In the book The One and Only Ivan by K.A. Applegate, I learned about how important it is to have someone or something to keep you company. The book is about a gorilla who lives in a domain in the mall, alongside an elephant, and a stray dog. The gorilla (Ivan), always thinks about the wild, since there is a mural of the jungle. Ivan aspires to be in the jungle where he belongs, but he knows that it’s not possible. Thanks to his elephant friend, she takes his mind off of all the negativity that is going on in his life. This has taught me that even though your life may be going downwards, there is always something positive that you should think of. Having a friend is very important and humans need friends. They’re people that you can share your feelings with, and just let it all come out.
