Cluck's Short Story: I Had A Friendly Owls

I also found a squirrel that we can play with; its leg is broken so it can’t run away, but just in case I put a rock on its tail.” Tom always enjoyed playing doctor with animals Herman found. As soon as they made it into the house, Tom and Herman rushed over to the disabled animal. Herman set down his wooden box and quickly opened it so that they could begin. Herman reached into his box and grabbed a small knife, and quickly cut open the squirrel’s abdomen. They both took turns carefully cutting out organs and taking apart bones until there was almost nothing left. The boys and their surroundings had become covered in

Mary Oliver’s passage from “Owls” is composed of various stylistic elements which she utilizes to thoroughly illustrate her nuanced views of owls and nature. Oliver’s use of intricate sentence structure–syntax– and a speculative tone are formal stylistic elements which effectively convey the complexity of her response to nature. Oliver’s passage is largely constructed with complex sentences, which provide insight into her views of nature. Following her discussion of various types of owls which she is accustomed to seeing and hearing, Oliver connects her experiences of wondering about nature to her own life, stating: “The world where the owl is endlessly hungry and endlessly on the hunt is the world in which I live too.” In this example, Oliver’s sentence is composed of “endlessly” twice, a technique which emphasizes the connection between the owl that is incessantly active and the same environment in which she lives.

It was hard he tried with all his might to get away from the mob. They ruined his clothes and he tripped and fell in the mud. Which got his clothes stained. He finally got away from the mob because he ran into an alley. After that he had to look for a place to buy a new tuxedo or suit.

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.

Many adults choose to alter the truth to certain questions so that they can shelter children from the horrors of the real world. I remember growing up I would ask my parents things that looking back now I am sure it was hard for them to come up with an answer to. Today as a big sister my little brother will ask me questions and I have learned that slightly covering up the truth is better than him knowing the full truth in order to keep his innocence for a little while longer. In “A Barred Owl” and “The History Teacher”, both poets do this when kids ask questions that they don’t really need to know the actual answer to. However, although each author has the same idea, they convey it differently in their poems by using different literary devices

A few reasons for this are the following: to keep the children calm, they weren't old enough to understand, and it's Nat’s job as a parent to protect them. For Mat and his family to survive he had to keep his children calm.

One Day, Ralph went off onto the blazing hot beach with the utmost determination. Ralph really wanted to catch a nice dinner for the him and the other boys. He found a nice area with glimmering white sand, that was grainy and soft upon touch. Earlier that day he had spent his time trying to make a fishing rod out of whatever he could find in the forest. It ended up being a stick that had a piece of metal from the plane stuck in the end and bent into a curved shape so it met its other end. With a piece of thread off of his ratty shirt, he threaded through the hole. To top it all off he had used yet again another piece from the plane to create a hook at the end of the thread. Ralph took out the makeshift fishing rod that the had hand crafted and sat on a rock that was about 6 feet in the ocean. He cast his fishing rod and waited for a
