In the reading, “The Aquatic Uncle”, I was most interested in this idea of animals having a human quality. It made the reading much more interesting and relatable, every family has a family member like Uncle N’da N’ga. Qfwfq is a creature at a halfway point. I believe an issue Cavino is addressing, is that many of times our own hidden insecurities produce prejudices. Qfwfq was in this middle place where he was okay with being mediocre. However, faced uncertainties with Lll family and preconceived ideas of his uncles lifestyle. He was no longer living the reality his uncle is living and could comprehend why his uncle was still living that way. He was not advanced enough to compete with the more evolved creatures and could not understand why Lll wanted to be more diverse. This lead him to be content in his mediocre life. He lost his significant other, who had been looking for the other half of Qfwfq, which, he no longer identified with. While every character benefitted to the narrative equally giving them a rich value to the story, I was surprised by Uncle and Lll ending up together. It shows that Lll was accommodating to a different lifestyle and Qfwfq let his insecurities get in the way.
