Hunter: A Fictional Narrative

One day Michael’s family was in their house preparing for what was to come. Michael’s mom was gardening. Michael’s dad was cutting firewood. Lastly, Michael’s sisters were helping Michael and his dad were helping Michael get water. Michael and his dad were loading up the carriage to go hunting for food in the winter. It was starting to get dark. At last it was time to say good-bye. Sarah and Lilia, Michael’s sisters, both ran towards him dad and Michael to hug them good-bye. Mama waits until they are done, and then she goes to papa, kisses him on the cheek, and says, “ Please be careful. I don’t want to see you getting hurt. I love you.” Then she hugs and kisses Michael, and tells him the same thing, and they head out.

Day after day, we would pass the mansion building on our way to and from school. Branches of vines and clusters of moss crawled up the sides of the building. I could see the paint, tearing off the walls. People for years have said the mansion building is haunted, but I don’t believe it. They say people have been possessed and killed there. Olivia, of course, believes every detail anyone tells him. To teach him a lesson, we decided to plan to spend the night in the mansion building this Saturday.

It was the middle of October, and it was finally time for my long awaited moose hunt. I have waited ever since I was a little girl for this opportunity, and it was finally here. So, my father and I packed up our stuff and left the warmth of Phoenix. We were leaving the "Valley of the Sun" and headed for a place called Wyoming. After two days and fourteen long hours of driving, we made it to our hunting unit.

“Hunters in the Snow” by Tobias Wolff uses Kenny, Frank, Tub, and the dog to respectively symbolize Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death, the four horsemen of the apocalypse, to emphasize how maltreatment of others leads to loss. Before Kenny’s entered their lives, Frank and Tub were close friends. Kenny isolated the two so that they could not team up against him. He cleaves the two, by describing Tub offensively as “wasting away” before urging Frank to also humiliate Tub (Wolff 88). Kenny provokes the two to keep Frank on his own side, against Tub. This enforces Kenny’s representation of the horseman of Pestilence, or the Conqueror. Pestilence is described as the destroyer of opposition. A reformed friendship between Frank and Tub could oppose Kenny’s reign, which is why he works to destroy it.

Power is a characteristic that most people strive to obtain. It represents strength and dominance in society, and many strive to be in control. Even those who are close to one another can fight for power among themselves if it would serve to elevate one of them above the others. In “Hunters in the Snow” by Tobias Wolff, this conflict among friends is exactly what happens. Frank, Tub, and Kenny all have inherent flaws (lust, gluttony, and wrath, respectively) that allow them to be callous and exceedingly selfish. The three hunters show how humans can be unjust and corrupted by the mere thought of becoming more “powerful” than another. Through the elements of surprise, suspense, and conflict, “Hunters in the Snow” depicts a trio of so-called friends fighting one another to become more the most powerful and important in the group.

Tub is the main focus in the short story, “Hunters in the Snow” by Tobias Wolff. Tub and his friends, Kenny and Frank, go together to go hunt during the hunting season. In the short story, he is not treated fairly at first but towards the end he started to fit in. He is a sensitive character, especially when he is teased about his weight. “What do you know about fat, Tub said (95).” He hates it when someone else brings weight to his attention, it lowers his self esteem because nobody seems to understand his struggles.

There are numerous elements in Tobias Wolf’s short story ‘’ Hunters in the Snow ‘’. To start off, there is a problematic friendship going on between a group of men. These ‘’ friends ‘’, Frank and Kenny, seem to constantly ridicule and tear down their insecure friend Tub. After a series of unusual events Tub ends up shooting Kenny during their hunting trip. Shortly after this peculiar incident Frank and Tub seem to grow closer and begin to confide to each other about some disturbing things that are occurring in their personal lives. For instance, Frank plans on leaving his wife for a 15 year old girl and Tub had been lying to his wife about his ‘’ bad glands ‘’ and is actually overweight on purpose. These confessions are not only uncalled for but they reveal to the reader some important qualities about these two particular characters. Frank, for starters, might enjoy taking advantage of people. The girl he is ‘’ in love ‘’ with is only 15 she has never had any kind of independence, and she cannot even fathom what the real world is like which makes her easy to control. So

This passage describes Isaac’s emotions as he enters the forest for the first time. Ever since he was born, he was destined to be a great hunter. However, he never mustered up the courage to do so before he was ten so he never truly felt what it was like to become a man. He had never lived his true life up to this point. As he goes into the forest, he feels as if he is watching his true self be born. Bringing back big game trophy and meat from the forest was the pinnacle of a hunter’s life. Now that he is truly born, he can live the rest of his life as a hunter with a sense of fulfillment.

Everyone kills, and everyone eats. Not everyone eats what they kill, but these remain two of the most intimate forms of communing with our environment, whether we recognize them as such, or not. Almost 40 000 Americans are killed each year as the result of homicidal, accidental, and suicidal uses of guns; in all, Americans wielding guns intimidate, wound, and kill hundreds of thousands every year. These were the kinds of ideas impressed upon me as I grew up in my urban home: Guns were beasts, as were knives, arrows, spears, indeed anything could become a weapon if held in a particular way. We sprayed each other with the hose instead of water guns, and spent many long hours as a family "communing with nature" through long walks on the

Centered around the problems of rape in college, The Hunting Ground is a documentary that follows stories of many young women and men who had some of the most important things stolen from them. Virginity, dignity, respect, or an environment where they felt safe. More than 16% of women are raped while in college. With the number only increasing, this documentary was created to showcase the corrupt system of colleges handling these cases and give insight to what actually happens to the victims.

I really didn't like Hunter all that much, as you can tell from past events but 50% of my grade depending on him so I'm going to be as cordial as possible.  I really had no place to snap on Hunter the way I did. It just took me back to a bad time in my life where I'm from. I grew up in a terrible neighborhood in Detroit but I was always expected to do well. My mother was a drug addicted prostitute but my father was an engineer who took custody of me when I was 5. He put me in private schools to separate me from the neighborhood, there I learned more than I would have in public school, later having an almost perfect score on my SATs and ACTs and ended becoming valedictorian and student body Vice President with a picture in the yearbook voting me as 'Most Likely to Succeed'.

Brian is a very good hunter in this book. He had to learn by himself. He uses his only tool which is a hatchet to make a lot more tools to kill. He makes spear for fishing because he found fish in the lake. I have also tried spearing fish a couple years back. I did the same thing as him, i took a stick sharpened it and went out to kill a fish. I was not successful like him, but I gave it a shot. He also made a bow out of wood. He knows his stuff when it comes to making bows. He made his bow out of hickory which is a good wood because it is very flexible. I have also tried this, but I cheated and used pvc pipe. With his bow he also made arrows which he made out of the straightest sticks he could find. The arrows seemed to work and he was apple to shoot

In my opinion, hunter is someone who physically understands myths and sage understands myths through outside prospective. On one side, viewing myths from the hunters prospective gives them an advantage since they can fully gain an understanding of it. Next, looking at a myth from sage prospective is beneficial because it allows the person to look inwards at a myth. It creates a room for criticism and sometimes even objectivism. As Doniger states, “a hunter is the person who cannot get insider other peoples’ heads and so is driven by his emotions to go on being reborn himself over and over again, in order to have the series of experiences that are necessary prerequisite for enlightenment. But the sage, who can go inside other people mentally,

In the middle of the night alone, Hunter is practicing his aim with a bow and arrow. No one knows he’s practicing right now, he secretly does this at night. No one even knows that he is a expert with a bow and arrow. His whole life he has been trained to fight so he can protect himself. Although Hunter is half-god and half-man, he isn’t immortal. Hunter’s father, Emilio Milian is the son of the goddess, Claudia and god, Camilo. Hunter’s grandparents are the protectors over North America and South America. Emilio who is a full god, and Veronica who is Hunter’s mom, are preparing Hunter for the throne. Veronica, youngest daughter of Andre and Gisele who rule over France, is full human. Veronica is the reason why Hunter is half human and the reason why his real name is Holter Milian.
