Q's essay

Q’s character is that he follows the crowd, he does not think on his own instead he believes as the world change so, should he and learn from the people in his life to benefit him.

Q learns from his Uncle to take his revenge on other people and turns into someone like his Uncle. When he was a land creature and madly in love with his fiance Lll but Lll in the end fell in love with Uncle who is a water creature. Lll left Q for Uncle and joined him to live in the water. Q has learn from his Uncle because in the future, him as a dinosaur took Zahn’s(a creature called the New One) girl, “I grasped the Half-bleed by one paw, carrying her off under Zahn’s nose. First he watched us move away without understand, he was lost in his amorous contemplation, then he was siezed with jealous rage,” (110). This shows that Q knowledge from how his Uncle took his girl, Q does the same to Zahn. Q knew that he was taking Zahn’s girl but he did not care because he wanted to make Zahn and Fern-flower jealous. Just like what Uncle has done to Q by taking Lll away from him and making Q jealous because he wished that was him living the rest of his life with Lll but he can not. Q has learn from his Uncle to take what he wants to prove a point.

In addition, Q believes that Uncle should stop living in the water because no one lives in the water anymore. Uncle would not leave but Q always pressure Uncle to leave the water like Q and his family did. Q who was a water creature but evolve to a land creature because he thinks that he the new way to go in life. Q’s decision to live as a land creature is not based on what he believes but what others around him think that is right. Q is unable to make his own decision in his life instead is follows what is in the world and do what everyone is doing. He is not stable to take care of his own and realizes that if he follows what everyone is doing then he might fit in with the crowd. So, unlike his Uncle who is on his own and does what he wants, Q does by watching others do something and take their lead.

Finally as Q evolve in live, he is still following others and trying to keep up with what is new.  For example, Q is now a dinosaur but he is the last kind and is alone but there are a new born and he tries to fit in with them, “They gave me a nickname: “the Ugly one” because I was different from them, for no reason,”(pg.99) This explains that he is know changing his life style to fit in with the New Ones so he can fit in with the creatures and have someone he is able to communicate so, he would not be alone anymore. Q goes through a lot in his life to follow everyone so he does not feel lonely. Even though Q does not truly fit in with the New Ones he is still able to follow what they are doing so he has a home and have the same life style as them. Q has change his whole life just to fit in with the new creatures that evolve over time so, he would not have to face the world on his own.
