In a Cage

I'm back! I had a lovely time in NYC, and one of my favorite parts was seeing all of the beautiful creatures in the Central Park Zoo (I'm a big-time animal lover). This little visit got me thinking and inspired the following topic for you to write about!

Imagine that a new type of zoo has just opened, except you are the creature in the cage on display. When people come to see you, what information do they learn about your habits and your lifestyle? Design your own information card that would be on your cage that would tell visitors all about the creature inside. Also, describe what kind of habitat your cage would simulate (Be creative! Does your cage look like a coffee shop or a garden patio? It can be anything! Go in detail!) Thinking deeper - who would you say, if anyone, is your trainer? Who has the most control over you and your actions? If you are a creature who "performs", what do the zoo visitors expect to see you do?

Good luck and best writing!
