11 December 2012 Synthesis Prompt- Topic: Do Animals Have Souls? The definition of a soul differs from person to person. To some‚ what makes a human different from the rest of the animals is the soul.

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.

Instead to keep animals in zoos why do not we help them to coexist and survive in their own habitat? It is very easy to go to
