Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
Describe in your own words the Rails request/response cycle for viewing an animals detail page
(I view this as a dialogue. These aren't really my words, but they are far better than my words.)

*Browser: Hey there, router, could you please GET animals/:id ?
*Router: (I am not really sure if the router says anything to the browser. Please advise.)
...Hello, animals controller, could you please show me the page for animal :id, and by that I
clearly mean animals#show
*Controller: Sure thing (I don't think the controller actually says this.) .
...Subordinate model, retrieve animal id from the database (you know, Animal.find(params[:id])
*Model: here is the information for animal id
*Controller: stores information in instance variable
...Hi, view animals/:id , I have information for animal :id, but I don't know how to display it. What
should I do?
*View: OK, controller, here is how you should display this information speaks a bunch of html
*Controller: (To self) That view talks like a cave man. I will add some introductory paragraphs so ...that the browser can understand these directions.
*Controller: Hello browser, remember that one time when you asked me to #GET animal/:id? I got the information from Controller and the display template from view. I also made it extra easy to ...understand for you.
...Now all you have to do is POST animals/:id
*Browser: Done! It looks like there is nothing else to do.

Then the Browser, the Controller, the View, and the Model all high five. (This doesn't really happen, but it makes for a more satisfying script.)

| Describe one area of Rails that you gained more clarity on with this assignment |
Which HTTP: verbs are being used (since I had a bazillion errors with POST requests) |

| Is there a specific piece of code you'd like more feedback on? |
No. But I would like to know if I got the first question here right. |

| What is one aspect of this project that surprised you?|
Getting an image from the Internet is harder than I thought it would be . Google api is really, really hard to figure out because so much of it is deprecated. |

I am very sorry if the images for my page are wrong or inappropriate. I used loremflickr which gets the right animal about 50% of the time, and posts something you'd rather not see about 10% of the time. I would recommend not going to the page for Bonobo.

Also, it was really, really fun to write the dialogue for the post animal id loop. I think it would be a great seat squad activity for next time.
