Black Dog Descriptive Writing
Black Dog is based off of a stream of concious I did in February during one of my many routine walks through a cemetery near my house. It was night time, and everything was cold and damp. But the moon made this atmosphere that I just loved that I had to write about it. It should also be noted that it was around valentine's day and I was thinking about my “perfect” mate (don’t judge me, you’ve done that before) This piece is also about on how I would be a “perfect” mate, and how I would have to change in order to actually protect who and what I love. Now, a problem I ran into was that after I had personified the storm cloud in such an evil manner, the wolf character seemed like her had to chase after her, and just thinking about it just made the character pathetic, which i didn’t want. I didn’t want a character that relied this heavily on another person. So after some time, I was …show more content…
He traveled under barren oaks, and maples, through the thick snow. He is a young wolf with grey and soft fur like white ash. He does this every night for the cool, winter air, a sky filled with stars, and her. Tonight however, the wind is blistering, damp, and unforgiving, and courses through the wolf like a banshee's cry. But with what can be mistaken for the fur of a humble dog, his pelt protects him from this almost supernatural presence, or at the very least, muffles it’s cry. Upon getting to the spot, looking over the cliff, down to the cold winter see below, , he hears a faint whisper from behind. The wolf's shadow begins, “She is awake”. The wolf looks up to see her, just walking up. Among playful stars, in a veil of night, the Moon, full and angelic, is awake. Still tired, she stretches and yawns, and looks towards the wolf with bedroom eyes, illuminating the spot to which he stands. The wolf promptly sits down to further admire her radiance and

    Rumbling and screeching roused Luna from her slumber. Turning toward the window that overlooked the city of Canterlot, she removed her sleep mask. A flash of blinding light greeted the princess much to her shock forcing her to close her eyes and shield her face with a lace pillow. A light so intense, so pervasive the azure princess felt heat caress her fur through the curtains of her bed. The low and vexatious screeching raised into a crescendo.…

    This is even despite “the brute’s” own strong instincts to not to partake in the journey. It stays with him because it knows The man is the one to provide food and shelter to it. It does not know any other way of life but to obey the one who keeps it alive. By following The dog’s comprehension of and dependency on The man for its survival, it listens to him till the final hours of The man’s fate. Fortunately for The dog, its “traits” were more favorable to the dark and exceptionally cold environment of the Yukon Trail than that of The man’s. The dog’s keen awareness to The man’s newly unusual behavior also played an important role in it’s survival. This is yet another favorable feature of The dog that kept it…

    The night descended into a haunting quietude notwithstanding, as the tranquility was overwhelmed by the benign yet mournful screech of a night owl, perched on the lowly branch of an elm tree. It was perhaps the most idyllic night in a long, long while. It was the perfect night to die, and Ms. Brundidge couldn’t have been any prouder of her decision to let go, tonight.…

    Never Cry Wolf

    Tyler “is dropped alone onto the frozen tundra, where he begins his mission to live among the howling wolf packs and study their waves” (http://www.amazon.com/Never-Cry-Wolf-Amazing-Arctic/dp/0316881791). Because he is without any survival skills and unsure of where to go and start, his adventure almost ends before it even begins. He is attacked by wolves, but fortunately a travelling Inuit named Ootek sees and rescues him. At first, Tyler just tries to survive in unknown environment. He is really scared, so at nights he dreams of how wolves are attacking him. Contact with Tyler’s quarry comes quickly – he notices two wolves. In his notebook, he names them George and Angeline. They have pups and observe Tyler’s behavior just like he observes theirs. He studies the animals day by day and he is more and more enthusiastic about them. The wolves are surprisingly very patient, Tyler becomes the object of their attention and they accept him in their environment. They both accept each other’s boundaries; they indicate that when they mark their territories with urine - this is for Tyler much harder than for “George”. The result is trust and respect between them. Consequently, one sunny day, Tyler discovers wolves’ eating habits – in less than an hour, Angeline catches and consumes 23 mice. There…

    In the intriguing story of “Never Cry Wolf,” Farley Mowat shares his experience studying Arctic wolves and caribou on an investigation in the Barren Lands of central Keewatin. What I presumed to be a dull memoir on wolves, turned out to be an emotional and nearly humorous text about a naturalist becoming fond of Arctic wolves. Mowat has an elaborate use of diction as well as syntax, imagery, pathos and anthropomorphism.…

    In this reflective narrative piece, Wilson Hall depicted a life changing hunt. This piece kept me on my toes throughout the entire piece because of the way he builds up and uses suspense to keep you engaged. Hall uses vivid language and imagery to really capture the essence and intensity of his time in the woods. While reading “the cool fall breeze hit my face”, the woods and scenery came alive. This type of language is used all throughout the paper by sequencing the events in chronological order.…

    One of the first descriptive moments of the short story was on the very first page. “We set out from the dog cages under a full moon, which seemed to cast X-rays rather than light. Thus the dogs’ ribs were exposed, as was the darkness below the ice on our steep climb uphill.” (Mackin, pg. 202) I feel like this quote described the scene very well, because it set the scene of a dark night with a eerily bright moon.…

The man stayed a few steps away from the tent. It stood in front of him, with its one eye staring back. The knight knew not of what he did. He just stood there wondering how he got there. His gloves hidden under his cloak of fur. His hair being cut by the wind.…

    "The average dog is a nicer person than the average person." This was said by Andy Rooney. Andy Rooney is a very, very wise man. He adopted a dog from an humane society once, just like I did. The animal shelter I got my dog from was called Humane Society Of West Michigan. The Humane Society Of West Michigan was very neat and orderly. It smelled like sanitizer and bleach mixed together. Past the main lobby there was a wide hallway you go through to get to the crowded room where they keep all the dogs. Inside this spacious room were kennels that had between 2 and 4 dogs in them. A couple of them only had 1 lonely dogs in them. This made me feel happy and sad being…

    As the sound of paws hitting the pavement drew near, she began to regret having ever left town, and in a fit of panic she began to cry out, her sprint regressing to a desperate flail until finally her heels caved under the weight and stress of her steps. She promptly fell onto her waist, and as a pack of hungry wolves closed in on her she clenched her ill-fated heart, closing her eyes tightly and averting her head, only to befall upon immediate silence. Eyes having expected impending doom opened widely, wandering her surroundings as she raised her curious head, only to find that she lied in what seemed a grassy milieu. She pushed against the ground to sit herself up, before slowly clenching her hair in both hands, and then dragging them down her face and along the frame of her body. What had happened to the valley, the wolves?…
