Nat From The Story 'The Birds'

I couldn’t help but feel a connection between the character Nat from the story “The Birds”. I also had an experience similar to Nat when he had the sense of not knowing what was going to happen next fear of the birds when they attacked his house and family. My experience took place in India when I had an encounter with a stray dog.
During the summer of 2008 my family and I took a trip to India to visit our family and friends. In India it is common to see stray dogs walking on the streets. My cousin and I had gone out in the morning to take a walk around the neighborhood. As we were walking, we approached a group of five or six dogs. Usually we wouldn’t be intimidated if we walked past stray dogs, but this was different. The dogs were growling as we approached and the closer we got, the more hostile the dogs got. Just as we were about to cross to the other side of the street to avoid the pack of dogs, they started barking at us, and the first thing we did was start running across the street to get away. …show more content…
It was fairly early in the morning so there wasn’t really anyone to help us. We kept running as the dogs got closer and closer. We didn’t get very far until one of the dogs got a hold of my lower leg and bit right into it. The pain surged up my leg and I didn’t know what to do, neither did my cousin. I kicked my leg out and the dog let go and by this time there were some people who were also walking that came over and got rid of the dogs. We barely made it back home with my leg dripping with blood and the throbbing pain. I had to get a large bandage and three shots after that incident and I’ll never forget
