The book that I have been reading is called Woman in the Mist. It is a true story about Dian Fossey. This book relates to a lot of what actually is happening in the world and even related to me. It relates to the world because it takes place in Africa and talks a lot about how people have cause the loss of habitat in the area of Africa that she has been studying. This is happening all over the world and humans are often poaching animals and are destroying their habitat just like what we have seen in the book.
Dian Fossey grew up wanting to be a vet because she loved animals and felt like she could really connect to the animals. When I get older I want to be a vet because I really love animals. Dian Fossey grew up around animals and on a farm constantly with them. All though I have never lived on a farm I was born and grew up with 2-4 dogs my entire life and with lots of interesting animals like turtles, Lizards, Hamsters, and rats. I think it would be amazing to get to travel to an exotic place to see the animals out in their natural habitat.
I believe that Dian Fossey is a lot alike Jane Goodale. I don't know a lot about either one so far but what i know is that the both went to see Large monkeys. In Jane's case the were chimpanzees and in Dian's case they were Mountain Gorillas. They both spent lots of time with the animals and learned a lot about them and their habitat. They have raised awareness of the animals they loved and have helped the animals. Hopefully in the future people will be able to keep raising awareness about the animals they love and keep helping those animals.
She sounds interesting, do you think she decided to do what she does because of Jane? Or were they at the same time? You mentioned that you want to be a vet and that she is a vet, is she like a vet for monkeys? Cause that would be pretty cool.
