On one fine Friday afternoon, an argument erupts between a strange man and a rather meaty zookeeper. The man claims the lion in the zoo belongs to him, and the zookeeper thinks the opposite. Their quarrel gathered a lot of attention and weird looks from the zoo visitors. One of the bolder people watching stood up for the zookeeper and asked if the man had any proof. He had no proof he could show him. Now, this strange man, named Leonardo, never owned the lion, or even really ever met him before last Sunday.
What happened last Sunday, you ask. Nothing really, except a very funny dream. In the dream, Leonardo was fishing and, almost immediately after casting the rod, he felt a big tug. He was excited because he thought he could see the light brownish color of the fish he needed for his collection. He began reeling in faster and faster, trying harder and harder to get this extremely heavy fish out of the

And, when the lion broke out of its cage and started munching on the guy’s thighs, he finally understood everything. Leo the lion entered his mind and controlled it so that he could just distract the zookeeper long enough to get a decent meal.
Leo and Leonardo walked away and no one said anything or even got within 3 miles of them for fear of losing their precious legs. They understood each other and felt safe together. They were stopping to rest on a bridge and Leonardo was looking out at the beautiful sunset, while Leo the lion slowly fell asleep. Leonardo grew tired as well and used Leo as a pillow that night.

No one knows what became of Muschi the cat, but this pair’s inspiring story shows that if a cat and a bear

These stages are trust vs. mistrust, autonomy vs. doubt/shame, initiative vs guilt, industriousness vs inferiority, identity cohesion vs. role confusion, intimacy vs. isolation, generativity vs. stagnation, and ego integrity vs. despair.

The four warriors push the boy behind them and Argus quickly scoops him up, scaling one of the trees on the right side of the clearing, near the river. The sound of the river does little to cover the sound of the terrible roars of the approaching beast. Titos and the others on the ground are tense, not even daring to blink as the danger grows closer. The air seems to stay still for a moment before the Nemean Lion comes into view taking the large shrubs and a young tree right out of the ground. The Nemean lion, although a monstrosity, has a sunken in stomach and white milky eyes that seem to be set towards the direction of the tree that Argus and Ryn are perched in. The boy frowns at the lion’s state, hugging the dead rabbit to his chest tighter.

The renowned English writer Siegfried Sassoon once wrote in a poem:“In me the tiger sniffs the rose”. Animal imagery is everywhere around us, as well as in the fantastic story of Pi. In Yann Martel’s Life Of Pi, the use of animal imagery plays an important role because it personifies Pi’s personalities, it symbolize Pi’s survival condition, and it reflects Pi’s negative side. Animal instinct personifies Pi’s positive personalities. In the context of Pi’s second story, in which Pi himself was the tiger, he felt grateful: “Without Richard Parker, I wouldn’t be alive to tell you my story” (Martel P89).
