Question

How is the relationship between animals and humans important in "Where the Wild Things Are" and "Possum Crossing"? Be sure to use text evidence to support your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

The two works show that humans and animals cohabit.

Explanation:

"Where the Wild Things Are," tells the story of a young man named Max who did not really get along with his parents at home. His mother once called him a 'wild thing' and that made him resolve to go to where the wild things are. He was also made to sleep without eating on that day. The animals accept him into their fold and even made him their leader. He soon discovers that it was not so easy to lead the animals.

"Possum Crossing", is a poem where the poet talks about how humans cohabit with animals and especially have to contend with them for the roads. He recommended a Possum Crossing for the Possum so that they are not mistakenly hit by a coffee-gurgling driver.
