The Flight of the Iguana: The Face of a Spider

Everybody and everything is different and many complex ways, whether it would be by looks, personality, feelings ect. , in simple words, nobody will ever be exactly the same or perfect. Every person is accustomed to and used to different things, whether they learned and were familiarized by their family or their own beliefs and thoughts. There will always be situations throughout life where as people we will be unaccustomed to something, a place or a person’s view and how they may look and seem to us. However, we have to learn not to treat a person differently than the people that we may know. We will have to learn to change our or hard and hating ways to appreciate and see distinctive things and people as exclusive and unique. As the author David Q., explains he didn’t decide to kill and end the life of the spider, instead he decided to let its life go on and see it as something that deserves to live rather than anything less. Even though he, had killed and or squashed several other spiders and bugs before throught his life, he decided to make a change and decided that it was not necessary and let the spider remain in its home, which was David’s office desk. The author made somewhat of a metaphor with the spider and himself and he is trying to make a comparison to demonstrate to people that, even thought things and people may be different, look different and may not have many similarities with each other. People should not judge the things by what is on the outside, but rather with is in the heart and their feelings and after you are able to know them. A person finding themselves in a position with new experiences with life, food, religion, should be able to find themselves giving effort to try to understand something that is different and new, rather than blocking it out.
