They went “ Honk,honk.” “Where’re they going? I said. Why would so many birds go in one direction?” “It’s a sign,” Jim said gazing with an amazed look. “ When chickens fly in the same road. It’s the same way birds would go. “ I raced over to the canoe, I grasped the gun, I got back to the spot where the birds were flying. I was about to target the birds when Jim stopped me. “ Knock it off Huck o’ boy,” Jim said angrily “ It’s death. Me father got really sick once. When me granny asked me brothers what happened my brotha’s said some of them caught a bird. My grandma said my Pa’s gonna die and my pa did. I don’t want to you harm those birds.” …show more content…

“ Whatever, Jim. I’ll try to see if what you're saying about bees are true. I said.

“It’s true Huck.” Jim said. “Trust me this saying makes sense.”

I went to the canoe boat grabbed a sheet of tablecloth and a gun. I stomped off to try if Jim’s saying true. “Geeze whatever he’s saying makes no sense at all.” I muttered under my breath. I crossed the woods and reached a beehive. I hit the beehive with the gun. A swarm of bees came out ready to attack me. I raced away with them chasing me. I ran off into a hidden passage in the woods. Then I held the tablecloth in front of me, with my hands grasping the top edges of the cloth. I waved at them and somehow I didn’t get bad luck. I waved at the bees again, they’re not harming

    In his short poem “To Waken an Old Lady,” William Carlos Williams writes about the disturbing subject of old age by representing old age through a series of actions that are typical of birds. Furthermore, the narrator 's use of figurative language and poetic structure contributes to the horrifying idea that death is bound to happen. Essentially, the speaker makes an attempt to show that the difficulties of old age shouldn’t leave a person feeling hopeless for life. The poem begins with the metaphor “old age is/ a flight of small/ cheeping birds” which puts forth the idea that old age can be illustrated through birds (lines 1-3).…

    It was during this time that Huck was considering writing to Mrs. Watson to tell her where Jim was. Instead of writing the letter, Huck’s internal conflict took over, “But somehow I couldn't seem to strike no places to harden me against him, but only the other kind. I'd see him standing my watch on top of his'n, 'stead of calling me, so I could go on sleeping; and see him how glad he was when I come back out of the fog; and when I come to him again in the swamp, up there where the feud was; and such-like times; and would always call me honey, and pet me and do everything he could think of for me, and how good he always was; and at last I struck the time I saved him by telling the men we had small-pox aboard, and he was so grateful, and said I was the best friend old Jim ever had in the world, and the only one he's got now; and then I happened to look around and see that paper” (209). Huck, who was once mistrusting of Jim, has now developed a deeper friendship with Jim. Huck cannot get over the fact that Jim has called him his “best friend old Jim ever had in the world, and the only one he's got now”.…
