An object that I feel that symbolizes a time when I was younger, will be a parrot. I think a parrot symbolizes me when I was younger is because I used to always repeat almost everything that people say. Even if someone I didn't know says something, I would repeat it and I would get in trouble. Another reason why I think parrots symbolized my younger self is because I really liked bright colors all around me. My room was colorful, my drawings were colorful, and my clothes were colorful, just like parrot's feathers, they are different and colorful. One last reason is because just how parrots live and like the tropical weather, I would always want to go somewhere tropical and hot, for an example, Florida. These are my reasons why I think a parrot symbolized my younger self.
Answer:
The author's purpose in this sentence is to show how Paul cares about protecting children from knowing what is really going on with raccoons. In this case, the author shows how adults are responsible for putting children through bad experiences for them and creating an environment that makes them comfortable.
Explanation:
In "Raccoon Olympics" we are introduced to a narrative where traps are placed in the trees of an ecological field to capture raccoons. Paul King is the naturalist who works in the park and was hired to inspect these traps. He is talking to the storyteller, who is a child and her father. Paul explains that the traps are placed because raccoons do not have a predator in the environment and end up reproducing a lot and causing overpopulation problems. When we read the story, we can see that raccoons are captured to be killed, but in order not to traumatize the child and not expose him to uncomfortable situations, Paul says that raccoons are captured to participate in swimming competitions between them.
