Paragraph 1
Sourligne tous les
pronoms : they et their.
The pronouns « They » and “their” refers to: the
inhabitants of the Great Plains – the buffaloes and the Indians
Paragraph 2
Surligne cette phrase : “It was the arrival of large numbers
of white settlers that nearly caused their extinction”
The English word for “colons” is “settlers”
Three reasons for the killing:
- To survive
- For fun
- To get rid of the Indians
Slaughtered = kill
At first buffaloes were killed for living, which, I think is
fine (ou tu peux mettre understandable)
The Indians eat buffaloes so if they extinct, the Indians
would die of hunger because then, they have nothing to eat.
- No, the buffaloes are not in danger today because the
number of buffalo have increased to about 300,000
- Yes it is a happy ending
- I think that it's great that the buffaloes are no longer
in danger
