Analysis Of The Book Bobo - 942 Words

2. In the novel, Bobo is a baboon from the zoo that Mr. Pignati befriends. Mr. Pignati loves Bobo and is really the only friend that he has other than John and Lorraine. He always goes to the zoo to feed Bobo. I know it seems weird for a baboon that Lorraine describes as the ugliest, most vicious-looking baboon I ve ever seen in my life to be significant to the story, but Bobo is really important. Bobo is like a son to Mr. Pignati. Every day, he always walks down to the zoo to feed Bobo, but is not a young man anymore. Later towards the end of Chapter 10, going to the zoo was one of the many factors that contributed to Mr. Pignati’s heart attack. As Lorraine says on page 109, â€Å"I had forgotten about Mr. Pignati going way down to the†¦show more content†¦Pignati taking the 11:45 boat to Manhattan. From there, they took the Seventh Avenue Local subway until they arrived at Chamber Street. At Chamber Street, there was a crazy girl that Lorraine thought was a bad omen because the girl kept talking about how death was coming. â€Å"‘Death is coming,’ she kept repeating. ‘God told me death is coming.’† After they passed Chamber Street, John, Lorraine and Mr. Pignati had to switch subways and took the Seventh Avenue Express the rest of the way to Beekman’s. Once at Beekman’s, they first went to the fancy food delicatessen on the 8th floor. At the store, Mr. Pignati bought frogs’ legs, ricotta cheese, 3 jars of bean soup, bamboo shoots, fish killies with their head still on and as Lorraine claims on page 82, â€Å"‘...a lot of other delicious items.’† Mr. Pignati also bought Lorraine Love’n Nuts and Jamboree Juicy Jellies while he bought John a carton of tiger’s milk and chocolate covered ants. Next they stopped at the women’s underwear department on the 5th floor where Mr. Pignati bought Lorraine some nylon stockings. Afterwards, they looked around th e toy department and then the pet department. Finally, the trio stopped at the sports department where Mr. Pignati bought them all a pair of roller skates. To end off the day, John and Lorraine wore their roller skates through the rest of the store. 6.

The research that Bandura and Walters did was so abstract and very interesting that it lead Bandura to write his first book called Adolescent Aggression (1959).
