Hannah: Hannah is the main character in the book and she stuggles with Bulimia. I think that a good item to represent her is a crumbling rock. I think that this is a good connection becasue Hannah has the possibility to be strong and stay together, but she slowly falling apart over time. This is just like the rock because the rock is slowly chipping away.
Brooke: Brooke is Hannah's friend. She is the most popular girl in school and she is a bully to Hannah about her weight. I think a good item to realte her to is makeup. I think this because makeup can "cover up" what she wants to hide. Brooke has family issues and she uses the popualrity at school to cover it up. like makeup can cover someones true face. Hannah's Father: Hannah's father stuggled with alcohol after his wife died of cancer. I believe that a good symbol for him would be a key. I think a lock is representative of her father because the lock is very closed off and in its own world. Hannahs father is closed off and secretive about what he does and says.
These are just three characters in my novel. What symbol can you think of for yourself?
You did a great job of identifying tangible symbols for each character in the book. I really liked how you used a description for each character and how their symbol relates to them!
ReplyDeletei think a hair tie would symbolize me because i have to hold so many things together that sometimes i break, just like hairbands can be stretched so far that they break.
ReplyDeleteI really like this blog. The connections are perfect, you clearly took alot of time coming up with something that represented each of the characters this well. Nice blog!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your descriptions, escpecially on Hannah. I thought that was a very creative way of comparing her to a rock and I have never thought to myself to comparing someone to that specific item.
ReplyDeletewhat is bulimia, what does it do to you?
ReplyDeleteA good symbol for the character, Ever, in the novel Skinny by Donna Cooper, are the thespian masks used to represent theatre, because of her love of theatre and how she masks all of her problems.
ReplyDeleteI like how you explained each character and went into detail explaining how something symbolizes each of them. Great job on finding symbols for them! Sounds like a good book!
ReplyDeleteI think a symbol that would represent myself is candy. Candy is sweet and always makes people happy. This is like me becuase I'm sweet and try to make people happy.
ReplyDeleteGreat work on your blog! You put in great description and detail into your posts. It is good to explain each character to really understand the book and maybe have other people enjoy it as well. A symbol that represents myself would be an anchor because I keep things stable and I keep things in place.
ReplyDeleteI really like this post, I got to know the charactors personalities well because of the symbols you put with them. Great job!
