Ivan~
Ivan’s first reaction to Ruby was kind of surprising. He liked the thought of another elephant being at the zoo, and to make Stella joyful. I think Ivan has become annoyed with Ruby because she talks too much and asks too many questions. Ivan said that he had forged his sleep so Ruby would not talk to him. Compared to a little baby, Ruby is nothing close to that. Usually when a new baby is born and brought home, all the other family members go to see that new baby and overfill that baby with joy and laughter. In this case the animals are so annoyed with her they have to lie. She has affected the whole zoo. It seems like since she has been here the animals are getting worse and the zoo keepers are stressed out. Since Stella has been taken care of Ruby her foot has been getting worse because she had been staying in the same places now even more squished. I know that the zookeepers also like her in a way because she is new and she attracts new people to come spend money and stay at the zoo longer. They also have to spend extra time focusing on Ruby and making sure she’s okay and isn’t getting hurt already going into the mall. Is Ruby in the same cage as Stella? If so, how does Stella feel about that?
