He knew the nature of the human body: that it was 97 percent water. That its veins contained salt water, just like the tidal tributaries. That once a month, well before pregnancy, the cycle of your body echoed the movement of the Moon in the tides of the oceans
In "Last Kiss" by Luanne Rice, the author explores the profound connection between the human body and nature. The protagonist understands that the human physique is largely composed of water, drawing an analogy to the saltwater present in oceans and rivers. This realization highlights the intrinsic ties humans have with the natural world around them.
The narrative further illustrates the cyclical nature of human existence by comparing the rhythm of the female body to lunar phases. Just as the Moon influences ocean tides, it also connects with the biological cycles of women, emphasizing the continuity between human life and the cosmic rhythms of nature.
