Quote: As everyone knows eyes speak.


Question: How was the narrator be able to understand what the gorilla was saying by just looking at its eyes?

Comments: well in this part of the book the narrator is talking to the gorilla and the narrator is very surprise that the gorilla is speaking to him. The gorilla was trying to just tell the narrator his story but the narrator was very distracted that an animal was speaking to him. The narrator had asked for his name but the gorilla explained that when they were little well in the 30's they were usually taken from their mothers and their mothers would get killed and they would be animal collected. Which the gorilla was telling the narrator about the animal problems. Well this quote caught my attention because I agree with it because if you actually try it you can usually understand what emotions they are feeling. which apparently the narrator saw the gorillas eyes and he saw the way he felt being sold to the zoo and getting taken away from the mother. But not only did the narrator understand what the gorilla was saying by looking at his eyes he was also talking to him with words.
