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. Applying this terminology to the convertible in Erdrich’s story, the reader finds numerous tenors revealed through one literal vehicle.

Again and again, automobiles give Fitzgerald’s characters a sense of excitement and possibility. But Fitzgerald repeatedly shows that these awe-inspiring cars are dangerous, misleading, and destructive.

Alison Bechdel’s graphic autobiography, Fun Home, tells the story of Alison’s childhood relationship with her father Bruce, through a broad series of allegorical and literary references. The final page of ¬Fun Home best illustrates the entire story by referring to the common theme Greek mythology, specifically the story of Daedalus and Icarus, in the image of Alison leaping towards her father. The reoccurrence of this story throughout the book also symbolizes the gender-confused, estranged relationship between Alison and her father as they struggle to identify their places in each other’s lives.
