This story is the perfect example of people mistaking vague writing for symbolism.

I laugh when I hear people talk about the layers of symbolism in it, then the look on their faces when I explain to them there is none.

I love some good symbolism, but I've ALWAYS been annoyed by those trying to find symbolism in every damned thing.

Luckily, I didn't run into the issue much in college, but in high school it killed me.

Sometimes, the author just means shite the way it is. And that's it.
