There were so many heroes during World War two from soldiers to people who hid Jews, and there is probably no one way to tell them all, yet they most definitely should be. In the true war story, The Zookeeper’s Wife, by Diane Ackerman, Jan and Antonia Zabinski a married couple, who were Zookeeper’s at the zoo in Warsaw before and during World War two, save the lives of hundreds of Jews. They were able to do this in a number of different ways including hiding them in the animal cages at the zoo and at the family’s villa. They also worked with the Underground, which was a polish resistance against the German invaders that operated in the underground railway system beneath Warsaw, who helped the Zabinski move Jews from the zoo to safer homes.
Animal Jam Based on experience, I have noticed that most clans will treat people as lower class. What I mean is, Non Literate people If you type in a way that sounds, profound, and like a writer... You will be treated as a middle or upper class..
They Cage the Animals at Night by Jennings Burch is a picaresque journey to the heart or even the very soul of humans, and it can be compared to a madman trying to procure peace and tranquility. At every pit stop he makes, his wisdom increases and is affected by others, positively or negatively. Jennings Michael Burch, the young, feeble, and reticent protagonist, is on a crusade to find the true meaning of love, peace, and tranquility which started with him being dissevered from his family and taken from home to home and from institution to institution. Several times he questions himself if it truly is imperative for him to love and if it is worth the loss. Unlike Andy of Tears of a Tiger, Jennings has the courage and selflessness to withstand

One of this week’s readings focused on Ch. 5, “Caged Birds,” in Professor Lytle Hernandez’s book City of Inmates: Conquest, Rebellion, and the Rise of Human Caging in Los Angeles, 1771-1965, and this chapter was particularly interesting because it further explained the development of immigration control in the United States. As a continuation from the last chapter, there was a huge emphasis in the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the Geary Act of 1892. This essentially prohibited Chinese laborers from immigrating to the United States, as well as eventually requiring these people to comply with regulations. “Caged Birds” encapsulates the events afterwards, as the book heads well into the early-1900’s. The disenfranchisement of immigrants develops towards further exclusivity because “[by] 1917, Congress had banned all Asian immigration to the Unites States and also categorically prohibited all prostitutes, convicts, anarchists, epileptics, ‘lunatics,’ ‘
The Hindu religious traditions and practices with regards to the perspective on animals is that nature is sacred, with God and nature being one and the same (Kemmerer p 56). Animals and World Religions by Lisa Kemmerer is a book written about how religions of the world view non human animals. Chapter 2, Hindu Traditions, focuses on the role of non human animals in the Hindu religion. Kemmerer starts out by giving some details about the background of the Hindu religion. Hindu verses or scriptures and traditions date back nearly four thousand years in India (Kemmerer p 56).
Zoo’s! By: Eliza Momberger Animals shouldn’t be used as toys and entertainment. Based on the two passages, “Zoos: Joys or Jails,” by Rachel F., and,”Why
In the book “Maus” by Art Spiegelman the characters are identified in different animals based on the country tthey are from. They are found throughout the whole story in the pictures. I believe the author is doing this based on stereotypes from all there given countries. I believe he is also doing this to show the animal potrayals are chosen for a reason.
Oklahoma By Aneesh Nattuva You are looking at the wild armadillos, coyotes, rabbits, otters, and maybe even a black bear at the fields of growing grass. But then all of a sudden you see the state’s animal, the big and bulky bison! The bison that you are looking at is not alone. Along with that bison, another bison appears, then another, and another, until a whole herd appears.
One example is that some animals can get a disease called zoochosis and it is shocking what zoos will do when trying to hide it. For instance, “As Dr Keith Lindsay, a biologist with more than 30 years of experience in elephant research and conservation, has said, these are symptoms of “pathological, stereotypical behaviour that is common with disturbed animals in captivity, but which is never seen in the wild”. There are also cases of animals being given antidepressants to hide their unhappiness from visitors. In 2015 Auckland Zoo euthanised a gibbon, Iwani, because he was “severely depressed” and the zoo admitted they could not meet his welfare needs. ”(An unnatural environment)This is significant because it shows that when zoos commit wrongs and take problems into their own hands it most often ends up worse.
Imagine living in the perfect home, the place you’ve always lived with friends, family and thousands of miles to roam around and explore. Only to wake up in a cage with the eyes of humans glaring and the flash of cameras reflecting off the glass wall. It looks like home, but the grass is fake, family and friends are gone, food only comes at certain times and the only roaming there is to do remains in the area of the closure. This is the life of an animal that goes from being wild and free to captive in zoos and aquariums. Zoos and aquariums are institutions that capture live animals and keep them in cages or large enclosures for public exhibition.
Although zoos seem to portray an educational factor they fail to teach people about the natural world. Over 2,800 children were surveyed from the London zoo and demonstrated a lack of learning outcome (Zoos Neither Educate nor Empower Children). Zoos claim they teach children about how to become conservationists, but children fail to believe they can actually make a difference. “It is hardly surprising to learn that most children visiting zoos are neither empowered nor educated by the experience of seeing captive wild animals so far removed from their natural habitat. Zoos present an entirely false view of both the animals themselves and of the real and very urgent issues facing many species in their natural homes,” says Liz Tyson director from Captive Animal’s Protection Society (Zoos Neither Educate nor Empower Children).
Zoos are bad for humans, most people do not believe it but zoos are not educating us, they are hurting us. Evidence for zoos are bad for humans is, in 2013, a zookeeper in Missouri was killed when he was knocked to the ground by an elephant, he died instantly.(Estrada). This reason this matters is because zoo animals are killing people, and that would not happen as often if they were left in the wild. Animals in films are not as nice as they are on camera. For example, the orca featured in the film “Blackfish,” is responsible for three human deaths.
“Caged Bird” written by Maya Angelou in 1968 announces to the world her frustration of racial inequality and the longing for freedom. She seeks to create sentiment in the reader toward the caged bird plight, and draw compassion for the imprisoned creature. (Davis) Angelou was born as “Marguerite Annie Johnson on April 4, 1928 in St Louis, Missouri”. “Caged Bird” was first published in the collection Shaker, Why Don’t You Sing? 1983.
