JOURNAL #20

If I were to choose any specie of animal to talk to, I would choose the an amphibian, such as the frog. Amphibians are known for living the best of the underwater world and the dry land above. Most would have to live strictly by the lines of aquatic life such as tadpoles but later grow up not only to adjust in their home environment but to a new territory above the surface of the water. This phenomenal transition intrigues me into wanting to know more of their experience, similar to one growing up in their homeland and moving into a new country; yet amphibians have that instinct where they both seem balanced in adjustment of water and land. Adaptation is harsh to a human be it an adjustment to foreign land or to the alienation of adulthood, and other concepts of drastic change such as assimilation to new culture.

I think that frogs have adaptation more drastic than any other animal, so I would heed advice from it for the entities of adaptation. Another form of adaptation frogs had to develop is caused by humans which explains their rapid decline to being endangered and in borderline extinction. Their acclimation cannot save them from such instances where rainforests are cut down relentlessly, home of the exotic frogs. Their bright warnings in vivid color cannot save them now from the vicious predators that are human beings.
If the frog was interrogated on the issue of such rapid extinction, then his voice would be heard. Actually, if all animals were given the ability to possess the creative minds of human beings, they would be able to write and induce the human hearts as their word on experience is heard, just as oppressed historical figures have done, such as Frederick Douglass.The world of eliminating beautiful nature and rapid consumption of natural resources would take a much different course if all animals who are almost in extinction could speak and communicate well with humans. Sadly, they do not have the capacity of the human mind, making it an excuse to treat animals inhumanely.

In reality, if I could speak with any specie of animal, I would speak to the ones almost extinct. I will record their biography and distribute it to the public and maybe others would be aware and willing to take action.
