The White Bird

Historically the treatment of Native Americans has been highly problematic, especially throughout the colonization of the New World. Although, when colonising some Europeans took a merciful and sympathetic approach to the Native Americans, generally the treatment towards the indigenous people was not humane. Not only did the Native Americans die at the hand of the settlers, they also died from diseases that had been brought to the new world by explorers for which they had no immunity. In some cases

Harper lees ‘To kill a mocking bird’, and ‘The Help’ use racism to establish the significant themes in their work. Both these texts explore the abominable treatment of African Americans during American history, discrimination power and courage. These are established through the lives of the main characters Skeeter and Atticus.

real dinosaurs. Birds are the main species that have been found to be descendants of dinosaurs. “Many shared evolutionary characteristics can be found in the skeletons of birds and other dinosaurs. One can follow the development of these evolutionary innovations by following along the evolutionary tree of dinosaurs from larger groups into successively smaller ones.”(Khan Academy.) They are actually more closely related to lizard hipped dinosaurs then the bird hipped dinosaurs. Birds have a hole in

How does the use of symbols in Romeo & Juliet develop Juliet’s character?

history in Ireland going back to the early use of bird song to describe divine messages. (Melia, 1999). The natural world gives writers the ability to communicate expression through the use as symbols and Celtic traditions describe how animals and birds were important parts of society. The use of natural world subjects give a poet such as Oscar Wilde the inspiration for some of his best works in poetry and short story. Oscar Wilde's use of birds and how they are used throughout his writings show

different ways. The blue-and-white porcelain-like potteries with Persian shapes are one significant example. The Tulip Vase (Figure 3) has a baluster form body with three short nozzles. This stonepaste piece was painted in blue under transparent glaze, thus only has two basic colors: blue and white. On the wide flat rims of each nozzle, there are painted flower petals surrounding the center opening. On the neck of the vase, there are repeating decorative motifs including perhaps birds and clouds at the top

risks associated with being a bird. Other than birds of prey (such as hawks, eagles, and falcons), most birds are prey (insert reference). Being close to the bottom of the food chain, birds require unique strategies for reproducing that also allow them to retain the ability to fly. For most birds, these unique strategies include producing many offspring and tending to the needs of the offspring for only a short period of time (insert reference). The amount of time that birds devote to caring for their

A slave is no different than a beautiful caged bird craving—yet unable—to fly.
