"Are you aweer, Mrs. Mann, that you are, as I may say, a porochial delegate, and a stipendiary?"

Guys help me with this essay topic.' if i am a bird'​
azamat

Answer:

If I were a bird, I would like to be one of the small species, cute and beautiful.

I would love to be a tiny maina who is beautiful, tiny and above all, it is a bird that man can keep as a pet. I would love to stay with men, study their ways and enjoy their company. This I would be able to do with men as, God has given the maina a power of speech just like men. It talks like a human being, has a sweet voice and, above all also has a great capacity to learn whatever it is taught.If I were to be a bird, I would like my life to be a beautiful blend of freedom of flying in the high skies and the love and care given by man. I see advantages in both and find it difficult to make a choice.

My ambition as a bird would be able to fly high as high can be, like any other bird. This would give me an insight into what all exists in the atmosphere. I would also be able to assess first hand, the life of birds as a community, the advantages and the disadvantages they live with. I would share my experiences with my kin and understand the difficult ways of life. I would attain knowledge of lives of birds big and small as I would move with them and conversing with them while flying high in the air, or sitting on trees with my other colleagues.

Though I would love all this, at the same time I would love to become a pet in a nice family. This family would keep me closed in a cage lest I fly off. Here, in the family I would learn to be controlled and restricted. It would be no doubt a punishment of sorts to be tied down in a cage but I feel so happy imagining the love and care I would get from each member of the family that would adopt me.

Here, at home, I would be served food in a platter, water in a dish in a right royal style. Aha! what a life that could be for me. Hunting for food and being frightened of bigger birds attacking me would not be a care for me. I would be a loved one of many – what a wonderful feeling it gives.

Think about Hester and Pearl. Think about how they are treated compared to how people are treated today. What are the similariti
katrin2010 [14]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

We are talking about Hester and Pearl, two characters of the novel "The Scarlet Letter," (1850) written by American writer Nathaniel Hawthorne.

In the story, Pearl and Hester are treated badly, and yes, we can say they were bullied.

Although the novel written by Hawthorne refers to the Puritans' time in Massachusetts, some things are similar in today's society. Bullying is still a big part of the school premises, where children bully other children that are different, shy, or behave in a peculiar way. Parents of these children could be aware of the situation but really do not show much interest in changing their children's attitude regarding bullying. Even worst, some parents think that this is a symbol that their children are stronger and more dominant than others.
