'with next to no experience in life she is somehow endowed with a deeper understanding of life than Joel"
she has lived her entire live after the plague, he didnt, he lived a normal life then he lived through the plague. ellie grew up in the plague, it formed it, it didnt form joel. of course they will have very different views of life, and of course ellie would understand it better. since, its all her life, joel, for as many experiences that he goes through, will never fully understand it, because he knew how life was, to her, the plague is life
