I know there's sparknotes, but it's better to ask someone who has read it.

I haven't read it yet.

It's Saturday night.  Read it tonight, answer tomorrow

Alright, would you guys think this was the same as the one posted above?

Death in “Dandelion Wine” symbolizes that when somebody dies, things die along with that person, such as emotions, memories, and recollections. Colonel Freeleigh talks to the children about his adventure and everything he saw, the kid are interested in his stories. When Colonel Freeleight dies, Douglas feels as if everything he knew about him died. Even though he still has the memories with him they aren’t the same when Colonel Freeleigh dies. Douglas says, “Yesterday Ching Ling Soo died. Yesterday the Civil War ended right here in this town forever. Yesterday Mr. Lincoln died right here and so did General Lee and General Grant and a hundred thousands others facing north and south.”(Page 136) Douglas realizes that a lot of people died in a very short amount of time and he doesn’t believe it. It’s like everything was there and the next minute it was gone. “It’s awful Tom, It’s awful! What we going to do without all those soldiers and Generals Lee and Grant and Honest Abe; what we going to do without Cing Ling Soo? I never dreamed so many people could die so fast, Tom. But they did. They sure did!” (Page 136) Douglas is shocked that everyone has died and they aren’t coming back. Bradbury views death as a symbol of a new beginning. In the chapter about Helen Loomis they talk about reincarnation. This shows that he thinks when someone dies; they will come back to life in another body.

wait do you have to use turnitin.com or other such anti-plagiarizing sites?


and yes it looks decent but still can kind of tell, especially if your teacher checks those sites and reads your papers carefully. If not you should be good

No, she just prints it out and goes over it. I just edited someone else's because we post online and we can see other peoples. I think it would be hard to tell unless she really is trying hard to tell.
