In the article “The Great Bird Poop Disaster” it talks about how there are a lot of problems that are caused by bird poop, one is that it has acid in it so it is corrosive. In the article, it says “At the center of a bird dropping is a black substance; that is poop. The white, gloppy stuff is the urine, which consists mainly of uric acid. Uric acid is corrosive. That means it can eat away at the surfaces of buildings and bridges. Bird poop can also ruin everything from the paint on your mom’s car to your favorite T-shirt. In the U.S., pigeons cause about $1.1 billion in damages every year.” (Starecheski 18).

The Beak of the Finch by Jonathan Weiner explores evolution through the most famous examples in history—the finches of the Galápagos Islands. Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection and the process of evolution are applied directly to what scientists refer to as Darwin’s Finches. Weiner follows scientists Peter and Rosemary Grant as they study the finches in real time on the Galápagos. Years of previous work, study and data is collected and analyzed. Different species of animals are observed and explained throughout history. The Grants have one goal, and that is to find the origin of the species, how organisms first began. They find that it really is about the “survival of the

I really had to take a had look at both my characters and decide what are their ultimate goals for this book. What motivates them to continue on or fight when they need to? What values do they have and why? Who is important to them ultimately who would they live or die for?

In the short story “The birds,”by Daphne du Maurice,the main character Nat Hocken repeatedly lied to his family because the children were too young to understand,the children needed to remain calm,and that the most important things to keep him and his family alive.

These character actions and interactions allow the reader to understand the motives of every character; young adult readers, who are only now beginning to understand the complexities of social interaction, can see from all sides the facets of these

In the beginning of the novel the bird shrieks “Allez vous-en! Sapristi!” at Mr. Ponteilller. This symbolizes how Edna feels trapped and longs for freedom and space. The author paints the picture that Edna is not free, she is not yet “Awakened”. Edna realizes through her desire with Robert she is like that bird in the cage. She has everything a women living in her time period would want. She has an amazingly wealthy husband, two children that she doesn’t have to really sacrifice her time for, and every materialistic object money could buy. Yet she is not satisfied, she feels like she is

In The Awakening there are many examples of symbolism with the birds in the novel. The first example of this is right at the beginning of the book when the parrot begins to yell and shriek at Mr. Ponteiller and forces him to leave the room. The parrot yells “Allez vous-en! Allez vous-en! Sapristi!”(Chopin 1) which translates to “Go away! Go away! For heaven’s sake!”. I view this parrot as a voice for all of Edna’s feeling which she cannot flat out say to her husband. By having the book lead off with this it shows how Edna is trapped and can not do anything to get away from her husband causing her awakening.

The articles “Reflections on Law, Culture, and Slavery” and “The Difference of Race” provide a substantial amount of insight into the culture, law, political, and social situations of Antebellum America. Many of these insights connect to the events and situations that occur within the book, “The Good Lord Bird”. The culture discussed in these texts reflects well with the culture portrayed within the book while some of it was not what Henry was exposed to and this has some implications.

The author has a clever way of getting the reader to read on by introducing new, surprising events at the end of each chapter. The introduced supporting characters, setting and conflicts all contribute to make this novel an overall decent

Winter 1942- Leiser was cold, freezing in fact, as he arose from his bunk bed, a bed overflowing with other people, some dead and some merely asleep. He sat up among the sea of bodies, forgetting where he was or what happened, before the memories all came flashing back.

A bird flies wildly about, twisting and diving. It is panicked, trying to escape the boy on the ground below, who hurls small, painful missiles at it from a slingshot. The creature of the air is a splendid sight; the wings are as if covered in jade paint and the tips dipped in a ferocious scarlet. The breast is a majestic solid blue, its throat a sulphur yellow. And the head and the tail both are a livid, dark purple: beautiful.

After their son José drowns in a flood, Teresa and Alejandro Levi fall into dispute about the nature of religion. Teresa curses God’s cruelty, and she scorns her faith-keeping friends. Alejandro, on the other hand, is no stranger to suffering. He watched his own mother get axed to death by her mad Hungarian maid during a surge of anti-Semitic pogroms in Ukraine, so he responds to his son’s death by retreating more deeply into prayer. He prays so intensely that he breaks into “the Interworld,” an in-between world of pure spirit. Here he meets a rabbi, and, much to Teresa’s disbelief and frustration, this rabbi becomes Alejandro’s constant companion and advisor in all things.

Once upon a time, in a beautiful forest, there was a little bird that want it to know learn how to fly. His name was Steve and he was passionate about the blue sky. However, little Steve was still very young and the feathers in his wings were still to short to be able to fly.
