Many reviewers say this book has deep meanings, but not one person has indicated what those deep meanings are. What do you think the author was trying to tell the reader?

Is something important because of the qualities it contains, or does something become important by the meaning we put on it. But thats just one of many things contained in the story. Another is learning. Do we learn by experience, or does the experience simply bring out what we knew all along? Its not a story meant to provide answers. its a story meant to pose questions that lead to more questions. The author isn't trying to tell the reader anything. The author is trying to get the reader to start asking questions. (less)
