Zoo, by Anthony Browne is a story we studied for English. What is the role of a zoo and what is the relationship between man and animals? Below is my recreation of an orangutan enclosure and a diary entry from the POV of an orangutan entering it for the first time.
Entering my new enclosure, feeling fascinated. The essence of freshly clipped grass invades my nostrils. I walk by a gigantic and healthy green tree. I stumble upon a clean, clear pond. Gazing at my reflection, The sound of crickets chirping feels like music to my ears. The soft green grass brushed my arms and feet. I sat down on the grass. It feels like heaven.
