Yes or No. Why?

In other words, you would have enjoyed a more extensive development of this person.

Did you google the characteristics of elephants to research this aspect of the story for validation?

Did they cause you to feel emotional, to shed a tear?

If so, what were those segments?

Why?

For example, Ishi’s commentary being italicized, chapters going back and forth between humans and animals, the story changing from the 1950’s to the 2000’s and back?

Did you feel that Ishi should have been more “humane” or that Ishi rendered what was deserved?

Were you moved by the notion that elephants possibly experience their loved ones who have preceded them in death as part of the process of dying?

Was the violence necessary?

Did anything in the book influence your feelings about killing and eating animals?
