Among other animal imagery, birds appear frequently throughout the story in times of crisis. The birds often foreshadow dangers that lie ahead. For instance, when Robert's team takes a wrong turn, "the fog is full of noises"(80) of birds. Then the birds fly out of the ditch and disappear. Robert and Poole know that "[there] must be something terribly wrong...but neither one knew how to put it into words. The birds, being gone, had taken some mysterious presence with them. There was an awful sense of void--as if the world had been emptied" (81). The birds return and when Robert nears the collapsing dike and "one of the birds [flies] up cut[s] across Robert's path" as if it is trying to prevent him from going any further. Robert does not heed the warning and almost dies in the sinking mud.

“Look at your eggs,” said Rikki-tikki, “in the melon bed near the wall. Go and look, Nagaina!” The big snake turned half round and saw the egg on the veranda. “Ah-h! Give it to me,”

The lecture gave in a wildlife animal class is taking about some endangered species. The professor directs students to a discussion by letting them to look at the dwindling populations of migrating shorebirds and more about what scientists are doing to help them. They have a look at the Delaware Bay is one of the most important places many shore birds have stopped and lived here. The shore bird comes and leaves every spring and fall. In late May and early June, they gather on almost every beach along the Delaware Bay. Having so many birds assembled in one place cause a seeming that their numbers are fine, but actually it is a sort of deceiving. The professor considers a particular bird has received a lot of attention. That is a species of red

As the chapter continues, a turtle, which appears and reappears several times early in the novel, can be seen to stand for survival, a driving life force in all of mankind that cannot be beaten by nature or man. The turtle represents a hope that the trip to the west is survivable by the farmer migrants (Joad family). The turtle further represents the migrant's struggles against nature and man by overcoming every obstacle he comes across: the red ant in his path, the truck driver who tries to run over him, and being captured in Tom Joad's jacket. And now a light truck approached, and as it came near, the driver saw the turtle and tried to hit the poor thing. The driver of the truck works for a large company. His company tries to stop the migrants from going west. When the driver attempts to hit the turtle, I think it's

First off the Robinsons tamed the turtles. The robinsons snuck up on the turtles and caught them, they made sure to not let them loose. (WYSS, Pg.167) Then they grabbed some cords and carefully strung it through the turtle's shells. (WYSS, Pg.167) The turtles fought back a little but they were able to tie the cords to a stake. (WYSS, Pg.167) Finally they flipped the turtles on their backs to soothe and calm the turtles. (WYSS, Pg.168) The turtles use was to have more facility along the shore for finding food. (WYSS, Pg.168)

An ancient clan of pelican dwelling in Seacliffe Bay was threatened by a rival species, refugees from the Vast Boil. Seacliffe was one of the few territories left untouched from the seemingly supernatural phenomenon. Water all over the world suddenly heated up to scathing temperatures, killing most marine life and driving others to starvation. A species of crab (Direcrab) escaped to Seacliffe in search of a chance to survive. This very species was battling the bay’s native inhabitants for resources, as the land could not support them all. The native clan consisted of pelicans, some white-necked and others brown-headed, all coexisting peacefully. The white-necks had such unwieldy heads from their large beaks that they were rendered practically flightless from the sheer weight and could only glide for about five minutes. The

My names Anthony Perez I'm a 23 year old who was born and raise in Reading Pennsylvania. I'm a fun-loving, off the wall, quirky young man that will do anything for the token night to remember. I have a larger than life personality and I'm always seeking for the next adventure. With a big persona like mines it comes with even bigger opinions, which I'm never afraid to back up what I have to say. Lately I've been trying to restrict myself from being so blunt and out there so I can try to make friends while I'm at school. I'm currently going into my 3rd semester of college and I'm studying Liberal Arts to become a camera operator. I love life through a camera and my goal is to record for fun and exciting shows. I'm at Racc because it's smarter

The foaming tide licked at the black sand, producing whispers in the early morning air. A seabird threw his voice out in greeting as the sun crested the open water. It flew low over the beach, looking for small crustaceans to devour. Finally the bird settled for the snails that could be found clinging to the underside of driftwood. She landed atop a large driftwood log and began to pick off the tiny invertebrates. Suddenly the seabird launched herself into the sky with a flurry of feathers and indignent squaks.

Their resounding calls overbear the soft melody of the surrounding sea as more and more birds overtake the sky. A single Northern Gannet plummets below, momentarily leaving his group to join others. The remaining three birds rest high above the surf on the uneven ground as they aimlessly observe the others flying around them. As one bird stands up, it becomes apparent that their bodies, a shade darker than clean snow, mirror the light reflecting off the uneasy water. So similar, the others gliding over the water disappear for a moment, only to reappear in stark contrast to the dark water. They continue watching haphazardly as their fellow kin fly off, their egg yolk yellow heads swiveling back and forth in a lazy rotation. Another gannet swoops past, leaving the onlookers

“Hey Julia you look different!” Called some kid ,wearing an oh-so-geeky-smile, from across the bus. I didn't know what to say, did I really look that different? Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh, OH-MY-GOSH I saw Scott Hudson out of the corner of my eye, I tried to act casual but i'm not sure if he saw me. He had on a wrinkled red and black plaid shirt, dark jeans and a pair of new gray vans,he smelled of old spice and cedar , his hair was slightly gelled into a rough looking coiffure. I've had a crush on Scott since kindergarten, I wonder if he even remembers me , does he remember when we shared that pack of peanut butter crackers, does he think I'm pretty, does he even know my name.

He wonders why the birds are just waiting in the sky as if they are waiting for a command, why they are restless, and he thinks it is strange that they are little birds and they are the type of the birds that normally keep to their own territory and don’t have a history of attacking people . When he looks out toward the coast, he sees the birds flocking in his direction and he believes that for some odd reason, they are going to come down to the
