Reflective Analysis Of Wilson Hall

In this reflective narrative piece, Wilson Hall depicted a life changing hunt. This piece kept me on my toes throughout the entire piece because of the way he builds up and uses suspense to keep you engaged. Hall uses vivid language and imagery to really capture the essence and intensity of his time in the woods. While reading “the cool fall breeze hit my face”, the woods and scenery came alive. This type of language is used all throughout the paper by sequencing the events in chronological order. Also, he talks about his childhood and the times that he spent in the woods, with his grandfather, to show the sentimental value of this location. This information gives you historical reference to be able to tell how old and what mindset Hall was
in by telling you how important this location is to him. The theme of this paper, in my opinion, is peace. At the beginning of the story, Wilson is very avid about the purpose of his hunt and the fact that he came to shoot and kill any animal that walked in his path but, by the end of the paper, it is clear to him that God has spoken and told him not to kill anything. As Hall’s friend, I know how important hunting is to him and how adamant he is about all of his hunting adventures but, I am elated that he did not kill another animal on this day and that God told him that its was not the right time.
