The Loss of a Creature

According to Percy we let society get in the way with our experiences to new places. He thinks that you can't truly experience something through tour guides or walked paths. If you want to truly experience it you have to go off the beaten path and become a pioneer. If you take a tour guide you are going to presume that it is going to look and feel like the post card, but that  may not be the case and can dissatisfy many. When going on a trip Percy suggests doing everything that society doesn't want you to see and than perhaps you will discover something great.
