Initiation
Storyboard-Text
- Flashback
- Metaphor
- Get up gopher! (Page 5)
- Simile
- In the beginning of the story Millicent comforts her friend Tracy who did not get into initiation. " We'll still go around together like we always have, and next year you'll surely get in" Millicent said to Tracy on page 2 . It later on shows this was one of her first flashbacks.
- Theme
- No girl at Lansing would be seen dead wearing knee socks, no matter how cold it gets! (Page 5)
- Throughout initiation Bev refers to Millicent as gopher. Throughout the story all girls doing initiation are known as the "gophers."
- Symbol
- "The basement room was dark and warm, like the inside of a sealed jar." The first sentence on page 1 had Millicent describing what the basement felt like.
- Character
- The theme is acceptance because throughout the whole story Millicent wants to fit in and be a part of the group by passing initiation but at the end she would rather be free and accepts herself for who she is.
- "Swooping carefree over the moors, they would go singing and crying out across the great spaces ofair, dipping and darting, strong and proud in their freedom and their sometime loneliness." (From page 9) I think the heather birds symbol Millicent because she wants to fly free and be herself.
- Millicent instantly describes Bev as rude and mean at the start of the story "There was something about her tone that annoyed Millicent. It was almost malicious. And there was an unpleasant anonymity about the label "gopher," It was degrading, like being given a number. It was a denial of individuality." (On page 5)
