of its mother? How is the baby deer going to survive without the milk of its mother? These are the types of factors Stafford is thinking when he’s dealing with the dead doe. Although he feels concerned about nature’s feelings, he takes the risk of throwing the doe to the river. Not a great choice of Stafford, but he had no other choice in helping the baby deer inside the womb, it would still not survive. On the other hand, the contrast from Stafford to Kumin is belligerent, the fact that Kumin’s attitude towards the animals is acerbic and resentful. He feels irritated towards the woodchucks the fact that the woodchucks were eating from her crops and she did not approve of that. Instead of feeling hesitated towards the animals in helping or aiding an animal, Kumin is willing to grab her rifle and pull the trigger against the woodchucks and shoot them down, despite the age of the woodchucks. The contrast from Stafford’s feeling towards nature was caring and submissive, Kumin felt selfish and only cares about her crops and not the “feelings” of the other animals.
