As I read the short story Killing the Bear by Judith Minty, I was reminded by the camping trips I have taken. I feel like the protagonist wanted to protect her dog. I would protect my cat with the same defensiveness. I feel the protagonist idolized bears when she was a child and had teddy bears, but now real bears are a lot wilder. She is marking down the days of calendar to bear season or marking off the days she hasn’t found any bears. I feel she was very prepared for a bear attack, but was scared when it actually happened. I felts like she was using the bear’s death to make money and I was surprised that she turned out to be a hunter, with how scared she was acting.
