Ms. Rain Symbolism

Ms. Rain played the symbol of a hero on Precious’s come back to society. Before Ms. Rain appeared in Precious’s life she was just a teen that was constantly beat up by her mom and raped by her father until they were satisfied. Everyone gave up on her and ignored her in school, she was invisible to society. When Precious stumbled upon Ms. Rain, she saw her as just another teacher who will brush her off the equation. Then, she started to realize that Ms. Rain really cared about her. Ms.Rain pushed Precious and helped her read and write. Ms.Rain was there to help Precious with her problems and help her find answers by reading and writing on her notebook. Precious was able to find peace with her notebook and was able to finally express herself
to someone. It seemed like she was plagued and stuck in a world with her being put down and was left there to be a servant to her mom and dad. This was until Ms.Rain set her free. Precious was strong enough to step up to her abusive mother and leave the house and move to Advancement House. What Ms.Rain did was get let the Precious out that she saw she could be by teaching her to read and write. This started as a story that seemed to have a bad ending reading from the beginning. All that changed when Precious met Ms.Rain. She learned that she was not doomed or that she had to live a life full with curses. Ms.Rain was there and loved her very much and that’s how Precious was able to get through life because she finally knew what it meant to have someone that cared for her. Ms. Rain understood what Precious is going through and answered the questions that Precious asked her. What I think was that Precious was able to find strength in what Ms.Rain told her and use all the knowledge that she got from her and use it to her advantage. What Precious was able to accomplish was because of what Ms.Rain was able to teach her. She received an award called the Literacy Award and Precious got really good at reading and writing and did better on a test she took before.
