Grizzly Bear Family Book

The author writes on page 607: "...when a bear catches a moose calf, it is not a sad event." Do you agree? Why or why not? Support your four sentence answer with a "quote" from the story.

  1. I think both because when it catches it its sad because its just a small animal. But we eat animals and when you think about it it is sad.Its just the circle of life."A bear suddenly appeared from the bushes and rushed toward the calves."

    I agree because life is life and everything has to die sometime. Also, there are alot of Mooses around there so it wouldn't harm anybody if one died. " The moose turned to confront the powerful bear. The bear stopped and the two faced off, staring at each other intently."

  4. I disagree with Hoshino's theory. Anything getting killed is a sad event, right? If a bear devours a baby moose, the mother would feel devestated. And that's a feeling that is terrible, but, that is the cycle. To support my answer, here's an example from the book, "When salmon are rare, grizzlies will hungerly devour every one they catch." That is a just part of cycle of a whole bunch of cycles that all led to one thing: nature.

    Of course i don't agree because that is another life from this world. most animals are extinked, we don't need to rush that. It will also be a very bloody scene."they must keep wacth over their newborn kids and save them from danger".

  6. I do not agree with the author because the mother spends all her time being pregant and then when it's born it dies. I would be really sad if any animal died except ants. But hopefully the moose will have another i agree with that part. "but you have to understand that when a bear catches a moose calf it is not a sad event."

  7. I dont agree because it would be sad watching an animal get eaten by another animal.If I say an animal get eaten by another animal i would be scared and run away because it might wnat to eat me. B ut I would still be sad for it."A bear suddenly appeared from the bushes and rushed toward s the calfes."

  8. I agree with the author when he said,"I have come to understand that when a bear catches a moose calf, it is not a sad event."I agree with the author because bears need food, and without food they could die.I also agree with him because moose calfs are very rare in the winter.They are also one of the bears favorite animals.

  9. I agree and disagree. I agree because that meal may stop a bear from starvation, which is why I would feel happy for the bear. On the other hand, I would feel sorry for the moose and sad that the moose's life is over. Now, I understand that the moose is in a better place. However, to watch a moose die is probrably not the prettiest sight. To support my idea of feeling sory for the moose, here is a "quote" from the story,"The moose had risked her life to protect her calves." From this quote, not only would I feel sorry for the dead, I would feel sorry that the calves won't have a mother to raise them.

  10. I agree because it is life how the bear catches his prey. There will be more moose and the bears need to eat just like everything else does. Well not everything, but most things. Moose may eat rabbits or mice and the moose may get eaten by a bear someday, too. Also, the bear may have cubs of her own and she can share the meal with them. Otherwise it is a sad event when the moose calf gets because it has just started its life and his life is already over. Her is a quote from the story to support my answer, " there will be new moose calfs and new bear cubs next year, and the life in the wilderness will go on. In nature, all living things, including humans, depend on other lives for their existance."

  11. I think its both. In one sad way an animales life ends and the mother or person in charge is usally sad that a or its youngling died.But in another way anothe life will not starve and mabey die from the food.One dies but another lives is the life cycle."Every living thing depends on eachother's lives.

    i think that it would only be sad for the calf and maby its mother and siblings. but one or two calfs getting eaten wont affect anything else. and if it wasent for those calfs a whole family of bears could have died."but i have come to understand that when a bear cathes a moose calf, it is not a sad event. the bear may have cubs of her own who will share in the meal."

  13. I don't agree.I think it wold be very sad to see a moose calf die.If I was the mother I would very sad."The moose had risked her life to protect her calves."

  14. #16 {is TOTALLY awesomer than #11, 27, and 3!}April 14, 2010 at 12:05 PM

    I disagree with him because if the bear catches the calf and kills it right then and there it would be sad and, kind of gross. It would be SUPER sad for me. But i also agree with him because "the bear may have cubs of her own who will share in the meal." That is thje circle of life. But we kill other animals such as chiken, pigs, cows, duck, goats, sealife, and PLENTY of fish. So we are like the bears, we will kill other things in order to survive.

  15. I agree it might look sad but without the calf the bear population would sadly die "the beaer will try again and maybe next time it may be sucsseful" I agree nothing would make me change my mind and thats part of nature out there it isn't easy it's a tough life.

  16. I do not agree with the author because it is sad to watch nature devower nature. Also, because it is gross to see blood fling everywhere. Lastly, their is probuly a high pitched screech come from the moose calf. It says in the book," In nature, all living things, including humans, depend on other lives for their existence."

  17. I dont agree with the author. I dont because it was a small animal and was probally only alive for a few years. That would be really sad to me to have a moose calf die. "A bear sudenly appeared from the bushes and rushed towards the calves."

    I do agree. It is mother nature. What God does is because he loves the animals. The moose will have babies again. So it does not matter if the mooses calf dies. "Thier will be new moose calves and new bear cuds next year"

  20. i do w/ the author. the reason do agree w/ the author is cuz that is the cycle of life. Animals are going 2 get killed one day and so is every 1 eles. Animals need 2 find food or eles they'll starve. So does evrey1 eles in this woorld, we need 2 eat animals 2 survie and get food just like the animals in the book." The stronger,more aggresivebears, usually males,command the best place to find food."

  21. # 11 is better than all of you!!!April 14, 2010 at 12:09 PM

    In my opinion, i think the event could be sad, yet not sad at the same time. I mean, of course it WOULD be sad to see it happen right there in front of you. I mean, EWWWW! And, although it would be sad to see it, at the same time it wouldn't be because in the book, the author says, "But I have come to understand that when a bear catches a moose calf, it is not a sad event. The bear may have cubs of her own who will share in the meal." So, I would be kind of happy for the bear, she could have a nice, (bloody) meal with her family.

    I agree. It is mother nature. If a calf dies it will have babies again. What God does is because he loves the animals. "There will be new moose cavles and new bear cubs."

  23. I agree because it is nature and animals have to eat there will be more animals."In the story they said that the bear was trying to get a babie moose but the mother scared it off". But it needed to eat so that must be dissapointing.

  24. i think when it catches a moose to me it would be very sad. In some other ways i understand that they need food. They dont only need that they need to be healthy. What i mostly think is that it is very sad. i think instead they should go to where all the salmon is insted of eating the calfs. "the bear would ceep trying until it catches the calf."
