The middle of three brothers, loving parents, a middle-class home in Paterson, New Jersey. I have gotten to this dubious position with absolutely no planning, and at no stage in my life could I have predicted it. As much as Andy doesn't want to get involved-anything to avoid a new case-he can't help but come to the rescue of a man who'd risk everything, even his life, to reunite with his dog. The man claims his life is in danger, and that's why he disappeared. But when the murdered man contacts Beth, asking for his dog back, Andy knows there must be more to the story. But when a friend asks him for a favor that involves both dogs and his lawyerly expertise, he can't say no.Īndy's friend Beth has found a stray that seems to have belonged to a murder victim-in fact, the man and two of his colleagues died in an explosion a few weeks ago.

There were certain parts that could have moved along more quickly. I stayed engaged throughout most of the book, and Hale’s style is both literary and profound. He even gets cosmetic surgery to make him look more human.īruno’s life and adventures easily fill this lengthy tome without getting too redundant and tedious. Bruno becomes more and more human and less and less animal as he becomes Lydia’s lover and learns language. This is really when the novel begins to dip more deeply into the philosophical and existential questions of what it means to be human and what the rights of animals are. With this spectacular new skill, one of the scientists, Lydia, took Bruno home to live with her. With the help of a janitor who visited Bruno late at night at the lab, Bruno slowly learned to speak. He stood out so much that the scientists brought him to their lab for more experiments. When a group of scientists visited the Lincoln Park Zoo to perform some cognitive tests on the chimps there, Bruno stood out for his superior abilities. The novel is told first person from Bruno to Gwen, a transcriber who is recording Bruno for his memoirs.īruno Littlemore is a very special chimpanzee.

Words forking lightning: Forking lightning serves as a metaphor for leaving lasting change, just as redirecting lightning changes its course.ĭeeds dancing: Their deeds could have been the center of attention, frolicking for all to see.Ĭatching and singing the sun in flight: The men the stanza discusses adventured, full of vitality, but "learned too late" that their efforts were ultimately fruitless, like someone trying to catch the sun.īlind men who see with blinding sight: These men may be literally blind, as Thomas's father was as his death approached, but they also may be figuratively blinded by their age. Throughout the poem, night and darkness are used as metaphors for death, while light and day represent life. They seize attention, just as meteors light up the night sky. "Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay": Like meteors, these men's eyes are bright, vivid, and yet in some ways inhuman. 5/11/2023 0 Comments Carl the dungeon crawlerThat's the only way to truly survive in this game - with the help of the loot boxes dropped upon you by the generous benefactors watching from across the galaxy.
