In chapter 14, when the bush boy died, Mary finally saw him for what he was. "Before, she had seen only as through a glass darkly, but now she saw face to face. And in that moment of truth all her fears and inhibitions were sponged away, and she saw that the world which she had thought was split in two was one." (pg. 123). This symbolizes how even though they did not speak the same language, they were able to still communicate and understand each other. He made them able to live off the land and adapt to the new and unfamiliar environment.
