Why did Frog get mad when Bo drew the picture of the elephant on the net


What was her problem with that? I want serious answers please.

reply

Because he was more worried about getting the elephant back to Texas and getting the money, than he was Charlotte's health and well-being.

reply

Thank you. And why would this net hurt the elephant's health?

reply

Not just that. First off, when Frog asked him what he was writing, he told her it was a poem about her. Then when she saw the drawing, she realized that he was still just as selfish as he was when she left him the first time and that he wasn't going to change. She thought she saw some changes in him by convincing him to stay the night, rather than keep on going, but this just proved that he hadn't changed at all.

reply

Exactly! She realized he was still just all about fame and fortune no matter what it took...

BTW, is your username an indicator that you were airborne? I was 82nd Airborne.

reply

It would've put too much pressure on the elephant's stomach and possibly caused complications or early delivery. He wanted to lift Charlotte off of her feet. It'd be like a pregnant woman laying on her stomach on a sling and lifting her feet into the air.

reply

I see. This would be very painful for the elephant wouldn't it be? And what complications could it have caused?

reply

As I said: think of a pregnant woman, who's almost full-term, being held in the air by nothing but a sling around her stomach/abdomen. Her feet aren't touching the ground and she's not holding onto anything. The ONLY thing holding her is a net across her abdomen, while her arms are hanging over one side and legs are hanging on the other side.

When I was pregnant, as I've also heard from plenty of other women, I could barely wear a seat beat because it pushed on my abdomen and caused excruciating pain from 7 months on.

Don't take this the wrong way, but it's something men really wouldn't understand.

reply

Do you think that Bo was a nice guy? I don't think he was a bad guy but he wanted to win the money. Do you think he was a nice guy?

reply

Nice, yeah, but his head was in the wrong place. He was too focused on completing the mission and missed what was really important.

reply

Totally agree.

reply

She didn't like the way the drawing looked
