Read this excerpt from "The Day the Gulls Went Crazy" by
Susan E. Quinlan.
What is the author's purpose in this paragraph?
O to describe what Larry does with the gulls' eggs
to highlight how defensive gulls are of their nests
to explain how Larry used his cleverness to capture
gulls
Capturing and rebanding an adult gull is much more difficult
than capturing a small flightless chick. Resourceful as always,
Larry developed a special capture technique. He rigged up a
tool using a rope noose, monofilament fishing line, and a fishing
pole. Knowing the fight a two-and-a-half-pound adult gull might
put up, he scared the bird off its nest and replaced its fragile
eggs with dummy eggs. Next, he laid the noose around the nest
and moved away. A trail of fishing line led from the noose to the
fishing pole and reel in his hands. Crouching low, Larry waited
for the retum of the bird in need of rebanding. When the
moment was right, he reeled in the line, tightening the noose
around the gulls legs.
O to emphasize the materials that Larry used
