Doe Season

In “Doe Season” Andy talks about the woods and how they never change she takes comfort in this as she takes comfort in the consistency of her own life. She likes the feeling that everything will always be as it was but she finds out that life is not always as it seems. Like when she talked about the ocean “huge and empty, yet always moving. Everything lay hidden. If you walked in it you couldn’t see how deep it was or what might be below” (p.459.) This is how life can be as you get older and have to leave your comfort zone. You can never tell what life will bring you “If you walked in it you couldn’t see how deep it was or what might be below” (p.459). Also life is always changing as you grow and develop and it’s a big scary world out there. The woods is her as a child in the protection of her parents and the ocean is her as she grows and changes from a child to an adult.
