Gorillas In The Mist

            I thought the movie "Gorillas In The Mist" was an excellent movie. Diane Fossy was an excellent person as you could see in this film. She cared for those gorillas like they were her own. It was so interesting to see someone give up everything for a gorilla. Never the less knowing what she lost taking this chance to go to Africa, I never knew what poaching meant or even heard of the word until I saw this movie. .
             I don't know if I would have the courage Diane had in doing this expedition. I would love to go to Africa and study the Mountain Gorillas, but not exactly how she went about it. When the movie first started off I thought it was going to be boring and stupid. Then Diane started coming in contact with the gorillas I thought it was amazing. .
             Let's talk about the poaching because I have a lot to say about it. What those people did to the gorillas was so terrible I wanted to get in the TV and hurt them myself. The poachers killed so many gorillas and for what? Just to send the baby gorillas to the zoo and make some money. How would the poachers like it if someone poached them and took there babies and sold them for money? I don't think they would be very happy it. Towards the end of the movie when the poachers did there last poaching scene, I thought it was the worst part. I can't believe they took the gorillas head (I don't think I cried so much during a movie than this part).
