This weeks reading by John Berger, is interesting as he gives insight into the connection between animal and man. What I found intriguing was the strong link between a mans and animals wisdom. I can see that it is obvious that Berger makes clear analogies between man and animal, for example he relates animals being in a zoo to humans in a ghetto, as they perhaps live in similar ways and think similar thoughts. Berger writes that humans also like to have pets, as those animals in a way complete humans, as the animals characteristics match the humans, yet in a way that humans may not perhaps say or do daily. Although I do understand what John Berger is saying, that there is a connection between man and animal, I suppose I found it hard reading as I could not see the relevance to the course, and although I did find this reading interesting, I guess I did not see the purpose of the reading in terms of this course.
