Anyone else get the idea that Aesop is writing about himself? He's doing all the art he loves whether it be poetry, producing, or painting/drawing or whatever. He's being criticized by the mainstream critics and the people that don't understand him but he's happy what he's doing--observing the world. Seems like a modest way of saying because he pursues HIS dream rather than the "warpy american nonsense penned by the rich" (from Coffee).
Also, about whether Lucy is happy or not. Why has she suddenly changed? never talking until now, seems like she has to justify why she did all this, I can't really explain it. Almost seems like she is trying to convince herself that she is happy. Anyone got ideas?
yea this is exactly what i was thinking. i think aesop told the story because it directly relates his own life but at the same time lucy eventually dies so maybe aesop is hoping to be at that point when gets older.

Also it seems like Lucy is actually happy but also convincing herself that she is happy but the fact that she has to convince herself that shes happy doing what she wants to do says something about the way our current society is. society today makes you feel like your doing the wrong thing if you dont follow the norm.
