Burnett, Frances Hodgson, and Tasha Tudor. The secret garden. Philadelphia: Lippincott, 1962. Print.
The poetic devise that I chose to share was symbol. This is because, throughout this story there are many objects or places that symbolize something more then what the average person would think they appear to be. The first one is Colin's wheel chair. In my opinion I felt that his wheel chair symbolizes the debilitating confines of negative thinking, which ironically Colin overcomes within the confines of a walled garden. Then the garden itself symbolizes all the secrets we keep within ourselves, hidden in the walls of our countenance.
