The Stone Angel

I need to come up the symbols throughout the book and make a collage and explain them. i have the stone angel, the flowers, and the birds. Anymore anyone can think of.
thanks.

This seems like the sort of thing a Google search might help with. Try searching for 'Stone Angel symbols," and you should find plenty of sites discussing the various symbols in the novel.

Thanks i did look and i can't find a lot. i now have the stone ange, flowers, birds, water and a plaid pin.

this may help, i'm not sure.

good luck

Evoke your memories. The good thoughts come from your own experience.

thanks derricktv but that is site has nothing at all.

Well, you have five symbols then, which should form a good basis for your collage. Do you have a specific number you have to find? Or can you merely elaborate on the five you already have?

i think i will start with the 5 and see how it looks and then add something small if i can find something any suggestions would be great
thanks

We have to do a collage and write about each picture

Is this opening strong enough

The Stone Angel (underlined) by Margaret Laurence is a story about a ninety-one year old woman who is close to death who looks back at her life with little pride. She has let her life be ruled by outward appearances, even her ability to show love and happiness was compromised for fear she would be looked at as weak. Throughout the novel many images are used to help portray Hagar's character. Images such as the flowers and baby chicks depict Hagar's way of life; the stone angel symbolizes her pride, and the water and Bible reflect her struggles.

I'd say you need to add a bit more about the significance of each symbol. For instance, how does a stone angel represent pride? In what way is she made of stone? In what way can she be seen as an angel? Etc.

Should I say it about all the symbols or just the ones i mentioned in the opening statement. The rest of my essay is about what they represent so would i be repeating myself.

The idea is that you would summarize the main points in your introduction, then expand on them in the body paragraphs. You want your introduction to be a road map for the reader, so that the reader knows where you are going with your work.

thanks this helps

How about looking up the book and searching?

Maybe that would help.
Sorry if it doesn't.

I have to put a collage together of symbols for Stone Angel - what symbols did you use? Thanks

Hi Alisa! How are you? Are you an ILC student? I am also ILC's student.

Do you know what kind of question we will have in Final test? Do you have any idea about preparation for final?


If you don't mind, can i see your Unit-2 Key question? Can you send it to me on vipu_d_c@yahoo.co.in.






Thanks

i am preparing for the final now

it is something like this....4 questions (paragraphs) one for each book and an essay questions about the 4 books some how. they say to really study your key question answers and support questions. there is no multiply choice questions. but all this could change. i would imagine each exam will be different for each student so no one can copy.

Hey alisa I could really use some help if you have the support questions for units 3 and 4 im on a deadline can you please help me thanks.My email is ddaniel62@hotmail.com

Hey can anyone help me with some support questions from unit 3 and 4 please thank you
