They saw a bird as caged, fragile, and beautiful, who like a woman needs to protect her nest, but the bird must be nurtured, because on her own she was incapable, and vulnerable. (The British Library, 2014).

Probably the most notable use of birds occurs when after ten years, Sula returns to the Bottom accompanied by a “plague of robins”(89). The word plague indicates that the birds represent a wave of sickness that Sula brings alongside her. The citizens of the Bottom recognize the birds as a sign of evil, but choose to accept its wickedness rather than try to rid of the robins. “But they let it run it’s course, fulfill itself, and never invented ways to either alter it, to annihilate it or to prevent its happening again. So also were they with people” (90). Here, Morrison is comparing the townspeople’s feelings both towards the evilness of the robins and towards the evilness of Sula. They welcome Sula’s return to the Bottom the same way they they welcome the birds. Sula’s personal experiences with wickedness are also acknowledged through the robins as Sula

delicate vision of a bird: “I fly with my own wings. I don’t need anyone else to hold me up.”

“Well, for instance, when I left her to-day, she put her arms around me and felt my shoulder blades, to see if my wings were strong, she said. `The bird that would soar above the level plain of tradition and prejudice must have strong wings. It is a sad spectacle to see the weaklings bruised, exhausted, fluttering

Bird was a timid, blushing little woman, of about four feet in height, and with mild blue eyes, and a peach-blow complexion, and the gentlest, sweetest voice in the world;- as for courage, a moderate-sized cock-turkey had been known to put her to rout at the very first gobble, and a stout house-dog, of moderate capacity, would bring her into subjection merely by a show of his teeth. Her husband and children were her entire world, and in these she ruled more by entreaty and persuasion than by command or argument. There was only one thing that was capable of arousing her, and that provocation came in on the side of her unusually gentle and sympathetic nature;-anything which in the shape of cruelty would throw her into a passion, the general softness of her nature” (91-92).

“What the hell did you two do this time.” She Shook her head from side to side. Her head dropped to the side, a frown forming on her lips. “I can’t believe I put up with you guys.” She lifted her hand to her nose, pinched the bridge of her nose and uttered out a sigh. She took in a deep breath, exhaling it slowly. She took one step closer to the two men, her head tilting to the side. “Show me the damage you have done.” She stated in a calm voice, but deep down inside her annoyance level for the two was starting to

When a war breaks out between the capital and the districts, the districts use the birds to their advantage, but in the end, the capital wins the war. They exterminate the

“You won’t – you can’t – treat me like that.” Her eyes were cobalt-blue prayers.

"Jer when I got here I was so angry and pissed off at everyone even to you. I scared off a lot of people. Even my own cousins kept me at a distance, didn't really want to get to know me they were just dealing with me because they had to. But you didn't owe me anything. You just wanted to be my friend. It took me months to believe you. You're the only reason people have given me a second chance. I'd probably still be sitting in the back of the cafe stabbing the wall with a knife if you weren't my friend. So yeah, thanks for

She answered back to him. Defending herself she says ‘And seemed I ever otherwise to you.’ ‘True, oh God!’ She says this in a sarcastic manner.

“Yes please! I cannot stand being near men and their foolishness. A race will prove nothing, but their willingness to compete over anything! Why was I given this position?” the goddess grumbles, shaking her head.

He called all the birds together to ask them for their help. The birds, having heard from the bison how they got their horns and coats, agreed to help Sahkonteic in exchange for giving them something they wanted. The birds said, “We will help you with whatever you wish, but only if you give us beautiful feathers.” Sahkonteic begrudgingly agreed to the birds demands. He granted them their wish and gave them their instructions. The birds were to fly north to Liniwa’s lands. Once they arrived, they were to fly together in circles to stir up the wind and create a storm that would chill Liniwa to his very core and blind him with

Eventually the two men come upon a field where as children they tied up a crane. The boys feared that they would be caught and punished, so they untied the crane, which was weak and appeared hurt. But the crane suddenly took flight, and the boys watched it fly off. Now Songsam unties Tokchae’s hands and asks Tokchae to help him flush out a crane. At first Tokchae fears that Songsam will shoot him, but then he understands that Songsam is giving him an opportunity to run to

When she finally woke up, she saw a big bird flying above her. She said to the bird, “What a beautiful bird. What is your name? What kind of bird are you? I’ve never seen a bird like you here before.”

Award winning book Jeremy; is a delightfully enchanting story about the survival of a baby kookaburra, whom is cared for after falling from his nest. Evidence of precise vocabulary is used in describing “a nest high in the big palm tree in our garden” (Faille, 2014 pg. 1), creating depth and believability in the existence of the setting (Tunnel, 2008). Using figurative language, Jeremy is given human like actions through personification, whom stays up late to watch television (Faille, 2014), a feat unusual for a wild bird. Furthermore personification is again addressed; through an emotional act of a simple goodbye kiss between Jeremy and the human girl (Faille, 2014), outlining the care two characters now share with each other (Tunnell, 2008).
