Blog 2 - Ishmael Discussion

 Our discussion was 1/19/2022 7-7:30pm.

We talked about how Ishmael talked a lot about the idea that the world was made for men or that man was created for the world. The takers and leavers show both ideas. We noticed how leavers are the people who discovered how to build settlements and use the land to farm. Takers view the world's resources as their own and have destroyed the environment. 

We also talked about how humans take animals from the wild and put them in zoos and carnivals. Ishmael's own experience in captivity changed how he thought. When he met Mr. Sokolow, he began reading his books and educating himself. He also could easily escape but decided no to since he liked to observe the people around him.
