The first significant trait of Ultima’s owl is being able to comfort Antonio when Ultima is not there. One way is by singing at night to comfort Antonio and his family. The first night Ultima stayed with them Antonio recognized the owl in which, “It’s soft hooting was like a song….seemed to say that it had come to watch over us.”(13) That same night Antonio had a dream in which the Virgin smiled at the owl’s goodness. Another way the owl comforted Antonio was during a walk home after Lupito’s death in which the owl had seen throughout the night. As he walked it sang, and “Ultima’s spirit bathed me with its strong resolution.” (23) During rough times the owl sung to help Antonio and his family deal with such tragic incidents.
It also has a habit of collecting odds and ends and then laying them out around the entrance to its burrow. Weasels, ferrets, snakes and skunks are enemies of the Burrowing Owls and will go after the young owls as food. Burrowing Owls will imitate a rattlesnake's buzz to try to keep enemies away. Snowy Owl This owl lives in the Arctic areas of North America. It has adapted to the long summer days and long winter nights of its home, and can hunt well at any time of the day.
I was given this from my own grandfather, named Obsidian Raven. He was named after the little baby raven who first noticed that he was black. In honor of this tradition, I now give these feathers to you in hopes that you will keep alive the story of how ravens became black,” spoke Painted Raven with a smile. In that moment his eyes shone like a rainbow, and Sacred Meadows knew that he would continue telling the story in honor of his grandfather. “I will grandfather, and,” he reassured, “I will tell any and all that will listen to try and make the tribe see that the raven is not cursed.” “Thank you Sacred Meadows.
TH270 Unit 5 Assignment Burrowing owls are normally active during the day and sometimes active during the nights ("Fact sheet burrowing," 2012). The live underground in burrows dug up by mammals such as, squirrels and prairie dogs ("Fact sheet burrowing," 2012).

Along her journey through the woods, she meets a wolf, who asks where she is going and why. Red tells him exactly where grandmother lives. He, the wolf, then tells Red that he would go too, but he would go another way and see who gets the first. The wolf arrives first, and fooled the grandmother into thinking it was Little Red Riding Hood at the door. She allows him entrance and he immediately eats her for he is hungry.
Supremely adapted to a nocturnal existence, owls have been silent observers of the night for thousands of years. To humans, these stealthy raptors have served variously as symbols of wisdom, darkness, and even disgrace, perceptions shaped largely by the unknowns of owls’ secretive existence. But we now have a comparatively good understanding of owl behavior and ecology, such that these creatures, rather than being veiled by mystery, have emerged as fun and interesting subjects of biology. Owls come in all sizes, from the tiny elf owl and least pygmy owl, both of which measure a mere five or six inches in length, to the large barn owls and the great gray owl, the latter of which can reach lengths of more than two feet. Owls occupy habitats from grasslands and tundra to dense tropical rainforests.
We can infer from this first stanza that even though we, humans use night to rest, and consider night a time of silence, a lot of things are going on from Mother Nature while we rest every day. For the second stanza, which is written in first person, the use of the term “we” reveals the author’s presence in the scene, and can be referring to either campers or humans as a whole. In this stanza she also explains how campers protect themselves from the night by lighting fire. It also reveals the scary moment they are going through. Since they can only sensor the noises produce by animals, because the darkness is preventing them from seeing what is going on around, the use of figurative language makes readers be part of the campers.

The Signet Classics edition of The Phantom of the Opera was published by Signet Classics on November 1987. It has 264 pages and no pictures. “In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came, that voice which calls to me and speaks my name...” This is what Christine Daae had to say about the ever famous Phantom of the Opera. Christine, one of the main characters in the book, was a young girl who was a singer for the opera where the “ghost” dwelled. She grew up in the countryside and was taught by her father how to sing and love music.
In the prelude, Lear is speaking of the life that he and Cordelia will have in prison, and how peaceful it will be when he says ‘No, no, no, no! Come, let’s away to prison…We two alone will sing like birds i’th cage.’ Here, Shakespeare is trying to show the contrast between this scene and the other in which Cordelia has died. Shakespeare questions Lear’s state of mind here. It’s as if he’s in a hurry to spend time with Cordelia. Shakespeare usually uses negative animal imagery, but this is the most pleasant imagery using animals in the entire play, compared to ‘pelican daughters (referring to Goneril and Regan) and ‘Howl, howl, howl!’ (Act VI Scene 3, L-256) when Cordelia dies, this is what Lear shouts.
