Of Mice and Men: Symbolism
I brought in my pointe shoes to symbolise me. My pointe shoes don't only symbolise the fact that I love dance. They symbolise my dreams and passions. They symbolise all of my hard work, and determination. They symbolise how I can change character and have the capability to be anyone I want. The fact that they are worn out show that there were struggles along the way, but I got through them. They're somewhat like the dream farm in Of Mice and Men. All in all they symbolise passion, determination, and dreams.
Nice job. I think this is a cool object to choose, especially since it is very original. I like how you went back to Of Mice and Men and showed how it connects to that too. Nice Blog.
ReplyDeleteI think that you did a good job using this example of how they are worn out so they showed the struggles along the way. I also liked how you tied it into Of Mice and Men. Good job!
ReplyDeleteGreat Job!! I really liked your object that you picked. I also thought you were very precise and made it clear to the point of why it symbolizes passion determination, and dreams. I thought it was creative that you compared this object to the dream from Of Mice And Men. You did a really good job!
ReplyDeleteI liked the repetition you used to make your interpretation explicit and left none of it to the reader's own judgement. As other comments have mentioned, I thought it was cool that you related it back to Of Mice And Men. Overall, good blog and symbol for you.
ReplyDeleteGreat Job! I liked how you tied it back to the Of Mice And Men book. I also liked it when you said, "They symbolise how I can change character and have the capability to be anyone I want.", because I think that explains the passion behind the symbol really good.
ReplyDeleteI like how you made the blog very explicit with your reasoning. I also think you did a great job on explaining why these represent you. I think they do represent you not only because of your love for dance, but because it shows your compassion, your passion, and your struggles. It shows what makes you, well you. What type of dance do you take?
