Michael Standard: Post Two

"Let's imagine for a moment that we are tiny enough to follow a bee into a hive. Usually the first thing we would have to get used to is the darkness..." - Exploring the World of Social Insects
This quote is from Chapter 5, and it illustrates the fact that, in order to feel comfortable in a new setting, you must start with the most general change. The quote is explaining that the most drastic change in entering a beehive would be the darkness, which relates to the story in that when Lilly runs away, her experiences completely change, and she must first understand them before exploring the detail of her circumstances.

I think you make a great point here but you didn't explore it beyond the surface.
