In the story The Book Krik Krak Donticat uses the symbols to represent the freedom that the Haitian people long for. Three of the symbols are the hot air balloon, the boat, and the villa rose. The hot air balloon is use for the guy to escape because he could give his son more. He ended up killing himself off the off of the hot air balloon by jumping off of it because he was poor and had no money to give to his son. The Villa rose is an other symbol of freedom because it is a place that the people wanted to go for freedom because they were treated as slaves and they wanted to go to a place that they would be free. On the boat the girl didnt want to lose her dead baby so she would stay up everyday and the people were watching her until she got tired so they can grab the baby and throw it into the water. the girl wouldn't sleep. The day she fell asleep they grab the dead baby and throw it in the ocean. The girl went and jumped after her baby.

The symbol I chose was the ballon because it shows a symbol of freedom because the guy is poor and he can't afford anything.
