rash! Bang! Swoosh! A puff of blue smoke shot out of the door of Wizard Snodgrass’s cottage in Snoozy Woods.
Snax the cat, who had been sitting on the doormat enjoying a bit of sunshine, quickly jumped under a large toadstool growing near the flower bed.

An angry shout was heard from inside the cottage. Two dirty-looking shoes with their laces flapping in the air went flying by.

The birds in the nearby trees flew into the air with a loud swark.

Mr Owl, sitting on a branch nearby, just tutted. He knew what the trouble was. Things had to change. “Twit twoo,” he muttered and flew away.

We love them so much, and we like their new names,” said Amy.
Jeremy laughed and said, “Lefty and Righty, you cannot blame each other now!”
Mr Owl was to be the messenger once again. It was very lucky he enjoyed delivering invitations.

Invitations were being sent to Wizard Willoughby, Cosmo, the Dust Pups, and all their friends. Everyone was invited!
Sammy Snail could not believe it. “So kind,” he said, slithering along in excitement.
The party was to be held at Wizard Snodgrass’s cottage in the garden, and it was going to be wonderful.

A few weeks later, they all enjoyed a good party. There were games, music and dancing, and plenty of food to eat. Everyone remarked on how lovely it was
The Shuffles – Lefty and Righty – decided to do a little jumping dance. Everyone wanted to join in. They began to jump up and down. It went something like this:
Lefty Lefty – Stamp Stamp Righty Righty – Stamp Stamp
Lefty – Stamp Righty – Stamp Lefty – Jump Righty – Jump

Shake your laces in the air!
Turn around if you dare!

Everyone thought it was so funny and could not stop laughing at each

    The father is portrayed as powerless “robbed of power by sleep”. The owls itself is portrayed as very high and powerful, it doesn’t flutter into the barn…it swoops in and stays “on a high beam” where it can view and be master of all. Sensory language such as “urine scented hay” increases the suspense of the poem. The child is also portrayed as a powerful figure “master of life and death” a “wisp haired judge” but one does get the idea that her power is foolish and evil.…

    A Child Called “It” by David Pelzer is his own autobiography of his life as a child being abused by his alcoholic mother, Catherine Roerva Pelzer, who isolates him from the family, then abuses him, and nearly killed him through starvation, poisoning, and once stabbing him. Since Mother starved him for days, he began to steal food in order to survive, and when she finds out he has stolen food, she abuses him with her own “games”. Dave reflects on the “good times” in his childhood, because Mother was once a wonderful, loving mom, but the drinking habit, illness, and Father being gone took over her life, leaving both emotional and physical scars on her child which will haunt him for life. His father, Stephen Joseph Pelzer, a fireman in San Francisco, is a frightened man who as watches Dave is beaten, starved, and humiliated. Mother has stopped calling him by name; instead she would refer him as “the boy” to “it”. He was starved for 10 consecutive days, stabbed, forced to eat his brother’s diaper and a spoonful of ammonia, burned over a gas stove, stayed in the bathroom with ammonia resulting in a near fatal outcome, smashed his face into the mirror while screaming "I'm a bad boy", lying in the bathtub naked with freezing water for hours.…

    Ultima's owl is a mysterious character that is talked about throughout Bless Me, Ultima. Often it is referred to by the antagonist Tenorio as a brujas tool. However it is a symbol of Ultima and her kindness, which is interesting since the owl is a symbol of witchcraft in Native American culture. This is probably where Tenorio founded his accusations. The owl is her “bond to the time and harmony of the universe” because here mentor, who was a wise and kind man, told here it was. The owl is a gateway of sorts for Ultima to connect to the spirit world. If the owl dies, so does Ultima.…
