sprouted from the constantly expanding lineage of the Mammalian family‚ the hedgehog and the armadillo are also separated by millions of years of evolution. The choice in animals for the poems did not fall under the laws of natural selection‚ they were hand selected to represent the separate‚ yet connected underlying messages.

In her poem “Dead Armadillos‚” she points out the way the society looks at animals and how they give importance to them. Gail White was able to bring attention to the status of animals in the wild by using armadillos as a representation of them‚ and telling how the majority of the society gives little importance to them by using similes and giving the poem a sarcastic tone. White used similes to compare armadillos to a “blind knight” (l.9)‚ like medieval knights‚ armadillos are covered in armor

The Nine-Banded Armadillo! Armadillos have one of the highest rates of expansion being 10 times the active rate of a mammal.

The geologists only know that the tunnels were inhabited by large groups of armadillos or sloths. The walls and the ceilings of most of the tunnels are smooth and polished. This may be a result of the friction of the fur of the animals‚ which moved through the paleoburrows for several decades or maybe even several centuries. Nowadays

Skunk Hour by Robert Lowell and The Armadillo by Elizabeth Bishop are very similar poems. The two poems have the theme and title of an animal. One of the contrasts that I could pick out between the two poems is: The Armadillo depicts a creature who cannot understand the events destroying its life‚ whereas the speaker in Skunk Hour recognizes the events affecting its life. Using the skunk character as a descriptive element in his poem‚ Robert Lowell increases the space between the character and the

December 2012 A Prayer for Owen Meany A Prayer for Owen Meany is a tale with many symbolic and memorable acts. To me‚ the most memorable part (or scene‚ if you will) is when Owen Meany removed the claws off the armadillo. This was significant because of the symbolic meaning the armadillo had to John and Owen. It was an animal the two held very close to their hearts. The act of removing the claws caused a stir and created many mixed emotions from many of the characters. Ultimately‚ the removal of
