Response Journal: Chapter Four

Prompt #7:
Dillard goes back to the motif of "seeing" from Chapter Two. Dillard uses "When a mantis has crunched up the last shred of its victim, it cleans its smooth green face like a cat." The description Dillard used to describe how a praying mantis finishes its meal is both disgusting and interesting. It also left an image in my head that I shall not forget. The description was way too grotesque for me.
