Q Essay

In this essay, I will simply be talking about certain qualities about Q that were made very clear in both of the stories we read. To me, Q seems like a confused guy who doesn’t really know what he is doing in life, but at the same time he has some good qualities that help him get through his hard times in life. In the following paragraphs I will be using quotes to prove what kind of person Q is.

Q and Lll though that they were meant to be and get married bu as it turns out maybe they were wrong. During the story, Q meets a women named Lll whome he falls in love with and they plan to get married. Later on there was evidence that maybe the engagement is not a good idea ad maybe they are not meant to be together. This quite proves that maybe they are not meant for each other after all. "But every time an opportunity occurred, I postponed it, out of embarrassment..." (p. 75). To m this qoute shows that Lll and Q should have have been so eager to get married because if Q was embarrassed to let Lll meet his family and vice versa, than obviousley they are not comfortable with her and they don't know enough about each other. As it turns out I was right, because in the end Lll ends up leaving Q for his uncle who stole his women. This shows that Q was the type of person who didn't care about details and just wanted to hurry up and get married.

In the aquatic uncle, Q had some bad things done to him. The main thing that was done to him was that his uncle took Lll from Q and ran away with her. In other words, his uncle snatched and ran away. Later in the story Q says “And yet I wouldn’t have traded places with any of them.”  This stood out at me and really shows what kind of person Q is in one major way. The thing I took from this is that even though he had his girl taken from him, and other people had better lives then him, he didn’t want to trade places with any of them. This shows a lot because it shows that he is happy with himself. This is an important quality for anyone to have, and it is good that he had this quality because of all the things he went through.

This time I am going to refer to the Dinosaurs. In this story, he is the only dinosaur left and he is trying to survive. He finds a group of weird animals that take him in and let him be a part of there family, even though at the end he runs away from the family. In the beginning of the story he says “I would never have imagined it possible to talk like that with non-dinosaurs…” This is a problem that many people experience to this day. I have noticed that very often people tend to only group with people of the same race. Some people are afraid to make friends with people of different races (or in this story different species), and because of this they do not meet very many new people. Now a days, this happens less and less but it does still happen. This shows a very big quality about Q. He was not afraid to meet new people. I mean yes at first he was a little scared but he opened up and made friends with “the new ones”. This quality of being open to new people and things is very important for anyone to have especially in Q’s case because he was the only one of his kind left.
