A light bulb represents an idea with its power running through its power cord and coming out producing light like how an idea runs through your brain. The light bulb represents Luigi's quick thinking and ideas throughout the story to help him and his friends.

A game board has a person behind it that created it from scratch and the game on the board. This is like how Luigi created games from his head and how he created them from scratch.

The card and chess pieces are examples of pieces to a game that you need to have to play. This connects to Luigi by you need a game designer to even start the game like Luigi creating the game in the first place.

Luigi told Chester "Some people say that the prize isn't the most important part," (Grabenstein 96). This is a significant quote because it shows that Luigi would rather just play the game for amusement instead of for the prize.

The lesson I learned from this story is that everyone has a talent. Everyone has a talent even if you don't find it at first but as you mature you find your talent.

Luigi had conflict with his talent because he doesn't like it. This is consequential because it makes him feel like he is worthless and his talent isn't as good as his siblings. With his siblings being smart and talented he feels out casted.
