The Theme of My Life As A Bat is that bats are treated horribly by humans.
<span>In lines 21-29 Atwood states "I have recurring nightmares. In one of them I am clinging to the ceiling of a summer cottage, while a red-faced man in white shorts and a white V-neck T-shirt jumps up and down hitting me with a tennis racket. </span>
These lines are a reference to how humans treat bats. The man is trying to get rid of her because he feels as if he is in danger. Atwood uses the line "hitting me with a racket" to show how she was treated. He does not care for her well being, he just wants to get rid of her.
<span>Bats are seen as objects more than the wonderful and interesting creatures they are. We as humans should try and inform others more on how bats are not as dangerous as they seem.</span>
D. Examine her own perception and then check in with Ivan about his behavior
The question asks about what Tamara should to do better interpret the situation and communicate appropriately. In order for her to better interpret the situation she needs to examine her own perception. Why does she feel that Ivan is unusually quiet? Does she truly think that it is directed towards her? Then she should check in with him. Telling him that he's being inconsiderate as option A suggests is not helpful. Option B also does not solve the problem either. And if Ivan is going through something, offering him help or support may be what he needs. Option C is also not correct because Tamara should not be providing therapy and she doesn't even know what is going on.
This question is rather old but I always make up a new answer when I scroll by it >w<
Animals can in fact understand us humans and other animals. They show this by reactin to us with body movements and sounds. I don’t believe that they understand our language, but they understand our tone of voice and behavior. Aka, why we are able to train animals :)
