Chapters 9 and 10

Chapter 9...I Learn To Season My Food:

Sam tries some techniques he's heard of to make salt. He boils some hickory sticks because they are supposed to leave a salty residue. He leaves it over night and wakes up to a bowl of black salt. The first thing he tries it on is his breakfast, frog legs (yuck!). It's a keeper. Sam starts to make salt compartments in the tree.
Sam also finished his bed a few days later. According to him it is quite comfy.

Chapter 10...How A Door Came To Me:

Sam learned to dry his spare food. He needs to be as resourceful as possible. Sam decided to dig a trap for a deer. He needed a door for his home to block out the evening breeze. One day he saw a shadow running towards the meadow and stumble and fall. He thought it was a deer, and without thinking, he ran out to meadow. No one was in sight and there lay in front of him was a dead deer. It wasn't his trap that killed it for he wasn't wuite finished with it, but a hunter. He quickly dragged the carcass out of sight before the hunter came for his prize.
Sam spent a long time getting the skin separated from the meat. It took many long days to tan it. Frightful ate as much deer meat as she could before she was stuffed. Sam was supplied with a bunch of venison steak (the deer meat). At night, Sam was awoken to a pip pop noise. It turned out they were earth worms coming out of the soil and the air bubbles from under the soil were poppig.

MY COMMENTS ON THESE CHAPTERS...

I am still not sure how Sam is so open to all these new things. Has he ever thought that this stuff could poison him or something? I could never kill a deer or watch one be killed. I am completely against hunting unless it's for survival (but I'm not a vegetarian). I probably wouldn't know how to prepare the meat and tan the hide, plus I'm to whimpish to do something like that to an animal. First off I wouldn't run away, but if I came across a deer killed by a hunter I would give it to some other animal who depends on it more for survival than I do because I could live without deer meet and hide--to an animal who would truely appreciate it. I hate bugs period. That is why I wouldn't last more than a few days in the wild. The worms would be the last you would see of me sleeping there.
Questions I am thinking/wondering: How can you be happy about a hunter killing an innocent animal minding its own business? Now that I think of it, does Sam have alot of bug bites? Does that black salt even taste the same as regular store bougth salt? Is it better?
