First chapter – Nothing can be changed Long ago, world was divided in two. Vicious predator and meek prey. Then, thousands of years later, animals were like one. A big, strong nation, in the city of Zootopia where anyone could be anything. Today, they are divided in many, many, more. Big elephants, tall giraffes, tiny rats, striped zebras, scary wolfs, sly foxes, spotted leopards, etc, etc. Maybe they didn’t eat each other again, but they hated each other as if they did. And that happened in just 50 years. *** It was another regular evening in Downtown. In spite of nice, cozy feeling and slight breeze in the air, many animals were already at their homes after long day.

Memory of a record his mother used to play when he was young. He was lucky it was that one. Maybe his mind was trying to cheer him up? Well, he thought, it was doing it wrong. The only thing he could get from this was guilt and nostalgia. When I was a kid I thought Zootopia was this perfect place where everybody got along and anyone could be anything. Turns out, real life is a bit more complicated than slogan... It was difficult for him to focus on what he wanted to be focused right now. Chasing trained mammal without plan or idea about next move, was difficult. Just as difficult as it was to imagine how world changed since then. He couldn’t know how big that change was, but he heard enough stories old ones told secretly, describing a world where animals respected each other and more, enjoyed each other’s company. He could only imagine. ... We all have a lot in common... He couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if she somehow resurrected and held speech once again. These words would hurt listeners enough to shout on top of their voices it’s not true and count endless differences among
When animals around the planet begin to attack humankind, it is up to one man to persuade the world to take action, or allow themselves to perish. Jackson Oz, a dropout from Columbia University, has for years, been developing a theory called HAC or Human Animal Conflict. After noticing an increasing number vicious of animal attacks on humans, Oz dropped out of Columbia University to focus more on HAC, that raised several eyebrows from his peers. He has no job or PhD and is struggling. All over the world, brutal attacks are destroying entire cities.

Despite it all, there exist domains where the laws of nature blur and even cease to exist— one being our society. Mankind has created a societal structure wherein the natural world is no longer sovereign. Here, the laws of evolution
After the wonderful portrayal of nature, the author introduces the animals. The outcomes and negative impacts of the animals are not included to differ the animals from the humans. Without those factors “rabbits come out of the brush to sit on the sand in the evening.” The rabbits’ actions are harmless as the rabbits are not harming the sand and no adjectives are used to accuse the rabbits. Then “the damp flats are covered with the night tracks of ‘coons”, once again there is no outcome or negative feature described about the racoons.
Connell’s central idea develops through the dynamic characterization of Rainsford, “Rainsford did not smile. ‘I am still a beast at bay,’ he said, in a low, hoarse voice” (Connell 314). At the beginning of the story, Rainsford reasons with his hunting partner that animals are

An important aspect of both music and communication is making your thoughts relatable. Making something relatable will allow your audience to connect and care about it more knowing that they have felt similar things.

This song makes me reflect on a time where I once made a mistake with someone I was romantically interested.
In the film “Zootopia” the main issue that is focused throughout the movie is the presence of predators and prey. The movie also focuses on the somewhat social standards built in this “perfect” society. However, as we all know there are no “perfect” societies, and that every society has its flaws. We start with the first issue of how predators and prey should interact with each other. In one of the first scenes we see Judy, the bunny and one of the main characters of the movie, standing up for one of her friends from a fox.

There was no chattering or chirping of birds; no growling of bears and no chuckling of contented otters; instead, the clearing lay desolate and still, as though it never wished to be turned into day. The only occupants were rodents and spiders who had set their home in the dank, forgotten shack. From its base, dead, brown grass reached out, all the way to the edge of the tree-line, unable to survive in the perished, infertile soil that made up the foundations of the house. Bird houses and feeders swung still from the once growing apple trees, in the back garden, consigned to a life of
