In a story, a successful hero must be able to interpret symbols along the journey. For example, in the story called Forbidden City, the protagonist named Alex comes across different events, objects, and people who symbolise something that he has to analyze. One of the symbols from the story is a white statue that looks like the Statue of Liberty. This statue uses to hands to hold the torch and sits in the middle of Tian An Men Square facing the big picture of the dictator of China. Alex learns that the statue represents the students and the type of government and freedom the students are all fighting for. He notices, in a way the "Godess of Democracy" is peacefully there looking the government in the face, symbolizing the many students who just wanted democracy.
In real life, one symbol that seems to represent my school is a computer or laptop. It symbolizes how we focus on "twenty-first century learning" and how we use the technology and the internet to do a lot of our work. The internet is constantly gaining information and knowledge to share with others just like we, as students, are. An other invented symbol for New Tech is a puzzle. For the puzzle to be completed correctly, all of the little individual pieces have to come together as one. If you lose a piece or put it in the wrong place, the puzzle won't be the best it could be. It's the same when it comes to the students here. We all have to work together to complete our projects and if one person doesn't show up or does the wrong work, we don't produce the best project we possibly can.
