Doe Season

Who is this young girl named Andy? Andy has several characteristics that help her transitions into adulthood. Andy is a unique girl. She is a very mature nine-year-old. I believe her maturity is a product of her father spending time with her. The story explains how they spend time together shooting. This is how she became a good shot and her dad believes in her. “Do you want to shoot it, punkin?” (464) Andy’s father asks, displaying every bit of confidence in his young daughter. Andy is tough. Not once does she complain, instead she tries to impress her dad through her actions and words. Her ability to stick with it shows that Andy is able to pull through adversity, especially when most nine year old girls would not be able to. She is now ready to face this fear of the grand unknown ocean as it calls to her “Come in, Come in” (467).
