Assignment 7

The choices that Orlean made is not odd to me, but why does she uses most of the dialogue in that article?  why does she hang around them instead of researching on them, meet them online? Seems like she uses the dialogue of taxidermist's conversation to show that she was there, she heard them, and she talked with them. She want people to know that she did get the right information about taxidermy, and wasn't a lie. She hangs around with them instead of using the internet for information, to see how they live their life as a taxidermist, what they do, how their wives react to their odd hobby or career. The internet is not always true, she did research on the internet but it doesn't seem to satisfy her so she decides to hang around them to get the real information, and to see what being taxidermist is like. Pretty much it is easy for me to read and understand her choices and why she uses them.
