Question

In at least 150 words, explain what the hunter and the white heron symbolize in “A White Heron,” and how the relationship between these two concepts is developed in this excerpt.

Answer 1

What you can include in your 150 words writing is the following. Have in mind that the white heron represents the companionship of the natural world. So based on that the fluctuations we see in Sylvia's perspective on the heron represent shifts in her valuation of nature. The hunter represents the human companionship. The basis for this situation is the idea that Love makes people do all kinds of stuff even though they are not very smart. This demosnstrate that sylvia is a natural lover at heart until she meets the hunter.
