Loss Of Innocence In Zootopia
In Zootopia, the authors use the loss of innocence to reveal how we as humans tend to look at a person and judge them by their looks, not by their heart. This means that humans tend to judge a “book by its cover”rather than actually finding out who they are. You will never know if they are nice and caring or mean and sad.
In the beginning of Zootopia, Judy was in a play that was talking about how Zootopia is a place where every animal comes together. In the play, it states that “every young mammal has opportunities.” “I don't have to be in a heard anymore, instead I can be an astronaut”clapping in the distance. “I don't have to be a lonely hunter anymore, today I am going to be an actionuany” clapping in the distance. “I can make the world

    The last example of loss of innocence can be seen in “ 5 Chimneys”. When Olga Lengyel first arrived at Auschwitz she didn’t know much about what was going to happen to her next. This shows the innocence that she had, as she lived in Auschwitz she quickly realized that the rumors she had heard about were true. This quote shows that: “I already knew that a selection meant the gas chamber,” (Lengyel 65). Olga knew that at all times she was at risk of being selected. This life she lived in constant fear showed a loss of innocence. At this time she became aware of death in the camp and now thought of it at all times. At some times she even gave into the idea that she had no chance and that by working hard in the camp was just prolonging the inevitable……

    In the short story Marigolds, Eugenia Collier writes, “This was the beginning of compassion, and one cannot have compassion and innocence.” How do we know when one has lost his or her innocence? The definition of innocent in free from moral wrong; not corrupted. The definition of compassion is sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others. The sentence is a paradox because when you lose your innocence you now have compassion.…

    Finding within it all the places it needs- a lookout, a place for resting, for eating and drinking, for bathing, for grooming-etc. – and finding that there is no need to go hunting, food appearing six days a week, an animal will take possession of its zoo space in the same way it would lay claim…” I disagree with the fact that the cages are the animal’s territory and home. Just because the cage can fulfill the basic needs (resting, look out, eating, and bathing) that doesn’t mean its territory. The animal is being forced to live in the cages and so it has to deal with the situation and cope with it. Where he says “… fulfilled by close by and safely” he is wrong. The bars around the cage aren’t for safety for the animals but for simply keeping it inside its cage. It’s a safety for us! How does this even make sense in the first place? It’s basically saying that, someone a human is forced to live in a cage where he/she will be supplied with food and calling that cage their home! Their safe, have a place to eat, rest, lookout… It’s the human’s territory and home now because it will stay there forcefully until it dies… You can also look at this like this. You see a lady bug crawling around. So you take a jar and cover it atop it. You give it food/water daily… So basically now the jar is its home…

    During the reading of the story “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara” many thoughts have come to my mind on how to react towards the attitude and the feelings of the protagonist, Sylvia. The day starts when Ms. More brings the kids to downtown New York City in a special shop. Many things will occur at this place and one thing that we will notice is the innocence throughout the interactions of the kids. As they step inside FAO Schwarz, an important and well known store in the city, they happen to see toys, like a small toy sailboats at prices around 1000$ and other things at ridiculous prices! Not understanding how people could spend that much for such little things, the underprivileged neighborhood kids don’t seem to make such a big deal out of it, and are more amazed than anything. Except for Sylvia, she notices the reason of her trip here, and her moral innocence towards this isn’t at the same level as the others ……

    To an outsider zoo's can appear to be various environments, harsh or beneficial, for example, but is there more than meets the eye? Many zoos will use conservation as a buzzword because it will catch attention and draw you to believe things as said in Rob Laidlaw’s, “Zoos Myth and Reality.” On the contrary, Michael Hutchins, author of “Zoos Connect us to the Real World, states there is much coverage of the positive nurturing of zoos. Overall, today zoos are more educated and take utmost care of their animals, plus 90% of accredited mammals were born in zoos, and now zoos are really striving to improve the lives of their animals.…
