Zoo or Animal’s Jail? When I was a child‚ I went to the zoo all the time with my family. I love animals and as a child I enjoyed watching them. I thought being able to see them in person would be neat‚ but once I saw them “up close and personal‚” it was evident that the animals were miserable.

Keeping animals in the zoos stops them from being who

Castellanos THE2000 Ms Janet Roney 12/1/12 The Zoo Story Edward Albee’s “The Zoo Story” is a one act play that shows what alienation and loneliness can drive a man to do.

The idea of The Zoo Story is about a middle class man with a
