Abstract

Douglas is different from the other ants in his colony. He has a name, he is bigger, and he is a different shape. This is because he has a different job to do. He is a soldier and not a part of the beautiful line of food gatherers that he would prefer to join. He is proud to protect the smaller ants. Then, a bomb and bigger soldiers hit the nest. Perhaps it doesn't matter what your job is when annihilation strikes.
