A White Heron

“A White Heron”, written by Sarah Orne Jewett, depicts a young girl whose love great love for nature and animals meant her and her family's needs. Sylvia's knowledge of birds including the white heron, she had to make a choice between saving the white heron and helping her family. Sylvia does both of these things because she is close to nature.
Sylvia’s great understanding of the animals comes from her love for nature and wild creatures. Sylvia knows a lot about many different types of birds. 'So Sylvy knows all about birds, does she?' The hunter exclaimed, as he looked at the little girl who sat, timid but extremely sleepy in the moonlight. The hunter finds out that Sylvia knows a lot about birds and that she may be able to help him find a white heron for his bird collection. Sylvia's love for the outdoors is also very obvious when she says that she would have liked to have her home to be outside rather than in doors because of its beauty and peace. Sylvia said, this was a beautiful place to live in, and she never should wish to go home. It is obvious that Sylvia is happier living in nature, rather than in a humid house. She also likes to watch the animals in their natural environment.
With Sylvia's extraordinary knowledge of birds, Sylvia has a decision: either to help support her family or to save the white heron from the hunter. Sylvia has an idea where the white heron is, and may possibly be able to help the hunter find the bird for his collection. Sylvia knows that she would be awarded much-needed money for directing the hunter to the heron, but she decides that she cannot play any part in bringing about the bird's death. The hunter eventually leaves Sylvia without his prize.
Sylvia shows her love for nature when she does not sell the white heron for money. Sylvia went with the hunter to find the white heron and had found it. When Sylvia and the hunter find the white heron he offered her money for it but she refused. When she saw the

    “Kamala kept a small rare songbird in a small golden cage. It was about this bird that he dreamt… The little bird was dead and lay stiff on the floor. He took it out… and then threw it away on the road, and at the same moment he was horrified and his heart ached as if he had thrown away with this dead bird all that was good and of value in himself.” (p.82)…

    At first the purpose of the passage “Owls” by Mary Oliver is difficult to pinpoint. This is because Oliver begins with describing the penetrating fear of a “terrible” (33) great horned owl, and suddenly develops into a section discussing a desultory and trivial field of flowers. The mystifying comparison between the daunting fear of nature and its impeccable beauty is in fact Oliver’s purpose.…

    The poem follows the narrator’s internal monologue as he revisits a place of nostalgia that ignited his love of nature. His fears that the picturesque scene of his childhood has been idealized are quieted as he sees the place for the first time in five years, falling in love with the environment all over again. He even credits nature as “The anchor of my purest thoughts, the nurse,/The guide, the guardian of my heart, and soul/Of all my moral being” (Wordsworth LL. 109-111). His ecological thinking recharges his soul and makes him feel joyful about life once again. Nature also connects the narrator to his sister, who he sees himself in because of their love of the countryside. He acknowledges his sister the first time in the poem as his “dear, dear Friend; and in thy voice I catch/The language of my former heart, and read/My former pleasures in the shooting lights/Of thy wild eyes” (Wordsworth LL.…

    In the last line of the second to last paragraph in the story, the author writes, "Sylvia cannot speak; she cannot tell the heron's secret and give its life away." Sylvia's only friend, the pleasant young hunter who has come to her house in hopes of finding and shooting the great heron that inhabits the area, is going to leave, and has asked Sylvia to tell him where the heron can be found. Sylvia knows, but after much agonizing, finds that the loyalty she feels for the heron, as it represents the natural world, is greater than her longing for human contact. Sylvia cannot speak because to do so will be a betrayal of the heron and all she holds dear. Sylvia had never been one to talk very much. Shy and retiring by nature, she is "a little maid who had tried to grow for eight years in a crowded manufacturing town," but she did not blossom until she came to live at her grandmother's farm. Having been overlooked in a "houseful of children," Sylvia is "afraid of folks," and has memories of a "great red-faced boy who used to chase and frighten her." On her grandmother's farm, she has no companions, and becomes very close to the animals and the land in compensation. When the young hunter comes to her grandmother's house, Sylvia is at first intimidated, but then is drawn to him. There is within her a longing for human interaction which has never been fulfilled, and thus when she is faced with the choice between making her new friend happy or saving her beloved heron's life, the dilemma is agonizing. Looking deep within herself, Sylvia recognizes that, in the final analysis, her loyalty to the bird is greater than her love for the man, and so when she has one final chance to give the hunter what he wants, she remains silent, unable to speak the words that will mean death for her beloved heron and the world it…

    At first, Sylvia happens just to be a girl that does not want to go wherever Ms. Moore is going to bring them, but she is listening to her parents. This first decision just brings in her a negative effect. Even if Ms. Moore happens to be the nicest women in the world, she prefers being at the pool at this moment. The atmosphere isn’t the best, and the kids, especially her, can’t wait to get back to their houses and go play outside. Sylvia demonstrates absolutely no innocence at this moment and in fact, she tries to look at Ms. Moore from a high point view, thinking that this lady won’t learn anything to her today. “And she was black as hell cept for her feet, which were fish white and spooky” (Bambara P.116). The author used the last quote to demonstrate how she insults Ms. Moore and how since she is so black but she is wearing white, there is a connection between her and the white community at this moment. Maybe that’s why Sylvia may be the only one in the end that will understand something of this day.…

    When the women are looking around downstairs they come across a bird cage in the cupboard. Mrs Hale observes the door is broken off and someone must have been "rough with it," suggesting the motive for the crime. When Mrs. Hale looks inside Mrs. Wrights sewing box hoping to find scissors she finds a box and inside is the dead bird wrapped in silk. The birds neck looked as if it had been strangled. The women recall that when Minne Foster was younger she was lively, wore pretty clothes and sung in the choir, they said "I heard she used to wear pretty clothes and be lively, when she was Minnie Foster, one of the town girls singing in the choir." The bird represented Minnie before she was married to Mr. Wright. Mrs. Hale says, "She-come to think of it, she was kind of like a bird herself-real sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and-fluttery. How- she- did- change." Minne and the bird were both caged, the bird was in stuck in an actual cage and Minne was stuck in the house all the time. Mr. Wright changed Mrs. Wright, he took all those good things away, he was controlling he didn’t allow her to see her friends or leave the house, he even stopped her from singing. The bird was her motive…

    Many times, in the book, the author is confronted with dead birds. During her childhood, the author spent much time with her grandmother out bird watching and while her mother was less involved in this, it is that the author very much connects birds with her family. We see the result of this connection when we see her encounter a dead whistling swan, “I knelt beside the bird, took off my deerskin gloves, and began smoothing feathers. Its body was still limp— the swan had not been dead long. I lifted both wings out from under its belly and spread them on the sand. Untangling the long neck which was wrapped around itself was more difficult, but finally I was able to straighten it, resting the swan’s chin flat against the shore”. (p. 121). The author and her family lived their entire lives at the Great Salt Lake. It seems to me that if the author felt such respect for a single swan, then how she felt for the area must have also been quite a powerful feeling…

    The bird represent the joyful life Mrs. Wright wants and use to have, and for Mr. Wright it represents his cruelty and abuse. The bird sings and provides warmth and joy for Mrs. Wright. The bird is a sign of cheerfulness in a bleary home. Mrs Hale states, "He didn't drink, and kept his word as well as most, I guess, and paid his debts. But he was a hard man, Mrs. Peters. Just to pass the time of day with him--." She stopped, shivered a little. "Like a raw wind that gets to the bone." Mr. Wright strangles the bird, once again neglecting his wife, trapping his wife in a bleary place, and being cruel and abusive.…
