Zoo, By Edward D. Hoch

The novel The Zookeeper’s Wife begins with readers understanding the lives of the main characters, Jan, Antonina and their son Ryś. In early September 1939 the Nazis horribly destroyed the routine of daily life in Warsaw. The city was physically ruined, including many of the zoo’s buildings, shelters, and cages. Many of the innocent animals died in the bombings and the Nazi soldiers savagely murdered those who survived when they went on a fun killing spree. This caused the famous zoo to become a destroyed shadow of its former self. With most of the cages left abandoned, Jan and Antonina, the zookeepers of the Warsaw zoo, found it necessary to use these shelters as temporary hiding places for Jews on the run. This safe haven was provided

A trip to the Zoo is an exotic sensation, by being able to visually interact with foreign animals from all across the globe. This is a great place to take children, but comes with some danger if someone is not paying attention to others or themselves. There is a plethora of different types of Zoos across the globe and different animals that inhabit them.

On a breezy May afternoon, I was feeling joyous to start my new summer job, as I walked through the front entrance of John Ball Zoo. Excited to finally start working again. My heart pounded my chest that gave me a feeling like a hammer was sinking a nail into my heart. The idea of where to actually go hadn’t ever occurred to me until the moment I got past the ticket booth. Sadly the zoo was closed already, so there weren’t any employees I could find. So naturally I kept walking, seeking an answer to put my worries to rest. At a small black gate along the guest path, I spot a woman wearing a John Ball Zoo employee shirt. As I walked up to the employee, I asked the nice, short, red haired lady where to go, she directed

Edward Albee and his play of The Zoo Story is set on a bench located in New York City famous Central Park. This bench is the setting throughout the entire play as various topics are discussed. You first meet character Peter a clean cut man, who is sitting alone at this bench reading a paper while smoking on his pipe. Albee only gives a brief characterization on who the character is, but does not give you any background information of his life. This is because you find out more information throughout the play during the conversation between Peter and Jerry. Jerry is a carelessly dressed man who represents a lower social class and just trying to have conversation with people at the park. Jerry makes it known that he has just come from the zoo and finds Peter in central park and decides that he is the person that jerry wants to talk to.

American zoos developed in the midst of America’s transition from an agricultural to an industrial society. In an imposing industrial setting, city parks and zoos provided an intimate encounter with nature that had been previously foreign to urbanites. An invention of modern western culture, zoological parks provided education as well as amusement for the public. Jeff Stotts, zoo historian indicated “The three-pronged goal of the first zoos— public recreation, wildlife preservation, scientific and conservation education—shaped the development of the institution.” In the words of historian Elizabeth Hanson, “Natural settings in zoos were intended to confirm visitor expectations of a transcendent experience in the presence of natural wonders,

Close your eyes, and imagine the first time you went to the zoo. Animals you just see on

Oswald hummed lightly as he placed light blue clay on his nose, and making sure he can still breath through his nose. He had sprayed his black fur, blue for the party and changed his blue pants to yellow. The rabbit made sure his fur was dry before walking out of the bathroom, which connected to his and Ortensia's room.

In reality, almost everyone tells lies, basically to benefit one’s own interests. However, in trying so hard to convince others,

I take a whiff of the musty air, my little fingers tightening around my mother's hand as she gives me a gentle squeeze for protection. Her stern but loving hazel eyes follow me as I bob along the stone sidewalk, my jet black mary jane’s clopping like a horse against the cemented stone tiles indicating a pathway for the visitors of the zoo. I felt jitters run down my spine from excitement. My mother and I immediately made our way to the crowded bat exhibit, younger children screeching from fear or delight. As the door juters open, the faint smell of bat guano fills the air as a plague. I look up at my mom with my beautiful brown eyes as she holds a smile, attempting not to grimace from the putrid smell. I however, rush inside and straight to the figurine machine, begging my mom for the lion figure. Of course my mother caves in, placing a silver quarter that would blind me if the light hit it. My petite hand proceeded to harshly shove the quarter within the machine. We wait maybe two or three minutes before the brilliantly colored wax figurine outputted itself. It was scalding hot to my hands before I began to play with it. Well, that was until I quickly gave it to my mom, shoving it inside of her purse that was colored with floral print, the fringe hanging like still windchimes.

Boom! Shawn screamed bloody murder! Her mom’s car swerved around the road! Shawn was 15 and was on their way to New York, her mom was going to be a vet at the new zoo opening in a few days. Suddenly, a person in navy blue clothes and a dark colored hat emerged and pointed a gun at my mom! He belted out, “Get out of the car!”

Fear wafted from me as sweat trickled down my neck. Three interviewers towered over me, bombarding me with questions such as, “What would you do in this situation?” and “What would you do if..?” Each question was a test for my future at the Phoenix Zoo, and it would not be an easy pass. Attempting to keep myself from fidgeting, but the desire to become a Zoo Teen for Harmony Farm caused nails to be plucked and memories of how I ended up here to flood in.
