    The first line introduces the idea of anthropomorphism by describing an animal doing a human action. In the line, “giant cockroach started to pace”, the writer mentions vaguely how large the cockroach is but the readers don’t know if it is simply large for a cockroach or human size. Also the writer uses the word, “pace”, suggesting that the cockroach is thinking about something (meaning it would be a sentient being). This demonstrates that the author considers this cockroach to be more than simply a cockroach.…

    In this fable, cats seem to be the guardian of the Underworld, and together with the ants also appear to be guardians of the time. "The cats trotted and slunk and leapt and crouched. Their movements were catlike, or perhaps clockwork. Their tails twitched like hairy pendulums." The author makes clear that they are only moving catlike as if to hide their real nature. Also, the word clockwork introduces the concept of the passing of the time, which is explained better in these verses, "They are carrying pieces of Time in their mandibles. Time is heavy, even in such small pieces, but the ants have strong jaws, strong legs." The witch is dead, and the ants carrying pieces of…

    Carpenter ants can become pests when they build their nests in damp areas within human construction, or search for food in homes. If an infestation occurs, it is usually because all or part of an existing colony moves into the home from the outside. The ants can enter a home in a number of ways including tree branches or utility lines touching a structure, cracks and openings around windows and in foundation walls, ventilation openings in an attic or roof, and through foundation heating or air conditioning ducts. Carpenter Ants typically build their nests in wood with a moisture content above twelve to fifteen percent, so it is important to monitor rain leaks, bathtub leaks, kitchen floor leaks, or any water leaks that affect wood, for the…

    Leiningen is a man with great intelligence who is able to use his intelligence, along with leadership and confidence, to aid in his defeat of the vast army of ants. Leiningen’s key illustration of his intelligence is his preparation towards fending off the ants. Leiningen had lived at his plantation through much fearful devastation including previous attempts of ravenous insects to acquire food. “But since then he had planned measures of defense accordingly…”(1). Intelligence is applying acquired smarts and Leiningen is doing just that as he takes precautionary actions to avoid further devastation at his plantation. Leiningen has installed every line of defense that his mind could think of on the borders of his plantation, the first of which was a water-filled ditch. “This water filled ditch was one of the defense measures which Leiningen had long since prepared against the advent of the ants”(2). Precautionary action mainly in the form of barriers became Leiningen’s primary line of defense against the ants. Precautions are preparations to defend an area in this situation and show that Leiningen had previously devised an intelligent plan to fend off the ants. The second critical precaution of Leiningen was an inner moat that protected the plantation once again. “Finally, he made a careful inspection of the ‘inner moat’—a smaller ditch lined with concrete…into this…

    The reader expects that when the two men come face to face with each other many years later, the “grasshopper” will be found suffering from his past sins while the “ant” deservedly, lives in luxury.
