Teenage Wasteland
In the story, there was great symbolism which in the end it got us to think about what might happened to Donny. In my opinion, the ball at the end symbolizes Donny. I think say this because when Donny's mother went to pick him up from Carl's house, he was enjoying playing basketball. Which might describe Daisy had that vision. Donny was probably trying to communicate with Daisy to tell her he is saved and not dead. Since the basketball dropped in leaves it is a soft drop.

I kind of see your point. The thing is that for me, the basketball represents Donny's life. I mean we could even think of Donny's life as a basketball game, bouncing from one place to another, and being dribbled by his mother.
ReplyDeleteAt least that's my point of view.
I just thought that Daisy killed Donnie and buried him under the leaves. It would make sense though, who knows. Maybe it really was Donnie and he kept coming back thinking he wants to come back home but all he could do was stay in the yard and shoot some hoops.
