First, the story begins with a scene involving the main character (Rainsford) and Whitney. They start out the conversation, both agreeing that hunting is a great sport.

The fear of pain and the fear of death.” Rainsford,

They had made it to where they are sacrificed, little they know that their hearts, will be taken out and cooked and their heads will be chopped off, they were painted blue to be recognised and was taken to the top of the tower. 2 men were satisfied before it was Jaguar Paw’s turn, he was taken to the structure, and was prepared for his sacrifice. At the last moment, the moon started to cover the sun, and there was a solar eclipse before a knife went through his heart.

After eating some food and resting, he headed to the village nearby. At his arrival, “the whole village was roused”. “Children shrieked” and “women fainted”. “Some fled, some attacked” the creature. The creature was “grievously bruised by stones and many other kinds of missile weapons”. He ran away and “fearfully took refuge in a low hovel”. (p. 83)

The diction which is emphasized upon the story gives a clear picture of how everything happened in a sudden and fulfilling way. The man noticed that the snake “lay rigid” and had “suddenly arrested” and eventually watched him in calm watchfulness. The snake was placid and was not doing any violent action. The man, instead, decided to fulfill his duty concerning the community. The man describes seeing the snake as he looked like a “live wire” while his “tocsin sounded”. The man’s sudden encounter with the snake was still calm up until he decides to bring out the hoe.

As we hiked along Tijana and I pointed out red pandas and other animals along the path. Once we got to where the door was I told Tijana of the door that we stood in front of. He didn’t understand what I was talking about. So we walked back down to the village. Tijana must have thought that I was crazy because we didn’t speak the whole way down. After I had dropped Tijana off at his house I decided to go up to the door again. Tijana was not coming with me for he was to much of a burden. Once I got up to the door I heard growling and there was a tiger right about 25 yards away from me. I froze because he could have killed me right then and there. The only option was to go through the door so I took that way out. Slowly, I grabbed the key and unlocked the door and in one swift motion I quickly slipped through the

When he, his wife and a servant escaped from the house, all of his worldly possessions burned in front of his very own eyes. The following day, he visited the ruins and saw that one wall did not cave in. On the wall, he saw a great imprint of a gigantic cat with a rope around its neck. This brought the narrator to believe that during the fire, someone threw the cat inside one of the houses windows when the house was on fire. Since the cellar was made of concrete, it was not destroyed and they decided to live there. After some time, they find another cat with a splotch of white on his chest. They decide to adopt him and bring him home. This cat followed the narrator everywhere and everywhere. This eventually angered the narrator again. When he was in the cellar with his wife the cat made him trip and he was about to kill the cat with a fatal blow with an axe, until his wife stepped in the middle and the axe slammed into her skull, oozing of blood and killing her instantly. He decides to put her body in one of the walls of the cellar, like the monks of the middle ages did. For the next three days he does not see the cat. So he ends up thinking that he is finally a free man. When the police arrive on the 4th day, they check all the nooks and crannies in the room, and they do not see any evidence of a murder. When they are about to leave though, the narrator starts to brag about how well his house is constructed. When he taps the part of the wall where

He had a hobbit of torturing animals that he caught. An example of his horrid acts was that he would strangle his family's chickens to near death on their farm in Telico. Another thing he enjoyed to do was break the wings of birds he caught and then he'd laugh at the ran around flapping away in the dust in a pitiful effort to fly away with their newly-broken wings. When they moved to The bog Clyde found that there weren't as many animals to torture in their camp, but there was much more to explore. Clyde and William Daniel Jones, W.D. Jones, would often go around and cause mischief around the Bog.

Puma and the other animals were watching from the bushes waiting for the prank to commence. An hour had passed and nothing had happened,

LionWhisker charged off towards the cave before either of them could argue. As he approached the cave he let out a fierce yowl that seemed to echo through the forest. At that same moment a badger blundered out of the cave. LionWhisker leaped at the badger raking his claws across the badger’s muzzle blood oozing from the freshly made wound.

As Sam opened his eyes, he was taken aback. Cobwebs draped down from the ceiling to the ground. There was no lighting; the only trace of light was from the dusty window. The smell was what really surprised him. It smelled so good in here! He expected a place like this to be smelly, but instead it smelled like lavender and honey. He spied a plate that had some rice and vegetables, and a small bowl of curry. A cup of tea finished of the dazzling array of food. “Finally you’ve woken up,” a chiming voice startled Sam’s inspection. To his surprise, he saw a monkey. He was carrying a banana leaf with a container of something green. “You sure where lucky. Surviving a moose in rage is quite uncommon.
