		Skellig is not easily defined; Michael is beginning to realize the complexity of the world that he is growing into.
		Skellig, Michael's parents, Dr. Death, the baby, even the people on the bus: "I thought how you could never tell just by looking at them what they were thinking or what was happening in their lives" (13).

		In response, Skellig undergoes a remarkable metamorphosis that profoundly affects the narrator's (and audience members') first impression of the curious creature, and opens the way to an examination of the subtle line between life and death.
		Skellig was a very different character and the reader never really does learn what or who he is. It is like real life in that way, mysteries are not always solved and life is colored in shades of gray.
		Skellig is a mysterious adventure without a definite answer to the wonder at the events that unfold.

		The eight miles of sea may have made the Skelligs a safer place than many - but it meant that they were cut off from the mainland for most of the winter.
		The rocky islands did little to help the monks with their cultivation and, it is believed, they had to resort to importing soil from the mainland in order to grow enough food to survive.
		It is possible to visit Skellig Michael - although access continues to be difficult and subject to winds and tides and the local knowledge of the boatmen.
