Finding Comfort from the Beast Chp 10 JF

I thought it was interesting that Meg found comfort in the creatures at the end of this chapter. Although Meg did not know anything about the creatures, she felt warmth when it touched her. Throughout the book, Meg is always concerned with  what people think about the way she looks. In this chapter she is thinking "I must look as strange to it as it looks to me...and then realized with a shock that of course the beast couldn't see her at all." I think that Meg found comfort in the beast physically, but also emotionally. In the following chapter the beasts talk about how they know someone ONLY by who they are, not at all by how they look. When I thought about this more, I really could not imagine a world that judged only by the way someone acted. What do you guys think about this???

Yeah, I get what you mean. As humans we usually tend to judge someone by how they look before even speaking to them. This is a common mistake that everyone generally makes. A planet where no one ever does that, and they just judge people by what they act like is a great planet. One that is VERY high tech unlike our own Earth.
