statement in particular stuck out to me in The Feather Pillow. After I reread the story‚ I wondered was it Jordan’s poor judgment that caused Alicia’s death‚ or was it the lack of profound love? I myself think it was both. If he hadn’t given up so easily or possibly gotten a second opinion‚ then she might’ve had a stronger chance of survival. Maybe if he had shown her more love and affection she wouldn’t have gotten sick to begin with. The Feather Pillow took me on a roller coaster ride‚ but

Bats and The Feathers both by Linda Hogan. The three similarities I chose to compare are they are based around animals‚ family and sacred beliefs. Both “The Bats” and “The Feathers” are based around the love Hogan has for the animals. In “The Feathers” she tells about how she wanted a feather from an eagle‚ but how it had to still be alive for it to mean anything.
