Prompt: Write a description of a place where animals are kept in captivity, such as a zoo, wildlife park or sea-life centre.

Essay:

Amidst the clamor of urban monotony, the city zoo blossoms like an oasis. The emerald archway that heralds the entrance is an invitation to step into a realm unknown. A plethora of animal lives here, each with stories etched in their souls, waiting to be deciphered by the keen observer.

Beyond the ticket counter, the butterfly garden is aflutter. The air is imbued with a delicate symphony of wings, as the butterflies pirouette and waltz in an age-old dance. Like winged masterpieces, they caress the blossoms and reinvigorate life itself. Their fragility juxtaposed against the resolute spirit of nature is poignant.
