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
The horsefly does that by swinging its tail to prevent the bugs from coming closer. The flapenguin gives the horsefly a shelter by letting it live on its body. The flapenguin doesn’t do it on purpose because the horsefly is too small for the flapenguin to see it. * If the horsefly were to become extinct, then the flapenguin would encounter more diseases. The horsefly is the one that keeps most of the disease carrying bugs off the flapenguin.
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.
The metaphor used in this instance, is also similar to the simile used in the line since they suggest that ‘birds of prey’ are easily comparable to many ideas or themes. Similarly, in Act 3 Scene 2, Juliet describes Romeo as a ‘dove-feathered raven’, which is similar to the image in the poem of the ‘birds of prey’ being ‘am’rous’. The ‘dove’ is often a symbol of ‘love’, while the ‘raven’ is seen to be deceitful. These quotations are both oxymoronic and both refer to ‘birds of prey’ being affectionate as well as vicious. The simile in the poem compares ‘birds of prey’ to ‘time’, which would prefer to run quickly than to ‘languish in his slow chapp’d power’.
The diamondback rattlesnake has infrared vision which helps it sense heat from warm-blooded prey as well as sense the danger of other predators. The diamondback shares many organs similar to humans especially when it relates to their digestive system. On the other hand, the diamondback has physical traits that aids in their adaptation to searching for food supply. Since the diamondback is part of the venomous family, it uses this trait to immobilize its prey and helps it conserve energy during the hunting process. Nevertheless, it is important to understand the adaptation patterns of the diamondback rattlesnake as this knowledge can lower the risk of a person coming into contact with this dangerous
The latest simulators for the F-22 and F-35 have highly developed tools that help in the training of pilots on tasks such as air-to-air combat, v visual identification, offensive/defensive basic flight maneuvers (O/D BFM) and aerial refueling. Whereas some pilots have cited the existence of some element of mismatch between what simulators teach and the actual field experience, the simulator developed for the F-22 and the F-35 has attracted the endorsement of pilots who argue that the advanced simulator is significantly closer to actual field experience than that of legacy training systems (Sepanski, & Killingsworth,
By keeping the chickens living conditions in immaculate condition they can better control this disease. They will also be able to identify the birds infected with this disease and remove them from contaminating other birds. The last thing a chicken coop can do for Chick-fil-A is turn their competition into an opportunity. By owning their own coop they can develop a partnership with their competitors. They then will be able to sell healthier and safer poultry to all of their competitors.
DuMaurier relies heavily on sensory imagery to convey the attack of the birds. In the movie, Melanie hears a brief fluttering of the birds, which attracts her attention. Melanie’s only source of light is her flashlight. Hitchcock uses high angle shots of Melanie ascending the stairs and a low angle shots of the door, to show that the door as having power over
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
Michellae Brown Ms. Horton AP Lit. And Comp. Rhetorical Essay (Final) The beauty of birds in flight is all in the eye of the beholder. Two experiences of bird watching by Audubon and Dillard differ, one is objectively descriptive while the other is poetic in nature. In Audubon’s essay, he uses “objective” diction to create impartial and precise aspects of the birds in flock, with words such as “extreme beauty” and “immense legions.” He uses words such as these to not compare the birds to actual life, but to describe the image he sees and how it makes him feel.
