Stryker’s ability to see and draw connections between bird behavior and humanity is professional that makes "The Thing With Feathers" difficult to put down.

In Muellers poem "Hope‚" there are multiple uses of different imageries to make the poem more powerful for the reader. For example‚ the line "it shakes sleep from its eyes and drops from mushroom gills‚" is an example of tactile imagery because the poet tries to portray that hope lies within the gills of mushrooms which are under the mushroom head. There is hope within these gills because they are the smallest things and in order for the mushroom to survive‚ it mush drop from these gills into the

expanded to encompass films‚ such as‚ Twilight and Harry Potter‚ which enthrall the public. We can observe many aspects of gothic literature in “The Feather Pillow.” The gothic writer creates an ominous atmosphere that “is pervaded by a threatening feeling‚ a fear enhanced by the unknown” (Haris). We observed this on Quiroga’s short story “The Feather Pillow‚” when even the doctor is unable to know the protagonist sickness‚ he states‚ “She has a great weakness that I am unable

For‚ “A Dulcet Conscious Thing‚” I didn’t change too much when it came to the content. A general issue in my workshop was that the meaning of the poem was ambiguous‚ some found this a strength while others found this a weakness. From what everyone gathered‚ the poem is about Mother Nature‚ which isn’t too far off‚ but it’s not the meaning I associate with it.

I myself think it was both. If he hadn’t given up so easily or possibly gotten a second opinion‚ then she might’ve had a stronger chance of survival. Maybe if he had shown her more love and affection she wouldn’t have gotten sick to begin with. The Feather Pillow took me on a roller coaster ride‚ but
