“A White Heron”“A White Heron” is a story that actually brings back memories and adventures of childhood, which most of us have experienced since children. All the details that make up the story, such as trees, birds and nature, take us back in time and remind us of some of the best moments we experienced as children. In the story written by Jewett we find a girl named Sylvia, very passionate about birds, trees and nature. He loves birds in general but has a special bond with a bird called the White Heron. Since living in nature, he has had time to analyze and learn about the behavior of birds, especially the White Heron. Furthermore, Sylvia had lived in a noisy city, but she decided that the best thing was to live and enjoy nature with her grandmother. He prefers nature to the crowded and noisy city that had been his life for many years and chooses to help his "friend" the white heron rather than the man who needed his help. In my article, I will argue that Sylvia helped the white heron, simply because she always thought that birds symbolized freedom, and she liked the way they moved freely in nature without any obligation, while humans are always busy and most of them don't have time to be happy and free and sometimes they can be violent and powerful just to achieve their goals. To begin with, from the way the author uses language to describe both Sylvia and The White Heron, we can actually perceive a first glance connection to the idea I choose to support, that is, freedom, symbolized by the bird, and the crowded artificial city, symbolized by the hunter. This connection is implemented by... in the middle of the paper... what I have argued is that Sylvia helped the bird or more specifically she helped "The White Heron" simply because birds symbolize freedom and humans symbolize violence and the desire to take away someone else's freedom, in our story the hunter wanted to take away the white heron's freedom. Even though the hunter offered her material goods just to tell him where the white heron was hiding, she decided not to take the risk of telling him. I believe the reason for her action is that she wanted to prolong the birds' freedom even though she had perhaps given up the great opportunity of marrying a "tall boy" and also profiting from material goods. From Sylvia's actions we can see that money is not always important in our lives, but sometimes the happiness of others is more important. He decided to give freedom to the bird that was hiding from the hunter and civilization.
