Read the excerpt from "The Girl Who Silenced the World for
Five Minutes."
Why does Suzuki ask the question in the excerpt?
In my life, I have dreamt of seeing the great herds of wild
animals, jungles, and rain forests full of birds and butterflies,
but now I wonder if they will even exist for my children to
to encourage listeners to explore rain forests and jungles
to challenge listeners to think about animals and
extinction
to get listeners to connect with how animals feel
to persuade listeners to follow their childhood dreams
sce.
Did you have to worry about these little things when you
were my age?
