Mike Oswald's Revenge With Consequences

Mrs. Wright lived her entire marriage alone, confined to a tiny house in the outskirts of town, with her only true companion a bird who sung to her, she loved that bird like it was her child. Mrs. Wright blamed her husband for her loneliness because he wouldn’t allow her to sing in church, have friends over, or have a telephone to even call people occasionally. Mr. Wright made her feel as though she was in solitary confinement in a prison this was not a home. At least she had her canary to keep her company, well until he took that away from her too.

The theme of this story is good thing come to who those are patient. The bird showed how to be patient and to wait for the right owner to let him fly “under

In the story The Scarlet Ibis by James Hurst, the author shows many similarities between the narrator's little brother Doodle and an exotic bird. While reading through the story the young boy is not thought very highly of. No one including, the doctors, ever thought Doodle would live past a couple days. But Doodle did just that, he lived for 6 whole years. His parents even named him William Armstrong, because they thought it would look good on a tombstone. His brother later renamed him Doodle because with that kind of name no one would expect much from him. Doodle had many obstacles growing up and didn’t really fit it. While going through life Doodle was constantly trying to prove that there was a reason for his life. Doodle’s brother tried very to have a normal little brother, so he pushed him in many ways to enable him to do normal things. Doodle could not stand up or crawl and when he did he crawled backwards, earning him the name Doodle. The brothers says to Doodle, “Aw, come on, Doodle,” I urged. “You can do it. Do you want to be different from everybody else when you start school?”

Hale and Mrs. Peters find a dead canary and a broken bird cage, it becomes obvious that Mr. Wright was an aggressive and controlling husband. Mrs. Hale states, “No, Wright wouldn’t like the bird- a thing that sang. She used to sing. He killed that, too” (1012). The canary represents Minnie Foster. Before she married Mr. Wright, she was a joyful girl who sang in the church choir. After her and Mr. Wright get married, she is forced to stop singing and is stripped of her happiness. The broken cage represents Mr. and Mrs. Wright’s controlling marriage. The bird cage is violently broken to represent how Mrs. Wright violently escaped her marriage. The women’s discoveries cause Mrs. Peters to sympathize with Mrs. Wright. Ultimately, Mrs. Peters decides to stand up for what she believes.

This is how the book explains the bird as it tries to fly- “At that moment the bird began to flutter, but the wings were uncoordinated, and amid much flapping and a spray or flying feathers, it tumbled down, bumping through the limbs of the bleeding tree and landing at our feet with a thud” (392). The book draws on Doodle and the Scarlet Ibis, emphasizing their uniqueness and fragile position in the world. Both have an exotic appearance - the broken and wounded bird and Doodle's weak and uncoordinated body. They are both vulnerable and can connect through their similarities - their rarity and unusualness in society. The author highlights the many similarities between Doodle and the Scarlet Ibis, making it an interesting but sad book to read.

Although Birdie’s sad story seems to be very tragic, it is not identical to the normal literary tragedies that we normally see. Usually, a tragedy is written with a heroic character and features characters acting out the roles of the story. Instead, Waxen Wings displays a girl who loves flying, but is caught up in a series of unfortunate events Unless the reader is also a lover or flying, it is

A Red-Feathered Flyer and a Challenged Child The scarlet ibis and Doodle are very similar and reflect each other masterfully in this short story. To begin, the scarlet ibis and Doodle share many physical attributes that are easy to identify. The book describes the bird in a way that makes it appear that something is not quite right.

In his exhaustive effort to answer these questions, Mr. Mailer uses seven hundred and ninety- one pages examining the life of Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald’s father (Robert Edward Lee Oswald) died soon after his birth (1939) leaving him and his two older brothers (Robert and John) in a fatherless home with an unstable mother. Within a short time, his mother (Marguerite) sent his two older brothers to an orphanage. Oswald was three when his mother sent him to an orphanage. Unlike his two brothers, he was returned to his mother when he was twelve years old. His mother still had no time for him. She left him alone while she worked at a dress shop for twelve hours a day. He did not have ahyone to cook or care for him. “As described by others, including

In the story the father didn’t understand his daughter which made their relationship rocky. In the text it says ‘‘...watching him get out of the truck and walk toward me, noticing that there was no smile on his face but still feeling my body move toward him, my arms opening for an embrace, something rising in my throat. My father stopped and held out his right hand.’’ This quote shows that the father had a hard time showing his emotions to his daughter. In the end of the story they bonded over a bird and the father began to understand his daughter.

During this very long process a very rare bird had landed in their yard because a storm had made the bird loose his way and the bird fell dead in the boy’s yard, because of the weather difference. This bird was

There have been many papers, books, and articles written on Lee Harvey Oswald’s motives for killing President John F. Kennedy. No one knows for sure exactly what motivated him in this horrendous act, but there has been some speculation that a fatherless upbringing or his mental health led the way in making him the most famous assassin of the twentieth century.

At the bird’s appearance and apparent vocal articulation, he is at first impressed, then saddened. He compares this evening visitor as only another friend which will soon depart, just as “other friends have flown before” (58). But the raven again echoes quite aptly his one-word vocabulary, thus leading the man on to think more deeply about the possibilities that exist at this juncture. Somewhere deep inside him, he has realized that it doesn’t matter what question he poses, the bird will respond the same.

My essay is addressed to anyone who would like to know how to take care of a parakeet, specifically an Australian budgie. Budgies can be taken care of by anyone with a great sense of responsibility. Budgies are not suitable for younger children who don’t understand that budgies are not to be put into their mouth or stepped on. Budgies only weigh around a pound on average, which means they can be easily hurt. Budgies need daily care that will be demonstrated for the reader. If not taken care of a budgie will easily die since they are stuck in a cage unless they are allowed to be outside. It is important for the reader to know that this is a living organism not simply a toy. Budgies need attention if they are not paired up with a partner, so

ground unharmed while the smaller birds fling upwards and lose all their feathers. The big bird sees this and starts laughing uncontrollably.

Do two wrongs ever make a right? Or as Zits contemplates in the novel Flight, “Is revenge a circle inside a circle inside a circle?” (77). In Flight, written by Sherman Alexie, the main character, a troubled Native American teenager named Zits, travels through time and different bodies while learning about many different things that pertain to and can help him in his own life such as revenge, trauma, violence, forgiveness, family, and betrayal. A scene in the middle of the novel where Zits is in the body of a young boy at the Battle of the Little Bighorn reveals to the reader (and Zits) one of the things that had the biggest effect on Zits-revenge. Zits sees in this scene how revenge in general, and his personal revenge by shooting the people in the bank, just cause more pain as taking revenge just leads to more revenge.
