The Widow’s Broom – Riley Finn How has your picture book helped you to understand an aspect of society?

By using different literary methods authors are able to give their readers a better understanding of the message behind the piece of work. Using methods such as themes and symbolism allows readers to find the underlying meaning of the story rather than just simply reading something with no meaning or emotion behind it.

Although these two pieces are different, their use of symbolism gives readers a better understanding of the characters in each work and figure out their real struggles with the choices they make. Literature is meant to take its readers to another place and allow them to become part of it, whether it be a story or a poem or play.

1120). A statement of specific implications is that Forgiveness therapy possibly will prove effective in the future for the reason that it gets to the heart of the problem for some clients. “Deep hurts borne out of unfair treatment seem to play a part in substance use and abuse”. Therefore it can be noted that substance use from this concept is a warning sign of “underlying resentments and related emotional disruptions” (Lin., et al, 2004 p. 1119-1120). Within the discussion there are specific suggestions for future research on comparison of Forgiveness therapy with other anger focused therapies.
A Comparison – “Guilt” and “This Day in History” "To have guilt you've got to earn guilt, but sometimes when you earn it, you don't feel the guilt you ought to have" (James Dickey). This quote is a perfect representation of the two poems that use guilt as their main theme, "Guilt" by Leona Gom and "This Day in History" by Bert Almon, due to its ability to explain the fact that we as humans constantly commit certain actions with a result of a different reaction then we usually expect.
