The wolves are the interlopers. An interloper is an intruder, or one who interferes. The wolves intrude, interfere, on the truce made by the men. Unless a miracle occurs in the minds of the hunters who find the heads of the two families dead, the truce will have died with the two men, and the three-generation-old feud may continue to thrive for many more generations.

The topic of gun control has long been an issue that has divided our countries political alignments. Peggy Noonan's take on the whole issue of whether assault weapons should be illegal is more convincing than the other two columnists because she delves deeper into the cause of the events, her diction is more formal, and the structure of her article made a stronger case for the argument.

To begin with, the two known families known as the Znaeym and the von Gradwitz have had a seemingly endless dispute on the rights to the land which is called man versus man. According to the passage it states,” The neighbor feud had grown into a personal one since Ulrich had come to be head of his family; if there was a man in the world whom he detested and wished ill to, it was Georg Znaeym, the inheritor of the quarrel and the tireless game snatcher and raider of the disputed border forest.”(Saki 1). To clarify the quote, it stated that the rivalry between the two families have escalated due to Ulrich representing his family name and honour.

Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym were enemies because Ulrich was the owner of the forest land, and Georg was trying to steal Ulrich’s forest land. They met in the middle of the forest and tried to kill each other. However, they were trapped by the huge tree that fell from a fiery storm. Waiting for their men to rescue them, Ulrich offered Georg a wine. Ulrich von Gradwitz told Georg Znaeym that if Ulrich’s men come faster than Georg’s men then Ulrich will tell the men to rescue George first, and that they have better things to do than “getting the better of a boundary dispute” (Saki 86). The quote shows that Ulrich wanted to be friends with Georg rather than fighting over who gets the forest land. Ulrich asked George to be his friend, and George accepted his request. Waiting for their men to come and help them, both wished that their private men would come first so they can be the “first to show honorable attention” to the other (Saki 87). The quote shows that both Ulrich and Georg wanted to prove that they are friends. Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym became allies from

“What the dead don’t know piles up, though we don’t notice it at first,” is an insight in Roger Angell’s descriptive memoir, “Over the Wall” (414). Emotional responses, stimulating thoughts and solid feelings are elicited through the use of personal reflection, regarding the death of his wife, Carol. This literary nonfiction, memoir uses the present tense, a constant tone, and an informal view to help add immediacy, by keeping the reader involved step by step as the author connects his personal present and past experiences regarding death. Readers are continually intrigued by Angell’s literary nonfiction essay, with provoking thoughts focusing on death, while using figurative language to keep Carol alive, with the use of vivid personal reflections and descriptive personal experiences.

Robert Frost's "The Mending Wall" is a comment on the nature of our society. In this poem, Frost examines the way in which we interact with one another and how we function as a whole. For Frost, the world is often one of isolation. Man has difficulty communicating and relating to one another. As a result, we have a tendency to shut ourselves off from others. In the absence of effective communication, we play the foolish game of avoiding any meaningful contact with others in order to gain privacy.
