The Crossover by Kwame Alexander - Warm up and Rule #1
Symbolism and the Extended Metaphor
A symbol is something that stands for both itself and something else
Kwame Alexander uses the game of basketball as a symbol for life
When a symbol is extended over a longer piece of text, it can be an extended metaphor. Remember that a metaphor compares two unrelated things and connects them.
Organization of Book:
Warm up

If the organization is a symbol of life, what would the “warm up” part of the “game” be in Josh’s life? Provide a paragraph response. Capitalize, revise spelling errors, and edit before submission.

“In this game of life, your family is the court and the ball is your heart. No matter how good you are, no matter how down you get, always leave your heart on the court.”
