Considered by many to be the, “Most talented Rapper of his Generation,” Kendrick Lamar has become extremely influential and popular since the release of his hit album Good Kid, M.A.A.D City (Stone). It is this great influence around which his second and most recent album, To Pimp A Butterfly, is based. Throughout the album Lamar struggles in dealing with his wealth and influence: each song is a slow progression from an abusive, wealthy consumer to a wiser man who understands the good he can do…

The choice of animals in the tale of Hummingbird and Fly is interesting. Buzzards are known to be like hawks, vultures, and falcons. They are scavengers and they consume the things they scavenge, which separates them from animals that decompose dead organisms.

The buzzards are meant to represent the Europeans who came to the Americas and…

Pontellier. Kate Chopin, in her book The Awakening, utilizes various metaphors of birds to symbolize Edna on her journey, revealing the theme that freedom comes with a price.

She feels trapped in her marriage by her husband and kids,…

Big Bird Imagine being a fledgling, soaring through the sky, the wind fluttering through your feathers. Complete freedom. Then suddenly, the cool autumn breeze turns into a slicing gust of winter air. You become sick and cold. You realize you are alone in the world and have nowhere to go. This is how I found my soon to be budgie. It was the beginning of winter, just before a harsh cold front hit, when I found and rescued a sickly budgie from the forces of Mother Nature, just a year ago.…

In "words are birds" Francisco X. Alarcón uses many metaphors comparing words to birds to suggest that words, although many and vastly different, all fall under one category and unite us all. The poem begins by giving the reader an overview of how words and birds are related: "words / are birds / that arrive / with books / and spring" (1-5). The correlation between words and books is obvious, as they are often put together, but the author is comparing words to spring as well to show that we use…

Colella writes that in the film the Birds serve as a symbol for fear and death and this symbolism is most obviously found in the parlor scene where Norman and Marion are getting to know each other. At first the conversation is light and friendly and the way the shot is composed reflects this…
