    In the story “The Giraffe” by Mauro Senesi the giraffe is given human like characteristics such as feeling cold, getting frightened and crying. When first brought into the town the giraffe is an unusual sight for everyone. There are people that appreciate the giraffe like the boys and some freak out when they see the “beast”. The giraffe starts to feel cold when the story progresses into night time. “When all the shutters had been closed with a bang, a tremor seemed to pass down the animal's long legs” (Senesi 30).

    Have you ever looked at a horse and wonder how we got to the modern horse we have today? Imagine a world where there were horses of all colors, sizes, shapes were roaming the earth, but was no bigger than a size of a dog. Today’s horses only represent a fraction of the horse family tree, known as Equine. All the other branches of horses called Equidae are now extinct. The Equid family appeared 55 million years ago, in North America, which branched off into different genera such as grazers, left browsers, and mixed feeders. Today the Equid family is only represented by Equus genus, that is composed of seven to nine species, including zebras, asses, donkeys, and horses. These species are also in the order Perissodactyla, or odd-toed animal. Tracking the line of descent from Hyracotherium to Equus reveals several evident patterns: degradation of toe number, increase increment of molar teeth, extending of the face, and growth in body size; but these patterns are not found in all the horse lines.…

The novel starts off on New Year's Eve in Hampshire, England, the story takes place on a wildlife reserve, in Sawubona, Zimbabwe, in South Africa.. For one, Sawubona is where Martine’s grandfather died while trying to escape the poachers who were trying to kill the giraffes at the reserve. Not only that, it is also the place where the legend of the white giraffe had originated and where the white giraffe supposedly lives.

Ethnologists Edita Horová, Karolína Brandlová and Markéta Gloneková have observed changes in social organisation of captive giraffes as giraffe herds do not have a distinctive individual leading the herd; but in captivity despite not having one specific leader, it is observed the elder giraffe both male and female, known as the dominant hierarchy, do influence the behaviour of the herd.

We observed the giraffe herds walking behaviour 40% of the time in our 60 minute behavioural sampling.…

    I can relate to the giraffe because the giraffe thought she was helping the elephant by giving him advices on losing weight but she did it a close minded way. The reason why I can relate to this because I give out unsolicited advice that some people might consider to be criticism. I can relate to the elephant when the elephant said “But to tell you the truth, I’m not sure that a house designed for a Giraffe will ever really work for an Elephant unless there are some major changes.” Because I think it explain how you should never judge someone for who they are and you should look at the elements of their culture and to be aware of cultural Identity. Yes I think the giraffe and the elephant can work constructively together if they choosing…

    The short story The Giraffe, written by Mauro Sensi, provides me with insight of the complexity of everyday life by helping me understand the purpose of what I see, experience, or do from day to day. It helps me understand the purpose of why people purchase the things they do and why people say the things they do. In everyday life, I come across many people who own many different things. The reasoning behind most of their purchases is usually very simple, they either just needed or wanted the thing they purchased.…
