Imagery In Street Of Crocodiles

The first way, people noticed the everyday things is that the government banned DDT, the pesticide that was used to kill insects, was killing the eagles food chain. For example, in the first passage in paragraph 4, it says that “while it did kill pests, DDT also got into the food chain and eagles ate contaminated fish and other pray.” And in another sentence it explains how DDT was also harming the eagles eggs, so it was harming their babies too. This example shows that

Edgar Allan Poe who wrote The Black Cat along with a bunch of other literary works is naturally a master at creating imagery as well as a certain mood that he wants his readers to get into their minds. The mood of this story would definitely be fright and uneasiness, Poe develops this mood by adding certain characters, events, places, and describing words to the story. Examples of these would be the black cat, murders, the cellar in the old building, and words such as swooning to bring certain effects into the scenes. “I took from my waistcoat-pocket a pen-knife, opened it, grasped the poor beast by the throat, and deliberately cut one of it’s eyes from the socket.” (7) This scene really gives us a vivid description of what goes on at this time.

The parents’ different views and outlooks on the world influence their daughter’s decisions and alter how she reacts to Gaston throughout the story. One difference between the parents is their financial status. While on the phone with her mother, the mother said she was, “sending the chauffeur to pick her up…” This dialogue from the mother illustrates that she is wealthy. Earlier in the story, the girl was describing her dad saying, “He was at home. She was with him in his home in Paris, if you could call it a home.” The girl’s opinion demonstrates how different her life is at home. The opinion also shows how the dad’s house is not nearly as nice as her home. These quotes portray the differences in the financial aspects of the two parents’ lives. Another demonstration of the distinction between the parents is how they react to the bug. When the dad sees the bug, he proceeds to name it and defend it. The girl says, “Everybody hollers when a bug comes out of an apple, but you don’t holler or anything.” The dad replies by saying, “Of course not. How should we like it if somebody hollered every time we came out of our house?” This conversation implies that the dad is creative and accepting things that are odd. In contrast, when the mom sees the bug she immediately rejects it. The mom says, “Somebody gets a peach with a bug in it, and throws it away, but not him. He makes up a lot of foolishness about it.” These words

A basic human’s psychological need for approval from those around them is well-known and well-discussed in the psychiatric world. This is especially true of children and the parental figures in their lives, including teachers and guardian figures. Throughout the novel The Bluest Eye, Pecola and the other children, Frieda and Claudia are desperately seeking the approval of their parents. However not getting the love and approval that they are seeking out leads to a sense of hopelessness from all of the girls, and in Pecola’s case, insanity. This hopelessness experienced by Pecola is very similar to the hopelessness of the bird in Maya Angelou’s “Caged Bird.” Both the caged bird and Pecola are longing for something that is essentially

In the introduction of the film, the narrator was talking about how a bird struggles for survival when losing a parent. The bird loses an extra care taker, making life’s survival rate decrease. The bird's loss of a parent is the archetypal symbol in this story because Nicholas Nickleby losses his father after the bird story is read in the introductory. Nicholas and his family's life situation becomes more difficult economically because of the lack of income. The death of a parent is brought up several times throughout the story like Smike's tragic story. Smike had the most difficult life out of all the death of a parent situation because he grew up never knowing either of his parents. A child struggles to grow up with only one parent, but having no parents to be raised by is twice as hard. Smike was never raised by anyone except Mr. Squeers, who raised him as a slave. Also, Anne Hathaway's character lives with only her father because she lost her mother very young. She struggles to earn money for her and her father’s living up until she loses him as well. At the end of the story, Kate and Nicholas Nickleby marry their significant other. The man marrying them says that growing up without a parent is always difficult, but sharing and creating new blood for someone else rebuts a family, making a stronger bond. This wraps up the archetypal symbols seen throughout the entire film from the scene of the bird losing a parent in the beginning of the film to the

While searching a cupboard for some sewing supplies to fix a poorly sewn quilt, Mrs. Hale finds a bird cage tucked away inside of it. The bird cage that Mrs. Hale finds is the most symbolic object that reveals the motive for the crime. A bird cage is a symbol of confinement or imprisonment. Mrs. Hale says, “No, Wright wouldn’t like the bird—a thing that sang. She used to sing. He killed that, too” (781). Mrs. Hale makes a comparison between Mrs. Wright’s singing of a bird in the sense that birds sing, but Mr. Wright does not want her to do so. The bird cage is the symbol of Mrs. Wrights feeling of imprisonment in the house with her husband. She feels as though her husband is keeping her confined and this is the motive. Mrs. Wright enjoyed singing at one point in her life and her husband did not want her singing, so “he killed that, too” (781). Although, he could have emotionally wounded her or physically, it is not clear what he does to prevent his wife from singing; but it is clear that he put a stop to her doing it somehow.

In this excerpt of “The Egg” the father appears to be striving for something, aspiring to be impressive and advanced, and struggling to be more that he really is. His character advances the theme of desire. The effort made by the father to impress Joe Kane provides enough evidence to support this characterization. From the grotesque deformed body of the bird in the bottle to the desperate squeezing of a boiled egg into a bottle, it all points to the eagerness of the father to impress and to be seen as advanced. When he fails to accomplish what he desires, the “roar of anger” that rises in his throat shows the intensity of his longing. Also, this anger exhibits an underlying sense that the father knows he will fail and cannot achieve what

In this story the creature couldn’t understand why the would cry, weep and be unhappy. In the creature’s point of view, he he viewed the children’s life as a wonderful privilege. The creature said “you possess a delightful house and every luxury, nice clothes, wood for fires and wonderful meals.” But yet he still couldn’t figure it out.

Those are some reasons and pieces of evidence thought the story like he says he will “never give thought the story.” He is determined thought out the story by collecting money in his shoe .He is also determined to save money .Those are some of my reasons and evidence thought out the story .Woosh, that's the sound of airplanes taking off in the story “Fly Away Home” by Eve Bunting. Even though Andrew, the main character, is homeless and lives at an airport he continues to show determination throughout the story.

Cockatrice rules his manor with threats and fear. Unlike his father, Senex, who always remembered the canonical crows to help unite his animals, Cockatrice never crows the canon. "So under him the day lost its meaning and its direction, and the animals lost any sense of time or purpose...They were tired all the day long, and at night they did not sleep" (page 82). Under his evil rule, the creatures suffer from disunity, distrust, and dishonor. Cockatrice shows no concern for the animals of his land and resorts to having the Toad speak for him. He humiliates the animals and is an enemy to the creatures rather than a Lord. He rapes the hens and forces them to bear his children and suffer a cruel indignity. He swallows up thousands of children that hatch as Basilisk creatures and then vomits them back into the river. Rather than protect the creatures of his land, he orders his Basilisk children to kill everyone living until only he sits silently in his tree. Cockatrice leaves his land and flies west for he has no creatures to lord.

In Papa’s Parrot, the theme of the main character's actions is developed by how he chooses to stop coming by his father’s candy shop everyday after school, because he felt

While in the chicken coop, the old man “…spent his time trying to get comfortable in his borrowed nest…” (Marquez,3). How would the old man know how to position himself in the nest without flattening it? The only way would be that he had the mentality of a bird. The other supernatural character in the story was “…a frightful tarantula the size of a ram and with the head of a sad maiden.”

He tells his kids to admire the birds for their persistent effort (not giving up) to try to get in. he also tried to hide things from them, for example, during the plane crash he tried to cover it up with an excuse so that they wouldn’t be frightened, and he didn’t want his wife to see all of the dead birds lying in their children’s bedroom or Mr.Trigg after he died.

I thought this was a very entertaining poem about being nobody. I can just see a person talking to another person in a crowd or people. This could very well be me in a crowded room standing in the back with another law enforcement person who does not like the limelight or attention. Emily uses the imagery of the frog and the bog. She also uses June as a way of putting a sort of image of time. When you think of June, you think of Spring or Summer. Also, she uses “like a frog - To tell one’s name…” describing the frog to provide a sort of auditory sense of imagery. Frogs croak, which how we relate to them and that is their voice and how we identify them without seeing them.This line brought back images of childhood trips frog gigging.

Birds, like Cholera, lead to death. Márquez uses the birds in the novel as an ironic message of love that soon leads to a disastrous end. Birds were the reason why people died, just like Cholera will make people die. In the novel, Márquez does not include a character that actually died from Cholera. However, he does include characters that die from “love sickness” at the hands of birds. Since lovesickness serves as a parallel to Cholera, we can assume that birds also represent Cholera, which is the fate of death. The most prominent example is when Dr.Urbino tried to catch his beloved parrot and eventually fell to his death. The parrot that Dr. Urbino spent countless hours of dedication and the bird that he had paid more attention than he did to his own children, that lead ironically to his death. Another example when Olimpia Zuleta gave Florentino a carrier pigeon as a thank-you for rescuing her and her parasol. Florentino sent back the carrier pigeon with an unsigned love note, and thus the romance between the two began. The Pigeon that lead to a romance between the two soon ended when the husband discovered her infidelity and Olimpia was killed. Both Dr.Urbino and Olimpia lose their lives to love, whether it be because of a bird or for a bird. I believe that the birds also
