The Yellow Cather Research Paper

Decent Essays
Two Yellowhammer birds stay perched upon their nest. The nest feels dry and crisp under their talons being that it is made of torn up and picked grass. Slowly the nest is turning a brownish color as the grass brittles and dies. The smell of dying grass and the chirping of nearby birds doesn’t seem to bother the two, as one bird appears to have his eyes closed. Their brown and yellow feathers glistens in the warm summer sun. The yellowhammer with his eyes closed hangs from the outside of the nest and relaxes. The other bird; however, is perched inside of the nest, alert and ready.

    The narrator opened the door a second time when the bird flew in, “Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door— / Perched, and sat, and nothing more.” The bird acted like a normal bird, he did not look different from any other bird, he was just a normal bird, nothing to make him seem imaginary. It can also be easy to believe that the bird was real because the narrator did not act out of the ordinary when the bird showed up, “Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust, and door;” He strangely looked at the bird but never acted out of the ordinary until he realized the bird was a figment of his imagination. This poem made it difficult to pick a side on whether the dark-colored bird was real or if it was being made up by the narrator.…
