Claim: John was a skilled hunter.
Quote: "I did not even see the panther spring upon the white fawn. But, before I knew it, the bow was in my hand."
Dab:John tells us early in his journey this happened:"I did not even see the panther spring upon the white fawn. But, before I knew it, the bow was in my hand."
Dollop:We already know that John is a priest and on his journey to find the truth. We then find out that he is a very skilled hunter. This trait of John is reveled to us by this quote:"I did not even see the panther spring upon the white fawn. But, before I knew it, the bow was in my hand."
Lotsa Sause:So far in the story we know many traits of John because of what he has done in his journey and what is revealed to use through dialoge. We then find out that John is a skilled hunter while fasting. He was heading east in the forest when he came across a panther. We learn these things through this quote:"I did not even see the panther spring upon the white fawn. But, before I knew it, the bow was in my hand."
Commentary: He shouted and the panther lifted his head from the fawn. It is not easy to kill a panther with one arrow but the arrow went through his eye and into his brain. He died as he tried to spring. Obviously John needs to be a very skilled hunter because he killed a panther with one arrow never the less shooting it through the eye and into the brain.

Harrison Bergeron Movie Comments
After watching approximately 20 minutes of the movie, I feel that I dont like it as much as I lilked the short story. I feel that the movie could illustrate all the handicapes in more creative ways. While reading the book it let your imagination take over with all the different handicapes but while watching the movie most people just had the basic transmitter on their heads to make them not as smart. I didnt see many diferent physical handicapes on the people in the movie but while reading the short story I was under the impression that everyone had many different handicapes to make them equal. I feel that the movie is doing a good job making the story in movie form and I am excited to watch more of the movie and compare it to the short story.

Commentary: They weren't only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else.
