In “Golden Retrievals” the distrait storyteller paints a image in the reader’s head of how many objects he encounters and allows the reader to conceive of the Canis familiaris invariably trailing after a new object on a day-to-day footing. He “sniff [ s ] the air current, then/ [ is ] off again” ( 4-5 ) while the proprietor is “sunk in the yesteryear, half [ their ] walk, / thought of what [ the proprietor ] ne’er can convey back” ( 7-8 ) . In contrast to the Hawk, the Golden retriever is much more of a unworried character. The diction used in this verse form is much more energetic than the enunciation seen in “Hawk Roosting.” The storyteller speaks of things that remind the reader of Canis familiariss and their nature such as “Fetch, Balls and sticks, [ Bunnies ] , a squirrel” .
Hughes uses a dark tone to portray the hawk as a really powerful, wild, and sinister animate being. The Hawk provinces, “There is no sophism in my organic structure: / My manners are rupturing all heads-” ( 15-16 ) demoing how he views himself as a ruthless male monarch of the Earth and the “whole of Creation” ( 10 ) . In resistance to Hughes, Doty uses a more playful and distracted tone to picture a character who is concerned with fetching and is easy distracted because “Balls and sticks gaining control [ his ] attention/seconds at a time” ( 1-2 ) . The Dog views himself as a friend to its proprietor, and although the Dog is distracted with running, trailing squirrels, and fetching, the Dog besides is cognizant of its proprietor Doty uses the playful ideas of a Canis familiaris while Hughes contrasts with the blunt ideas of a dominating hawk. These opposing word pictures help the storytellers convey really different animalistic positions of the universe. While the Hawk views the universe with ownership, the Dog is easy distracted by go throughing objects and enjoys the small things in life.
