I think the purpose of moral education is to help make children virtuous—honest, responsible, and compassionate. Another is to make mature students informed and reflective about important and controversial moral issues. Both purposes are embedded in a yet larger project—making sense of life.
Title: A Wide Eyed Owl
Poem: A Wide Eyed Owl
I'm a wide eyed owl,
With a beak for a nose.
I've got tufts on my ears
And talons for toes.
I sit in a tree and I watch for you,
Then I flap my wings and say,
T'wit t'woo, t'wit t'woo!
Answer:
Brian is calm when he faces the wolf because he has adapted to his new environment.
Explanation:
The excerpt shows that Brian was now confident in his new found habitat, the wild. Before, if he saw a wolf, he might have been terrified by it. Now, though, he faces the wolf calmly, restraining from killing it even though he could do that with his spear and bow.
He recognizes the wolf as part of his environment and this shows that he is now adapting to his new environment. This is supported by the statement, “He knew the wolf now, as the wolf knew him, and he nodded to it, nodded and smiled.”
