“The sight of the food maddened him.” What does this suggest? What compelled the young seagull to finally fly?
The young seagull was very hunger that ultimately compelled it to fly. Hunger is 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 shouted with joy and anticipation. It wondered why she did not come near. He was unable to resist hunger any longer, it dived at the food in its mother’s beak. At that moment, his hunger overpowered his fear of the great expand of sea beneath the cliff and followed by the natural reaction of its body to fly.
