If someone goes to the trouble to compile a group of particular songs together in a particular order, this action usually signifies that the maker of the mix tape cares a lot about the taste of the person who is going to receive it. An example of this is when Charlie gives Patrick a mix tape. ]]> 2021-02-02 17:42:43 UTC https://padlet.com/guy_gagnier/2h0f4a8emgbc3kkg/wish/1155013905 DiegoRomeroR https://padlet.com/guy_gagnier/2h0f4a8emgbc3kkg/wish/1155016172 During the novel Melinda gets a tree for a art project it is also represented like Melindas growth through the novel trying to rebrand her identity.

For example, when something big happens to Charlie or he learns something new the author usually take the story to the tunnels and Charlie feels epic or "Infinte". At the end of Part 1, Charlie was just at the party and he got drunk for the first time. He also felt appreciated and loved after a long time of feeling alone and depressed. We fing the characters going through the tunnel and it marks a big step on Charlie's path in adolesence.

I think that this could symbolize how she wants to run away from the world. A good example of this would be "My closet is a good thing, a quiet place that helps me hold these thoughts inside my head where no one can hear me(Anderson,32)"]]> 2021-02-02 17:43:22 UTC https://padlet.com/guy_gagnier/2h0f4a8emgbc3kkg/wish/1155018096 https://padlet.com/guy_gagnier/2h0f4a8emgbc3kkg/wish/1155019561 Patrick, Sam, Charlie, Charlies sister, everyone connects and bonds with the sound of a good song.]]> 2021-02-02 17:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/guy_gagnier/2h0f4a8emgbc3kkg/wish/1155019561 https://padlet.com/guy_gagnier/2h0f4a8emgbc3kkg/wish/1155020877 its a symbol because they use it as a way to get out of uncomfortable situations, offering a temporary solution but not a long term one. Am example is when Charlie kisses Sam instead of Mary Elizabeth, he uses drugs in order to numb himself from all that is going around.

They also do it because maybe they are having a rough time and they don't want to think about those things for a while. Charlie also ended up addicted to smoking because his friends were not hanging out with him due to the fact that he kissed sam.]]> 2021-02-02 17:44:04 UTC https://padlet.com/guy_gagnier/2h0f4a8emgbc3kkg/wish/1155022183 24mendoza6414 https://padlet.com/guy_gagnier/2h0f4a8emgbc3kkg/wish/1155033436 The whole section is just symbolism in English class with Hairwoman. "A wall with glass embedded in it" (Anderson 100). Hairwoman then explains how glass is used in prisons. Therefore it tells the reader that the house with walls that have glass is a symbol for a hurtful or dangerous place. Or that the house is a prison. ]]> 2021-02-02 17:46:02 UTC https://padlet.com/guy_gagnier/2h0f4a8emgbc3kkg/wish/1155033436 https://padlet.com/guy_gagnier/2h0f4a8emgbc3kkg/wish/1155037379 In the novel Melinda hates mirrors since she can see her reflection, which she hates.
