Zacharias uses her knowledge of buzzards to deal with her father’s death. Although she shows she has extensive knowledge of the birds, I found it overwhelming and boring to read paragraph after paragraph about the frightening birds. Losing a parent myself, I can identify with her methods of coping, but I found myself more interested in reading about her father than the buzzards. However, though the central topic of her essay may be boring, Zacharias is an excellent writer.
Hannah examined how when she was younger they did have a pet bird. Hannah made predications of this story based on the pictures and the title. She predicted that the story was about a bird, which was lost and then someone found it and cared for it, because of the image of a bird in the hands of a person.
