IS THERE A GOD

The short story written by David Michael Kaplan, "Doe Season" is what I have chosen to analyze. "Doe Season" is about a young, innocent girl, named "Andy" who goes hunting with her father, his friend "Charlie Spreun" and his 11 year-old son "Mac." At the beginning of the story she is praying that they will get a deer. Throughout the story, the narrator tells of Andy's past experienes, like when she saw the ocean for the first time and was frightened. The narrator also mentions actual experiences she has within the hunting trip, like when Mac asks her if she has ever seen "it" (a penis). She is also disgusted when the young boy tells her that they sometimes cut the the deer's "it" off when a process called "hogdressing" is being done (not realizing how cruel hunting can be).

Everything lay hidden" (345-346). As well as the last context stating, "...all around her roared the mocking of the terrible, now inevitable, sea" (354). Her mother's accidental exposal of her breasts is a symbol of Andy's seeing that she will, one day, be like that. Her mother is the only way of seeing what womanhood is like.

It is clearly shown throughout each and every one of the elements that in order to fully become an adult, a child must come to terms that living comes along with the difficult reality of dieing. In the sense that the child's loss of innocence cannot be avoided, just as the doe's loss of life cannot be. This is just a part of life, a part of growing, a part of becoming an adult. Everyone goes through it. Everyone has their ow
