Ducks

states that wood floats, however not all wood floats. Woods like Lignum Vitae sinks in water (Vincent, 2008). Sir Bedevere goes on to explain that ducks also float on water and therefore, anything that weighs the same or less than a duck, floats, and is therefore made of wood, which burns, and since witches burns, if the woman weighs the same or less than a duck, then she is a witch. The argument lacks the formality of deductive arguments, seeing as the first premise, witches are made of wood,…

the lake was going to ruin our fun. Thirty minutes, we harassed the ducks for thirty minutes. They were worthy adversaries, seeing that we didn't get close to catching even the slowest of the flock. The worst that came of the whole ordeal was when John yelled, "Get over here you craven animals, only the brave face their demise with out fear!". John knew his yelling wasn't going to coerce the fleeing ducks to come back, they were done being alienated by a bunch of obnoxious teens.…

When he was young and the family's duck call business was starting up his dad was a commercial fisherman. He would ride with his mom to the fish market to sell fish. When he was about 18 he met a couple guys in high school and decided to hang with them and things got ugly. He was using lots…

This quote was interesting because it revealed a more childish and curious side to Holden’s typical angsty character. Salinger uses the ducks in the pack as a metaphor to represent change, something Holden fears, due to them migrating during different seasons. Holden question of where will the ducks go, is actually a question for his future after running away from Pencey. This resonates with since I share the same question of “What will happen to me in the future” due to college being just…

movie be a little different. I thought it was kind of funny how he first addresses the sailors as little ducks. If you think about it the Captain in the movie could be like a mommy duck. Why do I say this well, let’s look at this a momma duck keeps her ducklings in order and always looking out for them. So the Captain is the head duck in charge but also looks after the safety of his crew (little ducks). That first line made me laugh so this is why I choose this speech.…

smart, funny, and a light to the Caulfield family. The question, “where do the ducks go?” arises because the ducks represent Holden and his confusion of what to do after his brother died. It is winter in New York and the winter represents the “hard times” or Allie’s death in this case. However, unlike Holden, the ducks know where to go or what to do when the times get tough. That is why he is so crazy about the ducks. Also when Holden gets dead drunk with Carl Luce, he hits rock bottom. In his…

“The truth is out there.” This might be the tagline from the popular 1990 TV series The X-files, but if you do your due diligent search on-line, you can come up with numerous credible and trustworthy sources. The problem is that the internet contains an overabundance of sites, that just like The X-files, are made up of decent writing and a great deal of imagination. Our world of copious information is just a click away, so as I clicked away at the suggested sites, I found myself quite amused at…

From the moment we are born we interact with many different people and things that have influence over our lives. Most people are not much different from a fallen leaf that blows down the street in front of you: they reside in your presence for only a brief snapshot in time. The encounters are without meaning or consequence. Fortunately many of us have dearly loved people and companions in our lives that are too special to let them go. My sweet dog Katie was just such a creature. In many ways…
