The predominant symbols of the novel 1) love, pain and soul; 2) Light, liberating, and ice; 3) Spell and chain; 4) sign and lighthouse

this novel has a lot of symbolisms that help convey its meaning. According to the dictionary the word “love “ is describes as a profound , tender, passionate affection for another person, however, love means hatred, betrayal , and vengeance for the lighthouse keeper. According to the dictionary Pain is a physical symptom. It is ironic that “ancient histories of pain” refers to an individual’s emotional pain instead of physical injury. Phoebe felt her body was being torn apart from her soul emotionally while she was held prisoner in a cave. The soul is a spirit that intertwines with the body and mind as one. Therefore, soul means the Lighthouse keeper took over James body to continue his road of destruction. According to the dictionary of symbolism light stands for intelligence, goodness, and the ultimate reality. Light represents the sun through darkness. Therefore, “Love light” stands for deep feelings a certain individual has toward that special someone that can’t overshadows the lighthouse keeper pain. Liberating means to free the mind and accept new ideas. Therefore, liberating means the keeper returning James body. According to the dictionary ice is defined as any substances that resemble frozen water. In this case ice represents demons who wanted to destroyed Piper and Paige because they refuse to compromise. According to the dictionary “spell “is defined as a practice of ideas based on occultism that certain individual uses to obtain their true desire. In this case, Piper, Paige and Phoebe recited a spell to vanquished demons from the underworld. According to the dictionary a chain is a data structure that consists of a variable. In this case, the keeper who appeared to be in James body uses the chain on Phoebe to drain all of her magical ability.
 
The tone of this novel is very creepy, magical, and mysterious. While the three witches were heading towards Serenity Cove a young sailor stop them. He warm them to stay away from the village because he believes that the lighthouse keeper who suppose to be dead one hundred years ago his going to destroy anyone who dare to stand on his way from reuniting with his true. This indicate creepiness. phoebe admitting thewater creatures must be acting in their own there may be no ghost indicatees creeepiness and mystery.

  3. hey, this is Eric , one of smiths students.

    What has the author done well?
    You did a great job at identifying symbols and characteristics about the novel

    What stands out to the reader?
    the fact that this was supposed to be an interprtive peice, yet u seemed to stick mainly to summerizing. Sort of like reading something out of an encyclopedia

    Is the draft complete?
    yea

    What needs to be done today to get it to the next level by the end of class?
    Read this essay to yourself and then read the question posed to you by Smith.

    Is the discussion of the work detailed?
    You seemed to go into great detail on certain subjects. Like i could tell what parts of the book you liked just by reading your descriptions, so expand on that.

    Can you “see” what is happening in the story?
    yea u gave pretty good visualizations, but like i said it reads like a summery

    Is the language clear? What problems do you see? from wat i can see your grammer was on point and your sentence structures were correct, you should work on your compostion though, read your work over.

    Does the author cite their sources properly (everyone should at least cite their story)? If in doubt, Google search a few passages.
    Im sure ull do fine next draft. Non to be cited
