FLIGHT LITERATURE ESSAY WRITING (Lâm Đức Chí)

1.  What is your impression about the described scene?

From the described scene of the flight’s 2 first paragraphs, first of all, it shows us that there is a homing pigeon, a young plump bodied bird which is strutting and preening inside the dovecote, a tall  wire-netted  shelf  on  stilts.  This  scene  makes  us  think  that  this  pigeon  is  prosperous  and happy because it has a plump-body and its own home “dovecote”. However, the words “homing pigeon” shows us this pigeon is a kind of delivering message bird and this kind of bird often flies everywhere, usually from one place to the other places for message delivery. Furthermore, this pigeon is a kind of bird, it has wings, and it means this pigeon can fly anywhere it likes. But in the  “flight”  story,  the  pigeon  is  locked  in  the  dovecote  with  a  tall  wire-netted  and  this  scene makes us think about the imprisonment and the loss of freedom.

2.  Why  does  the  writer  devote  so  much  attention  to  a  description  of  the setting – and especially to the bird? What do the birds symbolize? 

The  writer  devotes  so  much  attention  to  a  description  of  the  setting  in  the  “flight”  story, especially to the birds because the author wants to show us the picture of  the  loss of freedom. 

Firstly, the writer describes  that there is a dovecote with  a tall wire-netted shelf on stilts, full of strutting,  preening  birds.  Then  the  writer  describes  the  beautiful  nature  around  “gazing  out beyond the dovecote into the landscape of a late afternoon. In folds and hollows of sunlight and shade, the dark red soil, which was broken into great dusty clods, stretched wide to a tall horizon. 

Trees  marked  the  course  of  the  valley,  stream  of  rich  green  grass  the  road”.  Both  of  these contrary descriptions not only show us that the birds have wings but they can’t fly because they are locked in the dovecote with a tall wire-netted but also show us that although the birds are surrounded by the beautiful views, but they cannot enjoy the view by flying around due to loss of freedom. From all the points above, we can infer that the birds  in the story symbolize  the loss of freedom, in contrast with their natural instinct.
