It basically talks about how the zebras got their stripes. It's related to insects and how the zebras evolved to  fight off insects and their diseases that they carry. I thought it was interesting because i didnt know zebras changed because of insects.

Chapter 3

Chapter 3 basically talked about how Borlaug got into the program as a scientist to stop hunger in Mexico. The beginning explains how the foundation was started and how Borlaug got hired in. Borlaug had to move to Mexico to work and try to fix the crop conditions in Mexico. His wife was pregnant at the time so she didn't move down right away but when she had the baby it was born with spina bifida and it died shortly after and margaret and his daughter moved to Mexico. I think that Norman took a big risk by dropping his other job to take on this other challenge in Mexico but I believe it was for a good cause and he made the right decision in the end.
