Solution
‘Mijbil the Otter’ and ‘A Tiger in the Zoo’ both focus on the need for freedom. A wild otter named Mijbil is first kept in captivity but yearns to be free. Despite being tamed, Mijbil’s playful personality and resistance to domestication show how much it wants to go back to nature.
Similar to this, the tiger in “A Tiger in the Zoo” is confined to a zoo with bars. In contrast to its constrained area, the tiger’s ferocious and restless motions represent its need for freedom.
Despite being kept in captivity, these animals exhibit an innate desire for freedom, demonstrating that all living things have a natural desire to be free from the restrictions of confinement and human intervention.
