It hit me as I saw the zebra lying helpless being eaten from the inside out. Orange Juice - my only sense of hope was almost a faint memory. I watch on as the hyena is devouring the weak. Richard Parker is merely observing almost as if waiting to take the dominance of the boat. But in these moments I realize how desperation leads to savagery. The animals have lost the sense of civilization the zoo had provided for them. Throughout the reenactment of the food chain I have learned the importance of dominance. I must learn to show that I am not a peace of meat, but rather a member of the community we have established. I must show the same savagery to survive.
