Doe Season (question 3)

Andy finds comfort in the woods always staying the same. It is growing up and maturing much like she is. The way the woods always seem the same and that comforts Andy in her quest to achieve adulthood. Because the woods are slow changing it is less intimidating to her, it feels safe, especially in comparison to the ocean. "It was huge and empty, yet always moving. Everything lay hidden" (Kaplan, 459). Growing up is unexpected and uncertain just like the ocean. It is a different world and it is full of surprise.
