Just finished diving into If He Had Been With Me and I'm totally captivated by the literary devices woven throughout! The seasonal symbolism that flows across the entire book is incredibly clever way to symbolize Autumn's coming of age story and the inevitable changes she faces. What I found fascinating was how the tiara scene analysis author employs the tiara scene as this beautiful representation for personal value and how personal identity versus how others view us. Has anyone else picked up on how the ongoing themes of missed opportunities tie into the broader coming of age themes that make this such a standout in current young adult literary devices?
