Gibble the Epic (Pig by Roald Dahl)

                             I just finished reading a short story from The Collected SHORT STORIES of ROALD DAHL called "Pig." By Roald Dahl, of course. This short story is about a boy who's mother and father were shot by accident the first day he was born. No one in his family wanted to take care of the boy, Lexington, except for Aunt Glosspan. She was a vegetarian who cooked her own foods and lived in the mountains, and Lexington never came down from the mountain until he was 17 when Aunt Glosspan died. In that time Lexington had become a master vegetarian chef who was writing a chef book and his grandmother had left him a lot of money to deal with. In New York City Lexington went to a restaurant that served him meat. Unaware, Lexington ate it and loved it, finding out it was meat he thought his aunt just never got to try how good it was and needed it for his cookbook so he went to a meat packing place. He saw the way the factory killed pigs, but someone slipped a chain on his leg so he got dragged up and killed like all the other pigs. (Yes, that's actually how it ends)
                             This book connects to the real world because it shows how unaware people can be to animal cruelty sometimes. Personally, I don't like this story because of how it ends, but it has good values. Almost everyone in the world is like Lexington. Living on that mountain oblivious to the fact that animal cruelty is real and harsh. I won't go into the detail, but the end of the story describes exactly how they kill animals. People don't know, and even some vegetarians don't even know why they're vegetarians like Lexington. I recommend this to  people who aren't afraid of gore, and can handle kind of confusing stories. And are lovers of Roald Dahl.
