A Tiger in the Zoo Long Answer Question<\/strong><\/p>\nQuestion 1. \nIt is a paper tiger that we come across in the poem, \u2018A Tiger in the Zoo.\u2019 Justify with examples from the text. \nAnswer: \nThough the tiger is portrayed as stalking about, it is only within the confines of a cage, where his stalking is mingled with quiet rage. Instead of lurking in the shadows of the jungle, in pursuit of some plump deer, the paper tiger is a confined animal. Instead of spreading terror among the villagers living in homes adjoining the jungle, the tiger of the poem is locked in a concrete cell where he ignores visitors. Instead of hearing the call of the jungle animals he hears the sounds of the patrolling cars. His brilliant eyes focus on stars visible through his cage instead of staring at a potential prey in the forest<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
