What is a Hunter?
Questions:
1. The second question Schreiner asks the reader made me skeptical of his opinion on hunting because I feel like he asked the reader this question (“What characteristics make up a hunter”) in order for the reader to describe a hunter solely as another word for animal killer. The definition he presented in the question prior also lead me to this conclusion.
2. I would characterize Schreiner’s grandfather as an “old fashioned” man who was probably raised in an era where it was a “necessity” to be manly. As for his younger cousin I would describe him as an easily influenced eager young boy that felt the need to prove himself.
3. The early morning hunting trip made Schreiner realized that hunting was not for him and that he had a love for life, whether if it was his or a harmless animal
4. If you were to omit the first paragraph from the essay you wouldn’t have a lot of information on his understanding of hunting when he was a young boy, consequently making the hunting trip merely a scarring experience rather than a self-actualization experience.
5. I believe if Schreiner were to leave out what he means by “Much more to being a hunter” the essay wouldn’t clearly define his feelings towards hunting after that day. I think it would leave the reader guessing as to his final conclusion on hunting rendering the essay pointless.
6. I believe the two most distinct images Schreiner included in the essay were the heads of the jackrabbits being bashed upon the side of the car due to how explicitly he described the thumping. Going hand in hand with the image of the rabbit’s heads being smashed I also would like to believe the image of the dismembered corpses of the jackrabbits in the hole left a grave imprint in his head.
7. The main idea that Schreiner is trying to convey is that there is more to hunting than knowing how to
