Owen Aerts was hunting on november 21st in Lakewood at approximately 7:30 AM. There was a chill to the cold November air. The sun was peaking over the trees. The leaves crumbled under every step the deer took. It was as loud as an elephant walking.
Upon reaching the origin of the noise they were greeted by a sight that caused their little animals hearts to swell with joy. There before them stood, on all four legs rather than two, Snowball followed by an army of animals from numerous farms across the country. One particular animal, a young piglet, was holding the original Animal Farm flag in his mouth. The squeal had come from Squealer who, being so fat, had a hard time moving had tried to warn the other pigs of the intruders, but it was no use considering the other pigs were enjoying themselves with the
In the description of Living like a weasel , Dillard uses naturalistic diction and pure phraseology to contribute to her aim increasing such a contrast and guiding the reader towards a path of instinct above all else. The weasel, described as, “gazing”, “blossomed” and “disappeared” . She utilizes those words that usher in an ambience of natural beauty, letting the reader imagine being nested in the woods. Dillard introduces a contrast between the “musky” and “tender” nature of woods and pond versus the “beer can” filled and “threatened” tracks imprinted by human exploration and “physical senses”. She develops the idea by bringing the reader into her childhood world in pennsylvania suburbia with nature oriented diction and imagery.
Jonathan had lost breath after a few minutes that felt like hours. He ran into a bush and ducked down whispering to himself, "Help me.. help me.. Please.". Jonathan heard a faint growl and moved around the bush. He began to make a loud sound of pain as a thorn stuck itself into his shoulder.
“And on down the river, and on and on, were fireflies. lines of them wavering out from this bank and the other and back again. . . sketching their uncertain lines of light down close to the surface of the water, hidden from outside by the grasses. . .” (Par. 2).
She ends the essay passionately explaining to the readers that she, “[thinks] it would be well, and proper, and obedient, and pure, to grasp your one necessity and not let it go... Seize it and let it seize you up” (Dillard), and that we should live in the moment as we are; go about life just living and existing, thus allowing the readers to reflect on their own feelings of life and purpose. The overall tone in this essay is very passionate about how people should live their everyday lives, yet informative about weasels and the author's experience. Annie Dillard does a truly amazing job at allowing the reader's an inside look at her thoughts while showing them how a wild animal's behavior can be seen as a lesson to
As several of the boys are hunting the beast, they repeat the ritual with Robert as a stand-in for the pig; this time, however, they get consumed by a kind of “frenzy” (Golding 114)
The rabbits have their own myths, legends, and language, and their interactions with one another are frequently shockingly human-like. Despite its fantastical elements, the book is grounded in truth. The risks and challenges the rabbits encounter are all too real, and their battle for survival is a microcosm of the challenges faced by all creatures in the wild. At the same time, the novel celebrates the resilience and adaptability of nature and the beauty and wonder of the natural world.
Golding uses the word pig in the beginning of the story to show a peaceful creature who shows the slow descent into savagery with the lack of civilization . In an article written by Hussein Tahiri, he writes about how at the loss of civilization, people can become more wild-like than normal, which can be seen throughout their actions. As Jack, Ralph, and Simon explore the forest, they see a pig stuck in the creepers. Jack raises a knife to kill it, but hesitates and the pig runs away. Ralph asks Jack why he did not kill the pig, to which Golding writes, “[he] knew very well why [Jack] hadn't; because of the enormity of the knife descending and cutting into living flesh; because of the unbearable blood” (Golding 31).

There was no chattering or chirping of birds; no growling of bears and no chuckling of contented otters; instead, the clearing lay desolate and still, as though it never wished to be turned into day. The only occupants were rodents and spiders who had set their home in the dank, forgotten shack. From its base, dead, brown grass reached out, all the way to the edge of the tree-line, unable to survive in the perished, infertile soil that made up the foundations of the house. Bird houses and feeders swung still from the once growing apple trees, in the back garden, consigned to a life of
