The message that the author is trying to convey is how animal instincts are very hard to understand, and he has experience with this, because remember how Charley went savage when he saw the bear, and he couldn’t know what he was thinking about. He even said, ‘“animal thought are so complex to human minds,’” and im not even sure if he even said those exact words, so... Pepe The Frog

The author is trying to say that you don’t always have to judge someone on the way they act because Charley was very calm but then he became scary when he saw the bear

# data[].attributes.body
The author is trying to tell us that animal emotions and feelings aren’t as simple as we think they are. For example, John was so stunned to see the way Charlie acted. That is what the author is trying to tell us

One message the author is trying to convey is that not everything/everyone acts the way you think they will act, I know this because in the text John thought his dog Charley would always be peaceful and calm, even around bears, but when the time came, to John’s suprise Charley changed.

The main message the author is trying to convey to the reader is that people can be whatever person they want to be. For instance Charley is not what John thought he would be like he said multiple times that he was in shock and worried about Charley. This was the authors main message in the story. He is trying to day that everybody has there own side in life.

The authors message is that even though you think you may know someone well they could be a totally different person than you think. I say this because in the text John was so certain that Charlie is a tolerant, calm and loving dog. However later in the text Charlie turns into a vicious bear killer and John is very stunned and surprised by the situation. This proves John thought he knew Charlie well and was a kind spirit but then he shows a different side of himself. That is why the authors message is even though you may think you know a person well they can be different then you think.

The message the author is trying to convey is that animals don’t have simple emotions as we think they do. In the text it sates “I wonder why we think the thoughts and emotions of animals are simple”. This proves that he had thought why we people think that animals have simple emotions. This is the message the author is trying to tell us.

The message that the author is trying to convey to o the reader is not to be so sure about something ,because in the text John is sure charley is a respectful and clivilized dog but then when charley sees a bear he goes bananas.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the author is trying to convey not everything is simple
The reason I say this is because at the end of the story it shows animals aren’t simple that is why I think the author is trying to convey that animals aren’t simple

The message the author is trying to convey in the text “Travels with Charley” is that animals are very complex creatures. In the last sentence the text says “I wonder why we think the thoughts and emotions of animals are simple.” (Not finished)

# data[].attributes.body
In Travels with Charley:In Search of America the author is trying to tell the reader that his dog is acting rather strange. I know this because on chunk 6, John wonders to himself why humans think that animal thoughts are simple. This supports the idea that Charley was acting weird and his thoughts were very complicated, and that’s why John wonders why humans think that animal thoughts and emotions are simple.

The message that the author is trying to convey, is that animal emotions and feelings are not as black and white as they may seem. In the text Charley, a dog who is so kind and compassionate to every other living thing viciously lashes out when he sees a bear. At the end of the story John even says “I wonder why we think the thoughts and emotions of animals are so simple.”

The message the author is trying to tell is that animals emotions and thoughts aren’t simple. The last sentence of the story says “I wonder why we think the thoughts and emotions of animals are simple.” This shows that John realizes that animals emotions and thoughts aren’t simple.

# data[].attributes.body
The author was trying to convey the message that animal emotions and thoughts are complex and that we shouldn’t underestimate there complexity. The text states, in chunk 6, “I wonder why we think the thoughts and emotions of animals are simple.” This proves my claim because it shows how he is saying the message and it teaches that even is someone or an animal acts one way or has looked simple and that they looked like they were only one way inside. But people and animals can surprise you. In the inside there is something that will always surprise you. This goes with people and animals.

The author is trying to send the message that animals do not have simple thought and feelings and are sometimes more complicate than us.

# data[].attributes.body
The message the author is trying to convey is that you don’t actually know or understand anyone until you’ve seen them act how they feel. For example, on the last page of the text, he says “ I wonder why we think the thoughts and emotions of animals are simple”. So therefore he is claiming that he didn’t think Charley could behave how he behaved with the bears until he saw him become aggressive.

# data[].attributes.body
The message the author conveys is that you don’t truly know someone until you unleash what they really are. In the text it claims that John originally thought Charley was a well behaved dog. Which meant that he had trust in Charley. But later in th text it states that when Charley encounters the bears he became a savage animal. This showed John that he didn’t really know Charley. This proves that the message that the author conveys is that you don’t truly know someone until you unleash what they really are.

Based on my reading the message the author is trying to convey is even though you think you might know a person you can always learn something new about them.On page 145 John explains to the man his dog is a peaceful dog but at the end he realizes his is a maniac when he sees the bears.This confirms he didn’t know this about his dog.

# data[].attributes.body
The message being conveyed is that animal thoughts and emotions aren’t simple and are actually quite complicated. Chunk 6 states “I wonder why we think the thoughts and emotions of animals are simple.” That is the point the author is trying to convey.

# data[].attributes.body
The message the author tries to convey is that sometimes we think the emotions of animals are simple. However, by the end of the story, John begins to notice that animals ahve complicated feeling like we do. John says “I wonder why we think the thought and emotions of animals are simple.”

The message the author is trying to tell us is that animals have feelings just as much as humans do. Page 147 says “ I wonder why we think the thoughts and emotions of animals are simple”. This proves that John thought animals have simple thoughts and emotions. This is the message the author is trying to tell us about animals.
