Beauty is in the soul A beautiful heart is better than a beautiful face. The phrase you hear all the time while you’re growing up‚ especially if you’re a girl.

the rather abstract idea of hope‚ in the free spirit of a bird. Emily uses brilliant imagery‚ and metaphor‚ to help describe why she thinks that a bird is a fitting metaphor for hope.

However‚ there are things that will never be understood by humans such as death and the existence of a soul; thus‚ understanding based on our science and logic can help us to conceptualize fundamental aspects of fear‚ but it is nearly impossible to completely overcome it through understanding.
