Q's Experiance To A New World

       The Dinosaur(that is his mane), just had his first interaction with the New Ones. He seems to feel relived that he is accepted after long years of being tracked down, but finds himself feeling lost from his past.

‘’They gave me a nick name: ‘’The Ugly One’’, because I was different from them, for no other reason. These New Ones, I don’t know how in the world you call them, Pantotheres or whatever, were still a rather formless species; in fact, all the other species descended from it later; and already in those days there was the greatest variety of similarity and dissimilarities from one individual different type, I was finally convinced I didn’t stand out too much.’’ pp(99-100)

The way Dinosaur reacted to the salutations of the New One’s was is sometimes the same way that people react to differences. People can be rude, or friendly when one interacts or comes in contact with new things. An example can be when we meet new people. I f we feel insecure (which is most of the time) we change our personalities and our beliefs.

    We feel that people won’t accept us, and we will be alone. Dinosaur was nervous when he met Fern Flower. People can react in a different way to something they meet. When II meet new people I  might like the company or dread the time I have to spend with that person(s).We also judge people  before we even get to meet them. That can make conflicts between the differences people can share, and neglect those differences. Dinosaur was very different from the New Ones; from his physical features, to.his characteristics. He soon found out that if he wanted others to like him and fit in, he would have to change. Change can be a good thing at times, but make others fake. You can share differences and be able to use them, but not make them change you completely. These are problems many people face with changes to meeting new people and their differences.     What we can learn from the experiences from Dinosaur  can help us with our future experiences. This experience for Dinosaur show a lot of our world today. Are people accepting each other? Or Are we changing people? What we can do is learn to accept new people. Q dealed with his situation by becoming one of the New Ones. Maybe in his own opinion, his choice was the correct thing to do. My advice to people would be to be able to accept differences. Invite someone new to eat at your table, or talk to someone you haven’t talked to. This will be able to create a better relationship between people.
