A White Heron

Sylvia feels a connection to the White Heron because they are both lonely, innocent, and free. The Heron symbolizes freedom (being able to fly away), which Sylvia didn't have until she moves in with Mrs.Tilley. The Heron tends to fly alone not in flocks. Sylvia spends a majority of her time alone. This shows us that both are innocent and aren't social. Both the heron, White Heron, and Slyiva (place "white" skin) are white. White is a represent purity. 

Blog 2: The Body of Christopher Creed Ending

I enjoyed reading Carol Plum-Ucci's novel The Body of Christopher Creed. I think it was a very interesting because the other would give you clues foreshadowing that one thing will happen when something else happened. For example I thought  that Bo would be taken into jail and that his liberty was on the line but it ended up being Torey whose liberty and trust on the line. Also the physic said that Torey would find a body in the burial ground I thought it would be Chris but it ended up being Digger's father. 

I think that the last responses on Torey's website was from Chris. This is because it goes into great  deal about why Chris would have left and about Chris' life. For example it said that Chris could have possible gone to live with his aunts because they didn't like Chris' mother, there sister, and he may have felt that they would be able to relate to him. Also it said that if Torey were to ever get in contact with Chris that he should wait until Chris was twenty-five so no one would know who he really is.
