Chapter Sixteen
Entry Twenty-Five
Like in many chapters before, this chapter mentions the forest again. Pearl and Hester walk through it after they had the discussion about Pearl wanting to know the truth behind the "A".A forest stands for safety, security and protection from storms, rain etc. But it also has something mysterious. You never know what creatures are hiding in the dark and endless shadows coming from big, old trees.
In this book, the forest changes its meanings several times, depending who was walking through it. For Pearl, for instance, it is like her home since she is associated with nature and a forest represents pure nature. So when she walks through it it must seem to her like coming home.
Good insight into the ideas/associations of forest. Again, this is well done. You could use this in an essay.
