What people would go to an alien zoo? Now what aliens would go to a people zoo? Weird I know, but there seemed to be a lot of attention between the both so a man named Professor Hugo who made this Interplanetary Zoo in the book, Zoo by Edward Hoch, an optical illusion. From one race's point of view they're at some sort of an alien cruise through the universe seeing all the other creatures of space but to others they're just trapped in a cage. It seems like there is a mirror effect in the book.
The mirror effect in this case is an illusion. From inside the ship there were fleshy humans there and they were walking outside the spaceship and from the outside there was animal like aliens that were in a cage. If the people and space inhabitants have known the truth about the sneak they would feel foolish not to know this. That happens to me a lot when I didn't recognize something so obvious. I get mad at myself and feel like a idiot, like when I looking for food in the fridge and I ask my mom where the Ketchup is, but it's right in front of my face. There is a question that can't get out of my head and it's if Professor Hugo is a con?
There is a possibility that he could be a sham but there is a certain way he talks and how his personality stands out. He also has a love for what he does because he wanted to know if the extraterrestrials liked it so he went to the house of one the passengers and overheard them say how good it was and with a great price. In his perspective he thinks it's like the saying "Two birds with one stone.". Professor Hugo has a good heart in my book. Also if he was a con he would've abducted and sold the aliens and humans on different planets he and would be rich.
The story would've been better if he was a cheat because it would be more suspenseful. Other than that last comment the story was really good. It had me think of other things like a double win situation. One is that you're going up for a layup and you make it and you got fouled. Then you go to the free-throw line and make it. Whenever I do that in a game I feel great and I bet that what Professor Hugo feels when he hears how great his Interplanetary Zoo is.
