I wonder what Henry thinks. What happens when we get on an elevator? Does he feel the motion moving us between floors? Does he have any sense of altitude? Or is an elevator just a magic box where the door closes and when it opens we’re somewhere else?
Henry stands on the bed on the fourth floor of the hotel and looks down at the people and things moving below. Does he wonder how he got there? He didn’t climb any hills. Does he relate his elevation back to the sensation of the elevator?
Does he understand the physics of car rides? Does he recognize the motion of riding in a car is the same thing he does when he’s running except 10 times faster? Or is the car another kind of magic box where he gets in, a lot of stuff blurs by, and suddenly he’s somewhere else?
