"What I'm saying is that we were all of us struggling to adjust to our new life, and I suppose we all did things back then we later regretted." -pg. 131
This part of the story is easily relatable to teenage and high school life. Things are changing as they move to the Cottages from Hailsham. I could compare it to moving from middle school to high school. People mature, yet are still childish in some ways. Ruth and Kathy are changing as well. Tommy and Ruth are a couple again. However, they are different this time. They both start picking up on the habits the veteran couples have. This is comparable to freshman looking up to seniors. The kids are still naive. Looking back, they regret the dumb arguments and decisions. Anyone can relate to that feeling.
