Sentence:

Human beings are the only animals of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid.

By – George Bernard Shaw

 

Interpretation:

After reading this sentence I automatically thought of a reverse role among animals and humans. My picture depicts a zoo in which humans are the creatures enclosed and the animals are the ones free and visiting the zoo. This picture has meaning to me because it represents the irony I believe exists within our world. Humans are considered supreme but yet we’re the only creates that kill for enjoyment and have to right to roam free. However, animals who only hunt for the purpose of their own survival are the ones encaged for our enjoyment. This is why I had the sentence coming from the elephant to express that animals are not the ones to be feared but rather humans who are capable of horrible acts in the attainment of money, power, and status.
