Chapter Summary: A pack of wolves battles with a moose and finally succeeds in taking her down. They feast until they are nearly too full to move. A hunter races towards them, killing three of them. The hunter's snowmachine dies and the surviving wolves flee into the woods.
Why do you think Kantner chose the juxtaposition of the successful moose kill with that of the human hunter and his moose kill?
Points to Consider:
- The wolf kill isn't instantaneous or glamorous, and neither is the human's hunt of the wolves, but both scenes illustrate "tired" hunters and the desperation of the hunted.
