“Animals” (128), a perfectly apt description of the boys that drove to Greasy Lake at night. Much different from the boys that drove away the following morning. This sudden change within the boys is exemplified between the two interactions with the girls up at Greasy Lake. The stark contrast between the animalistic urges and restrained behavior exhibited between the two moments show the sudden character change within Digby, Jeff, and the narrator. The sudden realization of that night, the…

My sister, Chloe, has wanted a dog for as long as I can remember. Even at the age of three, she would always watch the cartoons with puppies in them, sometimes even have a fit when they were not airing. She would also always ask me for help when she wanted to prove she could take care of a dog, since I am pretty smart and have straight A's. Honestly I did not want to help her, because the truth is I hate dogs. I’ve seen what animals like these could do to people, so I don’t want to be near them.…

Owls, hawks, and eagles are types of raptors, animals which have hooked beaks and sharp claws, and are therefore adapted for seizing prey animals. Hawks and eagles differ from owls in that they eat their prey animals by tearing them into small pieces, picking out the flesh and avoiding most of the bone material which they might eat. The relatively small amount of indigestible bone and fur that remain will be compacted by their stomach muscles into a pellet similar to the owl’s. Do you think an…

Melinda thinks to herself, “It looks like a dead tree, toothpicks, a child’s drawing. I can’t bring it to life. I’d love to give it up” (78), which shows that even though she wants to give up on it, she does not; instead, she sticks with it. Melinda realizes she does not include any emotion in her trees,…

grandfather’s avocado tree relating to his own life. The first literary device used to show passage of time is imagery and symbolism. In the passage, Soto says, “His favorite tree, the avocado, which had started in a jam jar from a seed and three toothpicks lanced in its sides, rarely bore fruit,” (Paragraph 2, Soto). This shows a rough start with little resources to foster a life. “Grew from a jam jar,” represents the poor family background. The start of this avocado’s life closely mirrors…
