How do animal life novels contribute to our understanding of nature?

Animal novels can show us the instincts of different animals. For example, in 'The Call of the Wild', we see Buck's natural instincts gradually emerging. This gives us an idea of how animals in the wild behave based on their primal urges.

Animal based novels help us understand animals by giving them personalities and emotions. For instance, in 'Charlotte's Web', we see Charlotte as a caring and intelligent friend to Wilbur. This makes us think of spiders not just as creepy crawlies but as beings with feelings. In 'The Call of the Wild', Buck's transformation shows us the wild instincts that dogs may still have deep inside them.

Knotting animal stories contribute to our understanding of animal intelligence as they show animals' problem - solving abilities. For instance, when an octopus knots itself to escape a tight spot, it implies that it can think and act in a way to free itself. This is a sign of intelligence.

It helps us realize that animals are more complex communicators than we thought. By understanding their languages, we can better understand their behaviors and roles in nature.

They provide personal perspectives. For example, in 'Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close', through the eyes of a child, we see the raw confusion and pain that the 9/11 attacks brought. This gives a more human and relatable view compared to just the news reports.

They add another dimension. We can see that the cruelty was not just limited to humans. It shows the all - encompassing nature of the horror. If animals were also mistreated, it emphasizes how the ideology of the time devalued all forms of life.

Fictional character books show different aspects of human nature. For example, in 'Macbeth', we see the destructive power of ambition through Macbeth's character. Characters in books often have flaws and virtues, just like real people, which helps us recognize these qualities in ourselves and others.

Feral children stories contribute to our understanding of human nature by showing how much our environment shapes us. Without proper human interaction, we can lose many of the characteristics we consider 'human'. For example, language acquisition is severely hampered.

They contribute by visualizing the events. For example, in 'The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation', complex information is presented in a more digestible way through illustrations. This helps people who may not have read the full text - heavy report to understand what happened.

Historic novels contribute by bringing history to life. They let us see historical events through the eyes of fictional characters. For example, in 'The Pillars of the Earth' by Ken Follett, we get a sense of what it was like to build a cathedral in the Middle Ages. It shows the social, economic and political aspects of that time in a more engaging way than a history textbook.
