Whir

Accordig to the Merriam-Webster the word whir is a intransitive word and means to fly revolve or move more rapidly. This word can be found in “ A jury of her peers” by Susan Glaspell and it says “ A tremendous stir inside there, another series of animal screams, the intermittent whirr of the reptile.“ This word means that the rattlesnake moved very rapidly. The author used this word in a way for us too see and feel how the rattlesnake was moving. I will use this word in my writing to describe when animals move fast.
