Before:One of the crafts that Neal Shusterman used was internal thinking. He used this to show how they were adapting to their new mentors and how they were changing to share similar values. This could be seen on page 251 where Rowan writes in his journal “Training under Scythe Goddard is different from Scythe Faraday, it is intense, physical. If I am a weapon then Im being sharpened against a grindstone every day.” Another way he used internal thinking was when Citra was with Scythe Curie when she stabbed an unsuspecting man on the sidewalk, Citra later blurred out words of anger towards Scythe Curie with her explaining why she had done that even thinking “ I had to admit that Scythe Curie was right and that there was a certain amount of decorum required of an apprentice.” These things showed that through the trials and challenges, the two students are starting to understand what their mentors value and slowly are learning to do so too.

Before: In the middle of ‘Afterworlds’ when Yama gives Liz the bracelet a symbol of love and trust is shown between the two characters. When Yama gives Liz the bracelet, Yama tells Liz; “This is a symbol of my love and trust to you” then Liz continues on to say “Wow...thank you so much Yama”  One would say that the author used the bracelet as a symbol to show that Liz can trust Yama with everything, and Yama will always accept her no matter what. The reader can see a level of trust already built from this moment, how one small object can symbolise so much and mean so much to one person. How a bracelet can ‘symbolise a whole world of emotions.’
After: (not completely done) In the middle of ‘Afterworlds’ when Yama gives Liz the bracelet a symbol of love and trust is shown between the two characters. When Yama gives Liz the bracelet, Yama tells Liz; “This is a symbol of my love and trust to you” then Liz continues on to say “Wow...thank you so much Yama” The above change in emotions and mood is a turning point in the story, where Scott Westfield conveys that the power of acceptance can help you come closer and trust your loved ones. One would say that the author used the bracelet as a symbol to show that Liz can trust Yama with everything, and Yama will always accept her no matter what. The reader can see a level of trust already built from this moment, how the power of accepting someone or yourself can allow you to trust others and form stronger relationships.

As we have seen throughout the book the author has used numerous ways to show how the characters have changed because of friendship and how they have changed on the inside to, with how they think and interact with each other, they show how they have come together. The author helps us understand that it’s not just about you're alter ego making you do what you want, but rather what you need. It shows us that sometimes all you need is a good friend who can help you change for the better.

The narrator states that “ You weren't weirded out that i’m a ghost, because i’m dead, gone, disgusting.  Why do you want to be my friend.” Above here is where the author changed the mood in a way, because in paragraph 2 it stated that Liz would like to be her friend.Since Mindy has hardly have any form of human contact and if she had they were terrible. She doesn’t accept herself due to her being dead, the author was able to change the mood quickly through just one sentence. This displays the theme of acceptance on how she doesn’t like who she is because of the pass connections/meetings she had with other human, but also how Liz accepted who she is because Liz was in the same position she was in before.

- Just started working on this today

In Messenger, trade symbolises the dark cravings that lie in our mind. The cravings that only seem to be satisfied by possessions. The trade-master in the book entices with more, but only gives less. After reading the book, one would certainly notice that Messenger was against materialism. However while finishing the book, it’s hard not to wonder why the people of Village decided to trade in the first place.

When the Mill is first mentioned it is used to symbolise hope for a better future.  I think that the Mill symbolises hope when it is first introduced because it is introduced as something that is going to change their lives for the better to all of the other animals.  Although the Mill would take a long long time to build, it would help them later on.

When the Mill is first mentioned it is used to symbolise hope for a better future.  I think that the Mill symbolises hope when it is first introduced because it is introduced as something that is going to change their lives for the better to all of the other animals.  Although the Mill would take a long long time to build, it would help them later on.  On P51 George Orwell says  “All that year the animals worked like slaves. But they were all happy in their work; they grudged no effort or sacrifice, well aware that everything they did was for the benefit of themselves” This shows that the animals are trying to keep a positive mindset towards the construction of the mill.

Many believe that size can matter and that big is better than small. But in the story “Scythe” by Neal Shusterman it shows that something as small as a ring can control something as big as the whole population of the world.

Conclusion -

In conclusion, Amani’s sheema is a good example of symbolism in the book, and the ideas the the sheema presents are differing themes of love and deception.

Revised Conclusion -

In Rebel of the Sands, Hamilton's clever use of symbolism makes the book a great read, giving the reader new ideas on important themes like deception, and love.
