A skunk in a bottle?

      In Robert Conners' essay, "How in the World Do You Get a Skunk Out of a Bottle?," he has quite an interesting title. I think he specifically named it this and in form of a question because throughout his whole essay, he was literally struggling to get a skunk out of a bottle. He tried several methods and they just weren't working. So obviously he just had no clue how in the world to get a skunk out of a bottle. Also, how often would a skunk really get stuck in a bottle? Not so frequently. So basically if someone were to read the title of this essay somewhere, they would immediately become curious and check it out. The title was a really good way to attract more audiences.

      The situation that Robert Conners encountered is such a rare occurrence. He probably wrote about this event in the form of a process analysis because he wanted to show every single thing that happened ever since he noticed the skunk. He described how the skunk was getting suffocated and taking long slow breaths and also how he was panting back and forth on how to help the poor skunk. Innocent animals are always getting into accidents because of litter and garbage thrown away. The skunk was just an example of one that fortunately was saved because of Conners, but some aren't as lucky.

      I think the main purpose of his essay was to show how animals are sometimes suffering because of us humans carelessly littering. We need to be more cautious of our actions because what we do can harm defenseless animals. So when we see a poor animal stuck in something, we shouldn't just watch but rather help if we can or ask someone else. When Conners finally got the bottle off of the skunk, they looked at each other before separating ways. It's as if the skunk was shocked that a human actually helped him. I felt like it was a very touchy moment.
