I chose this picture to represent when Byson heard noises outside of his tent and was scared he would be killed of the unknown creature."I peered and peered, but I couldn't see anything but those two wide-set eyes staring from the near distance like eyes in a cartoon. I couldn't decide whether I wanted to be outside and dead or inside and waiting to be dead... 'I think I have a right to be a trifle alarmed, pardon me. I'm in the woods, in the middle of nowhere, in the dark, staring at a bear, with a guy who has nothing to defend himself with but a pair of nail clippers. Let me ask you this. If it is a bear and it comes for you, what are you going to do--give it a pedicure?'" (pg 142)
Katz ended up going to sleep and leaving Bryson awake and alone terrified of the unknown animal. His flashlight ran out of batteries and he was stuck in the dark. Eventually, the animal left and Bryson tried to go to sleep. They never found out what the animal was. I chose this scene because I think it is a funny part of the book and it breaks up the talk about the trees and various species that are going extinct.
