A CHILD'S VIEW
In Thomas Wolfe's The Child by Tiger (reprinted in Thomas R. Arp and Greg Johnson, Perrine's Literature: Structure, Sound, and Sense, 9th ed. [Boston: Wadsworth, 2006] Page 625).

Throughout this story it is implied he is life a swift and large tiger. His character is surely like a cat when described as " Looking before us, sometimes, seeing nothing but the world before us, suddenly we felt a shadow at out backs and, looking up, would find that Dick was there."
