In ordinary life, animals aren't given human like characteristics. In Planet of the Apes, by William T. Quick, the apes are personified as humans in many ways. First, the apes are able to walk on two legs. Another way they are humanized is because the apes have a well-rounded army. Lastly, the apes have feelings and sympathy. These are some of the many ways that the apes are characterized as humans.
One way the apes are human like is that they walk on two feet. When Davidson (the protagonist) crashes on a mysterious planet, he finds himself in the midst of a stampede of what appears to be humans, who are being pursued by what appear to be apes, who are running on two feet. After this he is then caught and then put into jail or some sort of slave type establishment. In this jail, apes, outside the jail bars, surround him. They all are walking on two feet.
Another way is that apes have an army. The army is lead by General Thade, and his second hand man, Attar. They do not salute in this army; they hit each other's chests. They have specific commands as like any other army in the world. Some commands listed in the novel were, "Send the 1st line", "March", and finally "About face". .
The last way I said they were human like was that all of the apes had feelings, and some of the apes felt sympathy. Krull, the ape who was in cahoots with Davidson, must of felt sorry for him and his kind, because he was helping him rebel against the all of the other sadistically minded apes. Both Krull and Ari, an ape that was attracted to Davidson since they met, felt sympathy towards the human race on this strange planet. .
