Magic Hawk Analysis
Magic Hawk, a statue in downtown Greeley, on 8th & 8th street, is where an ordinary hawk is flying through a small opening which is part of a flat piece of rock that is standing up straight. The hawk is made out of bronze to make it look abnormally mystical. Frozen in time, the hawk to me represents humans going through our lives on a narrow and righteous path made just for us. Anyway but the path and you run into a wall, a dead

    James Fenimore Cooper's The Spy: A Tale Of N.

    One example of symbolism is Hawkeye himself. Cooper uses Hawkeye as a way to symbolize the European and Indian cultures combining. Hawkeye also symbolizes a woodsman turned hero by using his perfect marksmanship to win a shooting contest held by the Delawares. Another symbol is Uncas and the fact that he is referred many times throughout the book as “the last of the Mohicans” (Stanley and Milne). After Uncas’ death, Chingachgook is then referred to as the last of his kind and the Mohicans die with him. This symbolizes the death of Indians and of the Indian culture…

    Psycho Black Raven Analysis

    Alfred Hitchcock’s motion picture Psycho, released in 1960, contains peculiar placement of predatory birds and other fowls with corresponding lines about birds from Norman Bates, the primary antagonist. The most obvious reference to birds takes place in the parlor of the Bates Motel where Marion shares her last meal with Norman. As Norman invites Marion into the parlor, he sets the food tray on the coffee table and turns on the lamp. Immediately, Marion’s eyes point the camera to two birds mounted on the walls: an owl with full spread wings in the corner and a black raven hovering over the couch. Marion enters the room and takes her place on the couch under the raven while Norman sits across the intimidating glare of the owl and under another…

    Amazing Crows And Ravens Analysis

    Have you ever had a second thought of what is going on inside the brains of Crows and Ravens? You probably associate these animals with words such as pests, annoying or even filthy, but that's not necessarily true. Everyday we infer things by making predictions or assumptions based on clues and our judgements. This can be done by searching for clues such as actions, attitude, tone, or body language. These examples are used to help the reader comprehend the author's attitude towards their subject. Terry Krautwurst, author of “Brain Birds: Amazing Crows and Ravens” and David Shaw author of “A Soft Spot for Crows”, both display a positive attitude towards crows and ravens by using complementary language and focusing on the intellectual abilities…

    Hawk Roosting and Golden Retrievals

    In the two poems Ted Hughes’s, “Hawk Roosting,” and Mark Doty’s, “Golden Retrievals”, the writers use tone and visual imagery to present the animals’ unique point of view in the poems. The tone of “Hawk Roosting” is powerful, sinister, and arrogant compared to the lighthearted, playful tone that is set in “Golden Retrievals.” The hawk’s monologue in “Hawk Roosting” shows how the Hawk sees the world with such power and a sense of ownership as he tells the reader that he “kills where [he pleases] because it is all [his]” (line 14), in difference the k-9 in “Golden Retrievals” who sees it in a playful and distracted manner.…

    According to Taylor, Douglas the eyes of T.J. Eckleburg will forever watch over the Valley of Ashes. This represents the eyes of God watching over the poorer part of New York City. The characters throughout the story point out the billboard and reference it when they speak of God watching over their actions and decisions they do. They look up to it for forgiveness when they feel as if they have done something wrong and that God would not approve off. They also look up to it when they pray for someone or something.…

    Evening Hawk Analysis

    As the hawk passes through, it states "The head of each stalk is heavy with the gold of our error." By describing errors as gold, it means the best of errors. Compared to human flaws, it shows the best of our flaws and imperfectness. As the hawk climbs, our flaws become seen, and eventually nothing but flaws can be seen. "Look! Look! He is climbing the last light....whose eye, unforgiving, the world, unforgiven, swings / Into shadow." The mood expressed in the fourth stanza is that of futile hope. The hawk tries with great strength to stay in the light, however, it inevitably falls into darkness. Yet it is in the darkness that the hawk becomes more knowledgeable, as it's "wisdom is ancient" and "immense." This can be interpreted as human flaws benefiting us; as we learn from them, we become more wiser.…

    Beguiling Lore

    I think the painting is a form of expression in which the intention is to give the viewer an increased awareness of how we have become a materialistic society. Because of our increased desire for the better things in life it is easier to allow ourselves to become distracted and lose sight of what is truly important in life. As a society we want to strive to be better in everything we do. In the past our american culture has taught us right from wrong, to love God and country and to stand true to our families. The importance of those morals and values seem to have disappeared.The black bird or raven can be a positive symbol of mankind's desire to be moral and spiritually…

    The imagery creates the very distinct contrast between terrifying and beautiful parts of nature. The frightening great horned owl has “razor-tipped toes” that “rasp the limb” and a “hooked beak” that makes a “heavy, crisp, breathy snapping.” The physical form is rough and rugged, reminiscent of a terrifying being. The owl is presented with characteristics of the “night” and “blackness,” The flowers, on the other hand, are like “red and pink and white tents.” The color contrast reinforces the complete oppositeness of the flowers and the owl.…
