    Wolves are approaching Georg and Ulrich. They are scared to death because the wolves are near them, because Georg does not move and Ulrich can not see he has his eyes full of blood, but they have rifles in their hands; however, the problem is that both are very hurt and only Georg can see why Ulrich can not move. Ulrich, desperate to survive, tries to free himself from the tree. He began begging Georg for help moving the tree, “Georg, help me, help me!!!” The Wolves, hungry for Georg’s blood, begin running towards them. Both Ulrich and Georg begin screaming together for their men to help them. “Help! Someone help us! Quick! Vicious Wolves are about to attack! Help! Please! The wolves are approaching them and the only one who see the wolves is Georg. That's why Ulrich is asking for help for this in a situation. Georg says, “I see a lot of wolves; they are so close to us we have to move quick!”aski He asks Ulrich, “if you help me move I tell you where to go so we can get away from the wolves a bit” Georg told Ulrich, “You drag me across the floor. I will try very hard to shoot at the group of wolves to drive them away from us.” He said, “You keep walking and do not stop screaming for help. I will still try very hard to keep the group of wolves away from us!” Ulrich says, “If we survive, we will not fight on this land again.” Georg says, “Look where we at just fighting for these pieces of land. I understand that it was not worth it.” Ulrich says, “I understand…

    Saki’s novella, “The Interlopers”, explores the intricacies of friendship and rivalry. The story takes place in a European forest one night during the winter. The setting of the story is analogous to the plot; the trees have to bind together for warmth to brave the fierce winter, the same way Ulrich and George have to work together to survive. The exposition does a wonderful job of building suspense by telling of the feud between the two families. The feeling of impending doom increases as…

    Authors often convey a message throughout their stories . Saki’s story “ The Interlopers” suggest that you should forgive your enemy before it is too late.

Georg relents and says “ Ulrich von Gradwitz, I will be your friend” (3). Yet…

    What makes the ending of “The Interlopers” surprising is the last word “wolves”, because the author makes this story with irony. The author does prepare me for the ending by having the story say “Are they your men?” asked Georg, “are they your men” he repeated impatiently, as Ulrich did not answer. “No” said Ulrich with a laugh, the idiotic chattering laugh of a man unstrung with hideous fear. “Who are they” asked Georg quickly, straining his eyes to see what the other would gladly not have…

    In the beginning of the two texts “A Poison Tree” by William Blake and “The Interlopers” by Saki, the main characters chose to ignore their anger rather than deal with it in a healthy manner. In “The Interlopers” the two main characters Ulrich and Georg have an enemy like relationship because of a long family feud due to Georg’s family poaching on Ulrich’s land. These two have never had an actual conversation about the feud and how to resolve it “the feud might, perhaps, have died down or been…

    The theme in Saki’s, “The Interlopers” is better than Dahl’s, “The Lamb to Slaughter” because the theme is easier to understand. In the story “ The Interlopers” both characters start off the story with a very deep hatred for each other and this is very obvious. Saki says, “ The neighbor feud had grown into a personal one since Ulrich had come to be the head of the family; if there was a man whom he detested or wished ill to it was Georg Znaeym ( Saki 1)”. These two men have had a big family…

    “The Interlopers” is a story about two men, Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym, whose feelings for each other change during the story. At the beginning of the story Ulrich and Georg hate each other, but during the story they learn that sometimes it’s good to let go of the past. This shows that the men were letting the past influence their opinions of each other, and the fact that they change so dramatically during the story is surprising. This story is a also a good example of irony. The theme…

    What would the world be like if the only food eaten was dictated by the social class system? What if only the rich could have Starbucks because they could afford to pay for their tiredness? Well, the Elizabethan Era social class system of 1558-1603 did exactly that; it dictated the diet of the poor and the wealthy. Similar to today, meal plans of the Elizabethan Era followed a strict and structured format that included multiple meals per day (Alchin 5). All social classes ate the three usual…
