On "Pets" and "Its"
Animal Person
MARCH 18, 2010
Here are some observations: When reading a book about gorillas to/with a seven-year old, I was struck by the mixed messages the book sent. Here 's the book, and in the preview you can see that in the beginning when the gorilla being described is male he is referred to as "he." So far so good. I'm a terrible fiction writer.
