Blue Persistence Text Analysis


In the silent crescent moon air, 

A blue jay soars.---Going somewhere.

No reasoning. No purpose. 

She just soars.

No place. No physical spot,

But she knows where she's going.---Determined for her expedition.

Faith rests upon her soft blue wings,--She is faithful and confident in herself.

And they let her fly. ---Her confidence and faith helps her with her journey.

She flies to places where all the other birds told her she couldn’t go.---She wants to prove the birds wrong.

When she is perched proudly on top of a mountain, she chirped a prevailing chirp.—The blue jay accomplished her goal and was proud.

The other birds flew to the lowest branch of their grounded tree.--- The other birds weren’t so special anymore because they had a bad attitude that brought them down, hence the lowest branch.

Meanwhile, the blue jay remained on top of the tall mountain.--- She was strong willed and had a good attitude, so that benefitted her and put her in a "high" place. 


 This blue jay is strong and persistent. She’s been put down and has been told “No, no, no!”. The blue jay wants to be her own being and she wants out of the flock. When the blue jay begins to soar, as we see in the second line, we can tell she is determined to go somewhere even though she doesn't have an exact destination. In the line "faith rests upon her soft blue wings", that tells us that the blue jay is confident in herself.

 It’s common to be put down or discouraged by others.With that, the discouragement motivates that person, or being, to go and do exactly what they were told they couldn'tThere is a line that says"she flies to places where all the other birds told her she couldn't go".This line reveals why the blue jay felt proud on the mountain and it even explains the following line which was "she chirped a prevailing chirp".

 When it said "the other birds flew down to the lowest branch of the tree", that isn’t just about how they simply moved their position, it was about how their attitude brought them down and no place special. The blue jay had a strong willed, determined spirit, so that’s why she was tall on top of the mountain.
