Descriptive Essay About A Runaway Bird

The bird stops singing at once and then I’m aware of all that could happen to me… just me, I’m totally by my own now. I find myself, waiting for something really bad to happen; that feeling inside found its way out, yelling at me, saying that this is not my imagination, that something is actually wrong, I wonder what could it be. Seconds freeze, floating on the air, a moment seems to be a life time, how many lifetimes have I been here waiting? And what am I waiting for?

His daughter understood the bird better than all the others who had owned it. As soon as the swallow was brought to her by her father she noticed it was feeling sickly as was she. The text states“When the girl wakes suddenly in the middle of the night, the first thing she sees through her fever is a small cliff swallow blinking at her from behind the bars of a rattan cage. She knows too well how terrible it is to be kept inside. ‘I know what you need, little bird,’ she murmurs. But the swallow no longer believes what people say. Slowly, the sickly girl rises from her bed and carries the cage to the open window. Unlatching the rattan door, the girl asks, ‘Will you fly for me, too, little bird?’ And her language is one that the swallow understands.” This shows how the girl and the swallow understand each other.

Writing, as described by E.L. Doctorow, is an exploration. In her novel, Bird by Bird, Anne Lamott explores the writing process, providing her insight on stylistic, theoretical, and instructional points. These points are essential in the composure of a book and are prevalent in many literary works such as Tim O’Brien’s The Things they Carried. In his book, O’Brien relives his time on the frontlines of the Vietnam War, telling fictional stories of life before, during, and post war.

If the owner of the bird was Mr. Wright then he would not have broken into the cage because pet owners have no need to break into their pet’s cages. This also means that Mr. Wright intended to harm the bird when breaking into the cage. Mrs. Hale’s statement supports the notion of Mrs. Wright having a pet bird, “‘There was a man round last year selling canaries cheap-but I don’t know as she took one. Maybe she did. She used to sing real pretty herself,’” (13). Mrs. Wright would’ve also wanted a canary because of her husband’s personality. Mrs. Hale suggests that he had a cold personality, “‘But he was a hard man. Just to pass the time of day with him-.” She stopped, shivered a little.”Like a raw wind that gets to the bone.”...”I should think she would’ve wanted a bird!’” (14). The mutilated canary proves that Mr. Wright did break into the cage and he did in fact, kill the bird, as suggested by Mrs. Hale, “‘No, Wright wouldn’t have liked the bird,” she said after that-“a thing that sang. She used to sing. He killed that too.” Her voice tightened,” (17). The murdered bird is what Mrs. Wright was so angry about when she was sewing that one patch of the quilt. She would’ve been angry over the murder of the canary because she loved it, and people get angry when pets they love are hurt or killed. Mrs. Wright had wrapped the bird in silk and “she was going to bury it in that pretty box,” (16). Silk is expensive material and for Mrs. Wright to intend to use it for her canary’s burial indicates her love for the
