissolve and quite forget What thou among the leaves has never known.” (lines 21-22) To escape the worldly troubles the human life has, that are absent from the life of the nightingale he so wishes to follow. It is in the third stanza he realizes the world of the nightingale is very different from the world he was born into.
