The idea of animals never giving up until they know it’s over is elaborated through two poems. The poem “ The Dying Eagle” by E. J. Pratt is a distinct example of an animal knowing when its time is over. The poet describes how an eagle lives its life. Although the eagle is aging physically, it still strives for that pride to reign over its kingdom. It has an encounter with a “foreign” invader.
