Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
Describe in your own words the Rails request/response cycle for viewing an animals detail page	First, the browser makes a HTTP GET request for the URL named, which is animals/:id. The router maps the URL to the correct controller and action to handle the request, which is Animal and show. The action receives the request, and asks the model to retrieve data from the database (table of animals). The model returns a list of data to the controller action (the specific animal user requested). The controller action passes the data on to the view. The view renders the page as HTML. The controller sends the HTML back to the browser. The page loads and the user sees it.
Describe one area of Rails that you gained more clarity on with this assignment	I think I need more practice doing this over and over again. I still have some trouble with the named paths. Also, the fact that the order of the routes matters (must go from specific to general).
Is there a specific piece of code you'd like more feedback on?	Not sure.
What is one aspect of this project that surprised you?	It was kind of fun! I even tried to practice some more CSS.
