In the book, The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate, Ivan is somewhat of a poet, "it has a waterfall without water, flowers without scent and trees without roots," (Applegate p.5-6). Ivan reminds me of a person who is on the spectrum because he knows so much and even wants to read to pass the time, but it is like he is trapped in a cage, stuck in their own minds. He has a hard time expressing his feelings. It seems that they are just stuck in their domains and don't come out. They only see the mall. "My domain is made of thick glass and rusty metal and rough cement," (Applegate p.6). On the sign it makes Ivan look angry but he says he is never angry. People are putting words into his mouth. It is false advertising.
