New Journal #2

Many event is occurring in the book ISHMAEL. One of the most important thing that is happening is the "journey" that Ishmael is going to take his human friend. Ismael also explained about his past and how he became what he is. He explained that his previous owner realized that he wasn't just any animal but one that can think  and reason. Soon his owner started teaching him how to talk. This process took a while but soon Ismael was capable of speaking. Soon afterward, Ishmael and his owner started to study together about things that went on in the world. Within some time, Ishmael surpass his owner and became a thinker himself. Even after his owner dies, Ismael is still in search of knowledge.

I feel like Ishmael is really smart, because of all the things he revealed about the world when he was talking. I also think that Ishmael have a lot of free time. Without that much time, he could of never thought about all those things that is wrong in the world.

I dislike the authors style of writing, because it makes you wait too long for the good part.

I predict that they're going on a long journey.

Questions----
Why the author pick Ishmael to be an animal?
Why didn't the author give the name of the human person.
