The First Hunt - 1449 Words

The First Hunt Imagine having the feeling of complete serenity as you lay still waiting; listening to every broken stick, crushed leaf, and bird chirp. Waiting for the footsteps of a deer or the image of one in the distance to fill your veins with adrenaline which gives you that feeling you dream about. All this leading up to one pull of a trigger, sending a message to your brain that tells you you’ll be a hunter for the rest of your life. This image was a very important part of my life.

This is an interesting idea and could be a due to his religious beliefs. In the poem, the animals are not described as evil. The fox is described as cunningRead MoreThe Case Of Darryl Hunt943 Words   |  4 PagesThe case of Darryl Hunt was an example of racial in justice in the state of North Carolina.

The longest section of the poem combines the scenes of Bertilaks hunt with those of Gawain and the lady in the bedroom. It seems we are meant to draw some sort of connection between the two events. There appears to be some kind of parallel between the hunt during the day and what happens in the bedroom that same day.
