  2. Questions QUESTIONS ABOUT PURPOSE 1. Why does Eighner prefer the term scavenging toscrounging or foraging to characterize the process he analyzes? 2. In what-ways does Eighner's -analysis demonstrate that Dumpster diving is "a sound and honorable niche"? QUESTIONS ABOUT AUDIENCE 1. How does Eighner anticipate his 'audience's reaction to his subject by presenting the "predictable series of stages that a person goes through in learning to scavenge"? 2. How do Eighner's "scavenger ethics" enhance his standing with his readers? QUESTIONS ABOUT STRATEGIES I. How does Eighner use the example of pizza to illustrate the three principles of eating from a Dumpster? 2. How does Eighner's analysis of the process of "soda-can. scrounging" help distinguish that process from “scavenging"?
