Question

Why did Jody see only vultures and kites feeding on the dead body of the doe?

Answer 1

Hint: Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' lesson "This is Jody's Fawn" is about a fawn whose mother was slain in order to use her liver and heart to extract poison from Jody's father Penny and save his life after being bitten by a snake. Jody persuades his Pa to bring the fawn home and raise it, then his ma, and lastly Mill-wheel to look for it.

Complete answer:
Tigers or leopards left enormous imprints in the sand, but they did not eat the dead doe. The reason for this was because the huge cats murdered an animal and ate its meat. Birds of prey include vultures and kites. They also eat the bodies of the deceased.

The grass separated Jody from the spot where he had seen the deer the day before. He couldn't believe he'd just been awake for a day. The fawn was nowhere to be found. Jody looked for one in the deserted land, but there was no sight or sound of one. The buzzards, on the other hand, created a sound with their wings in an attempt to resume what they were doing. Jody started looking for the fawn's trail and reading the small hoof impressions in the sand, but the rain from the night before had washed away all save cats and buzzards' traces.

Note: The story's main themes are loneliness and remorse. Jody killed the doe in order to save his father. He did, however, save the fawn to absolve himself of his guilt. This storey concentrates around the affinity between man and animal that grew between the fawn and Jody.
