Decent Essays

I wonder why Max despise being a human experiment of a bird. With having a fast as a airplane for transportation, why does she dislike it. Soaring through the open sky, feeling the winds blowing my hair. I imagine what it would be like to fly as a human. In science class,learning how scientists experiments animals for research. It was shows the suffering each animals go through. I immediately remembered the book and how Max was experimented
