My own opinion of the big game is that it is a horrible, bloody and disgusting hunt that should get forbidden because the animal that they hunt are too beautiful and important to be killed and used.

In the novella Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck often employs animal imagery to dehumanize Lennie, in order to allow the reader to justify George putting him down at the end of the novella. As Steinbeck’s use of animal imagery progresses throughout the novel, Lennie is dehumanized by being compared to an animal that only hinders George’s pursuit of happiness. Starting with Lennie’s introduction, Steinbeck influences how the reader perceives Lennie. During the reader's first encounter with Lennie, he is described as walking “heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws," (Steinbeck 2). Steinbeck’s diction invokes animal imagery by comparing Lennie’s movements to that of a bear, which immediately dehumanizes Lennie to the reader.

The jungle setting presents the idea that the people living on it, General Zaroff and Ivan, have a twisted, chaotic perspective on life and hunting. Connell describes it as, “An unbroken front of snarled and rugged jungle” and “knit of webs and weeds,”(3). The idea that the jungle was “unbroken” proves that no man has figured out how to conquer this lunatic of a man who believes that he will only achieve the thrill of hunting if he is hunting the human species. Rainsford is dumbfounded by the fact that General Zaroff believes, “Life is for the strong, to be lives by the strong, and, if needs be, taken by the strong,” and he becomes outraged when Zaroff actually tries to console Rainsford into joining him (7). Zaroff 's contorted idea of hunting as a game sends Rainsford over the edge and he fully understands the dirt-bag of a man

Chris McCandless was a guy who thought it would be a brilliant idea to go out into the wilderness and live out there. He made many mistakes with living in the wilderness for starters he was very ill prepared, Chris did not bring enough food to survive and with that he had to find his own food. When Chris started to leave he decided he's going to get rid of all his money and so he burned some of it and gave the rest of the money to charity. Chris hunted little animals and then he killed a moose he ended up not preserving it correctly and he had to get rid of it because it became old and gross.

In “The Hoodwinking of Madeline: Skepticism in The Eve of St. Agnes,” Jack Stillinger discusses some possibilities of feminist readings of the poem. First, the romantic poem is about two young lovers—Madeline and Porphyro. Madeline dreams of her lover and her visionary imagination comes true as she wakes to find Porphyro present in her bed. The feminist presence of this poem and essay are pointed out by the internal and external conflicts of the dream and the world. As Madeline is mentioned as a saint and as Porphyro is seeking his heart’s desire of sexual encounters with Madeline, we discover that Madeline is an independent thinker as she decides to run away with Porphyro.

It was a bright, warm, sunny summer day in which my family was out picking blueberries. Around us was row after row of beautifully ripe berries, so sweet and succulent that they were falling off the branches in bunches.

She marches up to me and declares that we should have just gotten blueberries from the store.
