“The Hundredth Dove”
What would it be like to live in the wild catching birds to stay alive? Well that is what the short story the “Hundredth Dove” is about. There is a man named Hugh who must catch one hundred doves for his king.
In this story I think it follows the comedy plot line. The reason I think it follows the romance plot line is because it is realistic. Hugh is also loyal to his king and he likes the king’s girlfriend. Hugh is also frightened by liking the king’s girlfriend because of what the king would do to him if he did like her. Once Hugh leaves the castle he goes in the forest to go catch the doves.
Hugh catches 21 doves the first time but there was a white bird that snuck threw they net. Then the second time he caught 20 more birds this was the same five more times. Except for the last time he caught 20 but the white dove got away again. This reminds me of when I was trying to catch my dog. I was running at my dog and my dog ran the opposite way I could not catch her no matter how hard I tried she always got away.
In conclusion I think the hundredth dove was a good story and I will gladly read it again. So what would it be like to catch birds in the wild to stay alive?
