Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 204 class. The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start conversations before we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing/reading on a weekly basis in an informal forum.

Symbolism of the Seasons to me and to the Story

        Each season to me basically means the weather change and holiday's approaching. Each season has a different symbolism. These are some ideas that come to mind to me about the meaning of the seasons:

Fall: To me fall you see many things happening. One event is school starting. School begins in the fall season. In the fall you also see the change in the colors of leaves. You also see leaves  falling to the ground. The holidays that happen in the fall are Halloween and Thanksgiving. The temperature also begins to change.

Winter: To me winter means cold. The temperature starts to drop. You begin to see many people where layers of clothing. Jackets, scarfs, gloves and boots are being pulled out by many people. Snow begins to fall. Children build snowmen and make snow angels. You walk in the street and see children with smiles on their faces because they are having fun playing in the snow. Two traditional holidays that occur during winter are Christmas and News Years. To me another special event that happens in the winter is my birthday.

Spring: In spring the snow begins to disappear and trees begin to come back to life. Flowers begin to bloom. Colorful flowers you see begin to grow and more bouquets are made. The level of rain showers increase. Not many holidays occur during this season.  At the end of spring school finishes.

Summer: Summer is a very important season to me. Summer to me means vacation. School is over with until next fall. It also means fun in the sun. People like to go out to the pool and also to the beach. Little kids running around the streets playing ball and eating ice cream. Just having a good time. Playgrounds are full with people. Sprinklers in the playground are turned on.

 In the story, the seasons mean a complete opposite thing.  In the story the seasons mean events and experiences that the characters are facing in their lives. They determine each experience with each season. Every life event or issue that occurred or occurs in their everyday lives is being resembled to a season.
