The books Bird by Bird and David and Goliath‚ by Anne Lamott and Malcolm Gladwell respectively‚ provide their readers with many new ideas and ways of thinking about the world around them.

“Animals are not ours to eat‚ wear‚ experiment on‚ use for entertainment‚ or abuse in any other ways.” (Peta) The topic I chose to protest for is animal abuse. Not just any animal abuse but circus animal abuse. Animals are fun and to see them do things animals don’t really do.
