Raising Hare

How does the author grow and change as a person as a result of her time spent with the hare? What lessons does she learn from it, and how does she apply them to her own life?

The author notes the ways that humans have altered hares’ habitats. To what degree can the hare be viewed as emblematic of larger destructive patterns in Humanity’s Changing Relationship With Nature? How does the decline in hare populations impact other species?

How does Dalton try to foreground her appreciation for hares as a species instead of focusing on the hare’s relationship with her? What impact does this approach have on the way she interacts with the hare? Is it possible to build a relationship with an animal without anthropomorphizing it? Does Chloe succeed in this goal?
