The only main implications I have with this book is the format; you have to flip between the pages to match the numbers up with.

Fixing the car seems to have lifted his spirits because it was familiar and something that allowed him to feel useful and competent for a while. “The Red Convertible” is a seemingly simple story, but the changing symbolism of the car gives it richness and depth. In describing metaphors, scholars often use the terms vehicle and tenor. The vehicle is the image used to communicate meaning (the tenor) to the reader.

Her argument was organized and she gave three specific reasons why students shouldn’t get married in
