what I mean by that is that if he wasn't a gorilla and he was a human he wouldn't be in a cage and he would be free.

I agree with the fact that Ivan dislikes being behind the glass, but could you add more details.

I think that "I live here because I am to much gorilla and not enough human" means that if he was more human than they would not take him to a cage. If he wasnt human and more gorila (like he is now) they would want to observe him (like they do now).

because Ivan is more gorilla than human(or just he's not human) people want to observe him if he was more human and less gorilla they wouldn't put him in a cage and observe him.

Ivan is more gorilla than human so people want to observe him so, they put him in a cage if he was more human than gorilla they wouldn't bother to observe him because he's to normal

I think it means that Ivan wants to be more human or a human compared to being a gorilla. He wants to be free out of the glass walls and sent back to him habitat.

If he was human, why would he want to be in the jungles? Do we know he's in a glass wall or is it just an educated guess?

In the book, it said that the cage had one wall with a jungle scene painted on it, and the other three walls were made of glass.

what did you mean about that

I think what Ivan means to say when he says "I live here because I am too much gorilla and not enough human" He is big, scary, and might make grunting noises when he is out of the cage.Ivan might frighten the humans doing those things even when he is happy or peaceful.So he is not enough human to be human.

I think that when Ivan says that "I live here because I am too much gorilla and not enough human", he is basically saying that he knows that he is different from humans because he is part of a different species.

I think that this means that he is not enough human to have that sense of "this is my home now", he just wants to get out of the cage and run wild in a jungle with all of his gorilla pals.

I think he means that humans are afraid of him or think think and/or treat him like he's a dangerous or interesting creature that can't think for itself.

I think it means that because he is a Gorilla and not a human he has to stay in a cage and that he wishes to be free to go where he wants to like humans can.

I think Ivan wishes he was human so he wouldn't be in a cage, and he would be free to do what he pleases when he pleases. he thinks he would have more freedom as a human.

I think Ivan means that if he were human he would be somewhere else other than the circus. But... He's a gorilla and gorillas can't go roaming on the streets so they keep hm locked in the circus.

I'm not to sure what you mean by that " I think it means that he is to much of an animal to be out of a cage (people would be afraid and not go to the mall)" Why wouldn't they want to go to the mall? Why would they be afraid? Can you post details about what you mean? I think that he want's to return to the wild and be with others gorillas. He could have a better life with other animals and not be in a glass cage. I know i would if I was a gorilla locked up in a cage.
