Connor Dunford is a rising junior at the Toronto DSB Virtual Secondary School in Toronto , Canada . Connor loves learning about languages and history , and learning Latin has been a fascinating mix of both . About the piece : This story is about Hannibal ' s crossing of the Alps , from the perspective of one of the elephants . It has fairy tale-like elements , but it also includes many historical facts . My goal with this story was for it to be humorous and novel through its use of the perspective of an elephant in Hannibal ' s army , while at the same time being informative for the reader .
