“The sight of the
food maddened him.” What does this suggest? What compelled the
young seagull to finally fly?
“The sight of the food maddened him.” What does this suggest? What compelled the young seagull to finally fly?
The
young seagull was very hungry. It was this
hunger that ultimately compelled it to fly. Its hunger only
intensified when it saw its mother tearing at a piece of fish that
lay at her feet. It cried to her, begging her to get some food. When
its mother came towards it with food in her beak, it screamed with
joy and anticipation. However, she stopped midway. It wondered why
she did not come nearer. Not being able to resist or control its
hunger any longer, it dived at the food in its mother’s beak.
At that moment, his hunger overpowered his fear of the great expanse
of sea beneath the cliff. Finally, this plunge was followed by the
natural reaction of its body, i.e., to fly.
