Read the following sentences from "The Youngest Doll."The aunt thought he was listening for the breathing of the prawn to see if it was still alive, and shefondly lifted his hand and placed it on the spot where he could feel the constant movement of thecreature's antennae. The young man released the ruffle and looked fixedly at his father. “You couldhave cured this from the start,” he told him. “That's true,” his father answered, “but I just wanted youto come and see the prawn that has been paying for your education these twenty years."In these sentences, the prawn most likely symbolizes

a) a craving for power and knowledge.
b) a sense of selfish motivation and greed.
c) a feeling of unity between father and son.
d) a secret shared between doctor and patient.

my answer is B

wait ms sue died?

Dude, she died like two-three years ago

She slayed and will forever live on

did we ever actually have proof that she died or was it som,ebody just saying it and people believed it? how do we know she died??

To determine the symbolism of the prawn in these sentences, we need to analyze its context and the emotions associated with it. In this case, the prawn is described as being alive and its movements can be felt. The aunt assumes that the young man is listening for the breathing of the prawn, implying that it is potentially fragile or in a critical state.

The young man's response suggests that he believes the prawn could have been cured, indicating a sense of responsibility or duty towards it. The father retorts that he wanted the young man to see the prawn that has been paying for his education for the past twenty years.

Based on these clues, it can be inferred that the prawn symbolizes a sense of selfish motivation and greed (option b). The father's remark implies that the prawn has been used as a source of income for the young man's education, suggesting a self-serving agenda rather than a genuine concern for the creature's well-being.

Amen and We all love you Ms. Sue.
