Unlikely Friendships
By: Jennifer S. Holland
Started the day we picked out our book of the month and ended on November 9th.
I read 207 pages.
I would rate this book a ten out of ten
I wonder if all animals can be like the ones portrayed
in this book or if it is just not normal and these animals in the book are more
or less one of a kind. What if all animals could be friends with one another?
It would be interesting to know whether or not these animals in the book know
that they are friends with another species of animal completely different than their
own. They should be enemies if anything because in most cases one of the
animals should be eating the other rather than making friends with it. What has
to go on in the mind to tell them it is okay to do something that for the most
part seems very unlikely to happen? I think that every one of these animals is making
a decision to do what they think is right. Rather than fighting with each other
they try to find common grounds and become great friends. It is good to see
that animals have feelings to and this is a great example of it. They all
clearly have happy or in some cases hurt feeling which is why they go out of
their way to look for comfort, even if the comfort lies at the hands of a different
animal entirety. I am surprised that some of these animals were able to become
friends because of their differences. For example, there was one case where a
snake had become friends with a hamster. A snake and a hamster in my opinion
are there most unlikely animals to form a friendship. Hamsters are related to
rats and mice which on any occasion would be a snake’s dinner. Why would this
time be any different? The snake made a decision not to eat the hamster and all
it took was a little bit of time before they were friends. I’m not sure that
all animals are like this. It’s just lucky that some animals are able to form a
special friendship between them. Besides, wouldn’t it be bad for all animals to
be like this? If all animals were friends with each other than where would they
get food? I mean you not going to eat your friend. People would have to make food
for every animal on Earth! Although it seems that these animals can’t become friends
it not necessary true. Any two things can become friend as long as you give the
other one a little time to try. Maybe that what people should do, give everyone
a little time and give yourself less time to judge them and more time to become
there friend.
