There is a single symbol that encapsulates the majority of these notions throughout the entirety of the book: the bird, the bird in the house, the bird "caught between the two layers of glass" that so changes Vanessa's life. Birds make too frequent and deliberate an appearance throughout the collection of short stories to be mere haphazard additions to the background; instead, they, along with the images and concepts associated with them, serve to alert the aware reader to what Margaret Laurence, through older-Vanessa, through child-Vanessa, is trying to tell us. The birds, and their associated images, are central and representative of the novel as a whole.

The pigs, in the book Animal Farm, did not show leadership. I think this, because they didn’t have confidence to express themselves. They didn't show passion about their work.And they also didn’t show sympathy.Selena was a good leader, because she kept fighting for what she dreamed of. Unlike the pigs in Animal Farm, selena Quintanilla embodies the characteristics of a strong leader, because she has confidence, show symphony, and has passion for her work.

This quote symbolizes Jeannette’s realization of her situation. This quote comes after her visit to the hospital due to catching on fire.

These events, along with several others, contrast what Jeanette knows as everyday life. Tinkerbell is a toy she has always had and she was used to her normal face. However, Tinkerbell being burned changed her appearance, similar to how Jeannette being burned altered her mindset. Now Jeanette has knowledge of how others live and she can start to make comparisons to her home life that she had been oblivious to before. Her once picture perfect world has been changed

Many things can cause a person to be selfish, and it all depends on what he wants from his life. Success and money are main contributors that existed in Chaucer’s and the modern world.

Millions of years ago, humans evolved from primitive animals and transformed into complex, intellectually gifted homo sapiens. Humans today are a lot different than the creatures we originated from, however, homo sapiens still bear animalistic qualities of our earliest ancestors. These animal attributes are commonly expressed in literature. One famous literary example of animal stereotypes is the symbolic brilliance of Aesop’s Fables. The ancient Grecian story teller used animals with human properties to teach lessons about human character and behavior. Similarly, author Walter Mosley uses animals to describe the physical, mental, and emotional qualities of his characters. In the novel, Devil in a Blue Dress, Walter Mosley uses animal symbolism to portray characters Easy Rawlins, Mouse, and Daphne Monet.

In Richard Connell’s short story “The Most Dangerous Game,” the main character, Rainsford, develops from a ruthless and brutal attitude about hunting to a more sympathetic and understanding one due to the scarring experiences of being on the other end of the barrel. While on a hunting expedition to the dangerous Amazon Jungle, Rainsford, discusses with Whitney, his hunting partner, about whether or not animals, especially jaguars, have feelings. Although being a big-game hunter, Whitney suggests that their prey may have sentience, in which Rainsford retorts, “they’ve no understanding” and then goes about telling Whitney how “the world is made of two classes — the hunters and the huntees.” Whitney, being a foil character to portray Rainsford’s

A horrifying yet intriguing dichotomy exists in this world where man appears human but can internally transform into an animal. Notably, Lord of the Flies, written by William Golding, illuminates the animalistic savagery that engulfs man into bloodlust oblivion through Jack, the egotistical antagonist of the story. What may seem unsettling to the reader is the other stranded boys’ conforming behavior to Jack’s psychological deterioration. Similarly, in All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque, Paul Baumer and his fellow comrades encourage the loss of all humane sense and adoption of animal instincts to murder humans and survive in war. Both the boys stranded with Jack on the island and the comrades battling alongside Paul depict

“The Story of an Hour” Writing Assignment In Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour,” she argues that the joy of independence is crucial to one’s happiness. In this story, Chopin utilizes the different types of irony and symbolism to help explain how independence is the foundation to Mr. Mallard’s joy. After Mrs. Mallard welcomes her new freedom, she descends down the stairs from her room like a “goddess of Victory” (2) alongside her sister, Josephine. The “goddess of Victory” symbolizes Mrs. Mallard’s triumph and success in overcoming the “powerful will bending hers in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow-creature” (2), which she has experienced in her marriage.

By ‘othering’ the male species and making them sub-human, Margaret can successfully exercise control in her realm. She also employs this tactic in The Hunting of the Hare in which Wat, a male, is a hare being hunted and assuming a secondary and fragile position. However her anxiety of authorship recurs. After assigning animal counterparts for the male species in The Blazing World, she quickly reiterates that she indeed receives power from the emperor. The empress and the Duchess, both as Margaret in a fragmented state, are informed and educated by priests and statesmen, both male, of the affairs of the government and the church. These figures, which could arguably also represent elements of Margaret’s own psyche particularly the internalized male gaze, attempt to justify their exclusion of women from places of worship and matters of the state as they are “importunate persuasions” or threatening figures of change (1782). Furthermore, when she herself describes the power one could exercise in their own world, she does so by using masculine pronouns; “he may create a world of what fashion and government he will…as he pleases…as he thinks best…also he may alter that world…” (1784). Thus, Margaret once again crumbles under the pressure of anxiety of authorship due to fear of social backlash.
