The Fawd By Annie Dillard

Bambi, A Life in the Woods, by Felix Salten, is the fictional tale of a young deer’s early life in the Austrian woodlands. Salten depicts newborn Bambi’s early years as a time of wonder and friendship. This coming of age story focuses on Bambi’s maturation from a naive and befuddled, prepubescent fawn to an assertive and aspiring buck who gallantly defends the beautiful Faline from the unwanted advances of the brutish Ronno. Although life in these woods is generally idyllic, Salten offers the reader a moment of introspection when he introduces mankind to the scene. Subsequently, it is only through a tremendous feat of courage and willpower that Bambi and Faline manage to survive man’s reckless act of government-sanctioned arson. For most

In Tomson Highway’s novel Kiss of the Fur Queen the opening passage transports the reader to the harsh, cold, and intense struggle of the caribou hunter, Abraham Okimasis during a championship husky sled race. Any race often proves to be physically and mentally exhausting for a person. Highway utilizes a fantastic variety of literary devices to dramatize Okimasis’ physical and emotional experience through his last leg of the race by creating a powerfully intense atmosphere through the effective use of descriptive imagery, passionate diction, repetition of words, and a tone of desperation.

“Doe season” is a short literary work featured in one of Kaplan's popular collections. “Doe Season” may be short in length relative to other types of literature, but exhibits a deep, underlying meaning that burrows deeper than the story itself. One of the key components to the creation of “Doe Season” is the symbolism it displays. The title itself is very symbolic, as well as the descriptive writing used in this short work. While “Doe Season” takes place in a common setting, traversing the woods while hunting, a few aspects of the story are unique in the sense that the story is told from a 9-year-old girl's perspective. While hunting has long been seen as a man's task or hobby, this story follows

Everyone has a favorite animal. Some admire lions and tigers because they exude dominance and power. Others prefer dogs and cats because they make great companions. Although there are thousands of animals to extol, most would not even think about weasels. These creatures are small, overlooked, and have a negative connotation. Calling someone a weasel is an insult: it means they are untrustworthy. However, in the essay, “Living Like Weasels,” Annie Dillard writes about how an encounter with a weasel changed her life. Dillard uses parallelism and unique rhetorical strategies to show how people should find inspiration to live life in a more fulfilling manner.

The concept of free will is essential in topics related to choice. The way people live their lives is constructed by decisions they make on a daily basis, such as whether or not to attend a college classes or what job to choose in the future. But in “Living Like Weasels”, Annie Dillard realizes that the concept of free will is not pure. Society has a tendency to drive an individual’s choice based on what is the norm. Through her observations of a weasel, Dillard makes a commentary on the relationship between people and free will. In “Living Like Weasels”, Annie Dillard uses the analysis of a weasel to remind society about the often overlooked power of free will embedded in human nature.

Along this difficult march, the narrator reflects on the life of the dog and remembers the not-so-bad characteristics of the family pet, “During our joint ordeal I had developed a grudging affection for our pet; he who’d been so quick to defend my kith and kin against the noise of passing trucks, who took loud notice of the squirrels outside, who held fast in the foyer, hackles raised, fearlessly barking, whenever company arrived at the front door (248).”

The American Revolution is arguably the most important battle that we as a country have ever taken on. Through this war, we grew together as a country and as Americans.

In the novel Revolutionary Mothers by Carol Berkin, the author discusses the role of women and how their various accomplishments are often looked over in the history books. Through the progression of the novel, Berkin details various events that highlight women’s efforts through the course of the revolutionary war. The contributions of women were necessary and helped weave the fabric that is our country.

“The Fifi Bird” recounts a small crippled child abandoned by her people. While she is lying in the center of the village, a beautiful Fifi bird flies to a tree and begins swinging from the vines. The bird fascinated the little girl and as she struggled to move closer, the bird flew away. The child climbed up the tree herself and began to swing from the vine just like the Fifi bird had. As she was swinging, two men from the Bira tribe, enemies of the Mbuti, saw the girl. They called her “disgusting, ugly, diseased, and crippled” and they raised their weapons to kill the child. But all attempts to hurt her failed and the weapons kill one man and badly injure the other. A cycle occurs of men entering the village attempting to kill the child but

After leaving Mr.Leroy behind for having a possible heart attack I commenced my journey with a goal of liberating Mr. Leroyś family from slavery. I had to think long and hard about how I was going to get nourishment as well as where I was going to sleep when night approached.

On a literal level, Maxine Kumin is telling a story about killing woodchucks in her, appropriately named poem, “Woodchucks.” But, like many other works of literature, there is a much deeper, darker undertone in this poem. Through her change in diction and use of adaptive details, Kumin reveals the tragic transformation of the rodent exterminating narrator.

She was all alone- her coat soaked to the pelt- causing it to lie flat against her, freezing her to the core. Unable to get warm or dry, and too scared to venture any further from her herd, the doe stood strong. Her energetic parade had dissipated into a mere stroll, yet the furrows in the earth were getting ever deeper. The doe’s young muscles demanded rest, although her instincts and frozen limbs kept her
