Finally got through reading laura nowlin symbolism analysis Nowlin's novel and I'm completely mesmerized by the symbolism woven throughout! The fall metaphors that runs through the entire book is such a brilliant way to represent Autumn's character development and the transitions she goes through. The thing that struck me most was how Nowlin uses the symbolic tiara as this stunning symbol for personal value and how we see ourselves versus how the world sees us. Has anyone else analyzed how the ongoing themes of what could have been tie into the larger YA fiction patterns that make this such a standout in contemporary teen fiction analysis?
