Describe how the giants’ thirst for humans leads to their downfall.

The other giants are so busy and excited to hunt humans in England that they do not see the BFG and Sophie also running towards England. The giants’ single-mindedness has helped the BFG and Sophie on several other occasions. For example, when the Bloodbottler came into the BFG’s house thinking he heard the BFG speaking with someone, he is easily distracted by the BFG appealing to his hunger. The BFG offers the Bloodbottler a snozzcumber, which he spits out in disgust and leaves quickly. This gets him out of the BFG’s house and helps Sophie escape from his clutches.
