# data[].attributes.headline
I think I agree with what he is saying in this novel but I do think humans have the ability to change.  He is saying that there is not a huge difference between us and animals and sometimes we just destroy to destroy or kill to kill and a lot of us are greedy and don't think about others feelings.  But I believe that some times with there right motivation or the right feeling or past experiences that people go through we can become more compashonite and we can also learn from other people and animals instead of taking.  I think a lot of his writing had to do with his own experience and what he saw but now even from then I think a lot of people have grown with compassion and give more but I think that has also made more people more greedy and selfish so the world got more split as it got more caring and excepting.  This just goes to show you how much the world can change in a short period of time and how different experiences and different views can shape someones opinion and how they act and what they want and the way they are towards people.  This is what I think the book is telling and how I interpreted it.
