In Teenage Wasteland the symbol of the basketball represents how Donny life wasnt so consist. His mother paid a lot of attention to him when he was a child and as his became older that started to lessen. His grades would go down and his mother didnt even know it. Just like a basketball that bounce up down and how when you shoot the ball it may go in and it may not.
tHats like Donny's life. One minute things are going up and the next things are going dow. He may try his best but not all the time will he succeed. His mother doesnt see how hard he is trying and that can be why there is no motivation for donny. when you dont have motivation and courage things can fall apart. Jus like Donny and his mother.
Yes i agree, the ball bouncing up symbolizes him as a child and how everything was going good; but the moment he drops its his life goes down he hill. And at the end he shot for it to go in the basket but he misses and his life is gone.
