Aristotle And Dante Discover The Secrets Of The Universe Analysis
In the Novel Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Sàenz there are many recurring motifs. Two of the most repetitive and meaning full were the sparrows and the desert. In the book, sparrows represent the loss of Aristotle's childhood and innocence while the Desert represents his personality.
Aristotle’s innocence and childhood were portrayed by a sparrow. Aristotle grew up alone, his childhood was depicted as a period of time rushing to adulthood. With a father of war, Aristotle grew up distant from the only available male figure in his life, (the page where his dad says he's sorry for being so distant from him) causing him to grow up faster and more mature. With the loss of childhood comes the loss of innocence.
