From Spades to Scribes

This is my introduction paragraph on one of the stories we have read so far this year.
Authors, such as Seamus Heaney the writer of the poem  “Digging” are able to use a variety of tools including symbolism to display the main ideas in their texts. Symbols are able to create opportunities for a different or greater meaning in the words. They allow for the author to demonstrate their idea without making and explicit statement. Heaney is able to use symbolism to demonstrate that one must not always follow in their family’s footsteps but instead find and create their own paths.
