Part 5: Opening Day

Summary:

The final section of We Bought A Zoo includes the finishing touches on the park and the big opening day. One thing that was much needed was operations on the animals to prevent them from breeding; they did not have a license to breed animals at the zoo yet. This was a very dangerous procedure, but this task was dealt with very carefully and all went well. Several animals got other operations done, such as root canals and nail trimmings. Another task that had to be finished was the kitchen.  It took a few days but by the time the workers were completely done, the restaurant look amazing. The last thing needed for the park to open was the inspection to hopeful get a license to open the the public. This stressful day came quickly. The process was long and nerve racking. Everyone was on there best behavior and hoping for the best. The Dartmoor Zoological Park passed and was ready for opening day! This came faster than most expected, but the day went smoothly and all staff was showered with complements on the transformation of the zoo. The first couple days were a success, but the rainy weather stopped the customers from pouring in. The park was empty for awhile, but when a T.V. show came out on the zoo, the customers started flowing once again and the Dartmoor Zoo was a success.

Review:
I thought that this last section was amazing! It really showed the characters drive, inspiration, and passion for the zoo and the animals. This was truly a life changing story and I recommend anyone read it. The last part make the reader feel so happy and excited for the Mee family. They deserve their success after all the hard work they have put into the zoo and I am really proud of all of their accomplishments. It really shows that you can make something great out of something that started as nothing. After reading this book, I would love to make a trip the the Dartmoor Zoological Park and visit  such an amazing park.

Focus: Think about the opening of the zoo and relate it to a time of accomplishment in your life
 One of the days that my team attended cheer camp, my stunt group was trying to master a really difficult stunt. It had been shone to us the day before and we had been working really hard to get it. We were constantly changing things that would make it work. We got advice from our coaches and other cheerleaders who could already do it. We always practice when we could and we were all determined to make this stunt hit. We all motivated and pushed each other.  It was a lot easier to practice knowing you had your whole stunt group on your side, helping you get through the struggle. We were all working together to achieve the same goal and that united us even more. Eventually the stunt hit and we were so excited that we were able to complete the stunt strong and steady. Mostly importantly, we got to do it together and share our success with the rest of the team in our future cheer routines.
