Quotes From The Pinnacle Of A Hunter's Life

Hunting is very valuable to me, but the value is deeper than just hunting. There are so many aspects of hunting that I love. But I cherish my bow above all of them. Having my bow with me when I’m in the stand or when I’m at my neighbor’s house practicing, gives me a since of dominance. Also brings me pride knowing I’ve worked hard and stayed committed to something I truly love. There are all kinds of animals to hunt and different ways to hunt them. My favorite type of animal to hunt, is the white tail deer. While hunting the allusive deer I like to follow a code of ethics, which a lot of people don’t follow. Even though I would have liked to be given all my hunting needs, I’m proud of myself for going out and getting those needs by myself. Buying my bow and getting into bow hunting, caused me to take responsibility and taught me to stay committed to a true value in my life.

Upon his first encounter with the woods, Ike is lost in wonder, it has been his dream for as long as he could remember to join the men on the hunt and explore the beauty of the big woods. What sets Ike apart from the other men, however, is his wonder of the wilderness, not just of its size, but of what mysteries it contains. When he arrives he feels the need “to earn for himself from the wilderness the name and state of hunter provided he in his term were humble and enduring enough.” (192) Ike doesn’t desire the approval of any of the other hunter, his cousin, or even his wise mentor Sam Fathers. Instead he knows that the right to claim the name of hunter lies in earning the approval “from the wilderness” and to do so he must be “humble and enduring.” (192) Those words do not seem to fit with the violent acts of the other hunters; to them the ability to shoot and kill is all that really matters, hence the disrespect for Boon and the position of Walter Ewell as a senior hunter. By using gentle words Faulkner states that there is more to “hunting” than killing, what Ike desires and seeks to prove himself worthy of is belonging to nature, to feel its beauty and strength running through him. Without this sense of approval and belonging from the woods, Ike feels he is unworthy to take the life of an animal and to use what he has gained from death to

For those who enjoy the outdoors and nature, a nice hunting trip speak more to them.

I really enjoyed the book A Week I the Woods by Andrew Clements. When a rich 5th grader, Mark Chelmsely, realizes he must attend the field trip he decides that he is going to prove to his teacher, Mr. Maxwell, that he isn’t just a slacker. Instead he puts himself and Mr. Maxwell in a whole bunch of danger.

My first quote shows that in the begging of the story Mr. Maxwell does not like Mark.

The desire for power stems from lack of it, the need for power leads to attempts to have authority over everyone in his sight. Billy Dent thrives on dominance over others, like Jasper and G. William Tanner. Craving power over people is a trait often associated with the morally corrupt, and there is no character in the novel with more limited morals than William Cornelius Dent. His need for negative influence makes him weak because of his reliance on it. Billy Dent is the weakest character in I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga, because he relies on control, he is paranoid, and he can not resist the death he causes, which was his downfall and will be again.

In the beginning of Lord of the Flies, the hunt symbolized Jack’s attempts to prove his courage to the other boys. The first time he goes hunting, he is with Ralph and Simon as they search for food to eat while on an adventure. On that trip, Jack is unable to kill the pig because “of the enormity of the knife descending and cutting into living flesh; because of the unbearable blood” (30). Even though he was with people he considered friends, he felt the need to make up for his fear by, “ [snatching] his knife out of the sheath and [slamming] it into a tree trunk” (31). This seemingly non-violent act serves as a reminder of Jack’s attempt at being brave while in the midst of the other boys.

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

The statement I chose is ‘’The world is made up of two classes the hunters and the hunties ‘’means that hunters went threw hunties to become hunters. It is a process of change. I dont agree with the statement ,I believe people may be in between of a hontie and,a hunter. A personal experience of being a huntie, is when I was in eighth grade I did not believe it was important to learn the information I received. When I became a ninth grader I realized the work I received last year was to prepare me for ninth grade. I am now a hunter because I know what is coming in the future. I have to work hard to get to where I want to be. I was in eighth grade I did not think what was going come ahead or what I had to prepare myself for. Ninth

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,
