I also wanted me make sure the reader knows that this next sentence is going to talk about the town.] One symbol that was used was to compare the town he lives in to the cancer Ernie's wife has. [This is my evidence] “This small, good place, once drenched with ordinary hopes and decent money, was beginning to furl like an autumn leaf” (Wood 14). [Her's my claim: first I wanted to explain that the town is being compared to a leave crumbling in the fall] Ernie was comparing his town to a leaf in the fall.
