The Last Bear - Session 1 - Reading Comprehension answers
English Resource Description
In "The Last Bear", April's father works as a scientist studying weather patterns at a university. April herself has a strong preference for animals over humans due to their kindness. The prospect of moving to an isolated island with her father excites her, as it promises quality time and his undivided attention. Despite her eagerness, April feels powerless when contemplating global issues like global warming and fox-hunting, overwhelmed by their magnitude in contrast to her individual capability.
April's grandmother, Granny Apples, expresses concern over their planned move to the island, fearing for their safety and the pain of separation. Through an interaction with Tör, April demonstrates her assertiveness. The term 'sixth sense' is used to describe an intuitive ability to perceive things not apparent to others. Tör's gesture with bread reveals his attempt to feed a seagull. Bear Island is described as 'a forbidden part of the universe', highlighting its desolate and inhospitable nature, almost as if it's designed to deter human habitation.
