(Authors Note: This is a response to the story, "Radio", written by myself. I would like this to be graded on my first goal of text analysis by writing about a symbol in the story.)
In the story, Radio, Feferi Peixes just moved to New Jersey. Though she is starting a new life, her past still follows her. Many symbols follow the story, but one does stand out; her bracelet.
To her, the bracelet ment the world to her, it held the memories of her past friend, Eridan Ampora. She never parted with it, in hopes that Eridan will find her again.
Another reason this symbol is important is because it tells a lot about the character. Just by the two paragraphs, you can tell that Feferi never wants to let go of Eridan; even though just the thought of him makes her depressed. It tells you that she is persistant in her ways and so once she makes her mind, there is no changing it. Nothing would make her happier than to see his face again. This may also put into your mind that she has a hidden love for him, yet she can not realize it.
So though it is a small object, it makes a large impact on Feferi's life. It holds her most joyful and happy memories of her childhood. Yet it also brings her a slight depression. A bracelet that holds so much, and a 18 year old girl who just can't let go. What other important symbols will come into the story? Who really knows?
