over America and zoos are the criminal’s behind it! Not too long ago‚ a Tiger was poisoned in a Nevada Zoo. The zookeepers claim they did it for the animals “own good”‚ They claim that it was all just a myth. Another incident‚ in the same Nevada Zoo‚ an animal was not fed and starved to death.

Symbolism in “The Last Leaf” “A cold‚ unseen stranger‚ whom the doctors called Pneumonia‚ stalked about the colony‚ touching one here and there with his icy fingers” (Henry 1). This unseen stranger dominates the topic as the story goes on. Throughout the story the main character‚ Johnsy‚ has two major involvements with hope; one positive‚ one negative.
