Deep in Southern California there once was a family, a single mother and her only son Kevin. They also had a dog which they loved very much as if it was another son for the mother. The life they were leading was like a fairytale because the whole family were very happy and delighted. However there was one day they lived and dreaded for there whole lives…

One day Kevin was playing outside with his friends, the way he always did almost everyday of his wife. What he didn’t realise was that one of the most perilous snakes in the world was lurking in the distance.

Anaconda is one of the biggest and deadliest snakes in the world for its strength and quickness. Although the Anaconda has no venom in his mouth, it grasps its prey and ties it into a not until the prey cannot breathe. The prey eventually dies and then the Anaconda swallows its prey whole! The Anaconda can eat big animals such as goats, sheep, rats and it could kill a human with ease making it very dangerous.

Therefore this Anaconda had his eyes set on Kevin and looking for his monthly meal. As it approached Kevin, the Anaconda lunged towards him however Kevin’s heroic dog saved his life. His dog was named Jerry a long time ago by his owner. Jerry was not intimidated by the snake and he was not going down without a fight.

Jerry saved Kevin’s life however he couldn’t save his own when the snake and dog had a perilous combat in the side. Jerry had the upper hand near the beginning as he slapped the snake when he was not looking. However the snake outmatched the dog and gave him a bite on the neck which later resulted in the death of Jerry.

The snake was not finished as he was still looking at Kevin to feats on. Kevin was only a nine year old and the only thing he could think about doing was to scream his guts off. As soon as he screamed Kevin’s mum was there in a flash with a large frying pan and knocked some sense into the snake. The snake was hit very hard so it slid back into the bushes

    Diction In The Rattler

    • 536 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The author’s diction heightens the power and force behind the snake as it responds to the man. When the man first stumbles across the rattlesnake, it is “undulant” while “waiting” and holding its ground in calm “watchfulness.” The diction conveys slight tension in the otherwise still setting. The atmosphere feels tranquil, and while the snake is cautious, it is still at ease. This tranquility disappears, however, as the man attacks, and the snake “shoots” into a dense bush and shakes its “furious” signal after a “twitch” of its tail. The snake’s movements show much more power than they did before the man attacked. In turn, the atmosphere becomes more tense as the snake becomes more forceful. The diction describing the snake before and after the man attacks creates a contrast…

    In the beginning of the film it shows two professors describing a creature who has evolved into the “most extreme and deadly” of species. The creature they are talking about becomes identified as the “Newt”. Newts are aquatic amphibian creatures’ part of the Salamander family. In the scheme of predator and prey, the newt is known as the prey and its opposite is considered the garter snake. As a defense mechanism to the garter snake the newt produces a toxic nerve poison. This toxic poison is known as Tetrodotoxin, poison so powerful that if you digested a drop it will lead to organ failure and death. The question then arises how did the poison become so powerful? Well it turns out that the garter snake was the answer. Through years the garter snake has been preying on newts, and over time through newts offspring the response to the predator was to create a more powerful poison. Resembling the newts evolution, the garter snake developed a response.…

    I fell back on the mulch, full of tears, wishing that I'd never existed. The whole world was spinning. I felt like sinking deep into the grounds of the earth, and never returning. I thought I was ordinary. I did ordinary things an ordinary kid would do. But maybe not to them... The two vicious cobras hissed and snatched at me. Their venom sunk into me like a needle; It hurt. It stung . I couldn't hold the tears back anymore. Those two cobras changed my life. It was recess time, and I was playing on the playground like any other kid would do. Then came the cobras, slithering towards me like I was the prey; the tiny little mouse that had no strength. "You're a maid," they exclaimed. "You don't belong here!" The two pushed me down, my body landing…

    Eric Rugara's "The Snake" uses kinetic prepositions to highlight the aliveness of the story by enhancing the father's excited movements, reflecting the dynamic mood felt by the characters at the end of the story. Frequent use of prepositions depict the spatial movement of the father in relation to the snake, contributing to "The moment, the emotion, the action and aliveness" (Rugara) appreciated by the family and readers. The mellowness of the tea drinking of the bystanders concurs with the use of static prepositions outlining the remoteness of the portrayed innocent snake slithering “on the gray wall, above the window and next to the door”. Whereas at the climax, as the father "leapt back" (Rugara) and "brought down the pole on the snake’s…
