Lee shows this in many ways and one of those ways was with Boo Radley. “Boo Radley was about six-and-a-half feet tall, judging from his tracks, he dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch, that’s why his hands were bloodstained” (16). Even though they had never met or seen Boo, the children have heard many rumours about him from neighbours which shows that they have cast him out of their society. In the first few chapters, Scout is afraid of Boo Radley because of the stories she hears about him. “Every night sound I heard from my cot on the back porch was magnified three fold, every scratch of feet on gravel was Boo Radley seeking revenge, every passing Negro laughing in the night was Boo Radley loose and after us” (74).

Now all he had to do was wait for night and for his father to fall asleep. Boo was nervous even though he hadn’t worked with fireworks before he knew how to light them he was just scared he may endanger himself in some way not giving a single thought to the fact that he may be endangering others around him. He pushed the thought from his head however because it was nearly ten o’clock, and that was the time his father typically went to bed. He crept down the hall towards his fathers bedroom to hear for the snores that would indicate his fathers deep slumber. Reaching the door he heard the saw like buzz of his fathers snore and continued down the stairs and out the door.

Additionally, Antonio makes the first connection between the owl and Ultima, where he realizes that the owl was watching him and Ultima knew what he was doing and what he witnessed as if she was there herself. After Antonio finally gets home after the play, he get extremely sick, “And always Ultima was near me, caring for every turn I made in the progress of that hideous journey" (172). We learn that throughout Antonio’s hardest time Ultima is there watching over him, and taking care of him. This is very similar to how the owl watches over Antonio when he is away from the house in potentially dangerous situations. This hints the reader of some connection between the owl and Ultima from their protective natures, especially for Antonio.

The Cold Birds The imagery of the short story “The Birds,” by Daphne du Maurier, illustrates that these birds are trying to get inside of Nat’s house for the purpose of terrorizing them. “Various incidents were recounted, the suspected reason of cold and hunger started again, and warnings to the householders repeated” (61). This quote shows that the birds are somehow trying to give Nat and his family warnings by tapping on his windows before the attacks and after the repeated attacks. “The tapping went on and on and a new rasping note struck Nat’s ear as though a sharper beak than any hitherto had come back to take over from its fellows” (75). This quote shows that the birds are constantly giving Nat and his family warnings and the birds

He was beat by “The Bird”, an instructor in the camp, no one should be beaten, the instructors are their to help, teach and instruct not to treat others aggressively.

The wives of the two men investigating at her house find her half done kitchen and infer that she was in a hurry. They also find a quilt with messed up stitching. From that they infer that she was having a fight with her husband. Then they find a beaten up bird cage and a strangled little bird in a box. The two wives then uncover it all, her husband didn't like her singing to the bird so he strangled.

For example, “darkness” implies mystery, obscurity and the presence of evil, while “fearing” and “[d]oubting” suggest insecurity and a lack of confidence. The persona eventually returns inside, but he soon hears more tapping. Determined to discover where the sound is coming from, the speaker opens the shutters and inadvertently lets in a raven. Fascinated by its “stately” appearance, he starts a conversation with the “ebony bird,” and is shocked to discover the raven can speak. Although the raven only says “[n]evermore,” the speaker continues talking to it, asking it if he’ll ever see his beloved Lenore again in the afterlife.

The rumours of ghosts stories the children have heard, increase their fear of Boo Radley. "Every night sound I heard from my cot on the back porch was magnified three-fold; every scratch of feet on gravel was Boo Radley seeking revenge, every passing Negro laughing in the night was Boo Radley loose and after us; insects splashing against the screen were Boo Radley 's insane fingers picking the
