Chapter Essay: Sammy Boy's Journey To The Woods

Improved Essays
Sammy boy lived in a small town behind the mountains. One day, he decided to venture into the woods that were on the other side. He set off early in the morning and walked for hours, trekking up and down the hills, running happily through the fields, wadding across the river till he finally got to the woods.

He was very proud of having made such a long journey. The place was full of beauty and he wanted to see it all. He walked and walked, getting hold of small stones of different shapes and colorful leaves and picking up flowers for his mum, playing with some little squirrels and foxes, watching the birds on the branches.

But it wasn’t an appetizer. “Ouch!!” said one little eagle “I must have broken my beak. What the heck …”but he left the sentence unfinished because his sister shushed him with a slap of her wing and made him touch the button. So they knew the story of Sammy boy, his tears, the fish, the ants and the bear and they started to cry so loud that mother Eagle heard them and flew back as fast as she could thinking that her beloved were in danger. Instead she found five little beaks talking all together at the same time with tears in their eyes, showing her a bright red button “What is all this fuss about?” she asked them motherly while taking the button with one claw. And she knew the story of Sammy boy’s mum who was crying because she couldn’t find her boy. Mother eagle didn’t think it twice and flew a fast fly to where Sammy boy’s mum lived and dropped the button on her lap and she started to fiddle with it and while doing so the button told her the story of her boy, the fish, the ants, the bear and the

    In the novel, “In The Lake of the Woods” by Tim O’ Brien, Kathy, disappears mysteriously with little knowledge of where she had gone specifically, or if she was murdered. There are several theories that attempt to explain what happened to her and several of them lead to the conclusion that John had murdered her in a fit of rage in the middle of the night. Wade himself would most likely have blocked the memory of killing his wife out of his mind since he’s has a habit of doing this before. For example Wade was a war veteran who was serving during the My Lai Massacre and he had killed another soldier in the Charlie Company, his troop, but he had altered the memory to make it so he had been startled by Weatherby and he shot him as a reflex. Therefore,…

    Assuming Solomon Northup knew that the main audience would be northern white readers, I believe that his collaboration with editor David Wilson was a measure taken to ensure that the believability of his story could be bolstered by the aid of a white man’s insurance. Wilson offers preliminary notes for the reader, affirming that he accurately took down Northup’s dictations and pointing out that Northup’s story can be corroborated by public evidence. Wilson also offers his own endorsement of Northup and states his belief that the former slave “has adhered strictly to the truth.” As a precursor to what will follow, Wilson briefly identifies the setting of Northup’s tale in the “Pine Woods” and “Bayou Boeuf.…

    The natural reference to dusk which is the time from day to night foreshadows to the reader that the persona will experience a movement from purity to adulthood. Harwood uses the motif of time as a medium to express the child’s ignorance. The rhetorical question Where’s morning gone?” is representative of child’s state of mind prior to the loss of innocence as it reflects the child’s naivety of how time has passed. The child subconsciously mourns the loss of time and describes it as the “thing I cannot grasp or name” which reinforces the concept of childhood naivety. However, as the persona comes to terms with the realisation that each ‘morning’ does in fact slip away it implies the gain of wisdom and through this there is a tone of sadness and despondency shown through high modality terms such as “tears” and “stolen” emphasising the painful process of maturation.…
