Symbols & Motifs
Communication
Communication is an important motif in the novel. Paradoxically, Jackson copes with his family’s problems both by retreating into facts and by creating a fantastical imaginary friend who inspires him to believe in the impossible. What he does not do is express how he feels to his parents. He does not tell them he is angry or scared and tries to be helpful so as not to add to their burdens.
