This image represents Baba's personality throughout the novel. It shows how he is a very admirable man but holds a past that he cannot get over. This past torments him everyday. The outside of this picture represents his tough exterior while the water that runs through the drain represents his soft side. The tall rocks on the pavement represents the countless accomplishments he has achieved throughout his life. However, the drain represents the one mistake he has made throughout his life, which drains away the satisfaction of his other accomplishment.
This is clever! Well done!
ReplyDeleteI really like how you describe Baba's guilt like a drain. It is really interesting to think that he feels like he could never get rid of the guilt of his betrayal with good deeds.
ReplyDeleteI like how the same rocks are used to show both his strength and his weaknesses, instead of using multiple items to show the different aspects of Baba.
