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.
