{"Image DocumentName": "Question: What was the author\u2019s purpose in writing this text?", "Image ImageDescription": "The author\u2019s purpose was to make people aware that cats killing birds has become a problem and that any solution to the problem will be controversial. In the first paragraph, the author points out that, Cats kill between 1.4 billion and 3.7 billion every year. The author\u2019s use of that statistic really catches a reader\u2019s eye because they are such big numbers. This shows just how big the problem is. Then, in the second paragraph, the author says that there are two controversial ways to solve the problem, by either catching wild cats and performing surgery on them so they can\u2019t reproduce or catching and killing them. The author was demonstrating that the possible solutions are controversial because most people probably would not like the idea of cats being caught in order to either operate on them or kill them.
