  • The Awakening Bird Analysis

    967 Words  | 4 Pages

    Kate Chopin’s novel, The Awakening opens with a scene of two birds, emphasizing that the motif of birds later within the novel will play an important part with setting the constant metaphor they bring. Throughout the whole novel the motif of birds is a metaphor for the Victorian women during that period -- caged birds serve as reminders of Edna’s entrapment and the entrapment of Victorian women in general. Edna makes many attempts to escape her cage (husband, children, and society), but her efforts only take her into other cages, such as the pigeon house. Edna views this new home as a sign of her independence, but the pigeon house represents her inability to remove herself from her former life, due to the move being just “two steps away” (122).

  • The Symbolism Of Birds In Andrew Aydin And Nate Powell's March

    859 Words  | 4 Pages

    Across all cultures, birds have come to symbolise the status of freedom, and have been portrayed as such in media. The United States of America’s official symbol is the bald eagle, said to symbolize both strength and freedom that the country upholds as part of its core values. Crafty visual work is also at play in graphic novels and memoirs, where symbols can supplement the understanding of the overall theme in a particular page or scene. One graphic memoir, Andrew Aydin and Nate Powell’s March series, is adept at using the symbol of the bird to communicate the idea of freedom. This retelling of John Lewis’ life and involvement in the civil rights movement portrays this in a way that is unique to its own style, and stands by the overall message

Yet it is also conical and comes to a point allowing it to grab insects. Thus the Chickadee tends to forage in locations with ample berries, seeds or insects. This diet partially explains why the Chickadee prefers White Oak (Hemert et al, 2012).
