  1. I think that the most important point are when Bean said "you know, Ty, if it hadn't been Luke Alford and his boy and those other men working for R.J Munroe it would have been some body else who shot up that rookery . it was only a matter of time" i chose that one because bean was saying that it was going to happen sometime but fate had Tyler say where the rookery was. i think the point that Tyler got out of the talk was being told that it wasn't his fault because it was going to happen sometime.

  2. I think the most important part was when Bean said" AS long as those birds have a price on their heads, there'll be somebody comin' round to collect it. They'll find 'em and shoot 'em till there aren't any left to shoot." I chose that one because Bean is saying that the birds are going to die off and people won't notice if they die off because there to busy shooting them.

I chose that because he was saying that it would have got found at some time anyway but fate told him to tell him about the rookery.

  5. The point is that the plume hunters are killing the birds so fast, that they won't know they have died off and still be looking for them but cant hind any.
