He uses it mostly with birds, but sometimes he uses it for Doug’s perspective on things. Doug describing the bird is very imaginable, “‘Don’t think of the bird as a flat image.”’ “‘Think of it the whole way around, even parts that you don’t see.”’ “‘Then think of how all the different pieces of the bird are working with or against each other.”’ “‘Think how the body of the bird wants to fall…”’ “‘And the wings want to keep it up”’(234). He shows imagery by the bird picture, descriptively saying how the picture looks. This is so the reader can really understand what is happening in the picture and how he’s explaining it. Doug explains things very deeply like, “There was still a little bit of light left in the summer sky, and the birds were having a riot before turning in” “A few stars starting up”(77). Doug is very observant with things and he describes them well so people know what he’s talking about.It’sa good thing to be descriptive. He also explains another bird, “And then you looked at the belly of the bird, which was spouting think red blood all over the dark feathers”(114).

By starting with the line “each bird and stone, each roof and well”, the fifth stanza inserts personification when the author describes that animals aren’t the only ones aware of the change of seasons, but that unanimated objects understand and feel it as well. The

“The Birds” Essay Daphne Du Maurier maintains suspense throughout her short story “The birds” by using different examples of literary devices such as foreshadowing, mood, and cliffhangers. She builds up suspense by using each device a different way. First, Maurier maintains suspense by using cliffhangers to leave readers curious. For example, Nat thinks, “’ We’ve enough for two or three days, not more…’” (18).

Thus, through the initial impression of the man of the bird’s brave and challenging movements by the utilisation of poetic techniques, the reader is able to visualise the bird’s characteristic it inherits and gain a deeper understanding of nature and the impression of humanity distinctively.

“Ink smeared like bird prints in snow” is the first simile that appears in the poem and serves multiple purposes. The most obvious one is the creation of imagery, where it compares the black words the persona writes on paper to the bird’s foot prints that are left behind when a bird walks on snow. The imagery alludes that the persona will leave a “footprint” in the form of a note that people can use to trace her path but she will never be there anymore. From line thirty-six to forty, the poet creates another imagery of a sparrow (a tiny and a delicate bird) flying in windy snowing weather. The sparrow is dizzied and sullied by the violent wind; it encounters a lot of difficulties and fear. In this imagery, the persona compares herself with the delicate bird. She compares the challenges that the sparrow goes through to the suffering she encounters relating to her parents.

Furthermore, this poem heavily uses a mixture of literal and figurative imagery. One of my favourite examples of imagery in this poem was “hands reaching out / fists raising up / banners unfurling / megaphones booming” (Jetñil-Kijiner 62-65). This quote allows the reader to imagine the protests and the movements that people are trying to do in order to save the planet. That was a case of extremely powerful and inspiring literal imagery as it shows people’s fight for change. This is an example of people who are fighting to save the planet for not only the current generation but for future generations as well. There are also several examples of figurative imagery, the most prominent is personification. An example of personification is “they say [the lagoon] will gnaw at the shoreline / chew at the roots of your breadfruit trees / gulp down rows of your seawalls / and crunch your island’s shattered bones” (12-15). In this example, it is talking about the repercussions of climate change and what the future will look like if people do not change. The use of personification helps the reader understand the awful things that can

Imagery is a good source to help the readers better understand what is happening in the poem. There are several examples of different kinds of imagery. One example is “crouching over the hot coals of desire” (Wallada 5). This shows the use of kinetic imagery and visual imagery. It shows kinetic imagery because it shows the image of a character bending over hot coals. Visual imagery is used by having the reader visualize someone bending over something. Another example of imagery being portrayed in this poem is “there may be winter rains pelting copiously down” (Wallada 13-14). Tactile imagery is used

Imagery is a primary literary technique a poet uses to capture the readers or listeners senses. We gain comprehension of the world through the use of our sense. Therefore, how the reader perceives a poem is always the most important aspect every poet considers whilst writhing. The images of a poem have the ability to appeal of each of our senses, taste, smell, touch, hearing and sight can all be heightened by certain aspects of poetry. The imagery of a poem has the ability to transport us into a different place or time, allowing the reader to experience new observations. When used correctly, imagery has the ability to form an understanding of different emotions the poet tries to address through their poetry. The sounds and diction

The birds are the major symbolic images from the very beginning of the novel: "A green and yellow parrot, which hung in a cage outside the door, kept repeating over and over: `Allez vous-en! Allez vous-en! Sapristi! That's all right!'" (Chopin pp3) In The Awakening, caged birds represent Edna's entrapment. She is caged as a wife and mother; she is never expected to actually be able to think and make decisions for herself. The caged birds also symbolize the entrapment of Victorian women in general since their movements are limited by the rules of the society that they live in. Just

In my opinion, she referred to the birds flying around the scene coming out of nowhere. Also in Paragraph 5, she quoted they were odd, silent, nearly all old, and from the way they stared they looked as though they'd just come from dark little rooms or even - even cupboards! It seemed like she was judging the people by their appearance once again, and she basically made it seem like the people were depressed or lonely.

After watching Alfred Hitchcock’s The birds, maybe you’ll start to get frightened by birds.

However, the messages of human drama and environmental issue behind this movie, 1960s unique lifestyle, acting and beautiful sceneries appeared in the movie will remain in your heart clearly.

The poem I am reviewing is "The birds" by Nanos Valaoritis; It was published in 1972. Valaoritis tells a story about a boy and his father. The son hears and sees things, but the father lies and says that it is only something else, only trying to move his son's attention away from "the birds" as " the birds" roam home to home. What what is "the birds" symbolizes?

In stanza 2 the caged bird “stalks down his narrow cage,” because of the resentment he suffers due to his situation, (line 8). Through the visual imagery presented the author depicts the birds longing to be free from his cage. His desire to experience the world has blinded him with rage, “can seldom see through his bars of rage,” (line 9-10). The author then depicts another scene using visual imagery- that of the bird deteriorating. The visuals illustrate the impulses the bird cannot act on, “His wings are clipped and his feet are tied,” (lines 11-12). Maya Angelou employs visual imagery to establish the theme of impulse and the repercussions unfulfilled desire may present.

The use of nature in poetry and stories has a long history in Ireland going back to the early use of bird song to describe divine messages. (Melia, 1999). The natural world gives writers the ability to communicate expression through the use as symbols and Celtic traditions describe how animals and birds were important parts of society. The use of natural world subjects give a poet such as Oscar Wilde the inspiration for some of his best works in poetry and short story. Oscar Wilde's use of birds and how they are used throughout his writings show great examples of the use of the natural world. The connection to nature in Irish literature can be shown by examining some of Oscar Wilde's most important works such as The Nightingale and the Rose and The Happy Prince as well as poems such as Magdalen Walks.
