Mechanical Hound (Lesllie)




My opinion of the mechanical hound is that I think it is very useful but then again it isn’t because it is hurting someone that has no reason to be hurt in that way. And well the good thing about it is that it does work that us humans don’t want to do. I don’t consider it a symbol. Because anyone could have a different picture of what it means and different beliefs of what it really means. I do find ironic qualities in the hound because in our world normally a dog is a guys everything or loyal friend who they can count on of that is just someone too have around just so you wouldn’t get that lonely feeling. But in the story it is it the total opposite it is used for killing anything that is not doing what its suppose to and for it too do the humans dirty work so us humans don’t have to get our hands dirty doing what they seem to be taught to do. The hound could be a humans worst friend and there is irony in that sentence because in our world is the total opposite , in the book they are treat to kill and serve there owner or department and accomplish the job and normally a dog is a great friend to any human being especially kids.
