A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf

Something that stayed on my mind was the image of alligators because the author viewed them as not being dangerous and more importantly that they too have a place to live. He mentioned that under God's eyes, those creatures were part of him as well. I thought about it and it seemed to make sense because if they were created in the first place, then that means that they should be treated as fair as humans. However, since human beings tend to control everything, then they decide what is "good or bad". These details lead to the author's point that maybe we're not the ones who control those creatures, maybe is the other way round, because some creatures can be so venomous sometimes, that if human were to be fighting to them, they would win.
