The people of Hamlock, would soon realise that these birds of darkness marked the end “The Eagles.”

The very sight of these birds lead to these feelings of dread started to corrupt Alexander’s mind, “Are the Blackbird, coming to Hamlock to attack?” However, he quickly dismissed the thought, “The "Blackbirds" are nothing but cowards, they don’t have the guts to come and infiltrate our territory and besides, even if they did attack “The Eagles” are filled with power men and women, there's no way they would attack”, but even though he pushed off the idea of the “Blackbirds” attacking, he was still worried about what those wings of malevolence to the town of

The “Blackbird’s” leader, Fell Brads, let out a malicious laugh that echoed throughout the dark and desolate streets of Bradford, with that he spoke in a deep voice “we’re all going to converge at the entrance of “The Eagles” hideout and capture every single member we can, then that feeble leader of theirs, Alexander will come for us, without even realising it's a trap”.

But, now due to his age his senses have become dull so it’s easy to sneak up on the old man”, even though fear had filled their minds the “Blackbirds” accepted their commanders

    In both passages it is noted that the number of birds is far too great to count. Both passages make use of metaphors and similes to make the description of the flocks more vivid. In Audubon's passage the birds are likened to a giant serpent. In Dillard's they are an unending banner. Both authors engage multiple senses by describing not just the sight but also the tremendous sound that so many birds make.…

    “The birds sang louder and louder. At last he sun came up bewildering bright. Sylvia could see the white sails of ships out at sea, and the clouds that were purple and rose-colored and yellow at first began to fade away. Where was the white heron’s nest in the sea of green branches, and was this wonderful sight and pageant of the world the only reward for having climbed to such a giddy height?” (Jewett).…

    Ralph Ellison begins the short story, “Battle Royal”, in some what of a state of confusion. The nameless narrator informs the reader that he has been essentially lost in the early twenty years of his life. The narrator’s grandfather adds to his confusion and the overall purpose of the story. While on his death bed, the grandfather claims to be a traitor and a spy.

    The author uses imagery to illustrate and give the reader a clear understanding of his thoughts about injustice. Dunbar uses imagery by stating, “ Till it’s blood is red on the cruel bars” (line 9). This shows the bird’s relentless efforts to escape. The author includes this to relate the bird’s struggles and hardships to his own dealing with injustice. Another way Dunbar uses imagery to relate to injustice is by stating, “ When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore, When he beats his bars and he would be free; It is not a carol of joy or glee, But a prayer he sends from his heart’s deep core”( lines 16-19). Here the author uses imagery to show the reader that even when the bird is in pain he still fights for freedom and justice. The author uses this piece of imagery to relate himself to the bird in the sense of that like the bird, the author fights for his freedom, but along the way is…

    In the first stanza of the poem, Warren uses vivid imagery to introduce the hawk into the landscape. The imagery of the hawk’s wings “dipping through the geometries and orchids that the sunset builds” signals that the day is coming to an end as the light turns to shadows. This darkness results from the hawk…

    “I got my enlistment papers today,” said Lars. “Where’re yours?” Herman stopped smiling. He didn’t reply. “I said, Where are yours?” said Lars. “I won’t be going,” Herman said. His voice was straight and calm though his heart thudded as hard as hooves in his throat. “You hear that, Cal?” Lars said to the other boy. “Richter says he’s not going.” Cal grunted and stepped forward into the lantern light. He held a sickle. “Your daddy not gonna let you fight in the big war?” teased Lars. “Or are you afraid to fight?” “I’m not afraid to fight,” said Herman. He eyed the sickle and wondered if Cal would actually use it on him. Then he looked at Lester and pursed his lips. “What then?” asked Lars. “You plan on stealing our land while we go to war?” “What?” said Herman. “Of course not.” “That’s not what my pa says,” said Lars. “My pa says your pa is a treasonous snake who plans on buying up this whole section while his neighbors go to Europe to fight for this country.” And then Herman said something he didn’t believe: “Well then your pa’s wrong.” Cal dropped the sickle, pulled back his fist, and mashed it into Herman’s mouth. Herman dropped to the ground, his lip swelled immediately.…

    “Nesting Time”, a poem by Douglas Stewart combines an anecdote of his and his daughters experience in nature, with description of the appearance and behavior of the honey-eater, and his typical philosophical reflection in the relationship of nature and man. The poem is thus personal, objective and universal in its several dimensions. This is a charming poem that appears to comment on Stewart’s personal experience. He is pleasantly surprised by the behavior and appearance of this remarkable bird, which makes him forget the ‘hard world’, focus on its tiny beauty and cause him to reflect on humankind and nature. The opening is impassioned in its generalizing quality: ‘Oh never in this hard world’. It is apparent from this judgment that Stewart, in regarding our human life as a difficult and unconsoling affair, finds profound solace in nature and her creatures. The reader notices the contrast between his heartfelt “Oh” and absolute indictment of ‘never’, and the cluster of adjectives, with internal rhyme, which introduces the bird: ‘absurd/Charming utterly disarming little bird’. His love for it grows from an initial acknowledgment of its silliness and, then, praise of its captivating behavior to, finally, and adoring diminutive in ‘little’. It is Stewart’s descriptive language that brings the scene to visual life. The bird’s actions and purpose are highly visual through the often…

    Blood splattered to the ground, flung from the end of a longsword blade thrust in and out of the red man’s heart. Stumbling back, he fell to the earth beneath him, writhing in discomfort and pain. Such a descent left behind a resounding thud, though muffled by the pings and clashes of shield and sword and the screams of pain, agony, and terror. More red men arrived in droves, marching onward, firing a barrage of scorching arrows at the town, striking thatch roofs, the fields, and the trees. The quick strikes of boots on the ground echoed like drums through the still air. The sun shone on the blades of the red men’s axes and swords, blindingly bright, as it slipped below the horizon. Night was nearing.…

    Do the Right Thing.

    The pure innocent hearts and minds we had as children are tainted by the injustice we experience, masked by the greed we gradually pick up, and torn apart by the stress of responsibilities. Children have yet to go through the loss of innocence through the process we call “growing up”. “The children have not brought clubs, or sacks, or anything but themselves.” The likely parents of the children are having the pheasants for food; the harsh weather makes the matter difficult which then causes the adults to return to their “survival of the fittest instincts”. Morals and ethics aside, they beat the defenseless pheasants dead for food. The pheasants were abandoned and defenseless; it’s like killing a mockingbird. These boys aren’t thinking of the food on the table, life’s called for actions haven’t gotten to them yet; they just want to help cold chickens. Such an act might draw puzzlement from many of us, as to why they gave their jackets to a bunch of birds one might ask. They were doing the right thing. The fact that they are not ‘human’ does not stop them from displaying kindness,…
