I know this because he says, “Five severed fingers don’t make a hand.” which explains that, even though he was in an enclosure with other gorillas like him, he still wasn’t part of a family. On page 12, the narrator, a gorilla named Ishmael, says that says that the family he was a part of in Africa was like a hand, everyone works together as a whole, but each individual “finger” is perfectly capable of moving and doing things on it’s own. Even if you haven’t read the book, you can leave a critique or feedback of my work if you would like to. ![]() If you have already read the book or have started, feel free to comment on your thoughts on the book, my report, whatever you like, just no spoilers, please. It’s important to note that I haven’t finished the entire book - I’m only just finishing the introductory first couple of pages. The book is about a man and a telepathic gorilla named Ishmael “saving the world” (you can’t make this stuff up, folks!)Īnyways, I had to do a report on the metaphor used in the book for class, and I thought it would be a cool thing to share with all of 10 people reading my blog. In one of my classes for school, I have been reading a book called Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. ![]()
