Short Story Vs. The Birds
If you had to choose a better main character, either from the story or the movie “The Birds”. Who do you think is the better protagonist? In both the short story and film. Birds from different species started working together. And the birds start to organize and attack everyone. I think Melanie Daniels and Mitch Brenner are the best protagonists. Because, Melanie Daniels goes and warns everyone.
In the short film Melanie Daniels and Mitch Brenner are the better main characters. Melanie did a better job by warning them saying that crows attacked the school. Melanie Daniels also tries to warn the guy smoking the cigar to not drop the match. Before he burns to death because of gas spilling from the birds.(Hitchcock) This shows Melanie Daniels

    In "Bird by Bird" Anne Lamott is trying to teach how good writing is about telling the truth on the first day of workshop. "So you might start by writing down every single thing you can remember from your first few years of school." (Lamott 4). She teaches the students that its sometimes a easy way to start off with some of your memories that you can remember. Also you should not never worry if your writing is good or not because the only people who are going to see it is you and the teacher.

I learned that sometimes you just should just write what…

    “The free bird thinks of another breeze….a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams…” The two literary works “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” by Maya Angelou and Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird” can be seen as mockingbirds that have flown over fields of prejudice and repeat what they have seen for all to hear. Jem Finch, a young boy and lawyer’s son from “To Kill a Mockingbird” clearly symbolizes a mockingbird because of his youth and innocence, and because of his innocence he cannot fully understand the racism in the story. Jem also has many similarities to the caged and free birds in “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”, whether it be Jem’s innocence as a child or his realization of the reality of the world after watching a lawsuit of black versus white he always resembles one of the birds.…
