What are the good words and sentences of The One and Only Ivan ?

1 Ultimately, the freedom that animals gain is limited.

2 Instead of returning to its homeland, it went to a zoo, which was actually a larger cage.

3 But at least it is much freer than it used to be, and it has companions, and its fellow citizens are not alone.

4 That may be all it is after. Simple, childish, even ridiculous. But it is true and firm. Even enslaved, small beings have the right to dream.

5 There are often unexpected talents and ideas. In a given situation, even an inconspicuous little person can burst out with amazing action.

6 Even if this reason is really ridiculous, in the eyes of some "bigwigs" who are "on top", it is a real pursuit.

7 Never ask yourself where you came from ** to **. He had long been accustomed to the human gaze, to flashing lights and pointing.

8 Although it is not necessary to give in return, those who are unwilling to give will not succeed.

9 As time passed, human knowledge of animal needs and behavior grew, and society became increasingly uneasy about Ivan's solitary state.

10 The meaning of life is to find the truth, and the life in the cage has no color.

The One and Only Ivan is based on a true story by writer Katherine Applegate and won the Newbery Medal for Children's Literature. The story follows a silverback gorilla, an elephant and a stray dog living in a shopping mall who are kept in cages and put on a talent show for a steady stream of customers every day. The gorilla, named Ivan, was able to paint, but he had no memory of what he had experienced before he came to the mall, and he felt that it was his home.

The elephant's name is Stella, and she remembers her life very well, disliking shopping malls, loving her previous life in the circus, and especially longing to live in a zoo where the animals have more space and better treatment.

Soon, the mall welcomed a new animal, a newborn baby elephant, Ruby. Stella took on the responsibility of taking care of Ruby, but the good times did not last long, and Stella was dying. Before dying, Stella asked Ivan to take care of Ruby.

Ivan keeps his promise and takes on the responsibility of taking care of Ruby, but he discovers that Ruby is being abused by his owner, and at the same time he remembers his free life before coming to the mall. So, Ivan came up with a way to save himself and the other animals. He drew a picture that caught the attention of animal protection activists, and soon the owner's cruelty to the animals was a**, the mall closed the show, and Ivan and Ruby were sent to the same zoo, fulfilling Stella's unfulfilled wish.

The story of Ivan One of a Kind is based on the gorilla "Ivan", who lived in the Mall of Washington for 27 years and was later sent to the Atlanta Zoo.

In the end, there is still a limit to the freedom of animals.
