"Call and dance, call and dance. Now, while you may."

"Call and dance, Innocence, call and dance while you may. For this is a prelude, it is only a beginning. Strange things will be woven into it, by men you have never heard of, in places you have never seen. It is life you are going into, you are not afraid because you do not know. Call and dance, call and dance. Now, while you may."

This quote, to me, is explaining how we need to enjoy our innocence and youth while we still can. "Call and dance" reminds me of a child whose perfectly content in their own little world dancing and yelling their own song. Innocence only last for a few short years. By the time most children are 8 they've already been introduced to "the really world". Innocence is something that i think we should all hold on to. Its something that can we use to get away from the real world at some points when we really need it. I think the experience of growing up is a controversial one. Some people can't wait till they grow up and can be on their own, experiencing "grown up" things, but others dread the day when they actually have to leave their childhood stage and move on to bigger things.

In the book it says that the country can no longer hold the people. The young men and woman leave. But when they are young and innocent they would never think of leaving. When they call and dance all they care about it having fun, they aren't worried about the future. But as they get older they start to learn things they have never heard of before, and some of it is frightening, and I am sure there is a time when they wish they could go back to calling and dancing.
