According to read this story, it is talking about a man who lived in countrysaid built up a good relationship with a badger who can speak with human-being. They had a good time when they were together. However, one day of winter, the badger died. That is unhappy end. It makes me think a lot. If people live without friends, their life will colorless and they will lose interested. Therefore, we need to cherish our friends.
I think the lecture is about the relationship between human beings and other animals. Actually, we know nothing about what the animals' thinking. Maybe when we think they are happy, they are very uncomfortable. When we see the advertisement, we can see the cow says that let us drink her milk. However, no cow will want people to drink its milk at all. human beings are too arrogant about animals -----Crick
The author uses metaphor in this story. He tells us a story about a solitary coming into contact with a badger in a short time, and becoming special friends. In my opinion, the badger is a metaphor of that solitary and all the human beings. People always hurt others to protect themselves, but actually they still get hurt from others. To be honest and say, I think we human beings shouldn't take the risk of hurting others to protect ourselves. We should get along in peace with all the creatures from this blue planet. Be friendly to others, and others will be friendly to you, too.

The article is about a friendship between a farmer and a badger. The badger can speak with the man and they become good friends. This way of writing is not only vivid but also impressive. From the article, I learn that we should protect animals. Although in our real life, we cannot talk with animals, we still should regard them as our friends. Don't kill them for financial benifits, it's a harm to them, and one day people will suffer the retributions from nature. Only we protect the animals, our world can be more beautiful and the environment can be more harmonious.

The friendship is just a very sweet feeling. There is no boundary for the friendship to limit us from getting close to someone. Until the badger die, the man gets very sad. It tells us that how valuable the friendship is. Henry Zhang
This fiction tells us a story about the delicate relationship between the hermit and the badger who can speak as human beings. The badger is often accompanying with the lonely hermit. However, at the end of the story, the badger died in the spring season. After reading this fiction, I was inspired that we human beings should have a good relationship with the animals and nature. They are born kind and nice. If our human beings do not do harm to them or infringe upon them, they will be very friendly to us. ---by Molly
What this story tells is basically about a man building up a friendship with a badger that can communicate with human being and has personality.On the surface,looks like it's a story about relationship between human and animal.But i think it's about a lonely man finding his soul mate.Just like the film"Cast away"acted by Tom Hanks,a people who was left on an isolate island due to accident starts talking to a volleyball.I find that when this man taiks to the badger ,his heart looks like filled with peacefulness.Maybe we all need a soul mate to let peacefulness exist in our heart under such a noisy world. --------------------------------------Liangweidong
Yes,we should also find the defect in our treatment to nature after reading this article.Maybe sometimes animal hurting huamn is just because we've done something bad to them.If we can treat animal like a friend,human can get well on with nature.
Molly’s comment on Afra’s opinion: Afra’s opinion is really interesting which attracts a lot. She just mentioned that the hermit was so lonely that he has to talk with a badger who can “speak”. However, in my opinion, the character in the fiction was not so lonely that he could talk with nobody else in his life. The story stressed on the good relationship between the hermit and the badger. The badger was really kind that the hermit felt so sorry when the badger died. On the other hand, I agree with Afra’s opinion about the human beings should not narrow themselves in their own world. We should communicate with others in our daily life.
After reading Weidong's comment, I found that it's quite different from mine. However, I'm actually quite agree with him now. The badger may be that man's soulmate, for they are quite similar to each other. In my opinion, it's not easy to find a soulmate in this big world, because a soulmate must be someone who can understand you well, and can company and help you all the time, but it's really hard to meet someone who really understands you and can tolerate you. People are all selfish. But I hope that we are all lucky to find our own soulmate.
My comment on Ada's opinion: Ada's understanding to this article is very deeply, and she has already understood the relationship between humans and the nature. She advocated us to cherish our friends, or we would be lonely at the end. This is not doubt that it is unhappy ending, and the hermit lost his friend in the winter. However, in my opinion, the hermit has already cherished this friend, even giving it something to eat. Therefore, what the author really wants to tell us is how to balance the relationship between the nature and human. ---Vincent Yao
Bill's comment about what Vincent expressed Admittedly,Vincent quite understood what the fable talking about. Vividly descriptive details,good compresion,which are really perfect.However,I am sorry to point that a little bit error made in your comment,"graduately"which ought to be corrected into "gradually",and "vividly"should be "validly"by its meaning.Basically, this is a really wonderful comment,just like what Vincent said,we should treat animals like friends,not the relationship just between humanbeings and animals.What the "badger" advocated to us is appealing to us to rise the awareness of protecting the nature,just treat and cherish them like our friends.
Molley's opinion is really interesting and she has aleardly undertood this article. She said that people should learn how to balance the relationship between human and animal, even nature. People should cherish this kind of relationship. Meanwhile, she said that people should not hurt animal and nature. People need to protect them. Don't hurt them. In my opinion, I totally agree with that. people and nature need to build a good relationship.
As she said, the article descibed the story of the man and the badger vividly and impressively. The author wanted to tell us the friendship between human beings and animals. I agree with Linda. We should get along with animals. They are our friends. In the end, Linda stated the bad situation between we and animals. It is damage to kill animals. We can benefit from animals. Animals can beautify our environment. Human beings and animals have the same home. We should help each other but not hurt each other. People must protect them and create a harmonious society.
Linda's comment about what Ada said: I agree with what Ada said, people cannot live without friends, no matter their friends are human beings or animals. We need friends to share our happy things and sad things.To make friends, first to be a friend. It means we do something as a good friend should do, such as considering their feelings, listening to their thoughts. Only in this way, we can have more good friends.
I agree with Vincent. This fiction is very vivid to tell us a true friendship between humans and animals. Follow this fiction, if the badger really can talk to “me”, it will be not just an animal, it is a friend, it can listen to us, and communicate with each other. The writer wants us to know that animals need to be regarded as our friends. It is our responsibility to protect them.
I totally agree with Linda Liu. We must protect the animals. As we all know that lots of species of animals become extinct. If we keep killing animals, it will effect the balance og the ecosystem. It may cause the end of the world or some problems we may not predict. Overall, animals and human beings are both lives in the world. We both have emotions, so let's do something for caring the animal.
Tina's idea has a slice different from mine, But I agree with the comment that she presented. She mentioned the friendship in a different way, which focused on the true friendship that I just ignored. In my point of view, a true friend is the one you can rely on when you are in truble. He or she doesn't need to do what, just a encouraging and beliefing hug is enough.And also the one can share your happiness with. --Afra, Qian
Crick's comment about what Tina said: I agree that Tina said,the friendship between the person and the badger is very pure, not like the relationship between people. Unfortunately, the badger died. But never mind, they are together forever in spirit.
