But I totally disagree with his view on the zoos. In the book the narrator’s view is totally opposite. He assumes and thinks that keeping animals in cages is normal to them and they don’t mind… He persuades us to think

City of the Beasts Dialectical Journal “In the center‚ the pale light filtering through the window” (8). At first I thought the dad was hurting the mom because she was crying. Then I realized he was holding the razor in‚ there were clumps of hair on the floor‚ and she was bald. I think this is a good example of visual imagery.
