"Doe Season"

As a person transitions from childhood to adulthood there are many changes. Andy finds comfort in the woods that are “always the same.” There is no sign of change and she likes it like that. When Andy refers to the ocean, “huge and empty, yet always moving,” she means that a person is always changing or moving and there is nothing in their power they can do to stop it. It is too mighty and great, like an ocean, and will always happen. Although most people don’t like change, changes will occur; it is a fact of life. An ocean will always be moving. The “huge and empty” part may go along with the feelings as you mature. Some people feel unfilled and unknown to what this part of their life will bring as they change. Finding your truth self is an epiphany and Andy finally found her true self at the end of the story, she found Andrea.
