In Michael Pollan's story, he tries to depict hunting as a very powerful and thrilling hobby. Yet alone, rewarding, when the job is done and you got what you originally went for in the first place. In the beginning of Michael's story, he tries to make all of his readers feel as if they were there with him in the forest . He is very detailed about what is going on and the thrill he feels as hes analyzing every little thing around him waiting for his prey.
From the few times that Ive been hunting, I can honestly relate and understand everything he explains to us about what is going through your head as your just sitting and anticipating for the moment you've been waiting for. And as he quoted in his story, when you're in the middle of the forest waiting, you say to yourself "I am the alert man".
