Pilgrim at Tinker Creek After the winter, people look forward to having all the flowers begin to

Audubon speaks about the phenomenon in seemingly awestruck way, noting their power and magnitude while noting the birds’ formation as a natural wonder. A striking characteristic of his description is his

John Muir and William Wordsworth are great examples of this theory. Throughout their stories, both men give great insight to how the harmony of nature impacts their lives in a way that can make them forget about all the sorrow and depression they have following behind them; Wordsworth and Muir’s stories include syntax and diction to verbalize their passionate relationship towards nature. William Wordsworth’s poem, “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” excellently shows how the power of beauty can changes one's once depressed, sad day into joy and blissfulness. In Wordsworth's story, he exploits his experience of how nature changed his mood of depression and sorrow to grateful and glee when he stumbles across a bed of beautiful golden daffodils dancing in the breeze. Wordsworth writes: “A poet could not be but gay, in such a jocund company” (stanza 3). In this passage, Wordsworth shows his change of heart when in the presence of something so beautiful and alluring. Wordsworth also shows how nature impacts his mood from the quote: “They flash upon the inward eye, and my heart with pleasure fills” (stanza 4). In this final quote, Wordsworth explains that even when he is apart from the beautiful golden daffodils, it is the memory that keeps his spirits alive. While Wordsworth's experience with nature

One of the women made the comment that Mrs. Wright used to be pretty and happy, when she was Minnie Foster not Minnie Wright. This is just the beginning of realizing that she was just pushed to far into depression and couldn't live up to John Wright's expectations anymore. The Wrights had no children and Mrs. Wright was alone in the house all day long. The women perceive John Wright to be a controlling husband who in fact probably wouldn't have children and this may have upset Mrs. Wright. They eventually find vacant bird cage and ponder upon what happened to the bird, realizing Mrs. Wright was lonely they figured she loved the bird and it kept her company. The women make reference to the fact that Mrs. Wright was kind of like a bird herself, and that she changed so much since she married John Wright. They begin looking for stuff to bring her and they find the bird dead and they realize someone had wrung its neck. This is when they realize Mrs. Wright was in fact pushed to far, John Wright had wrung her bird's neck and in return Minnie Wright wrung his.

Spring is, in many cases, symbolized as renewal. And in a literal sense this is true. In the spring, flowers bloom and trees begin to come alive from their long, dreary sleep. However, when an author is writing about the spring, they are usually referring to it in a

The symbolism used adds to the story and adds to the idea of women stepping out of men’s shadows. One of the main female characters owns two birds: a mockingbird and a parrot. These birds are used to symbolize the main character Edna Pontellier’s true feelings. The parrot symbolizes Edna’s unspoken feelings and thoughts. The fact that the parrot is caged represents how Edna feels trapped in her loveless marriage. The mockingbird is used to represent Robert. The parrot and the mockingbird talk to each other and seem to be the only ones who understand each other, which is synonymous to Edna and Mademoiselle Reisz’s, a pianist and single woman, relationship. These two women share the same idea of wanting to be independent; however, only Mademoiselle Reisz lives this lifestyle. She understands that Edna wants this lifestyle and helps her reach it by teaching her artistic skills and by keeping her love for the neighbor boy Robert alive. The bird with the broken wing symbolizes Edna’s failed attempt at freedom. Just like the bird, she tried to escape her cage, but in the end, it cost her her life when she drowned while swimming in the sea.

Spring is a time of renewal, where everything comes to life, summer is where everything is in full bloom and love is in the air. Lastly, fall is when things start to die out.

But what does all of this have to do with a murdering of a bird? The first real reference to any birds in the beginning of the book is the last name of the family which is Finch but really until chapter

Kevin screamed “Watch out” Garret had served out of the way and landed in the ditch. There were bird feathers everywhere. Garrett and Kevin had wandered around to find the bird but couldn't. They walk for a good hour before the found the bird and by now it was very dark out but it was only 1:00 PM. Garrett looked up in the sky and screamed.

Their trifles do not stop at just the broken bird cage, but continue to finding the bird. Both Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale “wonder what happened to it”

I love fall because I think it has the perfect weather. It’s not too hot not too cold. My mamaw and I love to sit outside on the porch and read a book. The trees in the fall are so pretty with all the colors. When the wind blows off the leave’s from the trees and lands on the ground it lights up the whole yard. I just think that fall is amazing! The fall has so many things to talk

Birds, as Julia would say, sing their songs to connect with others. To further that thought, birds sing to the rhythm they hear through nature. Julia comprehends the birds songs as music, and birds sing their songs to connect, which is what music is all about. They keep rhythm in nature, like tapping a pencil adds music to a classroom, which Julia does all the time to bring back her memories of music. To finish, Julia feels birds are enhancing music in the outside world, she knows as nature.

The months of winter are my favorite. The bundling of coats, the tearing of hot chocolate packets, the warmth of the fire that you crowd around with your family. For me, winter is the time where I am happiest, yet for some animals, they aren’t even awake.

Nice breeze with warm air. Through all of the seasons fall is my favorite. It's not too hot or too cold, it is just right. Everyone can do lots of things, and we can enjoy the nice weather.

On April 16th, Haskell observes the songs of the birds in the forest. “The dry buzz unleashes a confusion of songs from all directions, a jumble of tempos and timbres.” (Haskell, pg 81) Haskell describes how birds use these beautiful songs to mate. Male birds, he explains, take years to perfect this song. The songs are used to help attract female birds for mating. In the larger scale, these songs are a daily normal in the morning. Most humans wake up on a daily bases hearing birds sing their song, but they never bother to pay attention to it. However, when taking a closer look, we understand the purpose for these songs, and thes songs become even more beautiful and unique.

When you ask people what their favorite season is, you typically hear them say the spring or summer. If you ask them why they like those two, you get the normal answers, like “I love the fresh smell of blooming flowers, or the cold, shivering wind is not for me, I like the heat.” Unlike most, I love the cold, crisp breeze in the bright winter days. When I think of winter I think of being bundled up in an electric blanket, sitting back watching Christmas shows on Hallmark with a nice, warm cup of hot chocolate with mini marshmallows, and wearing warm fuzzy socks with aloe in them. The thing that makes winter the most amazing part is knowing Christmas is right around the corner.
