The Ninemile Wolves by Rick Bass Blog #4

This essay was a very interesting one. It was difficult at first for me to see where it was going, if it was going to tell a story or just inform. I did see the point by the end of it however. I think it has a lot more of the author’s opinion and voice in it than some of the other things we’ve read so far as well. I liked that. Once again, I could see that adding evidence in the form of quoted books or numbers is really useful. I think it adds greatly to your argument or story. I thought it was almost hostile how Bass refers to how the government exterminated the Buffalo, then the Native Americans, and then turned to the wolves. Their reasoning being they were killing and eating the cattle, though the government had forced them to do that. It was a good analogy that helped bring in some background to the whole issue. He described his viewpoint well without too much obvious effort.
