Groaning he opened his eyes, shaking his head slowly as he did so. It took him a moment as he looked around at the cave, then he remembered. His eyes trailed down to see what had happened and the sight shocked him. He had buried the knife hilt deep in the top of the boar's skull, killing it, but this was not the sight that had shocked him. When they had crashed into the wall, the boar's tusks had speared right into the roots of the tree that had grown in the side of the wall, impaling him off the ground. The area around where he had been stabbed through by the tusk had been shattered apart in the collision, a flattened mess of blood and gore. He turned his eyes away from the sight, he couldn’t look at it. Instead he looked outside the cave,

During slavery, African Americans were treated as possessions in the same way that livestock were regarded as possessions. The hog symbolizes the awful, dehumanizing thinking behind slavery. In Jefferson’s trial, his defense attorney refers to him as a hog, “Gentlemen of jury...put a hog in the electric chair” (Gaines 15-16). A hog symbolizes how the whites in the community treated the blacks and how they think about them socially. A hog is a filthy animal, which in the time period of the 1940’s is how most whites viewed blacks, and believed that blacks were good for nothing but to work for the whites.

Something else quite terrifying and utterly disgusting, was the fact they cut out his heart and took it. I almost threw up at this point, so I asked him if he made any inferences. “Well, all his bone injuries point to him being beaten before his death. We also found a few cuts around his forearms, meaning he probably tried to defend himself. Another interesting thing we found was that one of his ribs are broken where it connects to his spine.

For my book report I read the book The Pigman by Paul Zindel. The book is about two sophomores named John and Lorraine who befriend a man named Angelo Pignati over the phone while they were prank calling random strangers with two friends from school. Each chapter of the book is written in the perspective of either John or Lorraine and they are telling the story on a school typewriter in their library. John started out in the first chapter and Lorraine took the second then John took the third and it went back and forth from there. The reason Mr.Pignati is dialed was very specific rather than random.

‘Narrative text relates a sequence of events’ (Gamble & Yates, 2013, p. 70). The narrative structure within We’re Going on a Bear Hunt is repetitive, with particular elements of the story reoccurring.

Though there are reoccurring and repetitive elements within the text, all narrative contains suspense and surprise (Gamble & Yates, 2013). The suspense is developed when the family find the bear and chases them home (Oxenbury & Rosen, 2009), which disrupts the repetitive nature of the book.
