Birds of Turkey

Examples of metaphor: "they come in a slow march, a band of three" Shaw is comparing the turkeys to a band, he is trying to set the scene, telling the reader/listener that the wild turkeys are together as they come in a "slow march".

"three emissaries of shadow" Shaw is saying the three turkeys are messengers of shadow (again, "shadow" = darkness = death). Examples…

I’m all set up I just made a call and I hear one, but it is so faint and far away I can't get my hopes up. It's my last time to turkey hunt for the season and I have not seen a thing. It's about 6:30am and early spring. What a beautiful day in the woods, I can smell the pine trees and hear the morning birds chirping. I make a call again, trying to mimic a female turkey.

Capybaras are the world’s largest rodent at one and a half to two feet tall at the shoulder, four feet in length, and up to 150 pounds. They were once thought to be related to beavers but it has been discovered that they are more closely related to the rat. They are simi-aquatic animals and use water to escape from predators. They can stay submerged for up to 5 minutes and can press their ears to their heads in order to keep water out. They eat grasses and aquatic plants and have special…

having no will of their own because their oppressor forces them into what to do. Moreover. the bird represents a slave, as it is shut in its cage.
