Find Your Howl by Jonathon Flaum
Jonathon Flaum spoke about two stories, that have a lot of subtext to them about life. I felt connected with the second story which was about a tiger being trapped in a cage in a zoo. The tiger wanted nothing more than to escape and be free but everytime that tiger escaped, it always ended up in another cage in another zoo. The author tried to convey that the zoo and cage are apart of the tiger and the tiger can just run away from it. Flaum's main point of this story is that we are all trapped in our own ways to something even if we don't realize it. We can't just run away or forget about something in a heart beat.
Flaum states that the author, of the tiger story, lesson was there is nowhere to run! Flaum also states that, "There is no easy escape from a situation that we ourselves created, because that situation, despite appearances, is no longer just outside us, it lives inside us." I relate to this story and this statement because it explains what kids feel like when they leave for college. They feel relieved at first because they are escaping all the rules that they had to follow at home and now have the chance to be free and make their own decisions. But little do they realize that they are entering a whole new undiscovered world for themselves a lone. They don't have mom or dad to help them through the hard parts in life. They also will discover new things about themselves and realize that they can never escape from rules because they are everywhere; they don't all just come from our parents.
