I have made an edit for my ENGL1102.69 class. I am not sure which article I was assigned. -You are working on "A White Heron" Pindham (talk) 16:13, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Feb 14th, 2019. In the article assigned, it told of the dangers of plagiarism and what was considered plagiarism and what wasn't. They wrote about how to reference sources properly without stealing from original authors. They defined plagiarism as directly copying the original resource without referencing them, quoting without citation, and just barely changing the structure of a sentence to make it your own. -You are working

Hamon's Sandbox

Feb 21st, 2019 In the essay I found says offers multiple possible themes for The White Heron. Many people consider it a modern fairy tale where the young girl denies being rescued by a princely figure. Another is that she has fallen in love with the nature and feminine symbols in her home. It points out that there are many different symboligies and this leads to many different themes along with the ambiguous ending.

March 7, 2019. In the White Heron there is a lot leaning on symbolism. There are strong elements of adulthood and preserving of innocence. The young heroine is faced with the choice between showing the ornithologist where the white heron is or saving the creature from being shot. IN the end she chooses not to show the man where the bird is. In many articles I found, that the gun represents the man's penis and the bird represents the girl's virginity and innocence. By shooting the bird the man would be in effect shooting her innocence. At first the girl is shy of the stranger in the woods. Then she is charmed by the man and is very pleased with his presence. This poem symbolizes the challenge of abstinence that women specifically were expected to take on less the a hundred years ago. The white heron is chosen, because the color white usually symbolizes purity and the woman wearing white on her wedding day symbolizes that she has kept her virginity.
