to their goal as a group. The crew commonly sees sea gulls near the dinghy and the gulls are a source of anger for the men. The men see the gulls as “gruesome and ominous” (1335) because the birds are “uncanny and sinister in their unblinking scrutiny” (1355). The gulls represent nature’s indifference to humans. The captain wanted to knock the bird away, but the dinghy could easily be capsized, so he was stuck powerless against the gulls. The gull sat down on the captain’s head as if the man was an

the fish we had onboard. It was just our luck that we caught a fish which came to the surface of the water at that time, and so a seagull dived for it, and we then had a seagull which woulnt let go of the fish so we had to reel them both in, and sea gulls can give quite a nasty nip. My uncle was also quite unnerved at being at the back of the boat with all of these birds flying over.

Anton Chekhov's The Sea Gull is a Russian comedy, despite some tragedy, written in the end of the nineteenth century regarding the drama revolving around a group of people living in the countryside. The characters face the lack of satisfaction in their lives as they fail to achieve their desires. The characters desires are most about success; they desire success in love and art. Since these characters are lacking at least one of these desires, they are thus left to be loathing their lack of success

The story starts as we are introduced to a young gull named Jonathan Livingston Seagull. He finds he is being oppressed by society because he finds the life of a typical seagull is disconcerting in its inane and tedious nature. In a rebellious move he begins to teach himself to fly at very high

main character leaves and afterward returns to. In both stories, this former group is concerned only with the immediate issues of life and does not have any higher purpose. Whereas Jonathan Seagull sees flight as the very reason for life, the other gulls in his flock use flight only as a means to obtain food, and stay alive longer.
