    The birds first develops nascence and start attacking Melanie Daniels when she first arrives at Bodega Bay. Before she arrives to the small town, Melanie acts saccharine to Mitch because she thinks he appears handsome and poses as a pet shop employee.1 After dropping Love Birds off at Mitch Brenner’s house, the narcissist sets the birds down on a table, and quietly and unnoticeably leaves. She completes this so she surprises Mitch and Cathy, his dainty little sister, for the girl’s birthday.3 When returning to the boat, “…a bird attacks her head. The attack leaves a small cut on her forehead” so the laceration is easily treated after (Hunter 11). The seagull unexplainably attacks Melanie, which appears as the first bird attack to exist in Bodega Bay. When Melanie debates to go to Cathy’s birthday party, she decides to finally go. Melanie acts reluctant to attend Cathy’s birthday party because she does not want to intrude the party, she knows Lydia seems jealous, therefore does not want to abase her, and the only reason to go is to be with the man she met recently, Mitch.5 When Melanie finally goes, Cathy aims to hit a piñata when “A bird becomes aggressive and flies into Cathy while she is blindfolded” (Hunter 26). When Melanie decides to go to the party, she and Mitch talk and see seagulls coming towards the children, so she facilitates them and brings them to safety. One day, Lydia decides to visit her friend, Dan. When Lydia Brenner decides to visit Dan, “…she proceeds into the kitchen, and notices chipped tea cups, and proceeds into the house. She walks down the hallway and looks into Dan’s bedroom. She sees a…

    People search forever to find true love, but true love will never be found if you can’t find true love within yourself. In the poem “Monologue for an Onion”, by Suji Kwock Kim, the metaphor isn’t just about the onion it’s also about being loved. Everyone falls in love at least once. And this love feels everlasting and perfect, as if it’s never going to end. Then, when the moment of heartbreak happens, it feels as if the world is crumbling right in front of you. People have different ways of handling a broken heart. Whether it’s denial, anger, or sadness, the feeling of not being loved is surreal. In this poem, the onion is a man that is no longer in love with his significant other and tells how…

    Have you ever had a second thought of what is going on inside the brains of Crows and Ravens? You probably associate these animals with words such as pests, annoying or even filthy, but that's not necessarily true. Everyday we infer things by making predictions or assumptions based on clues and our judgements. This can be done by searching for clues such as actions, attitude, tone, or body language. These examples are used to help the reader comprehend the author's attitude towards their subject. Terry Krautwurst, author of “Brain Birds: Amazing Crows and Ravens” and David Shaw author of “A Soft Spot for Crows”, both display a positive attitude towards crows and ravens by using complementary language and focusing on the intellectual abilities…

    The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese was first recorded in 1605 in William Camden’s book of proverbs and has remained part of the misplaced work ethic ever since. The early bird gets the worm meaning it is best to start the day early and also not procrastinate on things. 'But the second mouse gets the cheese' meaning the first mouse got killed in the mousetrap and so you got rewarded for starting late or procrastinating. So let the other eager person screw up and then learn from their failure and then reap the reward.…

    Love Is Not All, or Is It?

    • 1260 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Love isn’t everything, it’s not food, beverages, sleep and it sure won’t act as a roof against the rain. Love cannot offer a sinking man in peril a life-saving “floating spar”. As he rises, he sinks, only to rise and sink again. Love cannot give the air we need to fill our “thickened lung”, it can not clean blood or heal broken bones. Yet for all the things love can’t do, a man without love is a man “making friends with death”. The lack of love alone in a difficult hour will pin you down by pain, whine for release or harass you by the power of past resolution’s. One might be driven to sell love for peace, trade their memories for a meal, but never give up love even if it was to release horrible pains or to get food to live.…
