Blog 4: The Red Convertible

The setting of this story is Chippewa. Lyman's opinion on the army and his brother's involvement was that he didn't worry about the draft too much. He normally had good luck with that sort of thing, unlike his brother. He joked that the only reason the army wanted his brother was for his Indian nose. Him and his brother's relationship seemed to remain around the car and that's all they ever really talked about. When Lyman wrote him letters it would always be about the car. Symbolism is using a symbol to represent or identify. The red convertible symbolizes the relationship between the two brothers Lyman and Henry Junior. The war was going on in the 1980's. Henry Junior was drafted into the war.

Blog 3: A White Heron

Sylvia felt a connection with the white heron. She wanted what the white heron had. The bird had freedom and independence and that's what she wanted. Also the white heron is by itself and lonely and so is Sylvia. She is very shy and her best friend is her cow and Mrs. Tilly is the only other person she talks to. Also she felt like she had a crush on the hunter because he is the only man she ever had contact with. The symbolic situation that it represents is freedom and independence. Sylvia and the cow have a great relationship. They are friends and are always together. They both do the same thing everyday. 

Blog 2: The Body Of Christopher Creed Ending

I really enjoyed reading the Body of Christopher Creed. I thought it was a great book. I liked how we never found out what really happened to Chris. This novel kept me in suspense. My theory about the responses to Torey's webpage is that Chris Creed follows that website. I think he either wrote one of the responses or he just goes on the website and looks at it everyday. I believe Chris is still alive out there but he is a whole new person, just like he wanted to be.
