His great passion is hunting, but he will be always a polish man would he always love hunting and always practice it without mattering him the situation. In the following essay I would try to describe and see more aspects of Rainsford’s Life internal and external also, but I would describe him more internally.

    He had spent 2 months on Ship-Trap Island looking for a way to leave this terrible island and return to his home. He had needed food so he went hunting for food.

    In the poems “Traveling Through the Dark” and “Woodchucks” man must make a decision about nature in the most inconvenient ways. In “Traveling Through the Dark” the narrator is faced with, literally, a life or death situation, whereas in “Woodchucks” the narrator is faced under the Darwinian belief about killing. Both poems reveal the interpersonal relationship between man and animal as well as the moral dilemma that man faces with nature. However, through the use of narration, vivid imagery, and personification, the poets show one speaker’s sympathetic attitude towards the animals while the other speaker has an adversarial attitude toward them.…

    Rainsford jumped up from the sand and ran to the water. “A ship!”, he cried. All off the men were frantically waving the ship down. It was a relief when the ship started towards the shore of the tiny island to rescue them. The ship had floated up to the island, and the angels who saved them got off and walked over to the group. As soon as the two men got off the ship Rainsford recognized his saviors as none other than Whitney and the captain. “Rainsford, is that you?” Whitney yelled over the loud waves. Rainsford and the crew ran towards the ship and Whitney gratefully. “Whitney,” Rainsford started, “I promise I’ll tell you everything, but for now I would just like to go home.” With those words the men piled onto the small boat and…

    Houston’s “A Blizzard Under Blue Sky” explores and exhibits the idea of psycho-physical experience of being in the natural world to heal one’s psychological and emotional ailments through its invigorating contact. The narrative, by drawing on the theme of depression, relates how the narrator, seeing “everything in [her] life…uncertain” (Houston 185), goes winter-camping alone in the high country; undergoes a chilling near-death experience; and gleefully returns reinvigorated with the memory of “joy”, and “hopefulness” (188). Though highly personalized in the narrative, the narrator’s experience of depression is a common phenomenon and, Houston, in this sense, seems to generalize the issue and be prescriptive in offering an insight into its cure through an experience similar to that of the narrator’s. And this implied prescription seems to exact its influence splendidly through Houston’s description of her characters’ action, behaviour, thought and speech—that is, through the representation of persons or characterisation in her work.…

    The fourth note is on the slowness of the English character. Here the author uses another example – how the Englishmen and the Frenchmen reacts when there is a small accident on the horse-driving coach – to illustrate the slowness of the English character. The slowness on character seems like the coldness. But from the aspect of literature, the author further proves that the heart of Englishmen is not cold but undeveloped. The trouble is that the English nature is not easy to understand. The Englishmen can create flying-fish-like literature, by which the author proves that the beauty and emotion of Englishmen exists in the deep level of the Englishmen, not on the surface. And the Englishman’s attitude toward criticism is another proof.…
