Answers
Essay writing on the statement "Captivity is the greatest curse one suffers from. No one want to be behind bars" with reference to the poem "The Tiger in the Zoo".
Explanation:
The poem "The Tiger in the Zoo" by Leslie Norris presents an image of a caged tiger who, instead of "lurking in the shadow" or "terrorizing the village" is "locked in a concrete cell". The animal is left with nothing to do but be a 'display' for the humans.
The picture that the poet presents of the tiger tells a great many deals about the situation of caged or captive animals. Especially a wild animal like a tiger should be "snarling around houses, [...] baring his white fangs, his claws". But none of that occurs, and is left "stalking the length of his cage". And instead of being in the wild, hunting and roaming about, he is left in the cage, "star[ing] at with his brilliant eyes, at the brilliant stars".
