The painting demonstrates a wintery scene in which three hunters are coming back from their hunt joined by their dogs. The general visual impression is one of a quiet, chilly, cloudy day; the hues are whites and grays, the trees are uncovered of leaves, and wood smoke is seen throughout. The tree limbs in the painting are covered with fine snow. People are tobogganing, curling and skating on the lake. Fire fighters are seen dousing a house fire. A few grown-ups and a couple children prepare food at a motel with an outside fire and a couple individuals are seen shooting birds. A water wheel can be seen frozen in place from the ice and the church steeple seen in the distance give visual reference to how far the hunters are away from their town.
In the short essay “Why I Hunt” by Rick Bass, the writer gives the reader his personal perspective of what hunting is like for him. Rick Bass goes on to share the story of his family’s move from the hills of Fort Worth, Texas to the very remote Yaak Valley of Montana. The move to this area makes Bass want to hunt more since there is a better variety of prey, and due to everyone that has lived in what Bass calls “the Yaak”, has hunted their entire lives, he feels obligated to do it more than what he did when he lived in Texas (655). In “Why I Hunt, Bass argues that his love for hunting is an enjoyable hobby that develops his imagination and gets him in touch with nature, and that people should put down technology and try hunting. Bass uses imagery to show the beauty of hunting, and pathos to describe his emotions towards hunting.
Analyse (tell me how the poet creates this image - choice of words, literary devices, implication etc)The idea of a freezing, harsh climate is emphasized with "winter's city" and "winter's leaves". The poet uses words like "death" and "terrible" to highlight the freezing, barren winter.
The first thing I noticed is a young two to four years old white boy on the right side of the painting. His left arm is around a male lion, and his right hand is holding a stick with some blue berries that resemble like grapes. At his right food is female lion and lamb laying on grass. Behind the lioness and the lamb is a hollow trunk of half a tree with yellow tree, a vine with the blue grape-like berries, green bushes, and hill that has orange tree and hollow tree trunk. On the boy’s left side is a white goat with black spots and leopard laying down on the dirt ground. Behind the male lion is a
Hunting is an extremely controversial topic in the U.S. Since the beginning of history, man has hunted animals for food to live and to utilize other parts for clothing and other essential reasons. There are many people who are strongly opposed to hunting and think that it should be banned. There are also many people that support hunting and think that it is an acceptable thing to do. One such writer, Rick Bass, describes a similar emotion in his essay, “Why I hunt”. In the essay, he emphasizes his deep love for hunting and claims that it is an enjoyable activity. He employs such details to his story describing his surrounding beautifully that towards the end of the article, his attempts to appeal to reader’s imagination strengthen his
"The Hunters in the Snow" ('Hunters') is a 1565 oil-on-wood painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The work was originally a part of 12 landscape paintings that covered every month of the year. The intention of these works was convey life, to show and demonstrate the basic characteristics that were present in Bruegel's lifestyle at the time. "Hunters" is a snowy winter landscape, painted predominantly with blues, greens, and browns, to evoke feelings of winter. Darker, more tonal colours are also used to contrast the blues and whites and to suggest dull european lighting. Bruegel utilises compostion to guide his audience through his work,
The first painting I chose to focus on is Waterhouse’s, The Lady of Shalott. The main aspect of this painting is the trip down the river the Lady takes during part four. The painting does include the words “The Lady of Shalott” (126) carved “about the prow” (125), and the woman is “robed in snowy white” (136). Also there does seem to be leaves falling around her as well as the coming of night, similar to the image presented in the poem. Also similar to the poem, the woman in the painting has a very exhausted and sorrowful demeanor. The second painting I chose is Whaterhouse’s, The Lady of Shalott Looking at Lancelot. This image shows the moment where the Lady finally sees outside instead of in her mirror. This is the moment when she has finally broken free of her isolation and captivity, but also the moment that begins her
The art piece is a painting made by A.Y Jackson (as signaled by the signature at the bottom), and it shows a cold and snowy Canadian Autumn day. The pictures show a cloudy day in a place which seems cold and isolated. Although the sky is blue and is a presence of sunlight in the scene the sun is hidden behind the quickly, moving by the air clouds, given the impression that that place is getting colder. There’s a lake of crystalline waters which reflects the outside and that it’s starting to freeze by the corners, this lake surrounded at both sides by a large forest of thin trees, most of them of orange or soft brown wood that have already lost their leaves, and others that are in the process of losing their leaves as well. It’s a cold windy

Have you ever wanted to go hunting in the summer when you are free of work and activities? Is it a problem that you would be interested in to change? I would like to change this law so I could go hunting when I am able to. Deer season all year round is important to all the hunters and wannabe hunter. I want to change the law that you can only hunt in one season because it is making deer being overpopulated, It would let people who are busy during the season hunt, and It would make deer meat sell more at restaurants. The first issue is that deer are becoming very overpopulated.
My grandfather has always been a big part of my life as he has a love for outdoors that is contagious. He instilled in me the love of nature and wildlife. As a young child I remember listening to his hunting and fishing stories. It always sounded like something I would enjoy. When I was young I knew my grandfather exaggerated his stories, but it made them all the more exciting. We started scouting deer together when I was about 10 years old. I will always remember the first time that I shot a deer. My grandfather was there to share the joy and excitement and he was happy too.
Food. Clothing. Conservation. Entertainment. All valid reasons to hunt that have evolved greatly over the years. Hunting has served a tremendous role in the progress of man.

The hunt has over twenty-five men participating with ten of them riding upon horses, the others treading on foot, with assegai in hand, through the thick brush of the forest. This hunt is taking place during a dark night in the woods, the branches of the trees shape dark lines that have followed the movements of the uneasiness during this night. The treetops are a vivid green with hints of orange and yellow signifying the beginning of the changing of seasons. The landscape painting displays men on horses, horses rearing, dogs leaping over fallen limbs, all hunting down the same animal, which is deer.
Earth is currently in the midst of the sixth mass extinction in the past half-billion years, and it is predicted that 30% to 50% of all species could be headed to extinction by around the year 2050. Human activities are responsible for 99% of these extinctions, whether through human-induced global warming or encouraging habitat losses. Although recreational hunting isn’t a big contributor to this mass extinction, it goes along with the widespread theme of human benefit and enjoyment having superiority over the natural world. Many animal rights groups have protested this activity since humans no longer need to hunt for sustenance, making it an unnecessary, selfish practice that encourages ecological imbalance in the future.
