Look-up the word and you'll find a definition that applies. But, just for you, I'll change it to "actually reacting in such a way as to cause an end sound that resembles a scream." As far as the plant allegedly being upset, this is an assumption on my part. The reaction that caused an end sound resembling a scream was very obviously, definately directly related to the presence of the person that destroyed the other plant. (Actually, now that I think about it, it could have been a spontaneous outburst that occured coincidentally with the appearance of the plant destroyer, but allow me to assume once again.) Once I established (in my mind, that is) that that particular reaction was caused by that particular action, I assumed (darn, I keep doing that!) that it was a result of being upset. I admit that it could have been an expression of ecstasy, or a cry for more, or something else. I am open for any enlightenment you may offer on this subject and I do concede that there may be a degree of reasonable doubt. That is the reason I chose the words "seemed to be upset" when describing the reaction (or spontaneous action) of the plant. You may want to look up the word 'seem'. It may be on the same page as the word 'scream'. :-) Dan Pellegrino ittvax!ittral!pellegri
