Prior to this, I just assumed ants were dumb little insects that didn’t do anything for any reason in particular. It goes along with the whole idea of Johnson’s essay that there is an order to how humans as well as ants do thing. It was amazing how the ants organized their living area: “…they’ve bulit the cemetery at exactly the point that’s furthest away from the colony.” (310) This to me was insane. I think Johnson used ants as an example because they are something we don’t really know much about, or why they do things. Using the ant colony as an example was amazing, and provided a comparison to our society. The title was a good one and described the purpose of the essay well, which I thought was to show how communities form and interact. I’d have to say that Johnson provided a different way to look at things than I’d ever looked at them. This was a very interesting and strange essay.
