Question

Reread the quote "Elk roamed in the roads, grazed in gardens, and ripped through aspen and willow trees like a river overflowing its banks" (Paragraph 16). What does the quote reveal about the author's point of view? Use evidence from the text to support your answer. Link: https://www.commonlit.org/texts/what-good-is-the-big-bad-wolf

Answer 1

The quote shows that the author believes that the absence of wolves has turned the Elks into an inharmonious and troublesome element in nature.

We can come to this answer because:

• The article aims to show how the absence of predators in an environment can cause a strong environmental imbalance.
• This is because the absence of predators can cause the herbivore population to grow out of control, promoting disharmony in nature.

This disharmony is shown in the sentence presented in the question above, where the author shows that in the absence of wolves, the Elks become a type of pest, causing problems, due to the disorder in the food chain.
