Chapter Nine

Please reread pages 87 and 88.  Yes, go back and reread them now.  Do it.  

On these pages, after Tyler questions him, Mr. Strawbridge defends his decision to kill birds, explaining how and why it is different from what the plume hunters do. How does he claim it is different, therefore making it okay to do?

  1. It is different because he is killing them so they can record them and put them in places around the world.

  2. It is different because Mr. Strawbrige is saying that he works for scientists to gather information before the birds die of exstinction.

  3. But he is receiving money, just like the plume hunters. Doesn't that make it very similar?

  4. its different because Mr. Strawbridge kills them to sent their hides all around the world to get money and hunters use their feathers to get money but Mr. Strawbridge isnt lieing to people because hunters dont tell people they killed birds for the feathers they put in the womwns hats and Mr. Strawbridge is killing them for a museum because he thinks that the land will become farm land.
