Why was the house master chasing butterflies?

[@TGJ_FaisalIqbal]

The house master chases and pins the butterflies on a clipboard to display them as part of his collection. This act of collecting and displaying the butterflies reflects a desire to capture and preserve their beauty in a cruel and destructive manner.

Questions and answers??

[@TGJ_FaisalIqbal]

As we are concerned with SLO Based Assessment, so I’m not going to share QAs. For comprehension portion, you need to work on your BASIC WRITING SKILLS (which will be discussed soon in a separate video).
