i think that the symbolism is that she if able to fly and she turns into a bird and could only screech as a bird so i think that it is showing transformation of human to bird or human to another animal

# data[].attributes.body
I think when journey was flying around town to town symbolism the fact that he wants to explore and maybe find his mother

# data[].attributes.body
I think the dream symbolizes the experiences Journey had in the book. At the beginning of the book, he feels pleasant and the story takes place at the time when his mother has left. As the dream progressed, it started getting worse, to the point where people weren't really listening to him. This probably symbolizes how he was in a sort of downward spiral up until Chapter 9.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the dream symbolizes Journey wanting to be free.
I think she wants to fly away from her worries.

# data[].attributes.body
In the dream Journey is a bird and he is flying away. I think it means that he is going to Liddie.

# data[].attributes.body
The dream symbolizes that Journey is free, and can go wherever he wants. Maybe even to his mother.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Bloom symbolizes the mother that will stay with Journey forever and never leave him, because a soon as Journey's mom called the first thing he said
was 'there's a cat and shes a great mother that will stay forever'.

# data[].attributes.body
In the dream he becomes a bird and not earthbound like Mama is so maybe this dream is about him trying to find mama?

# data[].attributes.body
To Journey, Bloom is kind of like his mother except that she won't leave him and Journey is amazed at how good she is at being a mother from the first day. As soon as Journey's mom calls, Journey has a hint of anger in his voice I think also.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the dream from the beginning of Chapter 9 symbolizes that Journey feels a little lost because in the dream, when he calls down, no one looks up or responds. I think it also symbolizes that Journey has a connection to Grandfather, since he's in his dream and taking a photo of him.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the dream symbolizes how he is trying to find Liddie and how he will go above and beyond to find her

# data[].attributes.body
I think that bloom represents his mother, and since bloom never leaves Journey, I think that bloom represents that Journey's mother never left him, just she always lives in Journey's heart, and this is why bloom is so important

# data[].attributes.body
Bloom symbolizes a mother that Journey never had, since she never left her kittens even when she had the chance to

# data[].attributes.body
Bloom symbolizes, someone who will never leave him. To him she looks like a good mother that wouldn't leave her children, like his mother did.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that bloom represents the type of mother Mama was orginally

# data[].attributes.body
I think that bloom represent a mother figure that wont leave journey and will always be by his side

# data[].attributes.body
I think the dream symbolizes the timeline of the story because at the start of the story Journey was always noticed and was the center of attention, but now that we have read these chapters it kind of feels that a lot of people don't care

# data[].attributes.body
i think that bloom represented a mother that journey never had and that made journey realize that bloom was a good mother that will never abandon her children

Francisco Olguin

i think when journey was flying around town maybe showed him that he wants to find his mother

# data[].attributes.body
If Journey is like Grandfather, then that means that Journey really does admire grandfather. even though he never directly admits it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the torn-up photos represent how Journey didn't really show many negative feelings towards Liddie, but soon realizes that she never really cared about the photos or memories in the first place. That was why she probably tore them up. I think that when Journey gave the box to Bloom, it was symbolic for the fact that Journey is starting to let go of all of his sadness, and that he is giving up. It also said in the text that he knew Mama wasn't coming back.

# data[].attributes.body
The torn up photos is how much determination Journey puts into trying to find out his past and his mother. Journey gave the box to Bloom, because Journey feels like bloom should have it for finding it, and kind of a guardian.

# data[].attributes.body
Coppers  family represents how thing aren't always what they seem. When coppers mom tells them what is really happening in one of the family photos in the Coppers house. Like how Journeys mom wasn't like she seemed.

# data[].attributes.body
i think the torn up photos show how bad of a mother his mom was and gave the box to bloom so she dosen't become a bad mother

# data[].attributes.body
I think the torn-up photos are showing the negative energy he has bottled up and by "giving the box to Bloom" he is letting go of the negative energy.

# data[].attributes.body
when cooper ripped up the photo

# data[].attributes.body
The photos represent that mama never really cared about the photos and the memories that they had made together.

# data[].attributes.body
The box of photos is important to Journey because it contains all of the ripped up pictures that Liddie ripped up. Journey gave that box to Bloom, even though it could be ruined. I think that means that Journey REALLY cares about Bloom, or he wouldn't have done that.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Journey gives the photos to Bloom because I think she finally realizes that there is no way she can fix those photos.

# data[].attributes.body
At he beginning of he book Journey always despised grandfather and was against his mood and taking pictures but now he has started taking pictures and really enjoys them and he has started a very close bond with grandfather. I think this shows that Journey always did love grandfather
it's just that he was always really closed minded

# data[].attributes.body
The dream might symbolize that Journey is free and wants to go find his mother.

# data[].attributes.body
Journey and Grandfather are getting along now, and journey is hanging around him a lot becoming more like him.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Copper's family represents how Journey's family was like at first

# data[].attributes.body
i think the torn up photos he gave to bloom are photos he knew his mama didn't care about and didn't want to see them

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Cooper and his family are like a second family to journey

# data[].attributes.body
Cooper's family represents that what is in pictures isn't always the reality

# data[].attributes.body
I think the torn up photos show that Liddie doesn't really care about the memories or photos. I feel like she wanted to tear up the memories so that she could leave them behind. I think Journey gave the box to Bloom to show that he gave up and that he understands that even though he wishes she was, Liddie's not going to come back, and that even though he spends days patching up the photos and memories, nothing about that is goi ng to change.

# data[].attributes.body
Cooper's Family's Picture's show that things arent always what they seem. That makes me wonder if Liddie left for a different reason. Cooper's mom shows Journey to look behind the picture too.

# data[].attributes.body
I really think that Cooper's pictures show that although things look like something, they aren't always that it. This also triggers a bell, because if this is the case, then what is the reason that Liddie left?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Cooper and his family affect Journey and his family in many ways. Cooper's mom taught Journey that things aren't always the way they seem. Cooper's family shows what a family should look like and what Journey is missing. It represents a bonding relationship.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that journey is so close to Coopers family so it's like another family for journey

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Cooper and his family represent a sort of loving, strong family connection, which is why he is looking at all of the pictures on the walls. (I'm not saying that Journey doesn't have a loving family, but pointing out that the author is showing the difference between a family in a more fragile state, and one that is not as unfortunate.)

# data[].attributes.body
I think it means Journey wants to be free, but he's also afraid that everyone is going to forget or leave him

# data[].attributes.body
I think that since Journey's mom tore the photos up because she didn't really want a family anymore nd is now considered a bad mother, Journey wanted to show those to Bloom so that she doesn't follow i Mama's footsteps and can actually take car of her kids

# data[].attributes.body
Journey is now spending more time with grandfather and starting to like things he likes like taking pictures

# data[].attributes.body
i think that coopers family was like journeys family at some point before mama left them

# data[].attributes.body
The significance is that Journey really looks up to Grandfather, and he is beginning to be more like him.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Journey also thinks of Cooper and his family as family ( reference to when they were taking photo with Bloom's kitten). She also sometimes goes to their house to eat.

# data[].attributes.body
i think that cooper and his family look like when journey's parents
where with them

# data[].attributes.body
I think giving the box of photos to Bloom, represents that Journey has decided to let go of wanting his mom and trying to figure her. By giving Bloom the box of photos he's letting go of her. Now he knows it's impossible to make everything the way they once were. He says and thinks it's impossible to put every picture back together, and that represents he can't fix everything.

# data[].attributes.body
Bloom symbolizes for journey as a good mother as she take cares of her kittens unlike his mother who left him.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that since journey liked taking photos he started looking up to grandfather because they both had something in common

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Cooper and his family represent what Journey wishes his family could be like. You can tell that Journey is really thinking when he observes the photos in Cooper's house.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this represent a part of him moving on from his mother like most of the others have

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this means something is wrong, but he is too afraid to go and face it because he is worrying that everyone will forget him then abandon him.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the significance of Journey being like Grandfather is that Journey and Grandfather had a strained relationship at the beginning of the book. I think this is important because I originally thought that Journey was an overemotional, slightly insensitive character. When Journey started to like Grandpa and rebuild their relationship, it showed me that Journey is capable of growth, rather than being a static character

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's important that Journey is being like Grandfather because in the beginning, Journey was a bit mad at him and acted as if he was the reason Liddie left, but now, he's starting to see Grandfather in a different way. I think this connection symbolizes that Journey is accepting his situation and realizing it's not as bad as he thought before.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Journey and Grandfather are very alike and now that Journey begins to understand Grandfather, he probably admires him as well but wouldn't admit it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think journey is trying to remember his past, and remember his father because he thinks the person he's holding on to is his father.

# data[].attributes.body
i think that bloom symbolizes how she does things and that is what makes her think she's invincible

# data[].attributes.body
I think Bloom symbolizes a mother for Journey. A mother that would never abandon her kids. A mother that probably wouldn't even think of abandoning her kids.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that journey is trying to remembers fathers hand and a button he was putting on him when he was little.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Journey gave bloom the box because the torn photos themselves represented how his mother tore up the family, and now Journey gave the cat the box because what cat did kind of represented what happened in the past.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Journey is trying to remember that specific memory because he wants to believe that once, his family was happy and complete. I think he feels that he needs to hold on to that feeling so that he still has hope.

# data[].attributes.body
Journey is trying to remember what it was like when mama was still around

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this just simply means he is trying to remember his mom, or his past.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this means that Journey and grandpa are closer. I remeber in the begining of the story Journey didn't like grandpa and now they're close enough to influence him.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Journey might be trying to remember his past and when mama and father were still there, when they had their complete family.

# data[].attributes.body
I think journey wants to remember his past are still with him and everything was fine

# data[].attributes.body
I think this symbolizes Journey trying to remember his past, or his mom.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Journey is trying to remember a specific memory of when he was young. He is probably trying to remember his father's hand and how it feels.

# data[].attributes.body
I think he is trying to remember everything that he can't

# data[].attributes.body
I think Journey gave the box to Bloom because he wants to show that he doesn't care about his mother as much as he did before and wants Bloom to be better than her.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Bloom symbolizes a mother for Journey. I think Journey sees that Bloom is what a good mother should be, someone who won't leav e her children, who Journey never got to fully experience.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the hand and the button probably belong to his father, and I think in that picture, journey was in his father's hands the same way he was in Grandfather's hands.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that when Journey saw the torn up photos he didn't really think about his mother but what she done to the photos. He realizes that his mother never cared about the past as well as the memories that the photos hold. Journey becomes angry eventually and he gives the box to Bloom. I think that he gives the box to Bloom because she found it and also because she is symbolic for Journey as well,

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it shows that things aren't always as they seem because Copper's family seems all perfect but they definitely have some flaws

# data[].attributes.body
Cooper's family represents Journey's family before his mother left and I think he wishes to be like them.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this is important because grandfather and Journey have a lot in common, and I think that Journey is too stubborn to admit it, but Journey and grandfather are very close to each other.

# data[].attributes.body
It shows that Journey and his Grandfather have gotten closer to each other, and they get a long better.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the hand and button that she is trying to remeber is her father's. I think he is remebering him because she does not want to forget him.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Journey is trying to remember an important event that happened to him.

# data[].attributes.body
Bloom is like Journey's idea of a perfect mother.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Bloom symbolizes someone who will stick with Journey and his family, as well as a role model for who a mom should be to him.
