If I Ran the Zoo

the zoo. For me it was so interesting and beautiful how every animal acted in a certain type of way. I was with my little sister Grace, my parents, and my beautiful daughter Emily. We had so much fun that day. Feeling the nice hot sun, listening to different animal sounds specially the chirping of the birds. Everything was so amazing. Watching Emily's big hazel eyes in amazement was priceless. We were passing by the giraffe pen, and then we found my husband Josh, the supervisor of the zoo,…

A.A Milnes As I see my son walking out of school, I see dreadful tears that were streaming down his face. I ran as fast as I can to ask him who did what. He answered "IT WAS YOU DAD! IT WAS YOUR STUPID BOOKS! DO YOU KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE PUSHED AROUND AND MADE FUN OF!!?" At that moment I knew that he was talking about Winnie the Pooh, one of the worst mistakes of my life. I talked to him for awhile and said it's going to be ok. He cheered up after several lectures. I took him out for some…

separated and fighting. As he ran and entered Two Mills, he said “hi” to everybody he saw. This indicated that Maniac was looking for friends, possibly a family. Another example of Maniac’s search was on page 29. The novel stated that Maniac had a name, “But not an address. At least not an official one, with numbers.” It also stated that “What he did have was the deer shed at the Elmwood Park Zoo, which is where he slept his first few nights in town.” This showed Maniac’s desperation for a…

healthy relationship. For example, Charlie wanted to buy something for his dad on Christmas, but he did not have a clue on what to buy. He wanted to buy something that would be appreciated by his father because Charlie loved him. However, he says, “And I don’t know him. And he doesn’t like to talk about things like that.” This quote proves the lack of communication they have between each other because they do not share their likes and dislikes. When Charlie took LSD, the whole family could not…

“This is what I most admire about Father: no matter how bad things might get, he eventually will find the grace to compose himself. Some people find him overly stern and frightening, but that is only because he was gifted with such keen judgment and purity of heart. He has been singled out for a life of trail, as Jesus was. Being always the first to spot flaws and transgressions, it falls upon Father to deliver penance. Yet he is always ready to acknowledge the potential salvation that resides…

imagine, but I cannot say the sam . For being a kid with not a lot of responsibility, it felt like the world cam crashing down like a rabbit under a landslide. With bullies and family issues, my weight was on top of my list of problems. By putting myself through “ Fat Camp”, it has shaped the person you see now. The first light of my happy meal and junk food addiction started around 5th grade. By 6th grade, I put on sixty pounds weighing around 190 pounds at twelve years old. The faces I saw on…

kindergarten year I would hear that bell. Not the one the teacher would rattle to get her students attention, but the one that indicated that the time for recess had come. I would halfheartedly get out of my seat and walk out onto the play yard. Ready to go on a lonely adventure that my imagination had been dying to show to me. I felt like each second ticked on like hours as I ran out of new adventures to go on, and after a while I would just end up waiting for the bell to ring again so I could…

Rel - “I know zoos are no longer in people’s good graces. Religion faces the same problem. Certain illusions about freedom plague them both”(21) Pi is saying a zoo is more like…

A trip to the zoo is always enlightening as no matter how long ago it was we last visited we can always forget something about the animals that live this world with us. Going to the zoo can remind us that we are creatures just like these animals, but also remind us that we are so much more than just animals. Our lives on the surface seem so much more complex than the primates around us, however if we could take the time to observe the lives and the emotions of the animals around us then maybe we…
