Moving from one place to the next is tough, just like the caged bird. It is even more tough for him because he can not fly and be free, unlike some of us like me. I can go outside when I want but this bird does not have this luxury . The little girl is sick and at home with a fever and because of this she can not go autside, so she is not free.

    “Nesting Time”, a poem by Douglas Stewart combines an anecdote of his and his daughters experience in nature, with description of the appearance and behavior of the honey-eater, and his typical philosophical reflection in the relationship of nature and man. The poem is thus personal, objective and universal in its several dimensions. This is a charming poem that appears to comment on Stewart’s personal experience. He is pleasantly surprised by the behavior and appearance of this remarkable bird, which makes him forget the ‘hard world’, focus on its tiny beauty and cause him to reflect on humankind and nature. The opening is impassioned in its generalizing quality: ‘Oh never in this hard world’. It is apparent from this judgment that Stewart, in regarding our human life as a difficult and unconsoling affair, finds profound solace in nature and her creatures. The reader notices the contrast between his heartfelt “Oh” and absolute indictment of ‘never’, and the cluster of adjectives, with internal rhyme, which introduces the bird: ‘absurd/Charming utterly disarming little bird’. His love for it grows from an initial acknowledgment of its silliness and, then, praise of its captivating behavior to, finally, and adoring diminutive in ‘little’. It is Stewart’s descriptive language that brings the scene to visual life. The bird’s actions and purpose are highly visual through the often…

    There is an idea that says one will never fully understand another’s plight until he or she walks in their shoes. When watching the film Under the Same Moon, or La Misma Luna, viewers gain a sense of what it means to be an undocumented immigrant from Mexico in the United States. The audience travels many miles with nine-year-old Carlitos Reyes in his journey across the border to reunite with his mother Rosario, who is working without documentation in California to provide a better life in the United States for her son someday (Riggen, 2008). Viewers not only realize how risky it is to cross the border, but also observe a sense of white racial superiority in the United States through the characters’ points of view.…

    “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” This quote is found in chapter 3 of our textbooks by Les Brown. The meaning of this chapter speaks about the benefits of setting short and long term goals, the aspects of effective goals, the importance of goal progress and some of the best ways to fight against procrastination. This chapter has given me the most information out of the rest. I feel that these topics are all important for each college student, because in order to get homework done you need to know how to study, work and not procrastinate.…

    The bird represent the joyful life Mrs. Wright wants and use to have, and for Mr. Wright it represents his cruelty and abuse. The bird sings and provides warmth and joy for Mrs. Wright. The bird is a sign of cheerfulness in a bleary home. Mrs Hale states, "He didn't drink, and kept his word as well as most, I guess, and paid his debts. But he was a hard man, Mrs. Peters. Just to pass the time of day with him--." She stopped, shivered a little. "Like a raw wind that gets to the bone." Mr. Wright strangles the bird, once again neglecting his wife, trapping his wife in a bleary place, and being cruel and abusive.…

    The bird was like Minnie Foster. The bird is trapped in the birdcage just like how Minnie is trapped in her bad marriage. The sheriff’s wife said, “She--come to think of it, she was kind of like a bird herself.” This is quite ironic because she symbolizes the bird and the bird is later found dead, just like her soul. Minnie Foster is just like the trapped bird in the cage because she was trapped in a bad marriage.…
