One Day 3 Research Paper

“The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst is a short story about how one special child named Doodle who when her was born the doctor said he would not live; but he did live even though he couldn’t walk. His brother got tired of him not being able to walk so he pushed and pushed him so he wouldn’t be teased about having a cripple brother. This short story expresses the idea that a rare red bird called the Scarlet Ibis symbolises the young brother Doodle. He was said to be cripple at birth and couldn’t walk but as he tried and tried he was able to prove them wrong and walk. Doodle tried his hardest to achieve his goal to walk, climb trees, and swim. Throughout the story Doodle’s brother/the narrator is a little mean to Doodle, but does it out of affection he believed that Doodle could do so much more and that he was destined for great thing in the future.

Bravery is demonstrated by the desire for lawfulness. Atticus Finch tries to teach his children that throughout the book To Kill a Mockingbird. He leads by the example of himself, and others in the sleepy country town of Maycomb.

When he gone outside to check the bird out, he said “It is a big red bird” (9). Not knowing the bird, he reaches out to touch it but before he does his mom has to slap his hand so he does not run the possibility of getting a bad disease. He also lies like his older brother have taught him too, but his lies are crazy, and noticeably untrue thinking they are believable. All people in his lies had wings, and could fly anywhere they wanted to but his favorite lie was about a boy named peter who had a peacock with a very long tail that spreaded it only when peter was sleeping. To top it all off he think it makes no difference to be walking vs. people who can

Mabel explains how a little boy had to attend a public hanging, but bought a goldfinch bird for himself to take his mind off of the violence. He grew a trust and befriended the bird, telling it "his small griefs and joys. " She shows,"When the boy grew

The “Red Bird” took a big role in this story. By Doodle rushing outside to a strange noise in his front yard. Seeing a rare bird on the bleeding tree that was blown off course of the bleeding tree by the storm.Then as hitting the ground the bird died. The next day him and his brother were getting ready to do Doodle’s daily workout but then Doodle couldn’t do them due to his weakness. Then as the storm struck the narrator took of running as Doodle tried to catch up yelling, “Please don’t leave me behind”(6). Finally Doodle had fallen just like the bird did and

This time, the page was turned to a dying bird. And I mean, really dying. Most of the picture was this one wing, held straight up. All its feather were spread out, and you could see how Audubon got their pattern down - three rows of long, overlapping dark feathers, tipped white at the ends. You could feel how the wind would cruise over them. It was beautiful, and it’s just what you looked at first. And then you looked down at the second wing, which was crushed. And then you looked at the

(I) It was my birthday and me and my family were walking into the pet store. We were looking for parakeets and I was hoping I could teach it to speak. Me and my brother ,Ty, were looking at all the birds. Most of them were green and yellow. I saw only one that was different. The bird I choose was a light blue and was white. That’s why I named him Blue. He seemed nice but living with him was a living nightmare. I was very disrespectful though.

My names Alaina Rea and I’m 26. As yeomen, my aunt and uncle, Alvara Rea and Montagor Rea raised me on the outskirts of a heavily populated city, teaching me how to work the land all while remaining one with nature. I had an affinity for the animals that lived around our area and quickly befriended the native birds of the region. It was through them that I learned how to fly as neither of my adoptive parents had wings to teach me. Because of this, growing up with wings proved excruciatingly difficult. Whenever strangers came to visit, I either had to hide myself or wear a robe that completely concealed my wings. Often times, against their better wishes I’d practice flying above and through the nearby forest with the native flying creatures.

When he bought it he whispered to the bird,”I know who will take care of you, little bird.” He was going to give the bird to his ill daughter to make her feel better. Like all of the other characters the man didn’t know what the swallow was saying. He placed the cage in the room and left. When the girl woke up in the middle of the night she saw the birdcage in her room and she realised how terrible it can be when a bird is in there. None of the characters understood what the bird wanted so badly but finally the bird has its chance. The bird slightly hesitated then opened its wings and flew away. Additionally, the girl said,”Will you fly for me, too, little bird?” stating that she can’t get free but she wants to feel free.

The student states that “Tasks do not come easily” and continues by saying “So I have worked hard. Not good enough” (367). From what can be gathered from this poem, the student is a perfectionist, so this makes it understandable that nothing the student does, no matter how magnificent her work may be, will not be good enough in this student’s eyes. As a result of the student’s extremely strict standards she has placed upon herself, it is understandable, then, why her not achieving a perfect grade point average could cause a great disappointment to the student. As the student prepares herself to take the leap to her death, she makes a comparison between herself and a bird ready to fly. The student writes “It is snowing steadily surely not good weather for flying” and proceeds to further compare herself to a bird by saying “This sparrow sillied and dizzied by the wind on the edge” (367). The college student continues to juxtapose herself with this bird by saying “The air will not hold me, the snow burdens my crippled wings” (367) stating in a comparative way that when she jumps, the air will not hold her. Just as a crippled bird cannot glide through the air but instead falls to the ground, so will the student once she jumps. While still using the bird comparison, the student hopes that when she is found, the people who find her will “Bury my bird bones beneath a sturdy pine” and “Scatter my feathers like unspoken song over this...earth” (368). By making this analogy, the student proves that even in this time of great distress she is still a capable and intelligent

This book tells about the penguin's March from the sea to the breeding ground and back to the sea. When summer ends the penguins will take a one week journey into the adélie coast.

That is when the chick is born. But now the males are tired so they must take a journey for food. When they come back they feed the chick. As the male and females make the frequent trips to the chicks

(blue birds) scurry up a hill moving in all sorts of directions. Behind them a herd of elephants stomp up the hill loudly, their giant feet bringing up more and more thick clouds of dust with every step. Meanwhile at pride rock, a tall flat ledge that towers over the savannah, hundreds of animals gather. Zazu, a small blue bird with a large orange beak flies to the ledge. He bows with gratitude to Mufasa, a strong powerful lion with a thick red mane. Emerging from the crowd of animals Rafiki, an elderly baboon with white hair, slowly climbs up the ledge. He hugs Mufasa warmly. They walk back to a cave where Mufasa’s wife Surabhi is cradling a tiny lion cub. Mufasa and Surabhi rubs their heads together showing their love for each other. Surabhi licks Simba’s head gingerly waking up the napping lion cub. Smiling, Rafiki bends over Simba shaking his walking cane which has two large melons attached to it. Simba swats his paws at

An idea that is expanded by Doris Lessing better demonstrates how “Flight” supports the characters in their courses of actions through their external and internal motivations. However, the means of reality and illusions within their ambitions that is in the short story is essential for the protagonist, the old man to progress as a character. Internal motivations that the short story supplies is impressions that include the old man capturing the “pretty, pretty, pretty” pigeons that were noted to be his favourite. In addition, the fact that Doris Lessing used extensive vocabulary and word choice to exhibit the “homing pigeons” resulted while using
