Question

in the story feathered friend, why is the narrator so startled that he hit his head on the angled beam? please don’t spam. just give me a answer

Answer 1

Answer:

sorry I don't have the perfect answer but here are some most important points from this lesson;

• The narrator says that he is unaware of a regulation that prevents pets from being on a space station and that Sven would ignore it anyway

• Sven was the best space construction worker on the space station at the time and was a "wiry little fellow" which got him a bonus for being under 150 pounds

• Unlike his Earth bound counterpart, Sven could step back and look at his work without fear of falling off the building

• Sven was smart to have Claribel as a pet because it took close to nothing to support her

• The author found Claribel after hitting his head on an "angle beam", he saw Claribel for the first time although he had been hearing her

• Claribel, the canary, found out how to make her way in zero gravity and was efficient at it

• Sven did not own up to her being his pet at first but did bring her up from a ferry from Earth after leave

• Sven then said that he had brought her from Earth as a science experiment

• They didn't have any trouble hiding her from VIPs from Earth as they always had explanation for the noises that she made even when Claribel was "upset"

• The narrator woke up one day with a headache and was slow to do morning activities

• Sven was missing from breakfast because he was looking for Claribel

• Claribel was found in a stunned state and Jock Duncan could not hear a heartbeat

• Someone said to give her some oxygen from an oxygen face mask which served as an oxygen tent for Claribel  

• The oxygen revived Claribel and she called everyone to breakfast but passed out again

• The narrator notices that Claribel was passing out because of the air being bad; an air purifier had frozen and the single, 500 thousand dollar alarm "failed to go off"

• Claribel had saved everyone's lives

• The narrator says if one is ever on a space station to not be "surprised" or "alarmed" if there was birdsong recognized for the bird is only there as a cheap backup alarm system
