Blog #2: How Far She Went

For my second blog this semester, I decided to blog prompt 2. This option allows me to form a collage of pictures which represent literary terms I encountered in the short story I read. The story the collage is constructed around is How Far She Went by Mary Hood.

From left to right

The dog is a symbol of sacrifice in the story.

The dirt road was symbolic for the girl walking to nowhere where she got angry.

The insects symbolized the foreshadowing of the "annoying sound" when the girl riding up on the motorcycles.

The Queen Anne's Lace flower sets a sort of mood of the story, and location.

The gravestone symbolizes the grandmother's daughter, and all of Granny's hopes being burried.

The grandmother, to me, represents discipline. She's also one of the main characters.

The girl shown symbolized the type of "swagger" the girl had.

The dock was where the grandmother and her granddaughter hid from the motorcyclist.

The purple flower and the honey suckle (2nd on bottom) set sensory details. It makes you imagine a certain scent.

The chevy truck was ironic, because the only time they really needed it was the only time it didn't run.

The dry strip of land represents the lack of growth throughout the granddaughter's beginning days at Granny's.

The respect icon was the moral of the story.
