In his ninth-grade biology class, Ian had watched through a microscope while an amoeba shaped like a splash approached a dot of food and gradually surrounded it. Then it had moved on, wider now and blunter, distorted to accommodate the dot of food within.
As Ian accommodated, over and over, absorbing the fact of Danny’s death
This is a good example of using scientific terms in a classic
comparision.
A bitter pill to swallow is
digested, by phagocytosis in this case, and you get over it when you excrete it,
for keeping on with the digestive analogy
