    safer in zoos,and things always escape something not somewhere. While reading the book despite the fact that the first part seemed very dry it is actually riddled with life lessons. One of these life lessons found in the first 90 pages really sticks with the reader, and says “life will defend itself no matter how small it is” this quote from the book perfectly shows and summarizes the moral of this lesson.

    The zoo, as an institution, has changed and evolved over thousands of years of human history. And while zoological gardens have improved immensely, and now appear to have a greater purpose than its predecessors, it has always, and still is, generating an active debate over its existence.

    the story Pi talks about why animals may act vicious, and how there are decent intentions behind it. A woman at the zoo had once randomly “thrust her hand in the cage and waved the end of her sari in the lion’s face” (Martel 30). The lion is provoked by the woman, yet he did not attack her.
