In Chapter 10, we can see that Lily is starting to become enmeshed in the Boatwright’s family and culture, as a result of the very traumatic events that unfold. To begin with, during the night when Lily is sleeping, she wakes up with a start, thinking about May. She first thought about how she had died, but then thought about all the good memories she had of May like she had known her for the majority of her life. On page 199 it says "I closed my eyes, all the best pictures of her came to me. I saw her corkscrew braids glistening in the sprinkler, her fingers arranging the graham-cracker crumbs working so hard on behalf of a single roach's life." This indicates that Lily felt like family to May and that she knew May and what type of person

In the award-winning film We Bought a Zoo, directed by Cameron Crowe, Rosie Mee takes life as it is, and faces it with an adorably bright smile.

Lots of them don’t have hair, so that’s good.” (Crowe, x:xx) Rosie wants to be honest, but Rosie also doesn’t want to hurt his feelings. So, she maturely chooses to find some sort of good. Rosie remains optimistic and uplifting, even through the family’s hardest time. Later on in the film, the Mee family faces another challenge; they don’t have enough money to fix their already

I first watched The Zookeeper’s Wife when I was in the 6th grade. Although I did not understand all that was going on, I knew that it was retelling the horrors of the Holocaust. Six years later, this past summer, while sitting on the plane coming home from California, I came across the movie on the tiny, pixelated screen. Clicking on the movie, the summary read, “The Zookeeper's Wife tells the account of keepers of the Warsaw Zoo, Antonina and Jan Zabinski, who helped save hundreds of people and animals during the German invasion”. Sitting back in the less comfortable, cramped airplane seat, with pretzels in my hand and a blanket thrown over me, I pressed play.

A stereotypical teenager consists of always being moody, defiant, and never listening to a word their parents have to say. Dylan Mee was a stereotypical teenager. In the movie, We Bought a Zoo, Dylan Mee is a fourteen-year-old boy who has recently gone through a tremendous tragedy; the loss of his mother. With this loss, comes anger and sadness and with his hormones, comes defiance and irrational decisions. After becoming expelled from school, his father, Benjamin Mee believed that the best thing to do was to move out of the city; so, they did, to a property that contained a zoo. These changes have an enormous impact on Dylan’s psychosocial and cognitive development while in his adolescent stage.

The Disney film Zootopia, was an animated film based on animals which possess humanistic traits. In the past, there were distinct versions of predator and prey, however they now live together in “harmony”. Or, this was how a bunny, named Judy Hops, pictured this town known as Zootopia. When Judy decided to move to Zootopia to make her dream of becoming a cop come true she began to find out everything she had heard about animals living in peace was not exactly true. Animals were constantly fighting and showing discrimination toward one another. However, through determination, Judy proved herself as a reliable police officer by working on a missing otter case. From this case, she could finally make her dream come true, which is one of the many lessons that could be learned from this film.

“Man-eater, Chloe? Really? Look, I can’t cancel on Dylan now. You know how I hate telling people no. But if it makes you feel better, I won’t let him stay past 10 and I’ll call you when he leaves so you can make sure he’s gone.” Chloe is being overbearing, but it’s just because she cares about me. As my best friend, it’s her duty to protect me from myself; she has her work cut out for her.

It's pretty odd, life that is, when reduced to its basic essence, everything on this planet seems quite odd. The fact that we are made from the insides of stars, and that we live our lives with almost no tangible point rattles the mind. We commit to being authentic to ourselves, but we are also in inauthentic because we fear freedom. In Leo Tolstoy's the death of Ivan Ilyich, and T. S Elliot's love song of J. Alfred Prufrock, the existential concepts of commitment, and authenticity are used to show that living the examined life. Living authentically to avoid living inauthentically, will bring alienation, but in the end, will lead to commitment.

The teenage years are a very important time in our lives. It is the time when we try new things and figure out who we truly are through these experiences. Although it is a great time, it can also be frustrating. Sometimes we have trouble doing things because we may be the only one who believes in a certain belief, we may want to do something that our parents are strongly against. Although most of the time our parents know what’s best for us and they only tell us not to do some of the things we want because they’re looking out for us, sometimes they are wrong. As we get older, we learn what’s good at not good for ourselves. It’s one of the many things that happen when we start to grow up. This is seen in Alison Smith’s memoir Name All the Animals.

In the touching film, We Bought a Zoo, directed by Cameron Crowe, Dylan Mee stumbles through life on his own, always ends up pushing everyone away and even takes out his pain on other people. In the beginning of the story Dylan Mee was not like the other teens, he always pushed everyone away, liked to be alone, had a passion of drawing unpleasant things, and didn't are if he ever got in trouble because the punishment won’t be bad. In fact, he was sent to the principal's office after stealing a cash box from the school, which shows just how troubled and dark he is. “We're a three-strike school, Mr. Mee, and today was his fourth strike. I'm sorry. We have to expel Dylan.” (Crowe x:xx) Part of the reason Dylan acts so difficult is because he

The sun was shining, the sky was spotted with clouds, and the wind was whistling as it passed through the trees. Overall, it was the perfect day to visit the zoo. Smiling, happy children bounded beside me as I walked underneath the large, blue and yellow sign announcing “The Colorado Zoo.” As I walked onto the sidewalk, I looked out over the “habitats.” The big, colorful signs advertising the exotic animals “brought from all over the world!” Animals that were taken from their home, taken from their habitats, and taken to a world where they are put on display. Animals who are forced to live out their lives in zoos in unhealthy, degrading, and devastating ways.
